I set up my first eBay auction today. I will be rolling in the dough shortly.

The last adventure of purchasing an item on eBay led to me being burned. I won what I bid on, at an elevated price, and once received I choked on actually using the item.

There were no bidders but me on the item for four days until the last thirty minutes or so and then there was a fury of activity as I saw my bid go higher and higher.

I was suspicious of some kind of fraud.

Anyway that item will be my second item to put on eBay.

Thursday

The Sudoku fall like leaves from the tree.
XXXIX finished.

Sunday

I killed Sudoku number XXXII with great ease and no regrets.

My Excel Sudoku Whacker seems to have gained more knowledge than I built into it.

I recognized the Classic [1,5,8];[5,8];[5,8] situation in a big-block, not just in a row, and then recognized a double layer of the same situation of the in another big block.

I filled in the "1" at the first situation, and the puzzle collapsed like a deck of cards.

I also started reducing some of the background color tricks, and it made reading the puzzle easier.

Wednesday

I solved Sudoku number XXXI using my Excel Sudoku Puzzle Master Whacker. This was a level 5 difficulty. I am the master!

Yeehaw!
