Good morning 🔥 A day off from the mail trail. Spent the last hour scrolling through Facebook and X. Something I usually don't do first thing in the morning. It never sets a good tone for the day. All I can say is that I am very thankful for this fire in front of me. A familiar 20 year ritual. And why I keep hearing influencers tell me to go outside and touch grass. Information without context is disorienting as hell. Off to reorient and focus on what matters. I hope you have a great day. #gm #coffeechain Morning Fire 161 3.22.26

"There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is the language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists." ~ Derrick Jensen, A Language Older Than Words (2000) Photo credit of raccoon track in mud: Daniel Hubatch #quotes #wildnature

I pick up a book that reminds me I have a soul. It's Rumi. I leave for the mail trail holding these lines: "What's unlucky is not to change and disappear. This way leads through humiliation and contempt." Here's to being born again . . . and again. Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 158 3.19.26 #gm #coffeechain #soul

From the mail trail: The Namekagon River in Earl, WI. The power of place. #rivers #wisconsin #countryliving

6 AM. GM Nostr🔥 Stacked Sats at 74 K this morning. This July it'll be 4 years. Hard to believe. Hoping for the day when I can walk away from my day job if I want to. Off to the mail trail. Hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 158 3.18.26 #gm #coffeechain

GM🔥 Back to the mail trail today. Cold out there . Just below zero. Looking forward to warmer days by the end of the week. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 157 3.17.26 #gm #coffeechain

We adopted a horse yesterday. It's for our daughter Sophia (13 yrs. old). She had her heart set on two, but could only have one. Leading up to adoption day she painted portraits of them, then donated them. It was a good day. 3.17.26 #horses #countryliving #daily

GM Nostr🔥 Stacked Sats at 73K this morning. George Bodine writes on X: ---- "The fiat hampster wheels drive your life. Puts you on a treadmill built around inflation and a system of money created by debt based credit creation. "Bitcoin let's you step off. To escape. "In a few years we will see endless stories of people moving to where they want to be, creating their own jobs doing purposeful work that has meaning. "And the headlines will include Bitcoin." ---- I hope so. I don't know if I will quit delivering mail, but I want it to be as easy as possible if I decide to. I hope others have this option, too. I also hope you have a great day. :-) Morning Fire 156 3.16.26 #gm #coffeechain

I have stepped out into the blizzard. Done snowing, just blowing. That might be all we get after the long blizzard build up.

Bitcoin’s been down for six months — it feels like forever. It hasn’t been fun, and we depend on it more than we’d like to admit. Conviction’s the only thing that’s carried us through. Without it, we probably would’ve walked away by now.

11:11AM. We finally open the curtains to let the blizzard in. Through blowing snow, chickadees being chickadees at the feeder in the bush—at ease, without a care in the world. Qualities for me to aspire to in these conditions. 3.15.26 Cup coaster handcrafted by Sophia (13 yrs. old) and Hayden (16 yrs. old). #proofofwork #soulfulsunday #birds #daily

Flowing water is sometimes a cause for pause on the mail trail. A reminder of the world outside of getting ahead. The one kids see better than we.

GM Nostr🔥. Snowing out there. The blizzard talked about for a week. That's out there. In here I sit in front of fire. Family and pets still asleep. No mail trail today. Tomorrow too. A day of moving snow though. Not right now though. This warmth from wood to be savoired this Sunday morning first. 🙏 I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 155 3.15.26 #gm #coffeechain

GM🔥 Off to the mail trail. Tomorrow two days off. Stacked at 70K. With future freedom in mind. Hope you have a great day. 🙏 Morning Fire 154 3.14.26 #gm #coffeechain

GM Nostr🔥 6:15 AM. Leaving fot the mail trail in 15 minutes. Fresh snow has fallen. The last I heard from Annie there was 4" on the ground. That was midnight. I haven't looked yet. It'll be what it'll be. I have 4 wheel drive and good snow tires. Stacked at 72K this morning. It's starting to go up. Doesn't matter. I buy some every morning no matter what. This morning it's with a bit more conviction though. I listened to Bram interview Checkmate last evening while working out. Checkmate has a way of dampening the noise I take in from other realms in the Bitcoin space.. Morning Fire 153 3.13.26 I hope you have a great day! #gm #coffeechain #bitcoin

On the way to work. Dusk. Sky clear. 15 degrees. Waning moon to my left. "Lucky Man" by Emerson Link and Palmer plays. Spring in the air. Soothing sixteen year old memories. A Tuesday photo of The Bean Brook from the mail trail. #gm #photography #soul

GM Nostr 🔥 I'm off to the mail trail in a few minutes. It's my hump day. Stacked Sats at 70K earlier. With the hope of getting my time back. Morning Fire 152 3.12.26
