Lack of Activity on My Blog...

Explaining the Lack of Activity

There has been a significant lack of activity here on my blog.

As per usual, I have been really busy with all kinds of activity.

Here is a list of things that I have been working on:

• I have been working concerts at the Arizona Financial Theatre in downtown Phoenix, AZ.
• I have been working at football games at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ.
• I have started riding my bike again.
• I have been focusing a lot of time and energy working on the Network Support and Security online class from Cisco Networking Academy.
• I have been working out at the gym quite a bit.
• I have been organizing my photos into collections over on Google Photos.
• I have been trying to come up with a list of blogging post ideas to write about.
• I even flirted with the idea of moving my blog here at Blogger on to another platform.

I even fell into the bottomless pit that is Twitter/X.

I spent a lot of energy on two very long posts. Moreover, I was underwhelmed by the reaction I got to those two posts. Disappointment aside, I am writing this blog for myself. If other people are interested, then that's great.

Lack of interest in my blog isn't going to deter me. It just means that my blog has yet to find an audience. That will come as I write more posts.

My Experience with a Pig Butchering Scam

Introduction

A few months ago, I was almost the victim of what is known as a pig butchering scam.

This will probably end up being a very lengthy post that will take some time to write.

Hopefully, my experience might be of use to someone.

Here is my rough outline for this post.

Moving Back to Arizona

New Membership on Plenty of Fish

Using What's App

What is Calculate BAT?

Christmas in San Francisco

The Hardsell

What is Pig Butchering?

In Conclusion

UPDATE: I REALLY need to work on this post. Now, I keep meeting people on Twitter/X that may or may not be a cryptocurrency scammer. On the other hand, after doing extensive research, I have concluded that there are legitimate ways to make money from investing in cryptocurrencies. For far too long, I let my experience with being the target of a pig butchering scam affect my opinion on cryptocurrencies. Still, there are cryptocurrency scammers out there that people should be aware of.

Just Checking In...

Yes, I realize that I haven't posted to my blog for the past couple of days.

I just got busy doing other things.

As a result, I NEED to update all of my social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter/X, Blogger).

• On Friday, I went to the Home Depot in Surprise, AZ and bought some items to practice making crossover networking cables. Look for an upcoming post on that.
• On Saturday, I drove back down to the Phoenix Mountain Preserve and did some hiking. I had to try out my new hiking boots and my new hydration system. I also tried using the All Trails app on my phone as I hiked. Look for an upcoming post on that.
• Lastly, I took some photos while hiking, so I will have to make a post on about that. In fact, I have to get to work on writing these posts about hiking in Maricopa County. I should be able to one post per day. I need to get to work on this or my backlog will get incredibly long.

Now, it looks like I am going on an afternoon trip over to Wickenburg, AZ, so I might not be able to start posting until later tonight.

Things happen...
