I am building a platform for the kids play set to add the slide to. My daughter really wanted to help, which I am not good at.

So I took this evening and precut everything so all she needs to help do is line things up and make sure we are square.

I am also hoping this goes quick enough it holds her attention. If nothing else I’ll get it done faster.

It has been a learning experience for me to try to include my kids in projects. We will see how it goes.

Had a run in with government health department workers today at the farmers market.

Our booth and any other that offer samples and didn’t have a hand washing station for customers were told to tear down their stalls immediately.

Not just stop offering samples, but lose out on hundreds or thousands in sales. There is a communal hand wash station about 100’ away at the bathrooms.

I had this hand wash station set up for months and not a single person used it, so I stopped wasting my time.

It’s not about health is the bottom line.

I took about an hour to slowly break it down, selling the whole time and sold directly from the trailer w no booth til the very end.

My friends who’s farm I sell for started a tiny house on wheels farm store to sell their meat and other local farms’ products as well- 7 days a week in the middle of town.

Smart of them- 2 is 1, 1 is none especially when the govt can pull your permits if you don’t follow pointless rules, and ruin your business.

Sorry just had to vent that to a crowd that might empathize

Day 63: #grownostr initiative

I may have misidentified this as a Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina) several weeks ago when i transplanted it from the side of the road to one of my gardens. After seeing the folliage rosette it could be a Mullein (Verbascum thapsus). I may have to wait to see the flower color ro know for sure. Purple = Lamb's Ear, Yellow = Mullein.

Let me fix it, Democrats are more insane then Republicans but both and nuts and neither should be in charge of anyone's life.

Is that "the same"? Does it matter?

Love it 🔥🔥

How is every accessing #nostr? I have only interacted with it through #damus. Wondering what the best way to access it on my PC is. Running windows. LMK! #grownostr #decentralized

Man I love grease

Well, I got 4 panels up before I called it a day. These composite railings and all their hidden fasteners take forever when you’re by yourself lol

Hey grownostriches, I’m wondering what is the under $1k tangible item that has given you the greatest Return on Investment?

Could be personally or in your business, but I’m thinking mostly from a homestead perspective.

For me it’s gotta be the lil 5x10 utility trailer.

That thing has probably made or saved me over $60k in 6 years of owning it..

Whether it’s getting free/cheap building materials, bulky furniture/appliances that don’t easily fit in the truck, bulk soil/compost, whole logs for milling, etc. And that doesn’t even include the value derived from it in my edible landscaping business.

Curious what yours are?

Yer to get verified takes a long time. You really need several years of diving I think is a minimum. I was a tech diver before I did cave diving. I had done maybe a thousand dives before I underwent cave training.
