 Say what you will about the Israelis, but they are ingenious.

Getting exploding pagers into the hands of your enemies is quite a task. I'm just waiting for all the sodastreams to start detonating.

Active day at fiat mines and then a weights session in the afternoon. I was feeling tired after the drive home, but pushed through, glad I did it. Feeling strong lately.

 Anyone want to explain what’s wrong with coinbase? Why shouldn’t I use it? 
 The only reason not to use it is the kyc requirements. If you want ₿,  and you don't care if everyone knows, then it's fine. Strike is also a good option.

25 minute run after a day of walking at work. 2.5 hours of driving across the day, but the fiat wants what the fiat wants.

 You can get some decent food at Aussie pubs, I've had some great stuff in the UK too.
Our local recently was voted 'Best Chicken Schintty' in South Australia, so we're getting somne good grub.  
 My dad ate a meat pie with a dead mouse in it, sometime in the 70's. Got half way through the mouse before he twigged.

Bushwalk with the kids this morning. Chilly, but lots of spring wild flowers out. The yellow flower had a tiny spider just chilling on it.

Spent the arvo pruning and training grapevines and changing the chooks bedding.

 There's many I've never seen before, very interesting.  
 Definitely a spider, was a bit windy and not a clear pic. 
 Yes! My daughter, in particular, loves Top Gear and The Grand Tour. When they aired the last episode and said goodbye she cried, I got a little emotional too. They did some fantastic shows over the years.

James May's travel show is good, we enjoyed that.  
 Cool, we've avoided clarksons farm, as my wife doesn't like him. I'll give it a go.

 I know a few people who lived in, and escaped from, communist countries. They hated it, but a lot of people they knew liked being given free shit, not working and snitching on people. Hard working, honest people seem to dislike living under communism.

 The Tooth Fairy Guild around these parts is paying our two about 20k 丰 per tooth.

Wet and cold day. Made some sauerkraut in preparation for Oktoberfest and a 5km bushwalk in the afternoon.

After a meal at the local pub with the kids, we watched Alpha. It's a great film, suitable for kids, about a neolithic boy befriending a wolf, becoming a man, surviving. And they use a reconstructed proto-indoeuropean language, which is fascinating.

 That would be a cool night out, but you'd always be looking over your shoulder for the hit man.

I've gone full Kevin McCallister, home alone tonight as the kids are having sleepovers and the wife is at work. This is the first time in, possibly, ten years I've been without any of my family at home and it feels weird.

Did an 18 hour fast today and walked across town to drop off my son's things to his friends house, adding to my walk at the fiat mines. Tired and alone 😂, time for bed. GN

#grownostr 
 Always.

40 minute weights workout, first one in a while due to some back issues, then work in the garden for the afternoon. Had the day off, allowed me to gsd for myself and the homestead.

The flower is one of my wifes favourites, it's a succulent called Pigface. This particular one I liberated from the Flinders Ranges last time we were up there. It produces these large and very bright flowers.

 The plant is edible, so I'd assume the flower is too. I've only ever eaten the stems.

Physically demanding day at the fiat mines, lots of walking, still managed a 25 minute run in the afternoon. Looking forward to some well earned sleep.

 At a site yesterday I found a bee swarm under a roof overhang. After reporting it to the office, thinking they would call a beekeeper, I returned to find a Groundskeeper just casually blasting the area and bees with a big tub of poison.

I don't get people who deal with problems like that, just poison everything, kill everything, destroy a swallow nest because it's in the rafters and made of mud. This is the problem, because most people think exactly like that.

Busy day at the fiat mines and I managed an hour of walking on top, feeling tired but happy with the day.

5km walk tonight after the fiat mines, one of my regular routes out of town and back, through bush and farmland.

Final levelling and laying of a thick layer of mulch, the aim is to create a more usable outdoor space, connected to our courtyard and house, to use in spring and summer.

It was hard yakka, taking most of the day. 
Now for some seating and replanting of bee attracting flowers and herbs for the kitchen.

 The photos don't really do this blossom justice, it's magnificent. I'm not saying I'm going to look at it, say "perfect!", and then commit seppuku, like at the end of The Last Samurai, but it's enjoyable to look at.

 Yes, I thought I'd dodged that, but he turned up. Fun.

Lots of cleaning around the house, my wife has night shifts all weekend, so it's dad in charge.
Spent the afternoon prepping outside, more clearing and levelling of soil, ready for mulch laying tomorrow. If all goes well it should be looking good by the afternoon.

Managed a walk at work and then a short afternoon of yard work, nearly ready to start laying the mulch. Looking forward to the weekend and some time to gsd.

 A woman I work with apologetically asked me the other day, if it had any particular dietary requirements.

Her query was due to me eating the same thing at work every day, an egg and a sandwich made with local mustard pickle,  cheese and low carb, high protein bread.

I wanted to tell her it was because I'm an autistic retard, but I went with the other reason, that I'm keto. 😂 She had noticed my bizarre eating habits and had never heard of keto.

#keto #grownostr  
 😂 that's how set in my ways I am, I've never thought of that. I'll have to try that, my wife makes an awesome curried egg. 
 They almost always have them at that site, but I've been able to reject sugar without much thought since I went keto.

A decent run and some walking earlier in the day at the fiat mines. My neck is a bit out after the last few days, the run helped. 
Take care of yourselves out there.

 These are the actions of a future serial killer  
 Years ago, every week I drove past properties for sale in the mountains that were 100-2000 acres.... 
 I've been working on that here in Aus for years, trying to get my brother and friends involved. Finally one of my friends is now looking real hard and making offers on land. I'm now not in the best position to jump in, but the idea is going. Hopefully it'll be a little freedom reserve. 
 SA 
 There is certainly a lot to deal with and agree on. I'm lucky that most of what my friend and I want are the same. Pity I'm not in a position to join him if he buys right now.  
 You reckon he'll sign me up for some indentured servitude? He'd probably like that.  
 I’m new here. The word on the street is #grownostr will help people see this… let’s see.

 My kids will watch the same film repeatedly anyway, so you may as well own it on DVD 😂

Much lighter day today, by design, as I'm feeling sore after days of heavy work. Managed to get a walk in at the fiat mines and that was enough, feeling less sore already.
