Why does it feel like in just a few years every single source of centralization and tyranny accross all walks of life started moving against Freedom in unison? Am I going insane?

This is the most satisfying $12 I have ever made. This was my profit from the last farmers market where my kale and Swiss Chard were sold. Half sold. Today, I have a few more items in the market. Starting something from seed and seeing it all the way through to making money is awesome! 🌱🌻💲

Good morning, nostriches.

Skateboarding is such a rad sport. Utilizing various concrete landscapes, to the chagrin of architects and designers, around the globe.

In February 1963 a pair of nudists bought the place and transformed a cactus garden into the Desert Gardens Ranch. Secreted away in the San Jacinto Mountains, just outside Desert Hot Springs, it offered people a secluded and year-round sunny haven to run around naked. The ranch was active until the late 70s and was shuttered down around 1980.

In 1984 a group of skaters discovered the spot that consisted of an abandoned kidney-shaped pool, thanks to a local who had found the bowl and talked to a neighbor who skated and told him to go check it out. Back in those days skaters had to jump fences to skate abandoned and dry pools. So it didn't take long before the word spread there was a bowl you could skate and party without being afraid of getting chased away. Visitors had to travel through the desert to reach the spot and it was a bit of mission to get there. Basically it was a place where you could skate, camp, party, shoot beer cans, get drunk and do whatever you want. The only thing you had to worry about were snakes, scorpions and tarantulas.

The Nude bowl was a "secret" spot until Santa Cruz released "Wheels of Fire" with Tony Alva and Rick Spidey in 1987 ripping up the bowl. That's when the scene blew up and the nude bowl turned into a Mecca for skaters. Throughout the next years the nude bowl started appearing in magazines and videos, and unfortunately by the 90s, large parties and violence became pretty "normal" here. The nude bowl had turned into the perfect setting for out of control parties, drugs, nude skating, fighting, biker hangouts, you name it. Basically it was one massive fight club in the desert. After numerous complaints about guns, fires and fights, the police filled the bowl with dirt to avoid further problems. A couple of years later two skaters Jeremiah Risk and Rodney Rodrigues spent nights digging up the dirt with bulldozers and repaired the bowl. After a few months, the police broke up the concrete and buried the remains of the bowl again.

Then around 2014 Nude bowl images started surfacing again on the internet. The pool has been dug up again, repaired and is now intact.

To that point, who remebers that HBO is a shortening of "home box office"? I look forward to the next 30 years where all we have is one letter businesses. " I went down to W to buy some F and H"

No more water bottles rolling around the van!

I looked for cup holders online for way too long and ended up custom making something for the main bottles we use since everything was junk.

Our 4 year old son did all of the measurements since he wouldn’t give me the tape measure back 😂

Bonus pic- my wife just brought me a fresh bowl of chocolate gelato!

We've been working on a new project for some different friends from church. They had hired a different electrician and he just stopped showing up about a year ago so my husband stepped in to help them get their project completed. This is how he found the subpanel and how he finished it.

The original electrician also created too many circuts for the subpanel he installed. My husband corrected the issue by using some special breakers that are designed for this kind of issue, saving our friends from having to purchase another subpanel.

When the universe is telling you it's a good time to finally read this book

You can't throw a big bottle of sanitizer in front and continue on next time? Keep up the good work

Way to Follow Communities?

Is there a way to follow/join/subscribe to communities?

How nice would it be if Nostr caught on?

It needs to be adopted in circles outside of Bitcoin, and even outside of cryptocurrency.

All alternative social media platforms are plagued by being centered around one thing, the one thing that spawned them (politics, bitcoin, free speech, etc). Because of this no one outside of those circles is interested in using the platform.

How does nostr bread this mold?

Its back up! You can see my response in the first reply I got earlier. Anyway, I am curious about the mini splits when we do have to replace the whole thing. Do people install them for a whole house?

My wife has been asking for shelves and/or a cabinet above the washer for years. Finally putting something together for her..

It’s makeshift but functional and completely from free repurposed materials.

The t&g cedar sat at a buddy’s worksite dumpster for months before I finally scooped it all up.

God bless planers, one of the best tools humans ever created
