My Introductory Post to Steemit- Achievement1 @ gr8surplus
Good day steemians and thank you for taking the time to read my first steemit post.
Introduction
My name is Jim Johnson. ' gr8surplus' is a name i have used for many years. It came about when I ran a surplus business and online sales of various things I'd pick up at government auctions. I do still sell but not nearly as much as I used to, so the name is still in use.
I live in Washington State, USA.
I am 56 working in the construction trade for a living. I am single and live alone, though family is nearby.
Crypto Experience
My crypto experience is intermediate. I do own crypto currencies from Bitcoin to Dai to XRP and others. I begin with Bitcoin and my return and interest has grown from there.
Hobbies and Interests
I have many hobbies computers (both hardware and software…. Love to program!), electronics, amateur radio, coins and currency collecting. I am very intrigued with living off-grid, I know that sounds strange for someone who used technology so much but, intrigued just the same.
Why I joined Steemit
I found Steemit from a post on Facebook and honestly being able to earn a little crypto by using a social platform perked my interest. Having joined and reading some of the posts by other members I know I can learn a lot here and have an idea or two for additional communities but, that is after I become more familiar with steemit as a whole.
I do look forward to learning and contributing on Steemit.
Thank you again and have a wonderful day!

Thank you @ghostfacer99, though I will admit I am wondering if by chance I have missed something. I have noticed that there are others that have posted their Achievement1 posting after me that have already been 'verified', 95% or better of those posts that I see are "Achievement 1 verified / Newborn" or something similar but I see nothing like that on my account or posts.
So I wonder if I missed something even after re-reading the achievement assignment post by @cryptokannon, along with a few others that I see have not received such a verification either, some as long as 6 days. I guess it doesn't really matter as it isn't a requirement to use steemit and I can go post in communities that I am interested in and not worry about the achievements but, I wanted to give it all an honest shot and learn in the structured setting.
Just something I've noticed, but I can still learn about it all as I go along.
Thanks again!
