Mmmmm. Nothing burger. X-tra Mayo, hold the relish, please.

Boat - definition: a hole in the water into which you throw money.
Seriously, I grew up on the Gulf coast and love boats, kayaking, canoeing, and sailing especially, but also some shrimping and water skiing. If you've never had a high-maintenance relationship, you've never really loved a boat.

I think "Tree Crops" is available free at project Gutenberg. At least I think that's where I downloaded a copy.

2nd week without a job; Monday...
Today's honey-do list:
Dishes, laundry, dinner, pick up boys at dinner time, apply for that one job that is just like my last job.
My own project list:
Start building some air-prune beds for propagation.
Try to start the chainsaw
Add some tools to my shopping list
Finish TaskRabbit setup to the point I can actually start scheduling Tasks
And, if there's time, do a biochar burn
This is a few more things than nostr:nprofile1qqsw9xwdz6f28yengrqhq4m4ff38rr2y74lxvdgu4mhlxu3z73e3u3gpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uuy8vuw would have me put on such a list, but at least I'm pausing to make a list. That's a start, right? And, by completing some of these projects, I'm taking a function stacking approach.
Building the raised beds will not only get me closer to my business goals, it will also help clear out some space in the back yard, especially under a window that's being replaced in the next couple of months.
Starting the chainsaw (it's been sitting for about 2 years) will not only allow for faster yard cleanup than a battery powered recip saw, but it will also expand my opportunities on Task Rabbit.
Writing a cover letter, besides being a doorway to a potential job, is just more practice in writing within a specific set of parameters. Posting on nostr is the same thing, but with different parameters. It could also earn a few sats and be a source of accountability.
But right now, I've got to find those pizza crust recipes so they'll have time to rise.

Today's leg workout... stacked chair stair climbs.

I can still do both. Not planning on kicking off anytime soon!
I remember when Simpson ties were required by code after hurricane Alicia in '83. Staples were also banned for composite shingles, though Dad and I drove around checking all the roofs we'd done in the past few years and hardly list a shingle, much less a whole roof.
I had to try 3 times before I got any comfrey to take in my central TX yard and make it through a summer. The first 2 were from a local nursery. The ones that finally took and look good so far this year were from Brian nostr:npub17wmfr6m9y2p8jjzp8hsa53zl3hmc70n4hn3juydw4avjf256tscs4lt5f4 They're bocking 4, if he didn't lie to me.
I had a vertical aquaponics setup at one time. My aquaculture plans for the future also include ferrocement ... and a rocket mass heater.
Tile went down a lot faster when I was in my 30's. Not only did I not finish last night (I found a few more ½ pieces that needed chipping up) but I didn't finish tonight either. I did, however, make a pretty decent pork loin roast and "The Best mashed potatoes I've ever had." for my wife for mother's day. Look ma, no water!
The potatoes are mushroom, caramelized onion, and feta. The loin rosemary, garlic, and the beans chile and lemon. Served with a Pinot Gris in a solo cup.
The closest wash station is 40 feet away. 70 by the time you navigate the maze of kitchen boxes between here and there.

That's pretty much what I decided... I'm not sure whether the altered line will be under the new cabinets or not, but I'LL KNOW. I'LL KNOW.
Demo dilemma: the new tile is so much less vibrant than what I bought 15 years ago, but 2 of of these very nice pieces are ¾ inch short. Should I alter the grout line and keep the color, or keep the grid consistent?

It's paper plates from here on out... New cabinets less than 2 weeks from install date. The countertop weeks beyond that.

Hopefully the rest of the slate will go in tonight.
The kitchen demo continues...
I've got less than .2 acre. I've thought about it, but too many other projects take priority both in terms of time and space. I'd start with a small ish homebuild to collect data, then, when deciding to scale up, youll have an idea just how much capacity you'd get and how much waste you can process for a given sized system and whether your building skills and interests are up to the task.
Neither of the two best sites I found today look like the one I was looking at before, so they may have changed the layout or shadow banned it, but searches of "domestic dragon" and "dragon husbandry" have produced tons of info.
About 11 years of soil building and I've managed a single tomato plant that has more tomatoes than all my previous attempts combined.
About every 2nd year I'd try again. Last year, I got rabbits and a few tomatoes. This year I had lots of poop and put some of the plants out before the last average frost date

Saw a great bumper sticker today, "You can't fix stupid, but you sure don't have to vote for it." #grownostr
"up north"Minnesota. Near #[7] former homestead. About an hour east of Fargo.
Forgot my son had detention this afternoon... #unwinding to this view for the next 15 mins. #grownostr #zapathon
I see all that. Also brings me back to walking on a beaver dam at my father in law's place. #grownostr
