My projected electric bill for this month looks like it will be about $60.00 and that is great. The only problem is I have to pay $75.00 on top of that for the re-billing that TXU is doing. But I can handle it. I just hope that I can keep down the monthly cost for the next six months until the re-billing amount is paid off.
If it was just me here I would turn off the AC for the next six months and suffer. But my grandson would die. All he has known all his life is air conditioning.
Of course at 71 years of age I am not sure I could make it in July and August here in Fort Worth.
When I have a low electric bill and get a few dollars from some other source (Google AdSence) I have some money that I like to spend on toys. I have a Samsung Intercept cell phone on Virgin Mobile at the current time. I want a better phone but I want to stay with Virgin Mobile. I been thinking about getting the Motorola Triumph but I would like to hold out until VM offers a better phone.
I have a Logitech HD Pro Webcam 910. It is excellent. I make most of my YouTube videos with it.
Well Logitech has a model 920. It is the same price and looks the same but has a few little minor changes. It does HD 1080p but with H.264 compression built into the camera. Right now when I do a 1080p video and say it is a 10 minute video when I am done recording it the software will take 10 minutes and compress the file. So my computer is pretty much useless for that 10 minutes. It takes a lot of CPU to compress the file. The 920 does it in the camera. The 920 also has a tripod-ready base and I like having a camera I can put on a tripod. That is about it. Minor improvements but I am willing to spend the $80.00 for the camera.
I am a YouTube partner and in the past some YouTube partner have got thousands of dollars given to them to improve their hardware and software. It has been the popular YouTubers and I am not one of them. They have a deal coming up and they are going to give a few YouTube partners I think it is $5K worth of hardware for free. I applied but I am sure they will not pick me. But it would be nice.
I would like a new camera! I know … I just got a Canon G12 and I love it. I have not even learned out to use all the power of the G12 yet.
I would like to get a Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 camera. It is only $229.00 and is not as powerful as the Canon G12.
So why then would I like to have it? Well I carry the Canon G12 every time I leave the house. The G12 is sort of big and with it in my pocket it looks like I am an old man with an implant device!
The Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS has a few options that would be nice. The one button record video button is one.
I would like to get a Blue Microphone Yeti USB microphone. I do not need it. I have the Blue Ball USB microphone now. I just want it.
Since my grandson is signed up with the Amazon Prime plan I can get the above items in two days with free shipping. All I need is the money.
All I need now is low electric bills or to win a lottery.
