Of course, Inslee is Gates bitch boy and we were the first state to get it, by coincidence... Inslee's daughter is part of the gates foundation and now we get Ferguson who is the exact same lap dog as Shitslee. This state is so fucked.
Generally most of the water falls over there before even getting to us so it feels like the west side this month for sure. It could have been worse and been all snow.
Another wet morning #Nostr
Seems to be the month of the drenchening and we are now in the wettest month in over 5+ years. Just wild how much it feels like a temperate rain forest. Between the rains I was able to get the old disc cone #antenna removed then found the old tent poles which will become the 6 elements for my 2m OWA #YAGI I am building and just need to come up with my boom.
MY 3D PRINTER SHOULD ARRIVE TODAY!

Morning #Nostr
In what seems a miracle we managed a period of dry yesterday while our friends were over which allowed us the chance to wander the farm with them. We have outstanding conversations that range the entire spectrum and are antithetical to becoming heated in any fashion.
The overnight storm has us now .05" away from the wettest month in 5+ years of my records and tied for the 2nd right now. One hell of a #lanina!

The clouds never parted for us, we were the bullseye and its aim was perfect.
Holy DRENCHED morning #Nostr
Yesterday was a true sky flood and damn have we had a wet month. AS of this morning we have gotten 5.16" since the 1st and still a week left. This is 267% of our normal for the month and WAY more than prior years.
The International Fly Fishing Film Fest was badass and wow were there some amazing films. Really lit the fire in me for this next year!
Thankfully the rains are abating today so I may actually get to work outside again.

You probably already know. But for ease of use I like this sharpener.

I have a bench grinder sharpener but it doesn't hit the depth gauges. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get them ground evenly.
Morning #Nostr
The rains just won't stop it seems which makes getting work done around the farm a bit more difficult. I managed a bit of time in the afternoon yesterday to get the tree limbed and half bucked but will need to do a better job sharpening the chain. That will ba a projecy for today while it is still super dumping rain.
Tonight I'm going to Sandpoint Idaho for the Int Fly Fishing Film Fest at the Panida theatre which looks to be great. My 3d printer has shipped!!!!

OH HI #Nostr, didn't see you there.
STUPID Stoked on the #hamradio #antenna tower I picked up yesterday and am now very anxious to build my YAGI to mount on it. If only the sky river would finish draining onto us I might get to work on it. I got my dead HDD back so now need to order the parts drive in hopes of swapping platters. We went out to eat for his 11th #birthday and once home he got to see his new laptop that I will be setting up today. Seriously FUCK microsoft and winBLOWS, he is getting Ubuntu as soon as I deal with the shitty Bitlocker.
I ORDERED MY #3D PRINTER!!!!! HOLY BALLS am I excited!
#homesteading #diystr #hive #peakd #dailyblog
OH Happy DAY! I now finally have an #antenna #rotator and a Rohn 45 section to mount on hinges. Toivo has written articles for #QST about his antenna designs and has made contacts in over 200 countries!!! He is W8TJM if anyone works him. His current antenna is made of fishing poles!

Morning #Nostr
After running to the stores in the morning yesterday my day was largely taken by the trees. I got the base of the dead one dropped and a few rounds bucked off but got side tracked by some other tasks in the house. Later I put on a "sharp" chain, or so I thought, and went to take down a live tree. You can see things didn't work out exactly as I had planned...
I found an antenna tower for my #hamradio on CL for super cheap WITH a rotator!!!! I am going to check it out this morning and likely bring it home. It will be PERFECT to replace my current mast setup! And hopefully I can pull the trigger on the K1C printer too...

Okay #3d printing crowd I'm about to pull the trigger on a #Creality K1C for my first printer. While the K2 looks sick I've got the funds for this. Looking for anyone who can give me reasons not to go with this model or other brands/models that are comperable. From what I can find this thing looks pretty badass with little negatives, but what do I know I don't have one or 3d printing experience.

We get to -10F once in a while but tend towards 0-15F lows
I ran my S9 last year and it did just okay for a 20 foot section of my greenhouse double walled. Kept it above freezing the whole time but I was growing in the soil. I'm awaiting my S19 to arrive which I will try to heat the whole 40x12 foot greenhouse this year but I will be growing in pots on tables to elevate into the heat. Likely just put the miner under the tables. It's all experimenting for me now as I try to find what will work.
Here is my blog post where I set my S9 up in Feb.
Morning #Nostr
Yesterday morning after getting the wood rounds moved and stacked in the wall I spent my day taking down the tree that wouldn't fall. It only took a few ratchets of the come-along to nudge it over and it was soon laying on the hillside. As I finished limbing it a band of styro-snow moved in but was gone within minutes. About 2/3 of the upper trunk is bucked and I still need to drop the base today. Super nice wood ready to put right in the fireplace!

Hillary's gimp?
THIS bullshit!!! ALL TAX GONE! The concept needs to be wiped from the minds of humans.
TAX. As in the concept being removed from the lexicon.
