Well, I failed on day 48 of my no booze for 90 days goal. When my wife and I got married it was pretty low key, got married at the courthouse and had dinner at this little restaurant on the edge of the town we live in. Found out the place was closing down the other night so we went one last time. Decided having a drink with my wife, my ultimate ride or die, in that moment was worth the failure. Still finishing out the 90 days but the streak is over

Finally had some extra money to buy a used forklift for my shop so I didn’t have to borrow my neighbors all the time. Within 30 minutes of use it blew the head gasket, the fun never ends running a small business. #fuckmylifestr

A couple years ago my truck was stolen out of my driveway in the middle of the night. My neighbor was convinced it was somebody I knew. He asked me “who do you know that fancies themself a pimp?”. Got my truck back two weeks later, turns out some local junkie took it and was just driving around the same small town he stole it in. I’ll never forget that line from my neighbor though
Anybody else have the same work utensil that’s just been licked clean and thrown back in a drawer for like the past 7 years? #asknostr image
Hear a lot of talk about driving a vehicle older than Bitcoin so let’s see who’s walking the walk. Post up those beaters #nostrwips I’ll start with my luxurious 1990 Toyota pickup. Even got that #proofofwork in there with an engine rebuild 40k miles ago. I’ll ride or die in this bitch, taking her to the grave 🤘 #diy#grownostr
Here's a pic of my current match rifle and a video of my setup from chambering/threading the barrel. It's a Lone Peak Fuzion bolt action (Remington 700 clone) chambered in 6mm Creedmoor sitting in an MPA chassis. I did the machine work on a manual lathe that's easily 20 years older than me that's still dead nuts accurate, I was born in 84'. A testament to the level of quality that we once strived for. image #grownostr #gunstr #diy
Yo nostr, doing the #introductions thing. This is my intro to social media, it all seemed like a time vacuum so I avoided it altogether but the integration of Bitcoin and the v4v concept got me interested. Aside from the coin I'm into the standard things, eating steaks, freedom, spreading misinformation. I also do hobby gunsmithing and build my own custom bolt action rifles for competitive long range shooting. I've worked in machine shops my entire adult life, primarily for the aerospace/defense industry unfortunately. It didn't bother me at first, figured supporting the military was a good enough cause but after finding Bitcoin I obviously began to see it in a different light. Fortunately, Bitcoin has given me the financial freedom to start my own machine shop and my goal is to never put my hands on another Raytheon, Northrup Grumman, Lockheed or Boeing part again. I always hear the phrase "We don't build things in America anymore", we absolutely do but the manufacturing base has been captured by the military industrial complex. The exact same part made for the private sector will easily cost 10X once government money is involved, it's no wonder most shops are fighting for those contracts while the rest of the work goes overseas and produced at shit quality. Well, I'm at least gonna do my part to bring quality American manufacturing back to the private sector. Feel free to reach out if you or anyone you know could benefit from my services, will work for sats of course! Looking forward to interacting and growing with the nostr network. #grownostr
