Gm npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan The most undervalued thing in the world isn't Bitcoin. It's a simple quite life! npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan I don't just custody my Bitcoin.

Fiat business is about gaming the tax code, regulator motes, arbitrage, etc. BTC restores the natural order. I consider myself a Bitcoin business. I'm offering an ordinary service but I stack Bitcoin. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Son (4) : What is this wood for, Dad? Me: A bathhouse. Son (4) : Oh! Cool. I'll help you build it, Dad. It will be like old time. Daughter (6) : That's not what "old times" is. "Old times" if when you are a teenager but you did something a lot of day ago. Son (4) : No it's not. Daughter : Yes it is. Son : *Thinking* Ok. Me: *Big smile* npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Gm nostr!

Houses are a durable consumer at best. They aren't very durable anymore though. I'm counting down the days until real estate bros have to take this medicine. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan It's a lovely rainy day in TN! Im working from home today and I'm just basking in my family. Ambient piano music on, playing in the rain, coloring, reading. Feeling very grateful but also nervous. I'm beginning a pivot away from construction starting today. I love building but I'm come to accept it's kinda a single man's game and old man's game because of the long hours and travel. I'm still going to continue some small projects (and obviously I'm building almost every day at our property) but I'm going to be actively seeking some remote work so I can stay on the homestead. Prayers needed but trusting that a short term pay cut is a worthwhile sacrifice to reset my career. https://blossom.primal.net/5013c0224d7152137b20f2606772753b9dd1d9e081d24c0b2c36e0c564aa1d15.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/3fab2a316bd62212b23da98be8e0ba16fe75523e6f2ddbcafd2a96b27044a3ed.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/d6064492eb9f17223507791e8cdafdd6cd75e3cc46c5c06e5db44f57c73f652c.jpg npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Thanks, brother! This means a lot to me... npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Money printing is an attempt to fork reality. If the government is the highest power in your belief system, it is a convincing illusion. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan I'm not sure if you are familiar with rivets but if you drill a small hole in the upholstery, you could use rivets and get a mechanical connection instead of an adhesive connection. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Good morning, nostr! Woke up to my kids already adventuring. The world is a magical place filled with hope. Don't let fiat propaganda convince you otherwise. https://blossom.primal.net/27ab396208ece6cd7776050331d0cbfda4f5dfa161f26d7da971e9c34772b4d1.jpg npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Internet people are so enmeshed in the fiat matrix, they are unaware of vast swaths of humanity wherein people live balanced normal lives. A gaming term that has made its way into our vernacular is NPCs [non-playable characters]. This is a derogatory label. Programmed villagers that wander around doing and saying the same 6 things. This has become a paradox to me: I'm fascinated by the NPCs of this world. I think they are often more interesting than the "heroes". It seems the successful white-collar suburbanite, tech mogul, or influencer are the IRL characters that are as predictable as video game NPCs. They are completely possessed by the algorithms. They all say and do the same things. Conversely, visit a dive bar in the middle of nowhere or a remote village, the people are characters straight out of an adventure novel. I think often about how most of my childhood hero's were people who gave up everything in order to achieve a goal. I don't mean this positively. We think about these types of people as the "main characters" of culture and while their accomplishments are admired, the "everything" of sacrifice often includes marriages, families, friendships, health, and spiritual vibrancy. G.K. Chesterton said, "The most extraordinary thing in the world is an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary children." It's the little places and people of the world that are enchanting to me. Natural beauty, authentic people, simple living, and plenty of insulation for algorithmic degeneracy. I am in disciplined pursuit of simplicity, serenity, quiet strength, and connection to God. I get more pleasure from a cool fall morning, a cup of coffee, the giggles of my children, and the warmth of my wife than the most lavished morning in a exotic luxury hotel. Maybe this makes me a fool, but I'd rather be a joyous fool than a miserable "success". I'd rather be so sensitive that I'm overwhelmed by life's magic than be so indulgent I grow numb. I've done both. If you feel this way, too, you are not alone, and we are in good company. Don't be gaslit into selling your soul. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Tell me more about this! npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Let the wild rumpus begin! npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan GN Nostr!

This is true. When they are really young it is tough at time. But with teen children help to alleviate this. Just have to keep pumping them out. 😆 npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in love and meaning. 😆 npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan It does take a lot of upfront work but it has been such a joy! I'm trying to soak it up but I can't wait until they are all young adults. I daydream about the things they will be capable of. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Fiat economics turn everything on their head. It really sucks that so many young people are disgusted by children. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Yep! They interact and they watch after each other too. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Absolutely enchanting foggy morning in TN today. Can't get enough.

The sats are nice but not why I share my life on here. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Tennessee sky is crazy during rainstorms in the summer! I love it. These clouds were so big they made me dizzy to look up at. It's almost looks like AI 😆 npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan She isn't even 10 yet. But even our 5 year old has chores! npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan New friends regularly learn we have 6 kids and comment, "I don't know how you do it". I'll let my nostr friends in on a little secret. Kids don't have to be a burden. Our culture keeps people infantilised into their thirties now. This is my young daughter. Every day she walks across our property, fetches our goats, milks them, filters the milk, cleans up, and brings it home, rain or shine. You want to know the craziest part... She loves it and takes pride in it. Everyone in our household has responsibilities from a young age. If you ever read this, I'm proud of you , baby! Daddy always loves you. https://blossom.primal.net/cda0559ce34d02a68bb95cb82546ce3f8d0649f4b24c4ef099a8a676cf6d5b9b.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/88d277d4279899d8404bf3ab12f337431790b05e05eaa209378d657870460b22.jpg npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Being connected to the sky is really important. https://blossom.primal.net/e5345ab389c0cf56bcdadc33aae0542cd3bfdb54f08308fc073416e48f463ace.jpg npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Quick photo dump!

The were the first know touring African American country duo in a time and place when this was frankly probably dangerous. This originally scared my grandmother but my grandfather was so charming, funny, and shrewd he would often win over the crowds. I've been counter cultural and uninterested in race bating long before I knew this information. It's in my DNA! Wish I could have better used the little time I had with them. Don't let your relationships with your grands atrophy. There is a lot to be gained from understand your roots. https://blossom.primal.net/c9ed0a833b7667cc093adfdc6d8200249b9e3aaf74e920574e734bfb187d3fc6.jpg npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Fact check. Millennials will inherit 90 trillion dollars worth of ongrid shit-box mcmansions recently refi-ed at a 6% interest rate that need $100k worth of complex repairs. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan I'm not one to take music recommendations off social media but this randomly came up on one of my radio stations today and it is an awesome album! npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan I listened too! A ton of potential there npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Gm nostr!

Always so good to see you on my feed. Love and peace! npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan It's tough to see them lose a little bit of their innocence but they are so much more resilient than I could have imagined. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Thanks, friend! They are my whole heart. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan In my opinion, fiat economics has successfully destroyed the nuclear family in America. There are certainly still strong families but it is such an uphill battle, it's only a matter of time before there arent many. Our cities used to be built around church and family, now it's the Almighty bank. Hopefully BTC can return balance to the force. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Wow... This is kinda heavy. Thank you for sharing. I actually understand the fear that made them hide the truth from you. I was just praying the whole time that my kids wouldn't be overly traumatized. I've never seen them cry like that. But the following days have been amazing. They readjusted in a day or two and it has really brought us together and instigated some really good heart to heart convos. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Thanks for sharing, friend! And good advice. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan This whole thing has really made me reflect on my death as well. When I saw them crying it struck me that one day they will do this for me. Wrapping her body was haunting. Very surreal. There isn't enough said about death and dying well. Cheers 🍻 npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Thank you for the comment, friend! npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan In seasons of my life when life has lost it's wonder, their purity and joy carries me. Watching them grow has really has helped me see the world through the eyes of a child again. People describe ego death and all I can think about is how they are describing raising children. npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Successful Sunday! Today was a rest day for the family but we did build our picnic table on accident. https://blossom.primal.net/c6a20932d62e594956cf25162004b4d6c6383d920bd989d997f5fe19b471d83c.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/f1e743d0d743abdc3468713e61b09e6a468277f9ec6c9391c2bf21451657f962.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/6aebf3274dabcd1a9476939b4fb1dd91782f92ba7b6cf4d3c60f8bb33b531bb5.jpg npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Our family cat passed away the day before yesterday. I wanted to share a few takeaways. Honestly, I wasn't attached to the cat, but this was the first time I witnessed my kids collectively grieving, and it hit me hard. I tried to make a little video about this, but kept getting choked up. When my wife called me on the phone to tell me, all I could hear was wailing in the background. When I returned to the property, I assumed that I would have to hold the household together for a little while. What I found surprised me. The kids were comforting each other... It absolutely overwhelmed me with emotion. Any of them could have been overwhelmed, but they were ok together. They had each other. When I brought the cat to its grave, they lost it, but despite their usual content fighting, they naturally held each other. After the burial, my youngest boy was having a moment, and the oldest daughter got herself together enough to hold him and tell him, "It's ok, you did such a good job feeding her every day." 😫 Family is so important when life is hard. It doesn't have to be blood, but protect what family you have at all costs. Our fiat society wants nothing less than the dissolution of the nuclear family, and I understand why. It is such a a powerful bulwark against hopelessness. We must build, protect, and heal our families!

People always lose me with marriage advice at the "therefore". People will make a true statement and say "therefore" x, as of the true statement naturally implies the "ought".

I have grown to love the hike out to the main road. It is probably the most peaceful and still part of my week. The moon is so bright when there isn't artificial light everywhere.

I often forget this. Even a poor child with a strong family is going to live a richer life, in my opinion, than some upper middle class kid that realistically spends less than 5 hours a week with their parents. I'm happy for them to come crash my projects anytime. The whole reason I work so hard is for them in the first place, they aren't in my way. I even take the boys with me to work from time to time. Just so they can SEE what a workday looks like. That's something I never got a closeup on when I was young. #dadlife #growstr #nostr #homestead #offgrid https://blossom.primal.net/305b0d35555e7eff28c416fb0a656fbcf68eb7357194de466c44df635f12cb0e.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/9832ca80d5a613d73f26bca8b50b7c1cc9a7bfd18e8b5feec053981802cd782a.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ecec3596ef16cd0bb8b65d6b2852891c95d80096a319b560ddf613b7bc0f2879.jpg npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Kindred spirits https://blossom.primal.net/053dfaa209563e8e2dabfd555574b24674d912125e2b605eb151e424589959c8.jpg npub1shx59c4qs0fnyxld5z7l3jxncgjxc7fddt6dhgdqevrkzrn0y9esrc5a3z jordan Interesting!
