Digihost Crypto Mining Facility in North Tonawanda

The Fortistar Natural Gas Peaking Power Plant Total Power has a nameplate capacity 55.3 MW and was mostly used for peak service during times of high electrical demand. Digihost bought earlier this year to turn into a Cryptomining Facility, that would run all of the time for crypto mining, only shutting down mining when electrical demand was high and the power capacity could be sold to the grid.

Travel more … 🏕️

I’ve decided if I am not going to buy a house right away — and my dreams of building a cabin are probably best to wait until retirement — I am going to focus more on travel in next few years. While I won’t say it will be spare no expense, I should also not be worried about pinching every penny or shaving every mile off trips.

People say I was nuts when I was Coney Island and wasn’t willing to pay $7 for an authentic Nathan’s Hot Dog from the beach. Maye I should have just gone for it, as who knows if I will ever be in Coney Island again. It’s great to save and invest in your future, I do think I should also have a bit of fun and not missing out on some great adventure along the way due to a $5 admission fee, when you’re 500 miles away from home.

If I am dreaming of moving out west, then I really should plan trips out west. Maybe next summer, especially if I end up replacing Big Red with something a bit more fuel efficent. Or gasp! Taking a plane and renting a car. I don’t want to go to tourist traps, I want open country, probably places that are relatively inexpensive and interesting to visit.
