Sometimes doing everything right still isn't enough. This week's show: • Our first cabin build mistake • The Coldcard security mess • Why our political class refuses to retire https://fountain.fm/episode/8pG4hOzaD4bj2Pg0eWux

GM Nostr. Day 10 of building that Nostr habit. Curating my feed with positive doers, makers and people putting out good vibes. Knocking back some medium light Brazilian today that is just fantastic. I might need to make some extra Weekly livestream went well this morning. Talked about solar field clearing, LogOx, flooring install, ColdCard, Blockstream, a second on geriatric leaders in this country. Will post link once it is up on Fountain.

GM Nostr. Day 9 of building that Nostr habit again. New bag of coffee today, the random pick was Medium Light Brazilian. Another wonderful roast. Yesterdays floor install did not go as planned. Ran into a few issues as we got started and spent the day figuring out fixes. Back at it early today and its gonna be a long one to hopefully finish up in time to return the floor roller I rented tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Make it a great day.

GM Nostr. Day 8 of building that Nostr habit. Slept in a bit this morning after a nice BBQ dinner and drinks with good friends last night. Brisket was fantastic as well as the company. Finishing off my bag of Light Ethiopian Yirgacheffe this morning. Always exciting to reach into the pile tomorrow and grab a new lb. My roaster only sends beans or blends I like so its always a winner. Headed out to work on gluing down our vinyl sheet flooring today in our cabin. We will see if it gets all done today or runs into tomorrow. At least I have the roller until Monday. Make it a great day.

GM Nostr. Day 7 checking and trying to build that habit of hitting Nostr before any other social apps. Sipping on my light Ethiopian Yirgacheffe while editing a video about clearing for our solar array. Headed a little later to rent a roller to install the sheet vinyl floor in our cabin this weekend. Excited for that next step forward. Make it a great day.

GM Nostr. Day 6 of trying to build the habit of hanging out with the folks of Nostr. Light Ethiopian Yirgacheffe in the cup and my wife has the day off. Slept in a little and heading for groceries and to Lowes in a bit. But currently diving down a rabbit hole around North Fox Island, Interlochen School for the Arts and Jeffery Epstein.......... Could Jeffery Epstein have been a victim of Frank Shelden when he attended Interlochen camp in 1967? Could that have set Epstein on his way to infamy? This is definitely on my research further list, but enough pedos for today. Make it a great day.

GM Nostr. Day 5 of building that habit again of hanging out here. Still working on my bag of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. I really love this bean, especially roasted light in an air roaster. Yesterday was wicked hot and humid here in TN, but I still got a bunch of outside work done. Supposed to be a few degrees cooler today so more solar array clearing. Make it a great day.

GM Nostr. Day 4 of building my habit of heading here. Sipping on a great cup of Light roasted Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and planning my day. Dog walks in a little bit then out to our property to sweat my ass off doing more clearing for our solar array. Its gonna be hot and nasty humid today. Better bring a couple extra gallons of water. Make it a great day.

Sitting at the laundromat and some guy just asked if he could give me the title to his truck for $22 to pay his electric bill.

If you've ever wondered what bounty hunting is actually like—not the TV version—my buddy Erik just released a book about his career. No reality show drama. Just the real stories, hard decisions, close calls, and what the job leaves behind after years of doing it. I've known Erik a long time, and if he wrote it, it'll be worth the read. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HBLLZTYY

Apparently sheep now need government approval to drink water. Also... • More LogOx testing • Election ad season • Why I'm changing the channel going forward Episode 898 is up. #OffGrid #Homestead https://fountain.fm/episode/70i1W8MD1SoKCnlDxjkP

GM Nostr. Day 3 of getting back into the Nostr habit. Sipping on a great cup of Light Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Foodforestfarms.com (code. LOTS10 saves ya 10% if you are interested in giving it a try) Knocked out Episode 898 of my Livestream/podcast this morning, will post the Fountain link when everything is uploaded. Chatted about jumping back on Nostr a little bit, the weekly cabin build update, my new LogOx Forestry tool, and a bunch of other stuff. Feeling like I will be hanging out around here more and more everyday. I forgot how great the Nostr vibe is when you start to dial in your feed. Make it a great day.

The off grid cabin we are building is all dried in. Currently working on the inside and also clearing for our solar array. We have a ton more work to do but have come so far since we started.

Day 2 of trying to rebuild my Nostr habit. Checking in with my morning coffee (Light Ethiopian from Food Forest Farms) plan to check in again later and dig for some folks to add to my feed. What non Bitcoin content are you following on Nostr?

Well my thumb decided to hit Amethyst by mistake. Maybe that is a sign I should check out Nostr again. Last time I popped in after a hiatus my feed wasnt worth sticking around. Going to do some more digging around today and see what's shaking. Maybe I should just post notes and not worry what's in my feed.

I want to test out the new Blockstream app functionality by selling some of our dog leashes for Lightning. We list these everywhere else for $75 + shipping. Lightning offer for $60 + shipping. Currently have one red, one blue and one black reflective. All of them also have a black reflective as the second color. Want a different color? Will do custom orders. This is our post about the leashes. Over the past few weeks Kori has been making paracord dog leashes, and they’ve turned out awesome. This started because we wanted something stronger and better than the cheap store leashes — especially for big dogs. These are handmade here in Tennessee and built to last. Each leash is: • 5 feet long for good control • Made from over 100 feet of 7-strand 550 paracord • Dual handle design – Standard handle – Traffic handle 3" from the clip for close control • Heavy-duty locking aluminum clip rated for 1100 lb static load • Washable and weather resistant They’ve been tested for years with giant breeds like St. Bernards and Great Danes, so they can handle some serious pulling. Right now we have a few color options ready: 🔴 Red / Black Reflective 🔵 Blue / Black Reflective ⚫ Black Reflective / Black Reflective We can also do custom color combinations by order. 💲 $75 + shipping If you want one: 📩 Send a DM or Comment and I will send you a DM If you have a dog (or know someone who does), please share this post. It really helps small handmade projects grow. #dogstr #grownostr
