Was going to clean taps, but the mapletrade family getting ready for total eclipse. Supposed to be partly cloudy in Ohio, but it's pretty sunny. Sitting and relaxing and first day for yard games.

5 a m in Ohio on a Saturday. Pulling taps and gathering buckets to be picked up later. Track meet today so I had to do early work. luckily as a teacher, 28 yrs ago, I got my bus license to help my small rural school, and my kids school hired me to drive the track meets, so I get to watch my 9th and 10th grader boys run and get paid for it. These extra jobs I pick up get turned to sats. #bitcoin #hardwork #grownostr #homesteading

Making some bone broth today for my sore throat. Ramps are popping up in the woods. they are small but ready to go. My woods are filled with them, they last about a month or two and don't store well. enjoy em while I got em. #foodstr #grownostr #permaculture #homesteading

Today is my last day of maple sap collection for the season. weather broke and trees look ready to bud.. I turn buckets upside-down so small amounts of sap don't drop in and then sour/mold before I collect and clean them. I collected almost 7000 gallons of sap in buckets and bags this year. a bucket will fill in about 8 hours when sap is running. #grownostr #permaculture #circulareconomy #foodstr

My nostr followers are catching up, and should surpass my twitter followers in the next month. 4 yrs vs 1 year. LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! #grownostr #circulareconomy #bitcoin bitcoin #permaculture #foodstr

GM nostr. Proof of work for my sats for syrup. 5 a.m. in Ohio here and I just got fire going.. Had a great sap run and have to boil as much as possible today on my wood fired homemade evaporator. Cutting wood also today while I boil because I'm running low. Believe it or not the maple syrup industry is also commercialized. Tubing in woods, blending syrups, natural gas or fuel oil burners, pressure filters with diatomaceous earth, and if you ever see "spicy syrup" or "bourbon aged syrup" it's cause they take their worst syrup and add a strong flavor to it and market it. I'm old school and still boil outside over wood. Each 5-10 gallon batch has its own unique characteristics. Message me if interested, prices in my profile and I prefer BTC. #permaculture #grownostr #foodstr #bitcoin

I have MAPLE SYRUP orders I'm trying to ship, but the sap keeps running. Heavy boil tonight and tomorrow. I'll get them packed this weekend and sent out.

Doesn't look that cold. ramps are coming up and collecting sap for my maple syrup. It's 32 and dropping, getting to 20 tonight. I'm not a big "hat guy" but in the winter I am a beanie guy. Just arrived, a replacement for my stealth bitcoin hat from @bitcoinhatguy His barter for maple syrup is on its way. Enjoy and share.

Still boiling maple sap here in Ohio. I will finish the season in a week. This is the last sap run. I did get some filtered and bottled. I have my prices for Maple Syrup posted on my profile. shipping is included in price. Just message me. #grownostr #bitcoin #permaculture

GM, my family has issues. I eat pancakes 3 or 4 times a year. Wife, 2 kids and I had them this morning. The cup was full when we started. Homemade maple syrup is the best, but I'm gonna have to work all day to work that out of my system. Get your own, prices in my profile, and then message me. #grownostr #bitcoin $circular economy
