I live in Northern Ohio with my family. We raise ducks for eggs to sell & eat. My interests include raising ducks, gardening, cryptocurrency, and precious metals. We make and sell fresh-made meat-based dog- and cat-food.
Good Morning, @`Maria2000` !
Good morning, @Luke ! Have a great weekend!
@Luke - How long does it take to download the BTC blockchain? It has taken several days to get to 52.79% downloaded.
I have Verizon Unlimited wireless (not 5G) internet at the house, because it is my only option other than DSL (GAG). They say there is not data cap on my usage, but the download speed has dropped significantly (time per block...). I am at block 277923 and it is taking between 20 sec. & over a minute to download a block.
My internet speed is 21.46 Mbs/s down / 11.09Mb/s up. (Speedtest.net)
Once this download is complete, I'm going to copy the folder to another drive and store it as an archive so I don't have to do the whole download again... This is a great optopn to build from scratch, but a little forethought and preparation will prevent me from the agonizing wait in the future.

Good morning, NOSTR friends! I hope you’re well! The current temp where I am in Northern Ohio is 61, and we’re expecting a high today of 78! The Weather Channel App says it will be windy today, so it is probably a great day to fly kites.
After tending the ducks I’ll be inside building the computer I was hoping to build yesterday.
This weekend we celebrate Resurrection Day & Passover (for those of the Christian and Jewish faiths).
I hope you have a great day! And remember, every day is a gift! See ya tonight!
Well, NOSTR, it is time for me to start heading for bed. I got a lot done today, and finished out the day with going to the stable to watch my kiddo do a favorite thing - riding horseback. And we finished off the night around a bonfire eating Mac n’ cheese & hotdogs with snores and toasted marshmallows for dessert. Now they’re getting ready for bed/in bed, and I’m about to put water on the dying coals and head to bed myself. The new MOBO arrived this evening so I’ll be building my neighbor’s PC tomorrow. Goodnight, friends!
Pro tip: when FakeBook tells you there is a problem with your listing (wood files & rasps, metal files & awls) delete the posting. (They flagged it as a “weapons” listing.) Because at some point they cut your access to sell & buy on Marketplace. Now I’m getting a headache from finding out how/if it can be restored.
Back to work! The part I need to finish building my neighbor’s PC has not made its way to my house yet, so…on to other tasks to fill my time until…
The wood stacks out of my basement!
#Doing_the_Work!!! 
Coffee with Perry the Platypus! 
Still plugging away…
