Good morning Nostr We aren't always prepared for the next crazy thing the clown-show news cycle throws at us, but we can be reasonably well prepared for real-world, everyday life.

Saturday afternoon hammock point of view #grownostr #getoutside

I had a rare morning off work with nowhere I had to be until afternoon. As I sat on the porch thinking about what to do with my time, two calves came walking down the dirt road. I walked them back down the road where they went back through the hole in the fence they had escaped through. So my morning activity was decided. I loaded my tools on the fence repair trailer, and patched some barbed wire fence. #grownostr #proofofwork #farmstr

Picked up a whole beef from the processor. Now my freezers are filled to the brim. #grownostr #beef #farmstr #foodsovereignty #proofofwork

This was last night's project. I used an AI image generator plus a little GIMP plus a little MS Word Art to make fancy labels for my pipe tobacco jars. I might have a slight obsession for pipe tobacco blends with Tolkien inspired names. #grownostr #pipeandtobacco #tolkien #ai #artstr

Got the pond bank mowed, now ready for fishing and grilling. #grownostr #getoutside #proofofwork

Saturday afternoon leather project. Sheath for a Ka-Bar Becker Remora with an additional pocket for a pry tool. #grownostr #proofofwork #knifestr #edcstr #leather

Finished up a productive day Friday tends to be my wild card day. Any gig is on the table, and sometimes, like today, several gigs. Worked til 3 this afternoon at the woodshop job. Today we were installing hardwood flooring. Then a couple hours taking care of a yard I mow weekly. Then I had a call from a guy needing me to pick some landscape gravel, so I went by the farm supply, loaded a couple ton of rock in the trailer, and dumped it at the customer's house. Still had some daylight when I got home, so I strung up some electric fencing and moved the cows. #grownostr #proofofwork #beef #farmstr #getoutside

GM, Nostr. Make it a great day. #bitcoin #memestr

A good way to end the day, by the pond, touching grass, listening to the frogs, smoking a bowl of fine pipe tobacco. (Cornell and Diehl miskatonic mixture in a Calabresi Italian brier) #grownostr #getoutside #pipeandtobacco

Had kind of a rainy week, but May is here, and pastures are green. #grownostr #beef #getoutside #regenerative #ranching #farmstr

In other news, I'm going outside. I have poly-wire to roll up. #grownostr #getoutside #ranching #grazing

Good weekend to go outside. My pond is full again after last year's drought, and grass is growing. I hope it stays this green all year. Frost River haversack Ka-Bar Becker BK-10 #grownostr #getoutside #edcstr #knifestr

Morel season is here. Went out this weekend and ended up finding a couple dozen. Brought along a basic haversack kit including water, knife, possibles pouch, and cordage. #grownostr #knifestr #foodsovereignty
