Gn nostr. Really tired, for no discernable reason.

Gm. All is well.

Gn nostr. Gn.

Today at Safeway (local supermarket), bought about 25 pounds of beef, spent about $120. By that rounding, $4.80/lb. Actual average/lb, $4.65. That is more than I should eat in a week, probably by half (I estimate closer to 2 lb/day), but at that price, it was worth filling the freezer a little more. That was entirely london broil and chuck roast, which is now all sliced up into roughly 1" steaks. Not my favorite cuts, but will get me through to my half-cow that should be here in a few weeks. Second freezer is being delivered tomorrow. Half-cow was purchased for $5.50/lb hanging weight, with processing and kill fee included. I paid just under $2,000 for about 350 lbs. I estimate I will actually get about 230 lbs of processed meat out of that, so will have paid an average of $8.50/lb, although I am asking for all the organ meats, fat trimmings, soup bones, tripe, etc. that the processor can throw in - and this beef should be far superior to what I am getting at the supermarket for cheap. #carnivore

GA. Back from a weekend ride/camping trip that took me to Port Angeles (northwestern tip of continental USA) and across the Tacoma Narrows bridge, among other places. All good weather. Did it while fasting, nothing but water since Friday afternoon (broke it a little while ago, so 42 hours). Good energy, lots of touching grass and being out in the (somewhat hazy because of wildfire smoke) sun.

Gm Reply Guy. Busy day ahead, probably thr same for you, fren.

Gn nostr. My mind is far busier than it needs to be. 💤🛌

Gm. Today we prepare. Tomorrow we ride.

Gn. Today I used my last coffee pod. I'm not saying I will never have caffeine again, but I do intend on taking a break for a while, and only having it occasionally instead of daily.

Gn. I ate a fucking tomahawk ribeye for dinner. First time I've cooked meat on a barbecue grill in quite some time. Worked great, seared, then indirect heat for a while to finish it. Got it for cheep at walmart. Steal of the weekend!

Today's breakfast bowl same as yesterday (eggs, bacon, cheese), but added some beef liver. Good stuff!

1. Recognize and detect manipulation and coercion. 2. Become ungovernable.

Gm nostr. Trying to remain optimistic, but today might be a rough one. I'll go with this - I will be able to get through whatever this day brings.

Gn. Had a good day today. It's late. I should sleep. 🛌💤

Planning out a western states motorcycle tour for early October. Starting in Washington, will go through Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming on the way to Pueblo Colorado to see my sister. From there, looking at making my way back through New Mexico and Arizona to stop by a friend's house outside Las Vegas Nevada, then come back through Oregon to Washington. I don't think I hit Montana or California on this route, but I've already been to Montana this summer, and I can do without setting foot (or tires) in the People's Republic. The trip will take 9 days, with two full days in Pueblo. Roughly 500 miles per day of riding, maybe a little less some days, but with lots of opportunities to push further if I want to, or take an easy day. I have at least an extra day as contingency in case something goes sideways, and can easily abort the Vegas way back and just go back the way I came to Pueblo, saving a full day at least. I've done 750+ miles in a day, but probably won't on this trip. There's still plenty of time for making changes. I'll stay in motels, but I'm not making any reservations, just in case things change. If there is truly no vacancy somewhere, I'll just ride on until I find it. I'm taking a laptop because I need to at least check in with work and handle some quoting that I can't ignore for a week, and I'll be checking in here.

Today's achievement - conversion from throttle body injected to carbureted, new cam, headers, complete rewire, etc. Fought a bad coil and a fuel switching unit or it would have been running weeks ago. Today, it runs. This is from cam break-in.

A little early breakfast. Bacon and egg bowl. #carnivorr #coffeechain

Gm. Switched to always-on VPN on my mobile device, in solidarity with Brazil. Or really, just to see what it would break. Going surprisingly well so far.

Gn nostr. About time for a new pfp, ffs.

Time to try out some new Android clients and PWAs that will run in Kiwi with nos2x, use Amber, or nsecbunker. Bonus if it can easily support more than one npub.
