From the mail trail: I enter lunch break on my scanner. Slip my socks and shoes off. And step into Bass Patterson Lake. 5.27.26 #counrtyliving #daily image

GM! From our front meadow. This caught my eye pulling out of the driveway to finish up the mail route yesterday. Hope you have a great day! 5.27.26 #gm #coffeechain image

Good morning. Back to the mail trail today. Day after a holiday. It'll be heavy today. No fire for two mornings in a row now. Yesterday Annie woke up and asked me if I was going to be alright. LOL. Those are wild strawberries blooming on our plant tables. If it's not photos of fires it flowers. The focus: earthy things. Deep connection. Body and mind become one. Beauty. Hope you have a great day! 5.26.26 #gm #cofffeechain image

6:40 AM. Puddles in the driveway. Chickadees sing spring song. Things feeling fresh at the nursery before heading to the Mail Trail. 5.23.26 #countryliving #gm image

Good morning. This is Morning Fire 223. My 5th day of Mail Trail delivery. This might be the last fire. Now I see they're talking 77 and sunny tomorrow. That wasn't the case yesterday. The impermanence of weather. I am thankful for it Hayden (16 years old) worked for my great uncle yesterday at his sawmill. He came home with 20 bucks cash and fresh cut pine boards to side the doors he's building for his forge shelter. He was out there working on them until 9:30 last night. The kid put in a day. Both of our boys have been homeschooled. When they get into a project there's no slowing them down. They work like lions, then rest. Nothing like how ants work. Thoreau warned us about that. Don't work like ants he said. Dang, I gotta go. Words are flowing this morning. I hope you have a great day! 5.23.26 #gm #coffeechain image

It stepped out onto the road. It was BIG, black and beautiful. Life in this world going on around it. Me driving home from work. Two men down at the crick filling buckets. People mowing lawns already. And there was this creature that stepped out of the woods looking out of place. An accidental arrival into our world. I stopped. It stopped. Looked. Then turned around and went back where it came from. As I watched the butt of the bear disappear into the brush I said, "Hide, and don't ever let them see you."

GM🔥 It's 40 out there at sunrise. Supposed to get up to 70 today, or close to it. I had a long day on the Mail Trail yesterday. A lot of Amazon packages and mail to deliver. One guy keeps telling me he doesn't go to town anymore. His family just orders what they need and it shows up. Hard to believe people used to laugh at Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Said they'd never make it. Wasn't worth investing in. Now he's despised by many for having more money than you or I would probably know what to do with. Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 191 4.21.26 #gm #coffeechain image

GM 🔥 Off to start the mail jeep in a few minutes. It's 25 out there. I'll let it warm up a bit. Always nice to get into to something semi warm. Plus I think it's better on the engine and transmission. I pull out of my driveway it's 0 to 60 east on E. Stacked BTC @ 75K this morning. I should just go all in! My full days wages into it. Fuck it. Let it ride. Not quite there yet though. I do want to eventually run a node though. I've heard they're not plug and play though. I stop in at my mom's today. I step in and say hi to her and my Grandma and hand them the mail daily. My grandma is starting to call her the "woman that lives here." It's getting to my mom. I'm off to the mall trail. I hope you have a great day! #gm #coffeechain Morning Fire 190 4.20.26 image

We broke ground in 2005. We moved in 2008. During those years we lived in the old farmhouse in our front yard. Which is slowly falling down and returning to the earth, like we all do. It took discipline to build it. It's taken discipline to live in it. Wisconsin winters are long and cold. We have one source of heat: The masonry stove that the earth roof rests on. I lit Morning Fire 189 this morning. We'll break 200 like we do every year. We're already cutting firewood for next winter. We built it debt free. We were Bitcoiners back then, but didn't know it yet. Creating something of value and not spending beyond our means. My grandma, who survived the Great Depression, used to say that a lot: Don't live beyond your means! I miss that. There was a wisdom in it. I could feel it beyond the words. Yet I knew it was different times. We were encouraged to spend, go into debt for this or that, and live by impulse. After the jets crashed into the Trade Towers on September 11th, 2001 President Bush reminded us to go shopping. That's it for now. I was out in the front yard getting ready to plug my tire, looked at the house, and had to sit down and write. It's my day off. I have some space to write about place. There's power in place. I like it when I can tap into it. Until next time. 4.19.26 #daily #memoir #soul image

Yes. I see money is stored energy and value. Once I understood how the money I am able to save is set up to lose value Bitcoin became a priority for me. #bitcoin image

GM🔥 Looking forward to a day off tomorrow. Then it's back to work Monday. I am covering for a carrier. He's back in Texas picking up the rest of his family's things. He's carried mail here a winter here and survived. He doesn't mind the winters he says . I bought BTC at 76K this morning. My relationship with BTC is interesting. It's faith based. And with anything faith based there's doubts. That's the way I look at it right now. Maybe I will expand on that later. If I ever do it'll be here first. I feel comfortable writing here. I'm off to the mail trail. I hope you all have a great Saturday! Morning Fire 188 4.18.26 #gm #coffeechain #soul image
