Powering Up, Multi-Token Claim, + Feet
I powered up a small chunk of Steem today.
It's not as much as I would like, but at least it's enough to where I can say "Hey, I didn't let the low market prices completely pass me by".
I feel pretty good about it.
It's odd how the lengthy power-down period gives me comfort. It removes any temptation to liquidate. Once it's powered-up, that's it. I'm in it for the long haul. That really simplifies things for me.
It's like a giant power switch that can't be easily turned off. Suddenly, I'm plugging in the TV, hooking up the WiFi, turning on the computer, and charging my phones. Pretty soon, I can't imagine life without the electricity that the power switch provides. Turn it off? Try to get a refund on the dollars I spent to turn it on? Heck, no! That's crazy talk!
If anything, I want MORE power! More! More! MORE!!!
Now and then, I'll hear someone reference a future where Steem holders can lease their Resource Credits.
Wow. Just wow. That would be insane.
You're telling me that someday I can get compensated for letting people charge their phone using the electricity that I'm essentially regenerating for free? Hmmmm. I suppose in that case, Steem Power is less like a switch on the wall and more like solar panels.
Every time I power up Steem, I'm adding another solar panel.
Future Steem sounds pretty cool.
By the way, I tried out the new CLAIM ALL REWARDS button over at:
https://steemworld.org
It's pretty awesome. Clicking the button will claim ALL the Tribe token rewards that have been accumulating on Steem Engine.
If you're obsessed with Tribes like I am, it should save you some time everyday.
Finally, the wife and I continue to budget and plan and count our pennies for SteemFest. Making this trip happen has proved a HUGE life hurdle. It's not cheap, and there's lots of logistics to work out. But we're not giving up hope. We feel the sacrifices we make will be worth it.
Part of planning for the trip involves our feet.
It's Thailand, so we're wondering how often we'll be expected to take off our shoes. I'm assuming that's to be expected in an Asian culture, right? Not only that, we need footwear that can be used for both hiking and relaxation. For land and sea. Lightweight would be good too. But durable with traction in case we want to go exploring.
That's when I discovered Sport Sandals. I didn't even know things like this existed. I'm not one to wear flip-flops very often. I'm definitely of the opinion that I should be ready to sprint. climb, and leap should I ever be confronted by a horde of the undead. This "always be prepared" motto led me to disregard anything sandal-related as silly and at least mildly suicidal.
But these bad boys might change my mind. Maybe I can have my cake and eat it too. I dunno. I might give them a try.

You can wear them in the water. The tread ensures a firm grip for both dry and wet terrain. And my toes aren't exposed to the eyes of strangers. That's right. Toes are weird. People shouldn't be looking at them.
So if anyone out there wants to rock Thailand in style, you can find these on Amazon for $30 at:

Sorry, ladies. I think that link is for the Mens sandals. But I'm sure they make them for women too.
If anyone has any experience wearing sports sandals, let me know. I'm curious!
It's time for home shopping with Nate! #powerup #steemon #bargainonamazon
Great idea!
Except we need a Steem Buyers Shopping Network where everything can be purchased with Steem or Steem Tokens!

That would be awesome! #cryptohomeshoppingnetwork
I can collect all of my Tribe token rewards at once?!? holy hell that's awesome. thanks of letting us know.
Good luck with the road to Steemfest. I know there is no way my wife and I could make. someday maybe if/when steem takes off again. :-)
Yeah, we’re using it as an excuse to have a travel adventure. Most trips are to a theme park, and we never venture out of the country.
This is definitely stepping out of our comfort zone (in a good way)!

A lot of interesting information I found here! And these sandals, they seem pretty aesthetically for their price! Like @contestkings said, "It's time for home shopping ":)
It is cool to have the option to claim all your tribes tokens out of the box in Steemworld.
It's definitely a good feeling to power up. With these low prices it goes much faster that it used to and it feels just good as you said it ;-)
The new option of claiming all coins tribes at once on stemmworld is a great option to me I must say
