Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you're well. The weather is beautiful (now) here in northern Ohio! The Weather Channel says it is currently 71 degrees with sunny skies. Our expected high temperate is 86. Humidity is 89%. The songbirds are singing, and I keep hearing my favorite bird - the robin - singing. They're not the prettiest bird, nor are they the best singer, but as far back as I can remember, I have always favored the robin. I find it fascinating that one bird's song can remind me of playing with worms as a boy, another bird reminds me of being at my grandparents' house in the summer, and still another takes me back to my favorite childhood home! Enough about birds... I'm going to go get breakfast now. I wish you a wonderful day (Today is "Hump Day"...It is all downhill from here! 😀 ) Have a great day, everybody! #coffeechain

Good night, NOSTR Friends. I hope your day was filled with good things and you finished the it’s on your list. I did some errands with my wife, and did an annual health interview with the health insurance company. The person in the other end of the call seemed so nice and so kind, but I am always slow to trust insurance companies of any stripe - I think I’ve heard too many negative stories about the industry. Well, the time has come for me to go to get ready for bed. My youngest wants me to sleep their bedroom, so I’ll go to sleep there until my wife wakes me to stagger to our room. Tomorrow’s weather looks pretty good, so I think I’m going to mow my yard. Sleep well, my friends!

Looking out my kitchen window here in northern Ohio, the skies are hazey. Our current temperature is: 74, and The Weather Channel says to expect high temperatures around 92 with a slight (15%) chance of afternoon thunderstorms. I’ll b in the basement today collecting information for the insurance company when we talk about my two freezers that were lost win our last thunderstorm storm. Have a great day, Friends! Work hard in the mines today - this is the last day of the workweek. Keep stacking those Sats!

A pic I took of tonight’s sunset. I hope you enjoy!

Good night, NOSTR Friends! I hope you sleep well. Tomorrow is Friday, so that (probably ) means it is the last day of your workweek. Yeah!!!

#asknostr Can anyone recommend a text-to-speech software that converts text to a natural-sounding computer voice? Or, do you know if ChatGPT does this? I want to create videos and add a voiceover, but am not a good speaker - lots of pauses, um’s, and uh’s. I want to script the text and upload it to ChatGPT or a website which will then create an mp3 file for me to download. Thank you for your advice and recommendations!!!

Good night, NOSTR Friends! I hope you sleep well. I didn’t do much of anything outside today. I mostly stayed inside near a fan - I do have my own fan club! (Sorry for the bad joke.) some of my summer 2025 goals are: - Learn how to take higher-quality photos & videos with my phone’s onboard cameras. - Learn how to write and script videos to showcase and sell items I want to sell on Marketplace - Learn to do public speaking for short duration on a given topic - Learn to use Corel VideoStudio to craft videos to upload to YouTube, or to promote items for sale on Marketplace. My biggest challenge will be the speaking/voice work. I’m considering seeing if AI can be taught to narrate my videos from a script. Well, good night, Friends! I hope you sleep well and wake refreshed in the morning - you’re on the downward slope of the week toward Friday and the weekend!

@Luke , I think I remember you posting about problems your pear tree is having. FWIW, my buddy has an apple tree and he is spraying it with a dilute of water & Thyme oil. He said it keeps the bugs off the apples & helps prevent fungus. He applies it every 2-3 weeks. Here’s the link he sent me: https://www.keystonepestsolutions.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1003&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=&scid=scplp1003&sc_intid=1003&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22295309641 I hope it helps!

#asknostr Question: Is it safe to buy a second-hand Raspberry Pi 4 (or 5) from eBay? They're not terribly expensive new, but if I can get one for less... I don't want any danger of malicious software/spyware installed and giving others access to my data... Additional info: I'll be replacing any Micro SD cards/storage devices that may come with it and performing clean installs of OS. Thank you for your insights!

Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you're well today. The Weather Channel says it is 84 degrees outside (feels like 93), with our expected high temperature being 86. We have sunny skies, and the birds are singing! I don't have much to say, so I'll wish you a beautiful, safe day and go to the kitchen to start making some coffee. Have a great day, everybody! #coffeechain

Good night, NOSTR Friends! I hope you sleep well & wake up refreshed in the morning. Today was a real scorcher in my area of the USA, so I sat outside in my chair with my computer & ChatGPT trying to learn some new skills while Hopi g to snag any wayward breezes. I’ll be headed to bed soon hoping the temperature drops, and the breeze picks up. Rest well, friends! Goodnight!

Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well. It will be another hot day here in northern Ohio. Our current temperature is 86, with our expected high reaching 95.the weather Channel says to expect sunny skies. I plan to sit either under a tree on the front porch today to escape the heat. I plan to use chat GPT to learn some things - I don’t know what the “things” are, but I’ll figure it out. Make today a great and productive day!

Good morning, NOSTR Friends! I hope you're well this morning. The weather forecast for today in northern Ohio seems to have been copied from the forecast for Hell. The Weather Channel says it is currently sunny and 87 (heat index is 97 now). They say that isn't hot enough, so our high temp sill be 96 humid degrees. I'll be in the basement today transferring food from our second dead freezer into our new freezer. One positive thing - last night I was able to tell my wife (truthfully) that we needed to eat the ice cream (because it started to melt)! Man did it feel good when she didn't give me "the look" when I said that! 😁 I hope you stay cool and do great things today! #coffeechain (Yes, any temp is good to drink coffee...)

Good night, NOSTR Friends! I hope your day was filled with good things and you sleep well. It was a long day for me. Not many things got done, but I consider the things I did to be good things. Our family celebrated a belated Father’s Day with my dad and my wife’s parents. Then I tilled my inlaws’ soil so they can plant their garden. And we rescued a small (5”) painted turtle that was crossing the road. (I thought it was only chickens that crossed the road…?) we moved her off the road and into the woods. I think it was the first time I’ve touched a turtle. Then, after we got home, I researched several questions related to furnaces in flooded basements, drying flooded basements, and replacing flooded/dead freezers. There’s more, but I won’t bore you. I hope you had a good and profitable day! I’ll see you in the morning! Goodnight!
