Good morning.
We have a nice dip to be buying.
Say no to leverage, say yes to sidehustles.
https://i.nostr.build/NwCufnK0IQsO98CP.jpg
With the tariff rumors, scrap metal prices are going up. Got some scrap metal laying around? Does your neighbor have a pile of scrap metal? Go offer to clean it up and haul it off for them.
Got a lawn mower? See if your neighbor needs their lawn mowed this summer.
Got a power washer? Go to an affluent subdivision, knock on some doors, and offer to wash siding or driveways.
Got nothing? Buy some cleaning supplies and a stepladder. Go to that same affluent subdivision, offer to clean windows.
The possibilities are endless. Stay humble. Work hard. Stack Sats.

Here is today's soil profile.
https://i.nostr.build/EqHRl9vLMjEBHH3m.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/Dy2bCHUJiVH8Pbx8.jpg
Deep, dark topsoil with lots of grass roots, but it was very rocky. Then cobbly clay below.
I assigned it a .3 gallon per day per square foot loading rate. So a wastewater system for a 2 bedroom house on this site will require 800 square feet of trench bottom.

Made some progress today.
https://i.nostr.build/bTH8WYN6PqmshC5T.jpg
Cattle waterer mostly installed.
Dug out multiflora rose bushes and cleared Osage orange limbs around the corral and piled them in the massive brush pile in the background.
Had a hydraulic leak on the mini excavator, so one evening this week was spent removing the leaky hose and the next evening reassembling with the replacement hose. Topped off the hydraulic fluid, and changed engine oil while I was at it.

Word around DC today is Trump's new EPA director, Lee Zeldin, plans to drastically narrow the scope of WOTUS.
Some members of our group were invited to attend the announcement. It seems farmers and ranchers will have a seat at the table during this administration. Perhaps the EPA, for now at least, may be less concerned with harassing ranchers about their farm ponds.

Are nickels next?
"The cost to mint a US nickel is currently around 8.52 cents per coin, according to the US Mint's 2022 annual report. This is higher than the face value of the coin, which is 5 cents. The main reason for this discrepancy is the high cost of the metals used to make nickels, particularly nickel and copper."

Texture, structure, water tables, depth to bedrock are the important things, but I also record color, rock content, consistency, shrink/swell, slope, etc.
In the end, I assign a value of how many gallons per day the soil can absorb, and that determines how big the wastewater system must be.

Same idea as a perc test.
What I do is a soil morphology evaluation which in Missouri at least, is preferred since I can provide more information. Whereas a perc test just tells you how fast water infiltrates.
But many lay people refer to what I do as a perc test, so in that sense, yes a perc test.

Spent the morning in the woods.
https://i.nostr.build/5CpaOLwirJw2EecT.jpg
Needed to check the fences in this timber because I'm moving the cows here next. Brought along some tools to deal with any fallen limbs on the fence.
The cattle only spend about one week here per year. This area gets minimal maintenance and has been allowed to get brushy for deer cover. Notice the buck rubs on this trail.
https://i.nostr.build/zUtBcizKAdk2wWzX.jpg
The fence on the north side is down in one place and undercut by the creek in another spot, so I'll put some temporary electric fence in front of it.
This is why farmers have no free time. I had this section of timber clean as a park two years ago, and now look at all the trees down.
https://i.nostr.build/ykkCazZ5FiXUrwBu.jpg
Cleared a path for the wire, and now it's ready to move the cows in.

100% reliable. Recoil is quite manageable. At the time I got it, it was among the thinnest 9mm handguns, but now there are many other options, some with more magazine capacity.
At this point, I've been carrying it daily for several years. It's a good gun.

For this #metaltransmittedbyrelays note, I present Omnium Gatherum.
https://youtu.be/ubmuUiozKyo
Though melodic death metal originated in Sweden, it quickly spread to Finland, and these guys represent the Finnish metal scene very well.
https://youtu.be/gowDWEr5SDY
If you don't generally use the word "beautiful" to describe death metal, then you just haven't heard Omnium Gatherum yet. I discovered them through their New World Shadows album, which is an absolute masterpiece of melodeath.

My experience so far is that the battery percentage indicator is not all that accurate.
I've had a low battery appear to not be charging but after rebooting the board, battery actually had been charging just not showing the charge increase on the screen.

Yep, it really can be this simple.

This is a Heltec V3, in the bit of Styrofoam it ships with, along with a 2000 mAh battery inside an Altoids tin.
Seems to work just fine. Next week, I plan to upgrade it with an external antenna.

This week on #metaltransmittedbyrelays we're going to hear some cheesy power metal. Power metal bands are known for each having their schtick. Usually it's some type of overt fantasy theme.
In tonight's example, it's Norse Mythology.
https://youtu.be/v5yYMjU8xDg
Brothers of Metal is a Swedish band featuring male and female vocals, and a good dose of humor in their lyrics and music videos.

Cellaring tobacco is a fun hobby, and kind of a necessity when you don't smoke enough to use up a bag or a tin before it dries out.

Forked some hay over the fence for the weaned calves.

An Exacto knife, a metal cork- backed ruler, a 5/16" punch, and a couple stitching chisels will get you started with leatherwork.

GN Nostr.
No time for scrolling tonight, I have leather to stitch, pipe tobacco to smoke, and death metal to listen to.
View from the workbench.

This will eventually be my #meshtastic router and be in an elevated position with a large antenna and solar charging.
But for now, just sitting in my kitchen window with a tiny antenna, the signal covers the entire farm and a mile on down the highway.

For this week's #metaltransmittedbyrelays I present Old Forest.

Classic black metal sound, but with quite a lot of clean vocals, and perhaps a slight touch of prog.

Tonight's submission for #pipestr is Missouri Malta.
https://image.nostr.build/2b90733addc4aa443927eea86c741db8fc296e9537af7b1960555eec4708adc5.jpg
It is an aromatic blend from the Missouri Meerschaum Company flavored with 14 different varieties of vanilla.
The paradox of aromatic blends is that everyone in the room smells the flavor that was added to the tobacco, but the smoker often just tastes hot air. But this particular aromatic blend has a mild and pleasant Virginia/Burley tobacco flavor and and a very pleasing vanilla room note that gradually changes as you smoke through the bowl.
Smoking it, fittingly, in a Missouri Meerschaum corncob pipe
It's namesake, The Malta, was a steamboat that sank in the Missouri River and was rediscovered a few years ago buried in a cornfield as the river has shifted since its sinking.

For this week's edition of #metaltransmittedbyrelays we are featuring Amorphis
https://youtu.be/VkfbnFr8piM
Amorphis is a Finnish heavy metal band known for their unique blend of melodic death metal, progressive rock, and folk elements, and for some reason, they seem to be relatively unknown in the US.
https://youtu.be/QP5BxIwLuZ8
Though they use some harsh vocals, they focus mostly on clean lyrics and catchy music, a good gateway band to get someone into melodic death metal.

Good morning, Nostr.
I have returned home after a week in the high desert of New Mexico. Minimal phone service, lots of silence and solitude, several miles walked with a loaded pack. I highly recommend.
https://image.nostr.build/ac7a66d71576f3c5c408ec7fb211d3ff8044985d66c98f155355874790c42081.jpg

Unfortunately, due to unusually warm and dry weather and herd numbers being down in our unit, the elk were not moving and my hunting buddies were unable to fill their tags. Of course, we still had a great time.

Good morning.
I'm currently camped on top of a ridge at 7000 ft in the backcountry of New Mexico, scouting for elk.
https://image.nostr.build/4da952bd8e5b59232ba416e2d7c2b05cc9108d015481c5c9583bf1bd9abaec1f.jpg

Two days of driving to get to our hunting area. Then we started or trip with a night hike under the Northern lights, climbed a rocky, washed out road to the top of the ridge and set up camp for the night.
https://image.nostr.build/d6492dc3b6431e3b12dbececc1fb0f556e38938b8d54d094ff8b4e63aa0b96b2.jpg
Today we will glass this area for elk and decide if we want to stay here or scout elsewhere.
I will be off grid for most of the trip, but since I have phone signal on this ridge, I thought a #gm post was in order.
Don't get too caught up in all the craziness and online drama. Go play outside.

Calves are adjusting well to their new living arrangements. No cows tore down any gates to get back to their calves.
They'll stay confined in this section of the corral for a few more days then they can be let out to the adjacent paddocks.

What happens when guys from four or five different death metal bands hang out together in their spare time?
They start a new gothic rock band, of course.
https://youtu.be/y1PQE6cxXK4
It's time for Metal Transmitted by Relays, and for the past few weeks, we've been deep in the dark depths of extreme metal, so let's hear something a bit more accessible.
Cemetery Skyline is a new band that is compromised of members from well known Death Metal groups Dark Tranquillity, Insomniun, Amorphis, Dimmu Borgir, Sentenced, and others...
but it isn't Death Metal. They're recording their version of 90's and 2000's gothic, which they're calling Nordic Gothic. And it just so happens that they're releasing their album next Friday, October 11th.
