Family day long weekend is one of my favorite long

weekends of the year. Mainly because it's so close to Spring and I have 2 days off. One with pay.

The auto industry is testing V-to-V (VV) technology. Vehicle to Vehicle. This could potentially save tens of thousands of lives and reduce collisions. It's basically where air bags were in the early 1990's. V-to-V is where wifi communicates with other cars. It's a real game changer. I don't know if it's going to stop pedestrian accidents but I believe we're going to see VV technology by the end of this year.

We're still not 100% certain what we're going to do with our washer and dishwasher (appliances). We have up until the 27th. My wife is going to management directly on Tuesday and ask if she can have permission to keep them here. Neither of these appliances are working, they are mostly just pieces of furniture. If management still insists they have to be off the premises by the 27th, then we're probably going to put them into storage for a couple of months until we know what to do with them.

I always knew 1 finger guitar chords existed but didn't know how to use them. I always thought they had a tinny, weak sound. I saw this guy use them in old rock standards, "Smoke on the water," "Iron man" and they sound pretty darn good and fat. It's just 2 adjacent strings on one fret. I'm going to get my guitar fixed and have the sales people at Axe music and teach me how to use a tuner and try them out next month. I was quite excited to see them being used like this.

Bitcoin is a currency that is very volatile. Just recently it went from $800 down to $500. In March we're getting a bitcoin machine in West Edmonton Mall and 3 others in the city. I might buy a few of them but the virtual currency is still to unstable. This could, in a decade or so be the world currency. 

Today I'm reading and working on my music so its going to be a relaxing day. There might be an Olympic hockey game on as well. Anyway, that's about all for now.
