Homesteading, Permaculture, Bitcoin, Freedom. All one or all none!

I must have had a zap that was stuck? I don't know... All I used the wallet for was one tap zapping. I may have forgotten to approve some zaps and that's why. I really don't know. One day I saw a channel close for 7k sats. Then a little later the whole balance was closed in another channel. Still waiting to see the sats show back up in the wallet. I'm assuming the transaction of the channel close is sitting in the mempool waiting to get confirmed. Otherwise, I lost most of my sats in the wallet. Not a big loss if so and was happy to participate in trying the wallet out. For now, I'm not going to load any more sats up and go back to zapping the old fashioned way...

What have you been looking at for your initial research? Some quick searches about it tell me I'm not using the right vocabulary to find the simple explanations of how to make a basic generator.

I was thinking I could power something with a rocket mass heater but I haven't done any research yet. I have no idea what the temperatures need to be. Do you think you could do something like put a ring of chips on a 400f metal plate and simply put a pot on top to boil water to cool them? Maybe the process of boiling maple sap to make syrup could also produce some power.

What's more private Twitter DMs or nostr DMs?

I've seen the camping gimmick ones that say you can charge your phone while you boil water.

Katahdin hair sheep eating trees, grazing strong pasture, and making above average gains

The sheep have now completed the upper pasture at the homestead in 21 days. About a week longer than average, due to eating tree prunings and ideal weather. Just before the leaves change in autumn, I cut the limbs of the trees growing on the edges of the paddocks as the sheep grazed through the pasture. This provides a great supplement to their nutrition extending the time it takes to graze a paddock and adding to the diversity to thier diet.

This is the 5th and final time we plan to graze these pastures this season so I'm letting the sheep graze each paddock a little harder than usual. The paddock on the left is an example of what it looks like after grazing and on the right is where they moved on to.

Getting the extra day or two out of each paddock by the combination of the tree leaves and the extended grazing leads to more rest for the next paddock. Doing so seemed to compound the growth of the pasture this season

with ideal weather leading to a whole extra week of grazing on this pasture.

During the routine check up and weigh-in for the flock we found the sheep in excellent health with only a few needing wormer. The average weight of the lambs was 76lbs up 5lbs above the average at the same time last year of 71lbs. While the growth slowed down a bit from the last weigh-in the lambs are still on track to finish larger than last year.

The leaves on the trees had started to fall in the last paddock of the pasture but the grass ended up getting almost 50 days of rest. The paddock still supported the sheep for an additional day than usual with the strength of the grass alone. Now the sheep have moved on to the last pasture before taking lambs to butcher and separating the ewes into their breeding groups. Just a couple more weeks!

We have a couple lambs left for sale, feel free to DM if you're interested in adding a lamb to your freezer this winter. I am delivering to Grand Rapids, Chicago, and Milwaukee.
