Buddy bought a couple sets of these and gave me one. No practical use but fun to throw nonetheless #ninjastr

First good feed of snow peas. Wow these produce like crazy! #gardenstr

Take half a glass of water. Put 20 drops of food colouring in it. The water is the money supply. The dye is your purchasing power. Now add 100% more water to the glass. What happens? #bitcoin

My neighbour/shooting buddy shared a few around the fire last night. He remarked at how little of a dent his pay is making in bills and maintenance for the past couple years. He looked at me like I had two heads when I tried to explain to him what happens to peoples’ purchasing power when the government issues endless currency. Dude. Take half a glass of water. Put 20 drops of food colouring in it. The water is the money supply. The dye is your purchasing power. Now add 100% more water to the glass. What happens? We are fucking lost if people can’t even understand this. Or worse yet, if they think you’re a quack for saying it. Omfg

Great reminder. 👊🏽 View quoted note →

I wish I could import the entropy I am greeted by in my garden and in my yard, into my keys, after a week away at the fiat mine. There was a time when if a man worked this many hours it necessarily meant he was making enough money to hire these things out. I’m standing here and all I see is 200-300 hours of work to even get this place close to acceptable. I’ve got 12. I guess I better get busy. Play fiat games….win fiat prizes.

@Coinos are you down

Using a different wallet address temporarily while coinOS figures out their shit. Can someone try zapping this note please? Thanks 🙏🏽

Is @coinos down?

GM! House is still empty. Stereo back on 11. I fell asleep last night with this on repeat in my earbuds, and forgot to set my sleep timer to turn it off after a time. This super technical (and beautiful) guitar instrumental played continuously in my ears for 6 hours. I woke up this morning to discover that I know kung fu.

The Andromeda Galaxy. More than 300 billion stars in a spot in the sky smaller than your pinky fingernail on an outstretched hand. Our nearest large galactic neighbour.

Empty house tonight. This is on 11 right now. Starry night by the fire ahead, with a belly full of steak, a J and a beer.

Couldn’t be more proud of my daughter today. She just finished her two year registered veterinary tech program . Last Friday she wrapped up her six week practicum at a local clinic 40 minutes away. Even that in itself was a blessing because instead of living away from home for six weeks on no pay, she was able to do her practicum locally and just make the drive daily. The owner of the clinic happened to be one of my longest repeat customers who I’ve had nothing but great dealings with over the years.  I put a bug in her ear all the way back last October when I did a job for her at their ranch, that my daughter would be looking for a practicum opportunity.  Today, after two rounds of interviews, she just landed a spot as an RVT at a clinic only five minutes from our house! The biggest domestic and farm clinic in our community. It’s hard to believe that throughout the two-year program, she wanted to quit so many times, and ended up saving herself from failing out of the program with a rewrite following her bike accident in the spring. It’s only been by hard work, faith and my wife’s constant encouragement while I’ve been largely working that she made it, and got bursaries and scholarships that paid for nearly half of the program based on my wife applying for them with her. So good to see a young person achieve some early success rather than immediate heartbreak upon leaving school. God is good.  #grownostr
