1st post for my 2025 syrup season. I have 14.5 cord of wood ready to go on my outdoor evaporator. (No sugar shack yet) Over Christmas break, I will clean all pans (vinegar and boiling water only) and small repairs on evaporator. @rev.hodl @SweetSats are you getting ready?

For you dad's out there. Introduce your sons to many things. This teenager plays many sports, works in a cannon foundry, doesn't like a all the stuff I have him do., He has started leaning to leatherwork. Here is his makeshift bench with my wallet he made. (yep it's a maple leaf) you never know @Nunya Bidness @ODELL @MartyBent #dad's @Leathermint

This is for RFK Jr. Something came to mind last night.. I teach at a small rural school in Ohio. We graduate around 30 students a year. Just over 500 students for our k12 building. What a great place to run an healthy experiment on school lunches. Get it to be healthy here, and then look at scalability to big schools. Get this out there. @ODELL @The Beef Initiative ⚡️🥩🗝 @Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr @Nunya Bidness

Well, it is good to hear more from people like @RobertKennedyJr , @MeatMafiaBrett and others, that @modernTman , @Ol_Butch and many country folk have known for a long time. Using a mix of tallow and lard to fry turkey again this year. Peanut or shortening is just not the same.

Check out the Christmas bonanza giveaway by @CryptoCloaks™. There will be some of my Homemade Ohio Maple Syrup in there, and also my sister Sarah's handmade tallow soap. I got Sarah a mould this year so the soaps are bitcoins in the giveaway. #bitcoin #homestead #circulareconomy

Been off for awhile. Relays shifted all over couple months ago so I put down Amethyst. Will start back up soon.

Making breakfast today (yes maple breakfast sausage and pancakes with maple syrup) and my view from kitchen was a sunrise like I've never seen. #grownostr

That time of year in NW Ohio. My small rural school that graduates 25-35 kids each year had drive your tractor to school today. Now if these youngins can find the way to farm how their great grandpa's did it, they can start a transition back to sustainability. @nunyabidness @beefinitiative @ODELL How does the movement start to educate the youth with this much invested in conventional equipment.?

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
