Way to go Dan! I’m in 7A also. Yesterday I planted seeds for beets, carrots and radishes. The cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts starts have been hardening off for a few days and will go in Sunday afternoon. The weather calls for cloudy Monday with rain Tuesday. Perfect timing.

Are you going to get your lettuce in before the rain?

I offer to sell them their shitcoins at half price if they pay me in bitcoin. I’ve done that several times and no one has taken me up on my offer yet.

My kids ate souse vide egg bites all the time when they were younger. It’s a great way to get them used to preparing their own breakfast and “cooking.”

My wife would make a batch of egg bites and put them in the fridge. The kids would wake up, take the lid off, microwave for 30 seconds and spread it on toast while I enjoyed the first cup of coffee with the wife. Six year olds making their own homemade hot breakfast instead of pouring sugar cereal out of a box made me happy on so many levels.

Soft cheese such as farmers cheese or bree mix and mingle while cooking and reheated well. Gouda is a family favorite.

I heard somewhere that GBTCs parent company might be having financial difficulties. I haven’t done any research. Have you heard anything?

Hurry, they usually sell out by the end of March/beginning of April.

Funny thing, I also got trees from the rare plant store. I missed the delivery on Thursday and Friday. My little rural post office does not have Saturday pickup. So they sat in the packaging for almost a week before I could open them. There were little roots coming out all over the stem. Almost all the way up. Wherever there weren’t leaves popping the buds put out roots. So I planted them a little deeper.

Nick delivers some quality trees and they grow like weeds with minimal care.

One recommendation, more mulch, lots more. 4-6 inches deep. Weed competition is your biggest enemy the first year.

I read this. Then I read it again in the computerized Stephen Hawking voice.

My forecast was for rain today also. I was in the garden at 8PM last night planting beets, carrots and radishes. I had the best time.

I had a wonderful feeling this morning, sipping coffee as I watched the rain fall on a bare patch of dirt in anticipation of what’s to come.

I’m is zone 7, my last frost date is about a month before yours. What are you planting first?

What a whiny little bitch.

“I used to work for the state.” Sounds like you’ve only ever worked for the state. Also, remember, you volunteered and had the ability to say no to anything that wanted to do to you and leave at any time.

“I haven't worked in 2.5 years.” Why not? Start a business, get a side hustle. Is driving Uber or working at McDonald’s beneath you?

“They poisoned 19 out of 20 aisles of the grocery store for an autoimmune person like me.” They are poison for everyone.

Most people read this and say “poor Stirling” but all I see is complaints and no actions. What are you actually doing to change your fate besides making declarations on the internet?

I had a zoom meeting with Slim a while back. He’s the real deal. He genuinely believes in what he is saying and works hard to accomplish things.

His program to help small processors off the ground works and is worth the investment for anyone interested that business.

Well, since the BAR is a private trade organization that is interested in promoting the interests of its members (lawyers.) Not to promote justice or fairness under the law, this is probably a good idea. Most people don’t realize that their state BAR Association is a private company and not a government agency. It’s a racket where a private, unelected organization runs government interests. States need to develop their own criteria for obtaining a license to practice law.

Looks good Dan.

This ham is from a pig I raised. Yes, it is delicious and yes, I’m bragging 😎

Brined overnight in 2 gallons of water, 2 cups sea salt, 2tbsp of curing salt, 2 cups brown sugar, cloves and powdered mustard seed and apple cider vinegar.

Smoked at 250 for two hours with apple wood and finished in the oven to crisp things up.

Search “30 days of yoga” on YouTube. It will take you from complete novice to well into the beginner level. Kind of like a “couch to 5K” for Yoga. You can do it in your living room in front of the TV. It’s OK to repeat days until you feel comfortable.

I go through the program several times a year and I’m well into my 50s. I can touch my toes on demand :-)

Yes, TikTok style streaming would be great. However, from my observations so far, a lot of Instagram, TikTok, etc. users generally don’t do well on Nostr, There isn’t an algorithm pushing content into peoples feeds. There is no variable reward schedule to hook people and keep them addicted. Popular people and influencers don’t make a bunch of money on Nostr and the average consumer doesn’t get their dopamine hit.

Awesome! Way to go!

Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see how someone else does it. I do mine a little different. I built more robust tractors and let all the breeding and nursing going on in the tractor then I built grow out cages. Honestly, I haven’t had very many rabbits to eat personally. People have been buying them up before they get old enough to process.
