No price action. No mempool flood and fee market chaos. Bitcoin truly is a financialized Wall Street coin. Giants moving transactions when they need, holding to protect from debasement. And us little mice here on nostr hoping to catch the crumbs. That’s precisely how it is playing out and it won’t change for a long time.

TSC is selling chicks for a buck. #dadstr #kids #4h

In response to me explaining what Maundy means, “Mandate”. “Well Jesus was kind of on a man date on Maundy Thursday, bunch of guys sitting around together drinking wine” - well played eldest kid, well played

I’m ready for Upril before Downgust

I had my Claude bot create a web app for tracking Easter eggs. Take picture and track gps coordinates. It was basically one-shot and I tracked 40 eggs across 5 acres for the kids. Looks like I’ll be doing more of this. That worked out too well!

When the church asks you to preach one Lenten Wednesday on one of the petitions in the Lords Prayer, you should say yes and help your pastor out. It’s a wildly busy season for him and an honor to be counted among those who can teach.

5th kid is almost a year old. It has become increasingly clear that I have been severely limited in my career and money situation by the number of kids I have. I have had a baby in diapers for 10 years. I could have stayed in the Bay Area and played the game. But I moved to the middle of nowhere with no neighbors to control my territory and raise a clan. Before long on this quest that started in earnest10 years ago, Christ found me. And now I see that if I should I have a sixth I would be more wealthy, and in fact already am. Not just in terms of right now which I am due to my daily time with my children, but also in the future 15-25 years from now. If God’s grace continues and allows me to see this mission through. The love of this family compounds unlike anything I have seen of wealth otherwise.

Having “the conversation” with our oldest two daughters tonight. Oldest is mostly pissed off that our last baby wasn’t just a random gift from God. Yes dear there is a human initiative. I’m grateful we didn’t wait another month.

Go to the creek with your family

My wife was still on free ChatGPT until today, just asking about an old friend in Minnesota and it tried to hedge random unrelated crap about the events in Minneapolis today. They clearly have to pre-prompt wacky stuff to manage the onslaught of internet sleuthing during things like this. Anyway I got her set up on Routstr and topped it off instantly with my LN node via Zeus. Now she can ask anything uncensored and free. It makes perfect sense that the first thing I will regularly pay for in sats is uncensored intelligence.

Pray your longest prayer of the day when putting the littles to sleep. Take as long as you need. They’ll go to sleep in the best of way. Your list will grow and grow. You do maintain a list right? And you will come to cherish this time more than any. Someday it will be gone but the greatest habit will be indelibly seared onto your soul.

I took a break to sleep train my 7 month old three times in the last 3 months. He might be our last. I can’t deny my wife that bittersweet joy.

Pacifier’s are an anti pattern. Give them to less than one year olds for something to do. Never use them as long term comfort. Pull that shit out of your 2+ year old it is destroying their jaw, teeth, and speech.

The Avalon Q was worth every sat. Home is heated entirely by firewood and miners now. Even turned a 3 season sunroom into 4, now my office.

As a Christian, I am called to share my wealth with neighbors in need. She’s running the local 4-H meeting today while I’m at home with the youngest two. Truly the jewel of my crown. (Proverbs 12:4) #dadstr How has your wife brought Christ and you glory today?
