Last Notes npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger To be clear, I believe justice is necessary. It clearly doesn’t work to roll over and let abusive humans perpetuate violence on defenseless humans. I think our current systems equate justice with violence. I don’t think they are the same. So we need a new paradigm for dispensing justice without perpetuating violence. Systems that more accurately reflect value (BTC) seem like a good place to start. I’ve got lots of questions and very few answers. Thanks for being willing to thoughtfully engage. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger A logical position that many hold. I think we can do better, even if we haven’t been successful at it yet. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I’d like to see them eradicated by reformation rather than obliteration. Not sure the current level of human consciousness is ready to allow that as a possibility. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger This happened to me and they never reinstated my ability to withdraw. Ended up selling it and buying on another exchange a bit at a time, withdrawing as I went. Caveat emptor. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger What opportunities are you seeing? I’ve been contemplating a homestead system that turns biomass into heat, biochar, and electricity. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Three years ago I was burned out. I let go of pretty much everything but my family. Over time I’m discovering that much of what seemed indispensable was a distraction from what I really wanted. May you find your path to peace and joy. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger This is the way. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger There is tremendous opportunity for decentralizing hashrate through miner heat reuse in all kinds of applications, both domestic and commercial. People are already using miners to heat their homes and water, amongst other uses. In places where heat was already provided by electricity, the bitcoin earned from mining is essentially a rebate on the energy cost. It seems likely that large miners who rely on cheap power to stay profitable will continue to struggle with each halving, while those who are clever about leveraging miners to provide low grade heat will successfully stack sats without worry. This is a decentralizing trend that I don’t see discussed much in mainstream circles yet. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I’m a fan of the versatility of rv fridges. Ours runs on both ac and propane. Not sure how they compare on efficiency with the sundanzer. I like them as well. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Any resources you could point me to for alternative refrigeration? npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I just started some logs with shiitake, lions mane, olive oysterling, and chestnut. I’m hoping they will produce tastiness for a few years. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I’m a newb myself, but I’ve found fieldforest.net to be a helpful resource. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger That’s how I’ve seen it in the past, and from a purely financial perspective that makes sense. Lately I’ve been paying a lot more attention to where my energy goes and I’ve begun to wonder if I want to give my energy to the system in that way. There are pitfalls to borrowing from friends and family. I’ve also experienced and seen it done in ways that were far more meaningful and beautiful than anything I’ve experienced with a bank loan. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I would much rather borrow money from people I know than participate in the very system I am attempting to escape. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Many bitcoiners are also cash poor. People do the best they know. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I view debt as spending tomorrow’s productivity today. Through debt we have access to resources we couldn’t have used otherwise. We use today what we work to pay for tomorrow. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Thank you, my friend. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger A few weeks ago we found an old claw foot tub on Facebook Marketplace. We placed it in the forest and it’s currently where we hot tub and cold plunge. I plan to add a shower. Versatile, practical, and luxurious. A beautiful addition to our abundant life. https://m.primal.net/JAPJ.jpg npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Time for that mass conscientious objection. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Not enough talk of this, in my opinion. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger The other night they cuddled up on a branch instead of in the coop. https://m.primal.net/IKft.jpg npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Completely agree. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Right now vegetables and chickens. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger An ability to grow food. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Do miles to a Great Lake count? npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I roast the coffee I drink every morning. I also enjoy roasting for other folks who find value in what I do. These babies are going to friends at a meetup I attend. The next batch could be coming to you. Coffee for plebs, roasted by plebs. This is the circular economy I want.

This can be applied to many domains. I shudder when I remember how often I’ve followed the siren song of “changing the world” without first changing my world. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Yes. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I did like how easy it was to point hash toward Ocean. No KYC with Luxor besides email. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger All wallet payout addresses are publicly visible on ocean’s website. Not a dealbreaker for me, just gives me pause. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger ASICS accept a voltage range, starting around 12v to slightly above 14v. My understanding is that charge controllers in the tuner regulate voltage to the acceptable range, and the tuner dynamically tunes the chips for desired performance based on incoming voltage. I successfully ran an s9 on a 24v system. Depending on your system specs, it’s possible you could run your asic on your current system on sunny days when you have excess electricity. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Thanks! npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Not seriously.

Passive income and heat generated by prepaid electricity. The future is now. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger A line from the sun is a helpful way to think about it! npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I have the tuner set to maximize runtime, which has resulted in around 20Th of hash. I’m still gathering data about how much runtime I can expect in different weather conditions. I’m definitely looking to increase the output of my panels to get as many Th as I can. The sats are stacking slowly, but there’s room for growth. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Thanks for the ideas. Tilting them seems to be the easiest thing to try to improve output. We shall see! npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger My journey to mining bitcoin from electricity created by the sun began last year on a mountain in Tennessee. At the time, my family was living off grid, exploring what it was like to take a step out of the regularly scheduled societal program and into a life of greater connection to the natural world and the people around us. We were living well with the sun as our source of electricity. So well, in fact, that there were many days that our batteries were topped off well before noon, which meant that our solar panels were capable of harvesting much more energy than we needed. I’d been hearing that bitcoin miners are really good at soaking up and monetizing excess energy, so I took a look at our system’s capacity and the miner options available. I discovered that Bitmain’s S9 miner was plug and play ready for my application, and it only cost $125. It was perfect as a low risk way to learn more about home mining and an easy way to test what it was like to mine on solar. I started plugging in the miner on sunny days after the batteries had reached full charge and it worked! I was turning the extra solar capacity into hard money. I was hooked and began dreaming of ways to optimize the system. Before long, I discovered an online community of home miners who were tinkering with all sorts of interesting ways to use miners to add value to their lives. In particular, I was intrigued by the work of @npub17h5…88mq , who builds a tuner that allows a modified S19 series miner to run on 12v dc current straight from solar panels. This increases efficiency by eliminating the AC-DC power supply miners require when running from AC power sources. I purchased a tuner box from Dirty in November and began assembling the necessary components to build a completely off-grid solar mine. This week marked the maiden voyage of the system. As with any project that pushes the boundaries of what has previously been done, the road has been bumpy and winding. What follows is my attempt to get into writing the process, challenges, and successes of this project, both as a reference for future me and as inspiration and information to anyone who is curious about mining bitcoin with solar. Before embarking on this project, I identified the following goals: 1. To invest capital in energy independence and resilience. 2. To expand my experiential capital in both solar systems and bitcoin mining. 3. To setup a relatively passive income stream that reduces the ROI of the solar system. 4. To harvest the heat from the miner to supplement home space heating. I don’t currently live in a home that I’m able to add a solar system to, so I had to get creative. Fortunately, I found a family member who was willing to host the system in exchange for the supplemental heat from the miner. I have designed it so we can move it when we move to property where we have more space. The system is an asset that should bear fruit for decades. The system is composed of the following components: 1. Solar panels. Due to the design, 12v panels are necessary for maximum utilization of electricity produced. Technically, higher voltage panels will work, but they will be limited to a fraction of their maximum output because the miner requires 12v supply. 12v panels are more difficult to find. I got mine on eBay. I started with 3 Kw of capacity, which is around the maximum draw of my miner. This doesn’t mean the panels will produce 3 kW. We’ll get to that in a bit. 2. Miner. Currently the firmware for the tuner supports Bitmain’s S19 series miners. I went with a j Pro 100Th machine. 3. Solar tuner box. This is where the magic happens, adjusting the power sent to the miner based on what’s available from the panels and batteries. 4. Batteries. 400ah of 12v lithium. 5. Racking. I spent a lot of time putting together racking that was as cost effective as possible while meeting aesthetic and functional needs. 6. Wiring, fuses, breakers, connectors. Due to the length of my runs, this required upsizing my wire. Challenges in setting up the system: 1. Panel placement. The roof I have access to faces east/west. This is not ideal. After careful consideration, I decided to place panels on each slope of the roof. My hope was to capture more hours of sun rather than focussing on peak power production. The jury is still out on whether this was a good idea. 2. Wire run. Low voltage systems do best with short wire runs because of the expense of running wire gauges that are large enough to safely carry the amps the panels produce. The constraints of my system required wire runs of up to 45ft., which meant I had to upsize my wire gauge. This was expensive. 3. Setting up the tuner box. This was mostly due to my limited technical knowledge. I was learning how to setup and operate a solar system, a bitcoin miner, and the tuner all at the same time. There’s a learning curve. I spent a couple of days foiled by a bad sd card. Slow and steady wins the race. After running the system for a few days, some things are becoming apparent: 1. The solar panels seem to be the limiting factor right now. In full sun they harvest around 750w, which is 25% of their rated maximum. My current hypothesis is that panel placement is largely to blame. The panels are flat on the roof, facing east and west. I knew this wasn’t ideal, but it seems to be even less so than I hoped. The next step is to try tilting the panels south as much as I can. Production should improve as we enter the summer months and the earth’s axis shifts to bring the sun higher in the sky, striking the panels more directly. I will need to make improvements if I expect to hash over the winter. There is enough space on current racking to add another panel or two, so that is another option for adding watts. 2. Current battery capacity will only extend runtime marginally. It works well if the sun is momentarily obstructed by clouds, but if I want extended runtimes when the sun is down I’ll need to add batteries. 3. Turning extra electricity into heat and BTC is fun! I see lots of potential to keep tweaking the system for maximum efficiency. Questions?

If I want greater flows, I know I need to work harder and/or smarter. The market rewards value. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I think about this regularly. I'm glad to see you're thinking about it too. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I started with an S9 running Braiins OS, which allowed me to tune the miner to use only the excess electricity my panels produced. I ran the miner on sunny days after our batteries were fully charged. I’m in the process of building a direct-dc solar system that will run an s19 directly from the panels without the need for a power supply. I'll be running the heat from the miner into the home ductwork. Running direct dc is supposed to increase efficiency. I’ll see how efficient it is when I get it running, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. My experience with solar mining has been really positive so far. @npub1f5p…wt3z has a thread on here about his solar mining experiences that might be a helpful resource. The Home Mining Wizards Telegram group has a lot of folks who know lots about mining in general. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Mining takes a lot of power, so mining 24hrs/day on solar takes lots of batteries. I've had success mining on solar on sunny days after the batteries are fully charged. If you can use the heat from the miner it's even better. Solar mining can be a way to significantly reduce the roi on a solar system. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Verifying my Nostr Nests identity: 8dMNGB4142hNxgvV-ObCeXWGLQQyyH5kcGY17bvuo8w https://nostrnests.com npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger exactly. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger yes, there is new issuance but the printing schedule is known, auditable, and decreasing over time. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Tearing out old tile.

One thing I love about coffee is the complexity of flavors available to those who are willing to tinker. One way I like to play with flavor is by adjusting the strength and extraction yield of my brews. Strength is simply how much coffee is in the cup, measured as a percentage of total dissolved solids (TDS). Standard drip coffee usually falls in the 1-2% range. Espesso is much stronger, say 7-12%. Strength tends to vary in various cultures around the world. Extraction yield, also expressed as a percentage, is how much of the coffee grounds have been extracted into the cup. If I brew a cup of coffee using 20g of beans and end up with 20% extraction yield, I have dissolved 4g of those beans into the brew. The preferred extraction yield varies a bit by roast style and consumer preference, but in general people all over the world tend to prefer extraction yields in the 18-22% range. I personally prefer my morning pourover with a strength of around 1.3-1.35% TDS and an extraction yield between 20-20.5%. I've arrived at these numbers after years of tasting and tracking the measurements of my tastiest brews. The device I use to measure my coffee is called a refractometer. Refractometers can be used to measure how light passes through aqeous solutions and are also used to measure the concentration of sugar in fruit, among other things. The one I use is made specifically for coffee. You don't need a refractometer to play with strength and extraction, however. Adjust strength by changing the amount of beans you brew while keeping your water weight constant. Change extraction yield by adjusting grind size (you do have a quality burr grinder, yes?). Finer grinds lead (in general) to higher extractions (more flavors). Courser grinds generally lead to lower extractions. Extract too little and your brew might taste acidic and weak with no sweetness and a finish that dies quickly. Extract too much and your brew might be astringent and bitter with a thin body. I shoot for a balanced cup with nice acidity and sweetness that lingers pleasantly on my palate. Use your pleasure as your guide. Questions? Send’em to me. #coffeechain #learnstr https://m.primal.net/HbFp.jpg npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger How do I view it?

The weather has cleared and warmed up, so I'm back at working on the direct-dc solar mine. I got the racking installed and ready to receive panels next week. I went with Ironridge Flashvue mounts and channel strut from Menard's for the rails. This was the most cost effective solution I found that still met my aesthetic and safety desires. I'm starting with 3kw of solar, with enough racking to be able to add another panel or two if I decide I want more capacity down the road. The panels will directly power an S19j pro when the sun is shining via a magic box built by @Dirtyshotya. The box dynamically adjusts hashrate based on the power received from the panels. I'll be tying the miner into the home's ductwork, so we'll put the heat the miner produces to use as well. The way I see it, I've prepurchased my electricity and will be repaid over time in BTC mined + reduced heating costs in the winter. Eventually I hope to also use the miner to preheat water going into the water heater. Repurposing the miner heat for as many tasks as possible will help reduce the ROI on this system. 2. I spent more time in the woodshop this week. I have a membership at a local makers' space and I try to spend a day there every week working on various projects. This week another member offered to spend some time teaching me how to use the cnc machine. We made a small serving tray. I look forward to digging deeper into cnc in the coming weeks. 3. Last week I built a hood to vent smoke outside when I roast coffee. In addition to roasting for Mrs. Bitmeyer and myself, I’ve been roasting coffee and trading it for BTC at a couple of meetups I attend. It was rewarding to give the hood a try this week. It worked quite well and my family was grateful that the house was relatively free from roast smoke. Plus, I get a lot of satisfaction from using something that I designed and built. Winning! 4. I’ve been working on a grid pattern for another project and I ended up with some sheets of paper that my family wanted to use as coloring pages, so we made it into a coloring contest, with each of us coloring our own page(s). We had a lot of fun making our sheets together. Now we have a small gallery that we are enjoying looking at. We called it a contest, but I think we’re all winners. https://m.primal.net/HaUP.jpg https://m.primal.net/HaXw.jpg https://m.primal.net/HaYF.jpg https://m.primal.net/HaYT.jpg npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Bring back producers. #note1z09…3xm0 npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger New world being built. #note1x6w…ny88 npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger let's keep Dollywood out of this. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I think it's worth a read. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger what's going on with Tesla? npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger dreamy npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger ELI5? npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger sometimes imperfection in a part leads to perfection in the whole. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger this is v fascinating. for years I've been mulling over integrating woodgas into my energy resilience system, but positioning it as part of a forest management as a service program is super cool. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger so basically a combine for the forest? npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger earning in bitcoin is more satisfying for me than earning in fiat. values aligned. #note1ncz…jtzv npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger can confirm. this is the way. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger nice. over here it's a washed Guatemala. nothing beats that fresh roasted goodness. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger what beans are you pulling this morn? npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger *yet* npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger you do you. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger ~2/3 of a shirt, at least npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger as we say in permaculture, "one is zero and 2 is one." been thinking I want some spares around myself. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger sometimes this happens to mine, but so far it's come back when i restart the miner. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger It might. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger beautiful solution for beautiful axes. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Belief. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger comfort food done right. 🔥 npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Nutella npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I'm not exactly sure, but I think it involves running a vga cable from your ETF console to your nostr relay. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger To all my fans: Thank you.

I've found myself repelled by any activities that send any of my energy back into the state system. Glad there are more of us. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger A sovereign life Yesterday I spent the day in the woodshop, which is always a treat. I finished a cold air return grate for a family member and started work on an end table enclosure for our S9 spaceheater. Our goal for the end table is that it looks nice enough to keep in our living room while also serving as a side table. Eventually I plan to build a matching dehydrator that we can connect to the cabinet when we have things we want to preserve. Aesthetic functionality for multiple purposes is the goal. Today I'm beginng work on a cookbook for recipes from the cafe we owned in a previous life. I'm not sure where this will lead, but both Mrs. Bitmeyer and I have been drawn to making something to commemorate that season of our life. It feels good to start excavating those memories again. Bonus: it's snowing. I've never lived in a place with enough snow, so bring it on! https://m.primal.net/HXId.jpg https://m.primal.net/HXIe.jpg npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger not too late. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger is that for sale on your site? npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger Note to self: Beware of anyone who tries to tell you what you should eat. npub1vpx9596duxdsmx4kwksycm2u4qy0gr6mzg289m52q96gdy97s9zsnkjspj peacemonger I did some reading about it last winter and came to a similar conclusion.
