The gardens got torn down yesterday and glad I did as it is 25F this morning. I have finally dialed into the timing as prior years I didn't get winterization done in time. The ground has to be exposed for Spring thaw to happen correctly, I've learned the hard way.
50 pounds of celery is in the cooler and I found them to be on the smaller side since I didn't thin the seedlings. Lesson learned and next year I will make sure to have just one plant per spot.

ethernet hubs that all wired devices connect to. This is one I got that is working just fine.

We have had Starlink for about a year and it has been almost perfect. We have trees blocking some of the sky so we get some hiccups but the speed is overall great. You will want to have switches if you want a lot of wired devices connected though.
The paste seems to have cured clear, no sign of it on image.
Foraged wild blueberries don't have the daily water to plump the berries like farms do. Hence the higher flavor in wild over farmed. Same as strawberries.
We got a nice bit of much needed rain which stopped by morning yesterday. As I pulled tomato plants and weeds in the greenhouse one of the pepper plants came loose so I potted it up and it is looking great this morning in the house.
133 pounds of potatoes dug from 4 rows over the day. It makes 215 pounds of the late spuds and I have a couple short rows still to dig. I'm only at 902 pounds for the year and not likely to hit my 1000 lb goal, but lessons learned so next year will be better.

I saw someone somewhere talk about mining XEC and figured I'd give it a shot since there is far fewer miners in the network. I went with Solopool and I was right to try. In those 6 days I would have made about 7000 sats on the Braiins pool, now i can buy far more than that with the $65 block reward.
I wish I didn't need it but my flying/gliding club is on it.
BEST Telegram notification I've gotten in years! My S9 found my first #eCash block in only 6 days at about 16 TH/s! 10X reward than what it did on Braiins over 6 days.

Crunch time has arrived. The rain hit last night so yesterday I had a ton to get done. The lumber logs are all stacked and covered, rounds under the wood cover, shed roof covered, tools put away, lots of misc things found their homes, then I dug 82 pounds of potatoes from 2.3 rows. I still have 6 rows to dig which should put me over 1000 lbs of spuds this year.

I am SO SORE after the lumber and firewood cutting trip yesterday. It took 2 hrs drive each way, an hour and a half of cutting, and an hour and a half loading but I have a full load of 12+ foot logs for lumber and a full tree in rounds to cure for firewood.
Hardest drive I can remember in years as the trailer was way too tail heavy so I was fighting it fishtailing the whole drive home. 55mph max was all it could handle and I know there was some pissed off people who had to go around me on the highway.

I think I have enough pine needles to cover the garlic garden this year. After raking the old road and some of the hillside I had almost too much for the truck and trailer. Last year I just filled the truck bed but with 4 times as much garlic I'll be growing htis year I need the extra. Rain is inbound so I wanted it all gathered prior, save my back some abuse without the water weight to lift.
Was going to go get lumber wood tomorrow but it will be raining in the mountains so I am going today.

Count the misused funding. What is ONLY a single EOD department's job we had count them... FIVE! show up. Yet during the wilding year there was a hands off m/o from ALL departments and the cities burned... The DOJ is anything but!

"Several bomb squads, including those with WSP, Bellevue Police Department, King County and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) responded to the scene. "
It seems a perfect fit for the low power devices and would be really nice to have a BBS available without phoneline or internet. There is a ton of old BBS software still floating around I just can't seem to find any specific esp32 builds, and I'm not exactly good at programming. Maybe one of the Linux versions could be ported over?
Been trying to figure out if it is possible to run an old school BBS setup over meshnets... They were all text based and used minimal memory but were super fun at the time.

Found a wasp nest at eye level yesterday morning but it is long empty, so I have it in the house to save. I got a bit more done on the stump as I had to cut another vertical cross cut to reduce the size of the chunks I have to cut out. Got a bit of shooting time and threw some lead at the hillside for the first time in a while. In the evening my new wireless tracker #LORA arrived and I got it quickly setup on #Meshtastic. I have plans on setting a number of the LORA devices up in my local region.

After my predawn grain run yesterday morning and a second trip to town mid day I was able to get the fence swapped out in the yard and the dog christened it first thing. While in town I got a pair of partial #ISS #SSTV images decoded as the ISS went overhead and am trying for more as long as it is running. Today my new wireless tracker gets here so I will have the 3rd node in my #mesh net going.
