GM🔥 Last Monday we had an addition to our place.: A horse. We've been calling him Willy, William, and sometimes Blake. The name they gave him at the rescue was Blake. Now he's associated with William Blake, the great 18th century English poet Blake had this to say about horses: "The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction." Last night, we learned while sharing ice cream together, our oldest son and his wife will be having a baby. Another addition to our place. The transition from parent to grandparent begins. I'm looking forward to it. With it comes more eccentricity and opining. Something I always admired in my grandparents, though not at the time of course. That's it for now. It's Sunday. A day off from the mail trail. All of the family is here in the house. I'm going to go savior it before we're off to do this or that. I hope you have a great Sunday.🙏 Morning Fire 168 3.29.26 #gm #coffeechain

Our home will look like this in a couple months. Looking forward to it. #countryliving #soul

6AM. GM🔥 It's Saturday. I wrote Friday, then deleted it. It's my last day, then two days off. Looking forward to spending time with family at home. The fire in the photo is about burned down. I'm going to rake the coals into a pile, shut the doors, and close the damper off. Let it heat the brick, rock, and mortar that contains it. It's 18 out there. Then it's out to start the mail jeep. Let it warm up 5 minutes, then off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great weekend! Morning Fire 167 3.28.26 #gm #coffeechain

GM Nostr🔥 It's 23 at 6AM. I'm in Springbrook Township in Northwest Wisconsin. I'm in front of Morning Fire 166. I stacked Sats at 66K this morning. I wanted to stack more than I did, but was afraid I'd overdraw our bank account. I put a check in the night deposit last night. I didn't know what would go through first: the withdrawal from Strike or the deposit. Despite the cool temps things are waking around here. Annie was out checking the native seedlings behind the house yesterday. They're emerging in the plug trays. Saw a flock of robins and redwing blackbirds on the baseball diamond in Earl. That's it for now. Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day! 3.27.26 #gm #coffeechain

Good morning 🔥 Stacked Sats at 69K this morning. When it drops into the 60's I'm ready to search the couch cushions. Off to the mail trail. 📬 Morning Fire 165 3.26.26 #gm #coffeechain

Good morning 🔥 The present exists to repair the past and prepare the future. ~ Persian quote Off to the mail trail soon. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 164 3.25.26 #gm #coffeechain #soul

GM. Fire 163 burning bright and hot this morning. . Stacked at 71K this AM. May Bitcoin stay decentralized and secure. 🙏 Back to the mail trail. Hope you have a great day! 3.24.26 #gm #coffeechain

7:23 AM. GM Nostr🔥 Another day off from the mail trail. I stacked at 70K this morning. When I went to bed it was at 68K. I thunbed through Facebook for maybe a minute this morning. An influencer posted there is a 5 day ceasefire in Iran. He said the markets reacted immediately after the announcement. Oil dropped, etc. Maybe that's why Bitcoin is up. That doesn't matter so much to me. Conviction that it is the best currency in the world does. So I keep stacking despite the noise. I hope you have a great day.

Every time I come across this I say: Yes. It feels easy. That, I've learned at my fatherly 51, is a good indicator. #soul #quotes #homeschool

Good morning 🔥 A day off from the mail trail. Spent the last hour scrolling through Facebook and X. Something I usually don't do first thing in the morning. It never sets a good tone for the day. All I can say is that I am very thankful for this fire in front of me. A familiar 20 year ritual. And why I keep hearing influencers tell me to go outside and touch grass. Information without context is disorienting as hell. Off to reorient and focus on what matters. I hope you have a great day. #gm #coffeechain Morning Fire 161 3.22.26

"There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is the language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists." ~ Derrick Jensen, A Language Older Than Words (2000) Photo credit of raccoon track in mud: Daniel Hubatch #quotes #wildnature

Good morning 🔥 3.21.26 #gm #coffeechain

Good morning 🔥🔥🔥 Stacked Sats at 85K last year today. Today at 70K. There's a zen to this. Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 160 3.20.26 #gm #coffeechain

I pick up a book that reminds me I have a soul. It's Rumi. I leave for the mail trail holding these lines: "What's unlucky is not to change and disappear. This way leads through humiliation and contempt." Here's to being born again . . . and again. Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 158 3.19.26 #gm #coffeechain #soul

From the mail trail: The Namekagon River in Earl, WI. The power of place. #rivers #wisconsin #countryliving

GM🔥 Back to the mail trail today. Cold out there . Just below zero. Looking forward to warmer days by the end of the week. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 157 3.17.26 #gm #coffeechain

We adopted a horse yesterday. It's for our daughter Sophia (13 yrs. old). She had her heart set on two, but could only have one. Leading up to adoption day she painted portraits of them, then donated them. It was a good day. 3.17.26 #horses #countryliving #daily

GM Nostr🔥 Stacked Sats at 73K this morning. George Bodine writes on X: ---- "The fiat hampster wheels drive your life. Puts you on a treadmill built around inflation and a system of money created by debt based credit creation. "Bitcoin let's you step off. To escape. "In a few years we will see endless stories of people moving to where they want to be, creating their own jobs doing purposeful work that has meaning. "And the headlines will include Bitcoin." ---- I hope so. I don't know if I will quit delivering mail, but I want it to be as easy as possible if I decide to. I hope others have this option, too. I also hope you have a great day. :-) Morning Fire 156 3.16.26 #gm #coffeechain

I have stepped out into the blizzard. Done snowing, just blowing. That might be all we get after the long blizzard build up.
