GM. I'm in front of Morning Fire 74. Daniel and Kelli (oldest son and wife) on the couch to the right of me. Everyone else still asleep. A lot of wrapped presents under the tree will be opened soon. A day from the mail trail. Back tomorrow, but no Amazon! Last evening I got home from work to see my two sons standing over a stretched out deer hide. It was fresh. Daniel just skinned the deer they found in the pasture dead. Presumably a car kill from the night before. It smelled bad, so they didn't cut any meat off it. Daniel will tan the hide. He called it a gift. I took a minute to stand with them. Looked up at the stars and the waxing moon in the southwestern sky, and said this heaven. Standing on snow, working with a wild animal, under stars and moon, while the rest of the family is in house in front of the fire is vision we have lived into. Yet, I know none of it is possible without the grace of God. I don't feel comfortable saying like this, yet it's what comes to mind. One God? Many gods? Both? Who knows? Something out there beyond our day to day planning and striving makes it possible though. And for that I am grateful. Merry Christmas 🎄 12.25.25 #plebchain #coffeechain #gm

GM🔥 It's 21 out there. When I went to bed it was 18. Warmed up during the night. I noticed the moon last evening on the mail route. It was a waxing sliver as we move away from New Moon. I'm off to the mail trail in a bit. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 73 12.24.25 #plebchain #coffeechain #gm

Is their anyway to change the zap default to any amount other than 42? #asknostr

I didn't know what to get my mom for Christmas. Then it hit me on the mail trail yesterday afternoon. Recently she mentioned that she wanted to learn more about the cause of inflation. My uncle and I talk about it around her often. Her mom, my grandma, lives with her. They're both on a fixed income. They're feeling the pinch of inflation at the grocery store and beyond. My mom and I started buying Bitcoin the summer after my dad passed away in January of '22. His pension went with him. Six months before that my grandpa passed. So things started to look scarce. I was just getting into Bitcoin. And one thing I learned was that the government could not inflate it away like our dollars. It seemed like a perfect fit for her. She took to to Bitcoin with ease. By now I have talked to enough people to see roadblocks arise for most people. Big enough to keep them from buying. Every Bitcoiner who I know has went through this. It's new, risky, and volatile. But Bitcoin keeps knocking. Michael Saylor, who knows a thing or two about Bitcoin, says people later in life tend to only adopt Bitcoin because they are unusually curious or desperate. Together we fit into both categories. So I pulled over on the shoulder of the icy town road, clicked on Amazon, and the rest is history. Our Bitcoin education will deepen with "The Big Print," by @Lawrence Lepard It should get here on Christmas Eve. I will deliver it. :-) #bigprint #bitcoinbooks #inflation #federalreserve #money

GM. It's 1 above. Happy Sunday and Winter Solstice! I'm in front of Morning Fire 70. Everyone still asleep. Although Annie will be up soon. The first of two days off from the mail trail. Every part of me wants to stay home, spend most of the day in the warm house with family, on the darkest day of the year. I worked close to 60 hours from dark to dark the past week delivering mail and Amazon packages. Tiring. A few days off to recharge for the homestretch will be nice. That's what's going on here . . . so far. The day's just getting started. :-) I hope you have a great day! 12.21.25

GM🔥 Fire now hot coals and closed off. Jeep running. An inch of snow to sweep off the steps. My fifth and final day of mail and package delivery. Then two days off. Then the final stretch of Holiday mail. Rumor has it we now have the day after Christmas off because of an executive order by the President. We'll see if they announce it today. Haven't heard anything on the floor yet Off to the mail. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 69. 12.20.25 #plebchain #coffeechain #GM

GM🔥 I stepped out at 5:30 AM. I put the warm ash bucket on the front deck. There were some glowing coals in it. A dusting of snow on the deck. While I was sitting meditation I heard a distance noise. Couldn't tell what it was. The refrigerator dying? What? Finally figured it out as it got closer. Snowplow blade scraping blacktop. On the mail route, at 4 PM yesterday, the wet blacktop turned slick with black ice. Seemed like it happened within minutes. A high school classmate messaged me yesterday. She said she's buying Bitcoin now. I was happy to hear it! The best way to learn about it, I think, is to buy a little, hold it, and watch it. It's volatile. Yet if you hold it long enough it's worth it financially and spiritually. I think the whole world will be using it someday. The money we use now is a dinosaur comparitively. That's it for now. It's just above zero out there. Time to start the mail jeep. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 68 12.19.25 #plebchain #coffeechain #GM

Dusk on The Mail Trail

Good morning🔥 It's 38 degrees out there. Above average temperatures. They're calling for rain, then freezing rain, snow, and a sudden drop in temp. today. Flash freezing. Could get interesting on the mail trail. My strategy when this happens: Go slower and be more careful. Simple. I don't want to die or kill anyone else. Morning Fire 66 Dec. 18, 2025 A day away from the New Moon Three days from Winter Solstice I hope you have a great day! #plebchain #coffeechain #GM
