I have received my mail in ballot
By using a mail in ballot you have essentially given up on the political system in such a way that you have become unbendable and closed to events that can happen from now until election day.
Unless you have the absolute necessary need to use these ballots, you should get to your polling place on the day of the election.
No employer can prevent you from voting, no polling place is too far.
All party's are more than happy to give you a lift to your nearest polling place and as an American you should vote.
If not for the team, at least to have your name crossed off the ledger that says "I Voted"
In this way, nobody can use your address or name if you didn't use your voting right during election day. I have had my vote stolen before in the 2008 election.
Don't trust the mail in ballot, even when they give you the message "Your vote has been counted"
If you prefer to use your mail in ballot, I challenge you...
also put $500 "cash" in a seperate envelope and send it to yourself via the USPS.

Help!!!!
Got the #ColdCard to upgrade from my #Ledger and now I'm freaking confused about all this #UTXO consolidation, moving my #Sats to the #Blockchain and all the yada, yada, yada...
The new software (Sparrow wallet) and the learning curve to achieve the new security for my #Bitcoin is overwhelming for my busy schedule.
So! Somebody please direct me to the ColdCard for #Dummies, UTXO for Dummies and/or the How do I not lose all my Bitcoin site. So I don't fuck this up!!
ah!! the weekend
my next 2 #blogs will be about #Golfing at Ridgemark Golf Course in Hollister Ca. and how I am going to transform this fish tank into an #Aquaponics setup to grow some #Vegetables next to my other Planting table during the winter.
lot's of things to consider.
I got the lighting and mediums to use, but I think I'm going to struggle with temperature fluctuations since this is an uninsulated tough shed.
some ideas I have are to run a server in the shed to provide heat, but that would be unregulated and tough to control.
I have a small space heater but concerned about the safety of running it fulltime.
always something to research and learn.
happy weekend everyone

well... first, the answer is No.
I have some lucky goldfish out in the pond to contribute the minerals and nutrients to the medium.
second. I need heat in the shed (air) to support the above medium growth.
i have side lights for the tank to sustain the fish and maybe a couple of water plants.
still researching
When you scoff at my posts, I want to make it perfectly clear.
I was raised by a middle class family of hard working people. We were proud of our lawns, our construction workers, nurses and teachers.
We looked at the passage of time where we were unfettered by the past and past was unfettered by time that past us in the passage of time.
We don't go back, nor do we look back, because you can't see back to go or can you go to look at the back from where we came from because where we came from is the place where we look .........
Revamping the shed for the winter growing season because I don't have a greenhouse.

(2) 7-11 coffee cabinets and and old solid core door for a tabletop to hold the heating pads and growing trays.
I'll do some quick turn #vegetables from now until January and then start my 2025 tomatoes and peppers.
I got a aquaponics setup also, that I will show you in future posts.

Myth Busted!!!
I have been told several times to "not" put citrus in my #compost pile.
I put literally 100 lbs in my pile this season.
They said it would kill the #Vermicompost (worms)
Nope! Got literally thousands of red wrigglers.
They said my compost would be Acidic
Nope! 7.0 almost perfect
Disclaimer...
My compost pile was as diverse of materials than most.
Kitchen Scraps, Lawn Clippings, dry leaves, Cardboard (Amazon) and some Chicken poop every now and then to heat it up.
Just make sure you turn the pile every 3 days, keep it moist and you should be fine.
But! Always test your compost for PH. Most plants hate acidic soil.

It doesn't matter the political ideology, social stance or mental stability of someone who attempts to take the life of another.
The fact is. It was an attempt, that thank God failed.
Was was the motive?
We will probably never know except that this person wanted President Trump to die. Plain and simple.
It's too bad that one spectator died and a couple of others were wounded in the attempt.
In the next couple of days we will start to hear the "what we know" about the shooters life, social media presence and political slant, but I ask you. Does that really matter?
Although I am shocked at some of comments I see. I can only surmise that President Trump personally did something to hurt these people.
I myself have never heard a word from president Trump and frankly president Trump has never done "anything" that affected my life.
We joke, we opine and we spread rhetoric like wildfire and when reality comes crashing down, it's uneducated comments and pure hatred that oozes through to the surface and we can remove those influences out of our life.
The cream will rise to the surface of pure milk and the crap will sink to the depths of the murky waters.
Guess you have to figure out whether you are Cream or Crap...

#Compost myth?
#Citrus kills #Worms
Citrus in your compost @jackspirko
it could be the diverse amount of compostables I put in my bin and perhaps when the compost is finish a test will find that soil is acidic
however the issue is the amount of worms (red wigglers and night crawlers) I found dispersed exactly where I put pounds upon pounds of old citrus peels and rotted fruit.
Pill bugs, beatles, earwigs, worms. everything thriving.
I will also grant you that this is a cold pile, not a traditional #Bioreactor and I finish a pile once a season.
So... Citrus in your compost pile kills your vermiculture?
apparently not, but the quality of the compost remains to be seen
I do have traditional worm bins and I do not put citrus in those.

you cannot reason with a child as an adult and by the observations of how children react in public places and against each other, it shows that appropriate spankings and appropriate discipline is lacking in the family unit.
THIS MEANS WAR!
Good Morning #Primates
I usually reserve Saturday morning for #reflections on the past week and drinking a great cup of #coffee to start my day.
But today I will be contemplating #war
Being a peaceful soul has been my mantra for most of my life, but today I must face the consequences of my actions.
When I decided to become an #organic #Gardener I took on the responsibility of protecting my soil and environment in order to produce the best food for my family.
This involved the suspended use of pesticides, poisons and other nasty products that kill the natural curve of our #ecosystem
I no longer use all the popular products against bugs and pests and frankly, I can handle the bugs but!!!
I cannot handle the critters and that critter is #mice and #rats
They have just recently entered my attic and I have found the entrance to their lair.
Tonight! Equipped with my trusty pellet rifle I will lie in wait for their appearance.
I know their pattern, time and route.
What I can't get with my gun, I will attempt to kill with snap traps.
Souls... I try to live and let live, but they are very destructive and I cannot let them live in my home with me.
Tonight! I become the #Hunter

Good Day! #Primates
missed yesterday's #Coffee review of Colockum Craft Coffee and today will be the last two reviews on the last 2 coffees I received in my sample pack.
so! #coffeechain peeps, listen up.
SmokeJumper and Elk Camp are the two dark bean coffees that in my opinion have suttle differences in tastes but as I said before I am no coffee aficionado.
Both of these blends were very satisfying and completed the task at hand which is coffee satisfaction.
my Final analysis of my sampling of Colockum Craft Coffee is...
They're all good! I didn't find one brew that I didn't like.
My Favorite?

Tuesday brings the dark beans into play anf today I have a cup of "SmokeJumper"
I love dark coffee! I love the kick, I love the taste and the boldness of a good dark roast.
When you open the bag and look inside. You know you're in for a treat!
The grind brings the coffee to life and the brew.... De bes!!!
A nice strong flavor that fills the palate with all the flavors infiltrated into the recipe.
This is a Coffee that screams
I AM COFFEE! ENJOY ME!

Reecer Creek is the #coffee of the day from Colockum Craft Coffee that is filling my cup.
As I return to the office on Monday I opted for a coffee with a little more punch and the medium dark roast is not disappointing at all.
This one has slight hint of chocolate but milder than the Woodsman.
I'm pretty sure that this one would be great with a small addition of your favorite whiskey for an additional bite or maybe a little Harvey's

however, the day never starts out without a great cup of #Coffee and for all you #coffeechain peeps out there. I am sampling Colockum Craft Coffee @5lēstäk
Today, I am sampling "again" my first ever purchase back a year ot two ago of "The Ridge"
it's another medium roast and it's bolder aroma and bite than the Woodsman with a straight to the point coffee flavor which both in my opinion have their places in your coffee rotation.
Well! it's off to the first chore of the day. replacing the hubs and bearings on my camping trailer, various garden chores and picking up Mom for the week.

within the next 2-5 years, my wife and I will be relocating from California to a friendlier political climate.
fact is that we just want to be left alone (by the government), develop #friendships with real people who share virtues and morals like: #freethinking #selfreliance #freedom #sustainabilty just to name of few.
let's get real... #California refugees are getting a bad name by fleeing the state and bringing their horrendous politics with them, but my wife and I just want to live our senior years in #peace
some of our choices will be someplace as close to the climate we live in (long shot) but we know why people stay in California.
Other necessities are a #Musicscene #Baseball #Mountains #Healthcare #Recreation #Gardening #Homesteading
So! #Tennesee #Texas #Arizona #SouthCarolina #NorthCarolina and other #States with #Terrain
