Ouch. #bitcoin #investing

Good morning from the front of morning fire 100. It is 10 below out there at 8:30 AM. Three things I am thankful for. A warm bed. I woke up at 4:15 'AM. I layed there for 2 hours because it was warm. And because I could. I'm usually out of bed by 4:15 on a workday. I am thankful that my mom and Grandma are still alive. They live down the road from us. 4 miles to the east. I was there at 11 PM last night loading her outdoor wood boiler. I do it every evening. Sometimes I will step into the garage and say thank you to my Dad. The garage is pretty much the same since he passed 4 years ago. Maybe he's out there somewhere listening. Finally for the pets that are casually lying here. A cat in his cushion bed. A dachshund on my lap. They put me at ease. What's one thing you're thankful for today? I'll zap it 10 SATs. ⚡ I hope you have a great day! #gm #coffeechain #plebchain #daily

GN Nostr.I am going to sit down with the family and watch some Lord of the Rings while the wind blows snow at one degree out there. I was just over at my mom's loading her outdoor wood boiler. There's a lot of moving parts to keep her house warm. Thankful everything thing mechanical is cooperating this evening. #gn #wisconsin #gratitude

GM. It's Sunday. A day from the mail trail. That's one thing I am thankful for. I have tomorrow off, too. I am thankful for this fire in front of me. It's one above out there. And they're talking cold all week. Some days it won't get above zero they're saying. The last thing is the dinner we had last night. Annie made chili. Daniel came up to spend the night. It was nice he could join us. He was going to spend the night in the woods survival camping, but a few things went sideways.. After dinner they watched some Lord of The Rings and I went to bed. I hope you have a great Sunday. 1.18.26 #gm #coffeechain #plebchain

GM. I need more grace than I thought. ~ Rumi Thankful for three things again this morning. 1 For my job. It gives me purpose. Keeps the bills paid. 2. The freedom to homeschool. To have my wife and kids at home and happy. 3. Bitcoin. For what it has taught me about money, myself, and how we fear change. That's all. I'm off to the mall trail in 20 minutes. It's 13 out there with a light blanket of fresh snow on the ground. I stepped in it barefoot when I set the ash bucket on the deck earlier. I have been laying in it in the evenings while doing stomach crunches. I never regret doing this. Something about the cold. Tomorrow is a day off. Monday too. We drive up to McGregor, Minnesota Monday to get a leg vice for Hayden (16 years old). It's for forging metal. It's got a leg on it. So it transfer the blows of the hammer into the ground. That's the way I look at it anyway. That's really it. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 98 🔥 1.17.26 #gm #grace #soul #homeschooling #daily

GM. Thankful for three things this morning. 1. The snow plows that will be plowing the freshly fallen snow my wife told me about when she came to bed last night. 2. The thank you card and cash a customer left in her mailbox. My sixteen year old son and I shoveled out her mailbox the night before. 3. These lines by Rumi I read yesterday morning: "The world is made of snow It falls and melts and falls again. "Do not be concerned with the snow. Come toward the sound of my voice. Move always in that direction." Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 97 1.16.26 #gm #coffeechain #plebchain #daily

GM. One degree out there. Thankful for this fire. Time is short. Things to do before I head to the mail trail. Yesterday I ran across a post about Robert Redford. It was about his final days. This stuck with me: " . . . in his last weeks, Redford had recorded a private message for his great-grandchildren. In it, he said, 'This world can overwhelm. But if you slow down, and sit under a tree long enough, it’ll tell you everything. And if you forget who you are, draw something. Or go walk alone. Nature remembers you.'" I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 96 1.15.26 #gm #coffeechain #daily #plebchain

Did anyone here listen to Coffee With Scott Adams? I listened to him daily on the mail route for the past 6 years. He passed away yesterday. And was just wondering if there were folks on Nostr that were fans. I know he had a huge following on X. His final message below. #asknostr #ScottAdams #plebchain

GM. Morning Fire 95 is burning hot. Waiting for it to finish. Then it's off to the mail trail. It's 8 degrees out there. Feeling like January again. I was looking for zen quotes about "not knowing" earlier. This one made me smile. "To understand nothing takes time. " - Zen proverb I hope you have a great day! 1.14.26 #gm #coffeechain #plebchain #zen #soul

My sons forging a striker. They will be using it to strike flint to start fires. My oldest son is in costume. He's made costumes for himself his whole life. All 3 of our kids have actually. His costume is based on the ranger in Lord of The Rings. #homeschooling #Fatherhood #countryliving

GM. I am in front of morning fire 94. Thankful for it. The light, the heat, the sound. It's 33 out there. Back to the mail trail today. Not much to say right now besides: I hope you have a great day. 1.13.26 #gm #coffeechain #daily #plebchain
