GM nostr. This morning, I'm thinking about power. I believe true power comes from self mastery. Whatever destructive means you have, the real power is in the restraint you practice with the means at your disposal. Knowing when and how to use those means to get the best possible outcome for everyone, including your adversary. Now I'm off for a run. #coffeechain when I get back. Cold brew should be waiting for me.

Today I witnessed someone who is both pro-gun regulation and also advocated for violence against others... I'm a gun-owner, and I hope I never find myself in a situation where I have to use it. I would never advocate for violence, even against someone who has completely different beliefs than I do.

I think this is either him, or someone quickly made an account after... Antifa, that wouldnt be surprising if its true. Seems like the most committed to antifi are the most likely to deny people the right to choose. Hypocrisy. The mental gymnastics is astounding. There's some really damaged people out there.

The past can haunt us, if we let it... Accept - this is where I am, what I have experienced brought me here. This is my journey. Forgive - Why am i hurting myself? i have gone through trials and tribulations, I have bettered them, and I will better this too. This is my journey. Move Forward- Tomorrow i will be better than I am today, I will see myself moving forward and reaching for change. I will falter, but I will pick up and continue. There is no need for shame or regret, only progress. This is my journey.

Thid week, I am thinking about purging. I am going through a transformation, and I need to let go of things that cannot come with... While this physical purge is happening, so is a mental one. What is necessary, and what makes me better? These are the mantras for what I shall bring to my tomorrow. Things, thoughts, and memories are burdens. Carrying costs. How to justify the costs? The stress of an overfilled room carries stress which releases cortisol, as done an overfilled mind... The mental affects the physical and the physical affects the mental. My agility, my fortitude, and energy increases with each toss into the trash bin. I am moving forward. Is the thing, thought, or memory worth the price? What are you carrying that you would like to let go? What will you choose to carry to your tomorrow?

My 10yo daughter last night told me shes not proud of her country... and i think i finally understand. I see the country and the government as two different things. Im not really proud of my government, but i am proud of my people. The things we have endured, the things we create, and the spirit we carry. The flag isnt about the government, its about the people, its about the idea of what we could be, and its about what we have been. Its about the people who have laid down their lives in service to our country, to the principles for which it was founded. We celebrate independence day not to be proud of our government, but proud of our people who stood up to tyranny, said enough is enough, and decided to go their own way, at great risk to themselves and their families. Would you stand up to a king? One backed by a powerful army?

Some #coldbrew on ice in my old #LinuxFest Northwest glass for this hot sunday. The sun is shining, the morning glories are budding. GM Nostriches. #coffeetrain #cofeetrain #coffetrain

Some people are aghast that I use #linux for #hamradio. Even more so when I say I use #archlinux. The thing is it just works for me. I'm able to accomplish what I need to do. Does it solve the problem for my radio club friends? no... But that wasn't the intention anyways. I don't run windows on any of my devices. You also won't find MacOS here either. I'm not saying its right for you, I'm not saying you should or shouldn't do anything. I am explaining what works for me. I have good reasoning too, as I have found this to be the best solution for me over a decades-long computing journey. If you want to know why, you are free to ask.

GM nostriches. My #coffeechain post today is my Morning Glories growing on the windowsill. We have a couple buds now, but no blooms yet.

Was up late last night working on our field day antenna setup for the amateur radio club. Tested and working, and we didn't see any interference between the two dipoles. We also heard from the UK, as well as Florida and Georgia. Field day is happening on Saturday-Sunday and its going to be great! Thank is @Solara Noir for coming out to help! #fieldday #fieldday2024 #hamradio #amateurradio #antennas

GM nostriches! Having some creamy coldbrew. #coffeechain

So much to do! Tomorrow, myself and @Solara Noir are headed up to the mountain to go camping. From 101*F to 75*F its going to be so nice. Bringing the radios to do a little #pota as well. #hamradio #amateurradio camping

GM! I'm outdoors, Enjoying some cold-brew iced coffee with my ham radio. Listening to the local repeater discussion . #coffechain #coldbrew #hamradio

I was so tired today, and I couldn't figure out why. Perhaps I didn't sleep well, not sure. Then I'm shuffling around the kitchen, and I notice the coffee pot is still full at 2pm... Mystery solved. I was so busy making a big breakfast, I forgot to drink the coffee I made. #notdaddictedatall #coffee
