I am belatedly powering up for SPUD. As spud5 landed in the middle of a long weekend, and us hosers take our summer long weekends seriously, I was off the grid. Turns out the grid had problems anyhow with the hard fork but I barely noticed.
SPUD stands for STEEM Power Up Day and is a movement spearheaded by a dynamic leader known as @streetstyle (suggestion: follow and engage with him!) You can find the details on the movement and contests here https://steemit.com/spud/@streetstyle/earth-wind-fire-and-water-combine-to-make-the-fifth-spud-steem-blockchain In essence, the active and progressive folks on the STEEM blockchain are rallying together to earn/buy cheap steem, and all powered it up to lock in our stake on Sept 1st. 'Cept me.....I am a little late.
I took the family to a nice cottage and music festival in paradise and spent all spud day enjoying the out doors, too many beers, and playing a little Beegees with the boys.
Anyhow! I did it
We covered a lot of miles, had a lot of laughs and played a lot of tunes. Then, I had to play a little catch up today with the businesses. Then I spudded. Dolphin here I come slowly!!
