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, NOSTR Friends! I hop you’re well. It is cloudy and 65 in northern Ohio this morning, and the Weather Channel says today’s high temp will be 69. We have a 98% chance of rain, too! My strawberry plants and red raspberry plants will be happy. I have a couple of errands to do this morning, so outdoors things will have to wait until I get home. In a new minutes I’ll make coffee ☕️ and look around for breakfast. Work hard in the mines today, and I wish you a wonderful day. I’ll see you tonight. #coffeechain

Good night, NOSTR Friends! Today was hot. And, being a 40+, overweight, fair-skin red-headed guy, I really don’t feel like being outside in the heat when it is nearly 90 and humid. So I wimped out and found a tree to sit under for a few hours while being thankful I don’t have a fur coat (like my dog) or a bunch of feathers (like the ducks). So, while I was being lazy…I hope you all got a lot done. I’ll try it again tomorrow. I read that the high temps tomorrow should be reasonable (70) for this time of year. I hope you sleep well, and get good rest!

Another 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries this morning. I think I’m going to water the berry plants tonight. Maybe that’ll make the berries grow bigger…

Good morning, NOSTR friends! I hope you’re well. We’ve made it to the middle of the week, and now it’s all downhill from here! lol I plan to work outside this morning while it is cool, then come back inside while it is hot. The Weather Channel App says it is73 and sunny now, with our expected high of 88. I hope your day is good, and your work goes well and you stay cool today!

Good night, NOSTR Friends! The sun is nearly down for the day, the ducks are petting for the night, and the Robbin’s (my favorites) are finishing their evening songs. Almost everything is yet. I accomplished most of the tasks on my list today: there will be some carry-over to tomorrow. I did something today that I had never done before - I picked and processed (blanched) rhubarb. After if had time to cool a little, I vacuum sealed it in 2-cup portions for easy use later in pies. I hope that was a reasonable measure for use in pies - I should have checked before sealing the bags. Anyway. It is time to say goodnight. I hope you sleep well!

Good morning NOSTR Friends! I hope you’re well! The skies in northern Ohio are overcast right now and it is 71 outside. The Weather App tells me it will be sunny with a high temp of 87 this afternoon. I’m on my way outside to do morning things with the ducks. Then I’ll harvest and process my rhubarb and strawberries, and make my way over to the raspberry patch to continue the never-ending task of weeding. I plan to listen to “Bitcoin and…” and @npub1u2vu...afsv, @npub15879...kv0n, and John Lewis on their monthly Coffee Chat. I hope you have a productive day and get a lot done! It is time to refill my coffee cup! #coffeechain

Good evening, NOSTR Friends! Hope you had a great Monday! The weather in northern Ohio was absolutely beautiful today - clear skies & 78. I picked the first strawberries 🍓 of 2025 this morning (and ate them!!!), then I spent the day with my family at Cedar Point. My personal tracking device (cell phon) tells me I walked 3.8 miles today. I believe I will sleep well tonight. Now it is time to put the ducks 🦆 in their coop and sit in my favorite chair! I hope you all get good sleep tonight, and wake up ready to face the day tomorrow! Goodnight, Friends! image

Agreed. My wife and I were both home schooled, our children are home schooled (K-12), many of my friends were, and my wife and I both have college degrees in useful professions. Many of my friends were home schooled, and have successful careers & businesses.

Is there anything I can do to speed up the process of downloading the BTC blockchain on Verizon Broadband? I started the process on 2025-04-11 and still have 5% to go. This a big download, I know; but to take over a month to download this much data seems excessive.

Good night, NOSTR Friends! I hope your day was filled with good things, and your coffee cup did not stay empty long☕️! My day was largely spent at a 4H carwash fundraiser. While we were out I got a few bags of feed for the ducks, and fed them when I got home. Tonight was restful, and I was just wasting time on “X.” I have strawberries to pick tomorrow, and rhubarb, too. I looked on Google, and found it is best to blanch rhubarb for a minute before storing it in the freezer. Well, goodnight, friends! I hope you sleep well and, if so inclined, find yourself in church tomorrow with your family.
