GM Nostr friends!
Happy Halloween (and Dia de los Muertos Eve to those who celebrate)! And a very happy Bitcoin Whitepaper Day to all y'all. We wouldn't be here without it.
We're not planning on doing much tonight. There are/were some bad actor kids in our neighborhood who stole my (retro!) pumpkin basket which was still half full last year, so I have no interest in providing free sugar to the little felons.
Instead our friend is coming over for dinner and to watch a few episodes of Resident Alien with us. Should be a good time. I'm looking forward to it.
Everyone else hand out candy? Am I just a curmudgeon?
I found out last night why Hubby was freaking out over selling some of his silver coins. He was an absolute spaz about it during the day yesterday, and I found out last night (because he's terrible at keeping secrets) that he did the trade in so he could buy me a real Umbrel home server. Love him so much. I was so excited - my current setup is less than stellar, and I've quickly come to rely on it, but generally have to restart every morning as things seem to freeze.
So excited for that to come. What a sweet thing for him to do. I am trying to encourage him to use the rest of the money from the silver sale to get a decent ice fishing rig together using his existing trailer. We'll see.
Anyway, this turned out way longer than I planned. Happy Friday all!

Happy Nostrween!
I couldn't give less of a hoot about this holiday, and haven't ever handed out candy since it has no place in my home or life in the first place. On the plus side, in over 20 years, I also haven't lived where there are any trick-or-treaters, anyway. My mom and dad were big on all the holidays, and for this one in particular, would do it up big for the neighborhood kids, guess I just sick of it 🙃
Happy about your server. I liked ice fishing outings the two times I did it! Both times were in Brainerd!
Pokemon cards is a great idea! They would definitely go fast. I really do like the trunk or treat gatherings that places do - it lets parents keep a better eye on their kids.
Brainerd would probably be awesome ice fishing, with Gull Lake and all the little adjoining ones. My dad used to take me out on Bald Eagle Lake in White Bear when I was younger a few times - not that I loved it, but I enjoyed the time with him.
I enjoy the fun, but I don't bother with decor or anything anymore. Discount candy tomorrow is when I celebrate!
Oh, that's a good one. I'm definitely stealing that!
Yeah, the actual fishing is boring, but there was always fun to be had. One time it was without a tent, and the other, my friends had a tent and a space heater
Definitely boring. I don't understand the joy they get from it, but if it's what makes 'em happy, go have fun. Preferably with a tent and a properly vented space heater!
