listening to #TSP episode 3473 fr9m @JackSpirko this morning just reminds me of all the opportunities I've chose to miss over the years. knew bitcoin was a good fit for Austrian economics when it was somewhere between $1-$225/BTC... Stayed away because of skepticism and excuses. Knew that Sepp's trip to Montana was coming and an amazing opportunity, made excuses why I couldn't afford it(to be fair I was like 16 or 17 making 10 but an hour) and instead of fundraising and begging and borrowing to make the short drive from Cheyenne, I stayed home and wasted money on being a dumb kid. not sure what action it will spur me into in the future, but today, I'm feeling #fedupwithfailure maybe I should look at Zach's website in earnest one of these days...

after seeing some pseudoscopions in a bedding pile the other day and recalling that some have looked at psuedoscorpions for mite control, it led me back to this little thread of thinking: what if we designed a beehive that included natural predators for varroa mite? perhaps a thick walled hive with a conical bottom in which we might have wood duff or coco coir to house earwigs and pseudos, a screened bottom above it where the entrance would be located, the top matching up to langstroth dimensions for supers. sort of recreating the ecosystem of a guano pile for Bat's. I'm not part of the produce less honey crowd but rather aim for less inputs for better quality honey, improving value and therefore profit margins. #justathought #bees #Beestr #varroa #honey

got a little sidework done for a client yesterday morning, connection on a soldered copper line was leaking pretty bad under the water heater, ID problem, cut out bad section, replace with sharkbite fittings and pex, quick job done. #sidework #grownostr #plumbingsucks #getshitdone

moving some compost and compost ingredients around today and looking at #macrofauna and #soillife forgive the horrid photography with my subpar phone some kind of worm and what I am guessing is either a mite scorpion or a very young wind scorpion, 10x zoom for each #grownostr #compost

I like simplicity and the utilization of the screen, I see a lot of similarities to the system I hope to develop here
