What a night.

I hope Mike Tyson bites both Jake Pauls ears off.

That sounds fun.

As we were coming into town, OUR town, after having been away for a week, my husband said he wanted to meet more of the locals, as WE are locals now.

Then we saw a neighbor outside before reaching our home, and pulled over and started chatting!

He followed us home to check out our solar system, and inevitably became our first house guest.

Now I feel compelled to get at least one set of guest kitchenware, as we couldn't even offer him water 😬😅

Having done vanlife for 2.5 years means we only have the bare minimum and never had guests over. Life has changed a lot in the last month!!

Motorhome, Trump for president, bitcoin hitting a ton of new all time highs, my greencard came in, I can work now, and we can have guests over, and who knows what else is in store! I'm excited 😀

I thought about it the last day, but never got phone out. I'll do better if we see them for Christmas, cause YES! I want memories to look back at.

One of the sweetest sounds is when a toddler screams "Hi" with a huge smile on their face when they see you.

I had the pleasure of interacting with two of my nieces this past week, and got kinda close to the 2 year old. when I heard her "Hi", my heart melted!!

Today is my birthday and also just so happened to be the day we welcomed our firstborn into the world.

Two weeks early, must’ve been last night’s full moon.

This was the most magical and amazing day. That’s all for now, #nostr 🥹

I was “crazy” when I first became a digital nomad, now my peers are doing the same.

I was “crazy” when I rejected the covid vax & fled mandates, now many normies regret their decisions.

I was crazy when I started saving in #bitcoin, now my friends are asking me all about it.

If they call you crazy, you’re doing it right.

Dogs offer loyalty

Cats offer affection

Women offer care

What do Men offer?

Good morning nostr 👑

Smell of gas/oil mixture is the best, I can huff those fumes all day 🤣

One awesome thing about these American Standards is that they can be used over coals, a propane BBQ or a propane burner if the grid is down, and because the lids and the top of the vessel are machined to such a fine tolerance, they have no seals that eventually harden up, crack and need to be replaced. And the fact that they maintain pressure with a shaker weight makes them super low tech. You know you have hit the sweet spot on temperature and pressure when you can adjust your temperature with the 10 or 15 psi weight on it, and it shakes one to four times every minute. Even if the gauge isn’t calibrated you know you’re good, and achieving 240°F.

I’m going to pull the trigger soon on the electric Nesco/Cary Pressure Canner, as it seems a lot simpler.

That's some good eats, right there. Looks delicious.

At one point, back in the 70’s there were around 250 snowmobiling manufacturers.

For quite some time now, there’s been only 4 left. Skidoo, Polaris, Yamaha & Arctic Cat.

Last year, Yamaha pulled the plug on its sled division. This year, Arctic Cat is pausing production by the sounds of it. I personally think they’re done.

It’s sad to see another manufacturer on the way out, but with low snow winters and only a few weeks to ride them in some areas, it’s hard to justify getting into the sport.

Entry level sleds for kids start at around $5k, then entry level for teenagers & adults start around $10k or so.

Then you get into $20k-$30k trail cruisers and hyper sleds.

When times get tough, the toys are always the first to go, and people are selling off their toys like crazy right now, and not even thinking about buying a new one.

Even with good rebates and incentives on new recreational and powersports products, a lot of people just aren’t buying.

Times are usually pretty good when people are spending money on recreational and powersports products, but when they start selling them all off, it’s a pretty good indication of the current times and the ones ahead.
