Morning #Nostr Yesterday morning I finally got the answer to "wtf is this pain coming from?" after the xray at the dentist showed a large abscess under a tooth. I'm so happy to finally have an answer and to have the antibiotics to help reduce the volume of it and with it reduce the amount of pain my head is in. I spent my day trying to avert the pain and working with the #3dprinter. It was dark when I remembered to hook up the trailer for the grain run I've done this morning already. Spokane is MUCH nicer to move around at 5am when there is ZERO traffic and the stop lights are all nicely sensored. #homesteading #relief #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Fucking #abcess under my tooth is my issue and reason for the insane pain. Root canal next Thursday and for now the antibiotics will help kill the infection and reduce the pressure/pain. Really happy to FINALLY have an answer for the pain! #Dentist #OWWWW #awaitingrelief

Morning #Nostr My chiropractor is gloriously talented at adjsuting my skeleton. Yesterday I floated out of his office after an amazing session. I would be forever and ever and ever in the angel's debt that were to suddenly provide me with one of the Intermittent segmental traction tables that would all but eliminate my need to go to a chiro.... Just putting it out there to the universe. Power is now ready for the S19 if it ever gets here, got more wood split, cases printed for my #Meshtastic devices, and then I had the pain in my jaw return which I now have to deal with. #Homesteading #farmstr #selfcare #hive #peakd #dailyblog

I'm still recovering from the water line fiasco so yesterday was a much lighter work load day. Finished backfilling the immense hole and leveled it best I could. The new handle for the maul is quite nice and it is a serious benefit to have the beast back in action as it is really good at splitting. My truck heater blower was sounding like a cat being flayed alive and thankfully the new came in and was a very easy swap. I am sooooo looking forward to my chiro appointment today! #homesteading #diy #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Mornin #Nostr I got the water line fixed yesterday and thankfully it was a simple repair. Just the 90 and coupler with a stub of pipe between and it was back together. I had to do a bit of digging beneath the valve to ensure it would line up right but once together I was able to backfill the hole in. 5 hours to dig it and 20 minutes to fill it in... I've never liked the difference in time and effort level required but then I've never had a tractor to make the digging easy. #Homesteading #diy #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

AAACKKK!! AAACKK! ACK! ACK ACK ACK!!!! BEST! #MOVIE! EVER! Tim Burton is a genius. This movie had BILLIONS of dollars of actors... seriously look at the cast list and just know this movie didn't make the money that would normally entice this level of actor. They had to have done it for the script/point/goof? OMG this movie is so our world NOW! #MarsAttacks https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.B9lIvRmPJIYbZbAsPK_scgHaEL%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=cdc67d1070673add81e44e32dfa45a6620d94b5cb01a4471d65f9581e5c5b910&ipo=images

A much needed down day yesterday as it was raining all day then attempted to snow in the evening. It didn't leave much which will make my job today a bit easier not having to deal with the wet white. I have the antenna together for the #Meshtastic node but am having to tune it and maybe change out the ground plane lengths... Trying to get it in the 900MHz range. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Yesterday started out so nice and mellow. Then the shit hit the fan, or more so the water flooded the ground. 5 feet of digging, 5 hours, and I got the sheared off frost free removed and the water line capped. We have water in the house again but now I have to rebuild the line so I can get water to the coop and studio. My body is so sore and I'm not even halfway done with the project. #homesteading #diy #farming #emergency #hive #peakd #dailyblog

IT'S PLUGGED! 5 hours, 5 feet of digging, 4 interruptions, 3 beers, 2 muscle relaxers, 2 headlamps, and a worn the hell out body later and we have water again. I'll figure the rebuild out later, at least the house has water again. #homesteading #bullshit #sosore image

Fuck me this is some horse shit. Frostfree broke at the bottom as I was trying to fill animal waters. Now I am halfway to the bottom of the 5 foot deep hole I have to dig before I can fix it. My back is sore already and I have 2 hrs till dark. #homesteading #countryliving image

Morning #Nostr In my typical "late to the game" nature I popped my #Blender cherry yesterday and actually succeeded in very basic editing of an stl file that I then successfully printed out. I know it's basic but it's my first time so am rather stoked. After a productive appointment with my primary care I spent my afternoon swapping out the bindings on my #skis, going from downhill/touring to telemark. I've finally turned to the darkside and will be relearning how to drop knees in the coming weeks. #homesteading #diystr #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Mornin #Nostr "Oh gee, Bitcoin is up to my knee. Oh my, Bitcoin is up to my thigh..." Wen neck? I've got the #3dprinter running pretty much nonstop again now that it is repaired and am gathering a solid lineup of stuff to print. I'm far more into useful items over just toys or models and just about everywhere I turn on the farm I'm finding something else to add to the list. The wood rounds are now in the yard and ready for splitting but they seem to have taken on some water weight while sitting on the hillside. They were damned heavy to load and unload and likely will be a bit too tough for the boys to split. I still have lots to cut up and haul. #homesteading #diy #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

#NOSTR! I DID IT!!! I BUILT MY ANTENNA AND IT WORKS! First try, the thing is dead on at 145 MHz. 1.4:1 SWR and I am flabbergasted and insanely happy. The meters on my radio are all pegged now anytime a station is transmitting. It is night and day difference from the disc cone and I felt my grandfather's gentle nudging from beyond as I built it. Pour one out for W6WPG. MY #3dprinter LIVES!!!!! The head is replaced and it printed perfectly last night. It was a good day yesterday! #homesteading #hamradio #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Morning #Nostr I woke up to Akira yesterday morning. At least the solidified form of Akira and thankfully not nearly as devestating. My #3dprinter ate itself over night and lessons were learned. Now I know how the printer head comes apart. Rather stoked on how my antenna mount is coming together. I will have up to 70 degrees of elevation possible with the YAGI thugh that will have to be done by hand until I make a motor for it. The tower is my big problem now and how to get it mounted. The logs went for a ride down the hill and some got serious speed up before careening into the fence at the bottom. Today I need to stack them in the wall. #homesteading #diystr #hamradio #hive #peakd #dailyblog

So a thing happened to the printer last night. Got my nozzle out after some heat gun and snips work. I may work at it more but new one will be here tomorrow. #fail #3dprinting #DOHHHH image

Mornin #Nostr Cold mornings these days as Winter is setting in fully. Yesterday I got my ski wax vises put together and am anxious to give them a try, SUPER nice NOT paying $100 for a set and just printing them out. I'm mulling over how best to attach the #antenna tower to the chimney top as the masonry on the top likely wouldn't support anchors. I think the cinder blocks of the chimney might but that would require building a platform to attach down the chimney sides. It likely will be my best option as I can bolt the tower hinges to the metal platform... I'm really blown away by my new headlamp. It's so bright I could easily provide light for a climber on a wall while sitting at the base. $40 and the thing runs on 18650 cells which I have 100s of. The #3dprinter got the blob of death last night and wonked the thermisotor so today I have my work cut out for me cleaning it up. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Morning #Nostr Yesterday was a bit shitty as I got whatever ick the rest have had but thankfully it is waning already this morning thanks to big doses of NAC. I have the #YAGI #antenna built and tested a bit but still need to fiigure out how to fix the tower in place. We went out on teh farm later in the day and cut our #Christmas tree down and the boys quickly had it decorated. I printed the Tardis ornament then scaled it and printed one that is now the star on the tree. #homesteading #hamradio #diystr #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Well, the antenna is together and I tested it inside which gave me a reading within the 140 MHz range so I think I can tune this thing to hit 2m when mounted on the tower. I have a riser from an old dish tv mount that I am going ro use so I can aim the thing from the horizon to 70° vertical and then it will be on the rotator. This NanoVNA is pretty fucking cool now that I know what I am looking at. #hamradio #diy #antennadesign #stoked image
