Love sunlight but in the winter there’s not enough here

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Or just ready to elevate your life?

Here's 8 simple yet powerful steps to transform your health, mindset, and connection to the world around you.

1) Connect Back to your Breath

We breathe about 20,000 times a day but hardly think about it. It’s important to learn how to not only learn breathe properly, but to follow a 10-15 minute morning breathing routine so you can start your day on the right track centered and grounded in your body.

2) Say Hi to Someone New Everyday

Life is about connections. The more quality connections we have the better. Often times the “smartest” guys are the most shy. This overthinking holds them back way more than they are capable of. Say hi to the man or woman you’re drawn to. Maybe something special will come of it. If they ignore you, you’re right back to where you started 1 minute ago. Laugh it off and try again when you feel called.

3) Get Daily Sunlight

Not only can the sun boost vitamin D, but it can improve mood, lower stress, and give you a sexy tan. Instead of eating your meals inside, eat outside. If you're just starting out, then do a few weeks of morning or evening sun when the UV is low.

4) Upgrade your Food

The story we tell ourselves that we are not worthy of the most nutritious food is one that holds us back in other areas of our life too. Your body is an engine so providing it the best nutrition is essential to developing into a higher version of yourself. Don’t tell yourself you aren’t worthy. You are.

5) Spend 1 Hour a Day on a New Project

You give 8 hours a day to your boss’s project, so why not give 1 hour a day to yours? This can be as simple as starting a running club in your local town, learning a new language, signing up for a yoga class, or building the product you wish existed but doesn’t.

6) Follow New Content Creators

As you begin your transformation, new content will become interesting to you and the old content you were consuming may feel like it’s holding you back. We all become what we consume so be ultra aware of what information you’re feeding your mind.

7) Go to a Retreat in a Foreign Country

Not only will you know nobody, but nobody will know you. This is the perfect environment for you to become a student, meet other like minded people, and get outside your comfort zone. Real growth happens when you push yourself just beyond your edge.

8) Trust Your Intuition

You yourself are stronger and more powerful than you think. You know yourself better than anyone on this planet. Tap in to your inner voice more to make big decisions - don’t outsource this to someone else. If you make a mistake, that’s okay. You can learn from it and do better next time.

Transformation starts with small steps.

Breathe, connect, grow, and trust yourself. Which step resonates with you the most?

The journey is yours to create.

Much love,

Just so the new folks don’t think there’s only one type of content here, I’m bringing back my basic sandwich photo series #foodstr 🤣 enjoy!

Trump should be placing a moratorium on all #mRNA platforms and ordering a postmortem so that the population will never be subject to illegal medical experimentation again.

I’ll take the second option!!! gladly 😂😂😂

I’ve heard people take issue with seed oils before (at a bitcoin meetup) what is the deal with seed oils?

#Foodstr

Welcome all new users! I see everyone's caught onto #introductions pretty quick, so here's a brief run down of nostr:

It’s social 💬 meets payments.

If your favorite social app had a child 🐣 with CashApp and the baby ate a magic shroom 🍄 to gain new superpowers... that’s Nostr in a nutshell.

What sort of superpowers?

Glad you asked! How about...

Zaps and the power of lightning! ⚡

Got a like? Nice. Got zapped for a comment? Cha-ching!

Send money for content you enjoy with a single click 🤯🥰

Love a meme? Zzzzappp! ⚡

Learned something new? You guessed it, zap! 🤯

It's love in both directions 💜Share something of value? Boom! You get zapped back. 🥹

You’re gonna luv it 🥰

Or stick to likes 💜 - that's cool. Payments are totally optional.

It’s not a single website or an app...

Say what now?

Yeah, it’s all of it. Every app made on Nostr just makes the protocol grow bigger and stronger. Like a raging hulk.

The apps can all talk to each other and can access the same content. Kinda like a bunch of strangers dipping their hands into the shared peanut 🥜 bowl.

Ok, maybe not THAT gross 😆

Nostr is like the new internet that connects any app on any platform as long as it’s compatible with some very simple requirements.

It’s powerful 🚀

When a new app plugs into the protocol, it automatically gains access to

ALL OF THE USERS.

Forget building an audience. It’s already there! 🔥

It’s an entrepreneur’s wet dream. Wait, am I allowed to say this? 😅

It’s not limited to Twitter clones.

Twitter is just one use case out of many.

Nostr is a giant mythical octopus with huge tentacles, each capable of crushing multi-billion-dollar industries.

🎤 Music, 💋 adult, 💻 creator economy are industries that are only the tip of the iceberg.

Just the tip.

There’s just one catch...

Nostr needs you!

Yes you, handsome developer ⌨️, designer 🖱️, memer, couch potato 🥔, YouTuber, influencer, instagrammer (is that a word?), progressive, conservative, libertarian, mom, dad, son, daughter, hero, villain ... ugh you get the point 🫂

Someone has to build the new empire.

... and enjoy the journey 😍

Will it be you?

Almost forgot to mention the boring stuff... censorship resistance, not controlled by any one company (open source), no emails to sign up, no overlords, no de-platforming, no shoving ads down your throat...

Some call it a paradigm shift, we just call it another day on Nostr 🤷

Oh, and we’ve got NIPs 😲

Nostr Implementation Possibilities

Git yer mind outta the gutter, fren! 🐸

That’s right, there’s more than one way to Nostr. In fact, the possibilities are only growing.

NIP at night, NIP during the day, we don’t care! NIPs are awesome any time of day 🥰

So, grab a client (app) and join the party! 🎉

There’s Damus for iOS, Amethyst for Android, Iris and Snort for web, and others too!

Keep in mind: we’re exploring a new frontier. Things can feel a little rough around the edges.

The round bale hay unroller is finally finished!

About 5 years ago I bought this used trailer, an old heavy duty generator trailer in a past life. We used it as a water trailer for our pastured chickens for a year or two until we put in underground pipes for water delivery. A few times the pipes and storage tanks ran dry we used it to move water in emergencies, but it's been under utilized the last couple years as we've learned and adapted.

Now that we are focusing on cows we exclusively buy and feed round bales of hay. So it felt like the perfect project to repurpose this trailer. The bale unroller trailers we saw ran about $4k including delivery fees. My welding skills are non-existent but she's done and ready to be tested. Even if I break some welds I am developing the skills necessary to perform repairs.

Step 1 was disassembling the upper body with the goal of reusing as much of this steel as needed.

Next came removing the steel bed plate. That thing was heavy. I bought a cheap plasma cutter for the job. The steel I salvaged is likely worth more than the plasma cutter. In the process of plasma cutting my air compressor decided to break--actually a $20 part broke and being that the compressor was multiple decades old fiat law determined this otherwise perfectly functioning piece of equipment was needing replaced. So that happened. After tons of work and rework the tractor separated the frame and plate.

The frame was too narrow to fit a hay bale so about a foot had to be added to the cross member of the frame.

I didn't capture any pictures of the actual stretching, cursing, and otherwise rockety science redneck engineeringish that went into the frame bending, but it was a thing. Not a thing of beauty, just a thing. It involved the tractor forks, 2 heavy street ratchet straps, a come along, and some sledging to get lined up-ish.

Probably my favorite weld on the entire build. The D ring was salvaged from my late uncle's garage/man cave and some pipe salvaged from old bar clamps that got new pipe recently.

The first time the upper cradle and frame came together it started to feel real. I was terrified I'd ruin the entire build at this point getting the hinges lined up right, but it went smooth and turned out okish.

Fabrication error. The upper arms need to sit over and slightly in front of the axle for optimal weight distribution when trailering. This was error two requiring cutting welds out and fixing things. I knew better, just excited to weld more. This error cost about 3 hours of labor. Mistakes with metal aren't like mistakes with wood. Fixes take much longer.

Wheels on for the first time and bale cradle complete! Another mistake discovered. Didn't leave adequate clearance for the wheels. There's about a sixteenth of an inch between wheel and frame... And that's with the rims flipped the wrong way. That's a permanent mistake. The fix will be the installation of hub spacers.

Final touches of the winch mount and bale spears and this thing is ready for action (spacers not installed yet). Build complete.

I just recorded a fascinating interview with world leaders in quantum biology Prof Geoffrey Guy & Prof Alastair Nunn of the Guy Foundation

We talked about how light & magnetism affects mitochondrial physiology

And the (disastrous) implications of space travel for mitochondria and human health

Cutting edge of science and medicine is happening at the level of protons, electrons and photons. This is quantum biology.

The upcoming ban of TikTok makes Nostr that much more important.

Free speech is being censored and crushed in the United States of America.

Other social media platforms are being banned in countries around the world. X is blocked in Pakistan.

The Internet for the entire country of Pakistan is being throttled to spur speech.

Nostr represents humanity’s best chance as preserving free speech at the protocol level.

And Primal is the best Nostr app I’ve used.

Great book
