Every morning when I open the wood stove, the cat jumps inside and tries to take a crap before I can get the fire lit.

When I bought our property, 12 years ago. It came with a 8' tall moose fence surrounding 5 acres. It was a mix of welded wire and woven wire fencing stapled to living trees. They occasionally installed a wooden post where needed. They ran three sawmill slabs horizontally between each tree or post. The welded wire has not held up. It rusts and breaks at the welds. The woven wire is very durable. I've felled trees on top of it, all you have to do is replace the slab and bend the wire back. Replacing or renailing slabs is an annual chore, but they're free, so it's a good trade off.

I love the convenience of Velcro shoes, I mean why knot?

You could have bought a whole pound of Folgers instead.

It's amazing how much heat a piece of metal that small can absorb. I often dremel or snip off components, so I just desolder the leads one at a time.

Stacking sats! Am I doing this right?

Anybody remember how awesome these purple light built were? I still have a 4 pack, that I'm saving for a rainy day.

I imagine that the idea of peaceful dissolution was unimaginable in Russia in 1989 too. As these $1T interest payments start to stack up, the gap between what the feds will allow and what they are capable of stopping is going to widen.

Grandma's German pancake id always a hit with the kids.

It was a very intentional word choice. They're referencing the compact theory of federalism (the federal government was created by the states) as opposed to the social contract theory of federalism (the federal government was created by the people).
