Looking for information. I had Wallet of Satoshi for zaps on Amethyst. Now that it's out of US what can I use? I don't have my own lightning node yet. ( 1 yr plan) I have muun strike and breeze but their lightning addresses time out. I tried Alby but they are invitation only right now so I put in a request. Just something simple that will get me through till summer. @Nunya Bidness any ideas?

This always seems like the official start of Maple season. 1st fire and the sap starts to boil. If I'm lucky I'll get 6 weeks of sap runs, if not maybe 4. Should have some fresh syrup for the weekend. (Give me a couple weeks to filter and bottle) https://image.nostr.build/b64d6e1ddbce85eeb6c5e25d9406e28d60ee1a5302bd5a20ce918c9792f58a6d.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1920&blurhash=%5DdDvl%5ED%25D%25s%3Axu%7EqIUM%7Bj%5Bt7xuM%7Bt7WBoeofRjt7j%5BayayWBofj%5BfRRjofofWBj%5BWVofaya%7Cf6j%5Bj%40WBofj%5Baej%5Ba%7Cj%5Bay&x=1799ce48470de1bc5ed6ba801ba38de5e8281a2242c8f5c8c0a342c791557115

I've mentioned it before but a great perk for the next month is making my coffee with maple sap. It's 2% sugar and adds an interesting sweetness. Using my tree mug made by my crafty sister from Sarah's soap https://image.nostr.build/3eb350798e8a2b0987c0fb34ee3db14f39efe0e9a52c0090031f7998daf3f7d2.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1080&blurhash=i8F%23aWD%25I9%3FwIT9a-%3BIUjb03I9IV.8IURP%25NROR%2B%25M%24%259atSROn*-%3BIUof-oE2%250xuIUxtxuIUs%3Aahe-%252%252E1W.ozM%7Ct6&x=8a445cd84d4f57a0935c66dd3cdcbba9f69ef56ec80c47d879a4768a3fb7d7f4

When you work full time but love your hobby you never seem to get tired. Done tapping tonight,, gotta wash holding tanks,, I'll be up before work at 4:15 getting 50 more taps in. Man this is fun. Syrup coming soon. https://image.nostr.build/3da8b6d8e08b3d4097326fde356f664d7b7ab29d48fc82cb7a5530224f38761d.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1080&blurhash=i23lQ%40NM00-3.lOueSVWM%7D%5E%24M%7D9c%25exYMyt6kpM%7Dh%7DRPpw%25zQ-H%3Fx%5DyDRQNHR*xsxsM%7DIqxtxZRQO%3FWXv%7EwcOYOExDwJRk&x=04ccda15722270c18cd7f1e15ee8b74ab2fdf6b702ae10115715c89e3234a86c

Tapped 200 trees today, and running well. In a few week I hope to be back on the Circle-P with @nuya getting some syrup sats. @nunyabidness https://image.nostr.build/2dd0a9842a7d85a3c1a3ecfcf02d20fbb948ce0f486968301c5f251089a7d2fb.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1920&blurhash=%5DCBgJB_N9Ft8tREASjoJRkozkso%23ofxutQkYS6a%23ofofo%7Eo%23ofWCRk%25hbcM%7Bt7ofS%25ozoJRkj%5Bbda%7EjYbIWBNKM%7CWBtQof&x=37e06e25b0013a609539d8c427695e99338790b11416a84f517aebb4d789dbda

Long couple weeks. Son was sick with stomach flu that then went to mono. Lots of laying around and getting him to eat more. Finished big piece of home butchered sausage as he then attacked the waffle ice cream sandwich with homemade maple syrup. He got his calories this morning.

Homebuilt patio fireplace is now structurally and functionally done. Over the next year: pour patio, hand hew a mantle, stonework all walls and chimney, put a roof on it. I'm ready for fall fires. @Nunya Bidness this is a big reason I've been missing. #buildsomething #patio #grownostr

I have been off platform awhile as life with teenagers is busy. Letting everyone know I am out Maple Syrup until the season in March 2024. Thanks to the Bitcoin community 1/2 of all syrup sales were in BTC. I will send notes next year for return customers to have 1st dibs.

Teenage sons (14,16) working at small local foundry again today. 1st time for poured aluminum. They are loving it and learning. Then off to cross country practice tonight. Teenage boys have lots of energy. Encourage them to use it. Afterwards lots of meat and peaches off the tree #proofofwork #country life

I'm lucky. Cousins next door have a 15 acre organic farm. I barter by cutting wood for them and pick stuff like this up couple times a week. I can get stuff that doesn't sell that week for canning and freezing. And stuff getting old goes to my pigs.. My garden went to zero about 5 yrs ago. Can't wait till cherry tomatoes, they plant 7 varieties. If you are ever in NW Ohio at a farmers market (Bowling Green, Perrysburg, Toledo, Tiffin) try and find Clay Hill Farm. Great food, and you will find my syrup at their stand. #organic #barter #garden #permaculture #homesteading #foodstr

Got my order of coffee today from @satscoffee San Pacho is fantastic and I haven't tried Satoshi Blend yet. Get yours with bitcoin on their site or from @OshiApp Also, try and think of something to produce so you can also enter the producer side of bitcoin economy. Also check out my artisan maple syrup you can get for bitcoin(great as coffee sweetner). Prices pinned to my profile. I will be sold out of the 140 gallons I made this year by September. #coffeechain #grownostr #circular economy #bitcoin #lightning #farmersmarket #nostrmarket

Bartered with Friedahodl, who sells cinnamon rolls for Bitcoin in Tennesee, for my homemade maple syrup I sell for BTC, across the US from Ohio. Every week or two I see a new producer willing to sell for BTC. It is slow and takes time, but the circular economy is slowly growing. @ODELL @nunya @ShiShi21m #grownostr #foodstr #bitcoin #circulareconomy #lightning

Here is another reason to migrate to Nostr. Wanted to get cinnamon rolls made by Frieda for Bitcoin, (or barter my maple syrup)I went to message and got this. She's not a blue check either. @ODELL add it to the growing list of why to switch. #bitcoin #grownostr #lightning #foodstr

Son turned 16 last week. Got his license today. Going down driveway for the first time by himself (I think) Huge freedom for a kid in rural area, I remember it well. He got truck from his Grandpa. I never let on that I was nervous. Spend time with your kids.

1 Qt Maple syrup headed out to @ShiShi21m Thank you for contacting me. I threw in a bar of my sister Sarah's tallow soap to try.

Saved to take boys on a trip. I like to do stuff early to stay away from crowds. 5:55 am Buckingham, I didn't use filter to get rid of people, no one there. Wife and Thing #2 came with me and jogged in Green Park right by palace. Great morning. I also tipped a publican in bitcoin at local pub, his first such tip using muun wallet. #grownostr #bitcoin #paywithbitcoin #lightning

Another use of my homemade maple syrup you can buy with bitcoin. Maple milk. We don't have very often, but it is soo good. Make like you would chocolate milk. Add syrup till it tastes how you like it. #grownostr #bitcoin #buywithbitcoin #lightning #backtobasics #regenerative

Small village rural Ohio. Small schools, small band. They led a procession of veterans from school to cemetery for a memorial program. Villages like this spattered all throughout the US. The United States isn't just cities and suburbs. With more online work availability we could see these rural places pick up traction again. Great places to raise kids. #grownostr #backtoroots
