 Classic. Our 8 kids all loved that one. 👊🏼

 A 50mm prime is a fabulous lens. 
 Ah nuts! 
 Adorable! His smile and eyes are the mirror image of yours Carla. 
 It was a beautiful start to the day in Glacier National Park!

That’s the mantra.

 Correct. The relentless cannot be defeated because they just keep coming back. 
 Words are not violence. Violence is violence.

 I have only been on one date in my life and it was painful. happy i never have to do that again. ... 
 Best advice ever from a man married to his wife for 50+ years… “continue to date your wife long after you make her yours.” 
 Yo who’s got hot sauce recommendations? 

Looking for something with both good heat and good fl... 
 My daily hot sauce is Try Me brand Yucatán Sunshine. The habanero heat is good, but not overpowering. The flavor is amazing. https://image.nostr.build/be9229f6f70e1cbcae6aa1ed643209646478de6c7df79725b4c013aa51fcd064.jpg  
 My first one too, circa 2000. Good times. 
 Happy Halving everyone! The future is bright. What an amazing time to be alive. It will yet be years, perhaps decades, before most understand what we do. May it be said of us that we stood for liberty and eschewed the vanities of fiat.

 Same. Missed it by one. Children are worth it though. 
 Idolatry of Ideology nostr:note134u2qx592q02vdwgcq9v844fgnhyje45ktnqvsu6v7lpgt39s44q6chnfv 
 Exactly. Sacrificing principle to dogma. 
 💯 I sprinkle coarse kosher salt in the pan, use a paper towel to scrub the dirty pan surface until the pan, brush out the salt, and rinse the pan. Then apply a thin coat of olive oil and wipe away the excess. 👍🏼 
 Happy birthday! 🎂 
 Yes ma’am! 🤘🏼

 Love that dramatic, yet calming backdrop. 😍 
 She’s a beauty! Well done. Nothing worth doing is ever easy. Thanks for sharing the personal story behind your project. 
 31 days no alcohol. 
 Well done. Carry on! 💪🏼 
 I’m at the point where I’ve decided I’m not going let rain dictate my life. Pouring harder ... 
 All who live in the PNW eventually come to this same place… or they move. Living in B.C. taught me that rain is liquid sunshine, it’s good for you, don’t resent it, just embrace it. Did you know the Hawaiians use over 200 words to describe rain, each one having a unique meaning? 
 One of my favorite hikes on the planet is the Moanalua Valley Trail. Very similar views from the ridge. We had one day to hike it during our stay on Oahu. Wore spikes, used trekking poles, made it to the top despite rain and wind. We were a muddy mess by the time we reached the summit! We opted to climb down the stairs for safety because hiking up took way longer than expected and it started getting dark. Some saintly Uber driver shuttled us and our mucky gear at 11pm from Kaneohe to where we left the car on the other side of the Ko’olau. (We were so grateful! Tipped him double the ride fare.) Slept like a baby that night and hopped a flight over to Kauai the next morning. What a memory! 😅 
 Not yet. There are so many amazing looking hikes on the island. I want to do them all! 
 Actually, we did do Kalaulau to Hanakapi’ai Beach and then hiked to the falls and back. That was another great trail. Swimming in the pool below the falls was refreshing! 
 Sundays hit different now 
 Sundays are my favorite. Time spent with my wife and children is equal parts chaos and rejuvenating. 😂 
 Hey #Nostr fam! How are you guys? 
I had a mini digital detox at a Monastery in the Georgian moun... 
 Not much. You, however, were missed. 😊 Welcome back! 
 I’m so sorry for your loss @jack. Brothers are brothers forever, we just have to be patient until that reunion. I hope the memories you have of the good times together comfort you and your family right now. 
 no way there’s a nft parade float… 
 Yep. 🤮 

How many sats to crowdfund a Little HODLer float? 🤔 That would rock! 
 A few days ago I had lunch with nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9... 
 In. 🤙🏼 
 Headed to the tropics in a week. Can’t wait! 😍 
 What’s your Friday night looking like? 
 Helping my 11yo daughter with math. 😆 
 As parents, we can teach the importance of putting God first when we discuss the first commandment, but we model it when we set aside worldly distractions and keep the Sabbath day holy every week. - Valeri Cordōn #GeneralConference 
 We are most receptive to the spirit of God when we are humble. - John Pingree #GeneralConference 
 Be cautious about the heros you choose to worship. Celebrities, politicians, athletes, and social influencers can become to us like the golden calf of Israel. - Christopher Waddell #generalconference

 One of the most imaginative children’s books ever written. Very accessible to the young mind, and wonderful for adults too.

 Last time I was pulled on a skateboard was while hanging onto a car with my wife driving (cautiously) while laughing at my face beaming with pure joy. *sigh* 😊 
 This looks like Vulcan de Fuego. 🔥 😍 
 I love pigeon pose for stretching out tight hip flexors. 
 Yep! However, classic and resting is all I can get into. I’m not flexible enough yet for one-legged and king pigeon. 😆
