Today I played another eighteen baskets of disc golf with my son and a different one of his friends, (other than who we played with yesterday). I think we were both feeling a bit tired because by the end of the second game our scores were pretty bad. I think I ended up with four over par on the nine baskets. The first game I think I was one over par.
Tomorrow is the first day of school for my son so we were kind of wanting to get another game in before he gets more busy doing school work.
I also rode my ebike down to the store to get some shopping done. It saves a lot of gas to do the short trip like that with the ebike. I don't even bother to recharge it if I take it just a few miles like that. I think I have at least ten miles on the battery and it shows almost full still. Some of that might be because it recharges on the downhill after climbing. Ten miles on flat ground without using the pedals would probably drain the battery half way down.
Just before we went camping I took these pictures of the apple trees. I've been checking on them every morning. This morning there were about a dozen apples that had fallen off of the reddish apple tree and one that came off the yellow apple tree.
Here's the red apple tree in the morning light:

A close-up of the yellow apple tree:
I don't remember their official names but the apples taste great. The reddish on is crisp and fragrant kind of like a honey crisp apple. The yellow one is like a crisp golden delicious.
I ate a couple of them for breakfast this morning. I picked the ones with some holes in them. The ones that are not injured or eaten by worms I like to store in the refrigerator for later.
It looks like things are picking up again around here and crypto looks like it is going to be a good investment over the next few months. I'm feeling pretty good about things. It will be interesting to see what new developments happen in all the different tokens traded with steem as a base.
Thanks for reading! I always value your support and comments. The pictures were taken by me with my Galaxy S9+. Text and graphics copyright lightsplasher & litesplasher.

Good post
Love that shot with the sunlight filtering through the trees. I am glad our site is back up and running.
Yes I have been waiting for Steem to stop dropping. At the moment it seems to have stabilized. Not sure what the downside risk is...
Best regards to your Son @lightsplasher I know the excitement of going to school and I think it is special for a child to go to a nice school to learn new things skills and social values.
Those apples looks fantastic I might as well buy some because I never had apples for a while now :D
I'm concerned about one thing, bot owners cashing out because they can't make any profit from steem anymore, that would def crash the price, not sure if it would be a good thing or bad thing, small content creators would get more power on the blockchain from scooping up all that near free STEEM and because of the increase in curation PoB of the chain would be restored... I do wonder if it really happened how would people take a decrease in STEEM's price :/
I'm also very excited to see how some STEEM based tokens will do in the long-term, especially now that aggroed is adding ads to steem-engine, that will 100% increase the token's price
It seems like bot owner profit is coming from capital investment in steem and any business activity there amounts to just a redistribution of that capital in an existing system. If anything it probably concentrates the wealth more or pushes the steem price down if rewards are cashed out of the system into fiat. Pushing that business model into a more manually curation based system could help the price.
It is really tough to guess where things are heading. Lots depends on where BTC goes from here. The market dominance is really high for BTC now. I think many people are expecting it to move higher and are not looking so much into other opportunities at the moment.
Having ads being paid by purchasing tokens on the communities that fit those ads and burning the ad purchased tokens could really boost the token price. It would also be a nice way for advertisers to get targeted ads placed. I could see LEO or AFIT really moving up if targeted ads were done this way and there seems to be support for doing this type of thing in those communities.
So true, and AFIT really needs it... Imho I think AFIT is lacking some strong solid business plan, they have a huge commnity but they aren't monopolizing that community, they should have a specific AFIT forum where people could ask answeres and others would get rewarded inflation for replying, just like bodybuilding.com, they should put targeted ads like you were talking about in this forum, the community would know that the ad revenue would come back to them so they would be more prone to watching them and maybe even buying the product.
Hopefully AFIT will start getting their stuff straight. They should ask steemleo's lab for a opinion on their token and what they could do better.
