Working on a deck this week. image These manufactured deck boards don't take pencil marks very well, so notching them with the Swiss army knife saw. Self custody your Bitcoin. Always carry a pocketknife. #grownostr #edcstr #proofofwork #skilledtrades #dewalttools
Went to do a soil evaluation in a new area for me, and had to do a little exploring on the way back home. Never know what you'll find on random Missouri backroads. I don't know what the story is behind this place but somebody back in the day moved an impressive amount of rock. Both sides of the road, probably 40ish acres, all surrounded by stacked rock wall and fence. Seventh generation thinking. #grownostr #backroads #getoutside #ruralruins
Dinner last night. T bone steak, raised on my farm, salted for an hour before cooking in butter and lard. image #grownostr #beef #cookstr #foodsovereignty
Checking out some soil today. Lots of clay here. As you can see, this soil holds water, so this site will get a lagoon instead of a leach field. image #grownostr #soil #excavation
Today's project. Installing a septic system. #grownostr #proofofwork #getoutside
Pullets are growing. image It seems one of them laid their first egg today. image #grownostr #homestead #chickens #foodsovereignty

Alright Nostr, let's have a discussion about the current state of the lightning network. My question is this: What is the threshold that you are comfortable transacting over the lightning network? In other words, at what dollar amount do you say no to lightning and transact on-chain instead? I send zaps and other micro-payments on a daily basis and everything works great. I'm perfectly confident using lightning for daily, mundane amounts, but how much is too much? If I sell someone a side of beef and need to accept payment over $1000 in value, does lightning have the necessary liquidity for that transaction, or should that amount be sent on-chain despite the high fees? I'd especially like to hear from those who run their own lightning node and other vendors who use lightning for point of sale. #bitcoin #lightning #paralleleconomy
Had some spare time this afternoon for a short ruck through the woods. image Spent the holiday weekend 95% offline, and it was glorious. Church on Sunday and Decoration at the cemetery, then had family and some friends at our pond for some fishing and outdoor cooking. Then two busy days to get things done in this short week, so minimal down time for Nostr. Remember, sometimes it's healthy to stop scrolling and just go play outside. #grownostr #getoutside #rucking #edcstr
Old buildings along the side of random two-lane roads in the countryside are cool. I like to collect pictures of them, because one of these days they'll be gone and forgotten. image #grownostr #photostr #ruralruins
My proof of work for today. Small covered bridge over the pond outflow. image The frame is some old scaffolding the previous owner left on my property. My original plan was to cut it off flush and just have a walkway, but the idea for a covered bridge popped into my head. All reclaimed scrap lumber and metal. Just need one more piece sheet metal to finish it up. #grownostr #homesteading #getoutside
