Good morning.


They aren't too spooky around here. I was hunting on Kodiak a few years ago, in the area where you can take three deer. I shot a decent 6 pointer and was in the process of skinning it with the help of my brother in law. We had our camo off and were talking and joking around and a young fork buck came trotting out of the brush right towards us to see what was going on. He waited broadside 25 yds away while I retrieved my rifle and bagged him.

The natives say that animals judge your character and give themselves to you, if they find you worthy. It seemed kind of like that.


Hunting. I have put 4 deer, 3 caribou and a moose in the freezer in the last ten years, but it always seems like dumb luck.


Yeah I'm trying. My dad didn't hunt, didn't even own a gun. I didn't take up hunting until I was in my 30's and I still don't really know what I'm doing. His kids will probably be squared away though.


My 10 year old son actually has a cow moose tag. If he wasn't in school I would probably hand him a high powered rifle, tell him try not to hit the house, and hope for the best.

Alaskans fill out a paper ballot that is fed into a scanner that counts it. They keep the paper as a backup. It's not like that everywhere?


We have RCV here in Alaska. It seems like a solution in search of a problem. In many races, the Republican and Democrat candidates that come in 3rd or 4th place in the primaries, winning the right to appear on general election ballot, drop out to avoid splitting the vote and hurting their party. This allows the some oddball 5th and 6th place candidates to end up on the ballot. Eric Hafner is on ballot for US House even though he has never lived in Alaska and is doing 20 years in prison for making bomb threats.

I have had good results making biochar in a 55 gallon drum, with no holes in it, leaning over at a 45 degree angle. When fuel on the bottom of the barrel has burned enough throw more fuel on top to starve the bottom of oxygen. I have only done this with wood, but it should work with other materials. Just keep an eye on it and add material at an appropriate rate.

I just listened in on a IEEE presentation on innovations in 5G/6G networks. Networking is not my profession, so some of it was over my head, but it was very interesting nonetheless.

The industry is also trying to secure new spectrum in the 7.1-8.5Ghz range to increase bandwidth.

They described the cellular network as dynamically reconfigurable and running on a distributed computing platform. Interaction with the computing platform is done via API. Some API's are open, some are closed, but there is a push to open them.

There are plans to natively run AI on the network and allow it to dynamically reconfigure and optimize the network. This is being to done to minimize labor costs; most the most use of equipment, spectrum and energy; and allow operators to rent out AI compute power during times of low demand as a new revenue stream.

There is conflict between allowing innovation and maintaining critical inrastructure.

Wild stuff, interesting times.

I run a Yeasu ATAS-120A screwdriver style antenna on my truck for HF ham radio. It's a decent unit, relatively inexpensive, easy to mount and easy to use with a Yeasu radio. I have made contacts with it on the 40 meter through 6m bands, including WARC. It's pretty inefficient, but good enough for FT8 contacts from Alaska to the PNW and Japan using 25W, most days. My main complaint is that it occasionally has intermittent high SWR due to corrosion between the matching unit and the coil tube. When this hapens, I partially disassemble it and clean that area with a wire brush and rubbing alcohol. It's a simple procedure. Drive the coil up, slide up the rubber ring to expose three Phillips screws, remove the screws and gently pry and tap the matching unit off. It is held on by a rubber o-ring and corrosion. Be careful not to damage the wires between the matching unit and motor. Clean, seal, reassemble and you are back in business in under an hour.

On tacomas you can remove the fuse that powers it. It is labeled DCM. You lose the use of the microphone, but that seems to be the only side effect. I imagine that most Toyotas are similar.
A Faraday cage around the chip won't do anything and isn't feasible because the cables coming into it prevent full coverage. Disconnecting the antenna(s) would prevent it from receiving GPS signals and transmitting data. You would lose use of OnStar, GPS navigation, maybe software updates. Do your own research. Good luck.

Larry Bartlett's DVD "Project Bloodtrail: Field Care of Alaska Big Game" does a good job explaining field dressing, breaking a moose down into pieces you can carry and meat care. It's geared towards float hunters who might be in the field with meat for a week or two. It doesn't really cover the butchering you'll do once you get the quarters home.

It's basically like butchering a deer just bigger. I have done two. I am real careful with the back straps, inner loins, and brisket. Everything else just gets get into a 2lb roast or burger.


That's interesting. Here in Alaska, using a helicopter to transport hunters, hunting equipment or game meat is prohibited. Some people on one of the discovery channel "reality" shows got busted for that recently.

Sorry bro, I am taking the lane that sets me up for my next turn every time.


The market doesn't "decide," price controls don't work because the price is a result of voluntary market interaction. It's a thermometer, not the heat itself.

Price controls are analogous to capping the thermometer and letting pressure build up, while claiming that we've controlled the temperature outside.

Saying "the market decides" is like suggesting we are "letting the weather decide the temperature" instead of the weatherman. When the second statement is just nonsense. The weatherman doesn't control the weather, if he is manipulating the thermometer then its just lying about what the real temperature is.

My proposal isn't about "letting the markets decide," because markets are literally the only thing that create prices in the first place. I'm saying we shouldn't have institutions with the express authority to completely monopolize a market and then lie about the price.

Price controls are simply lies, we should just stop lying.


If think we'd all be much better off if the federal government in general and the executive branch especially, had far less power. If they stayed in their lane, it shouldn't matter if the turd sandwich or the giant douche is a charge. Important things ought to be handled at the state or county level.

I am planning to sell some bitcoin in the next few weeks to prepare for the winter

I have a feeling things are going to get fuckin wild over the next 6 months

Although I hate selling bitcoin I believe the piece of mind will be worth it

So far on the list I have:
Frozen meat
Propane tanks
Jars of local honey
Frozen soups
Cases of water
Ivermectin
Chaga capsules
Vitamin D

What am I missing?

I really enjoy cutting and burninwood, but I hate handling and stacking it multiple times, so I starting using a system of totes.

They are cheap and easy to build. Take a pallet, sawzall it half, attach the two halves with four 4' 2X4's and cross brace three sides with scrap lumber. Using an air nailer I can complete one in under 15 minutes. The key to success is using ring shank nails and traditional stringer pallets. The four-way, block/deck pallets don't hold nails well.

They hold an 1/8 of a cord. That's about all the weight my 25hp tractor can handle off road. My work flow is to drop a tree; limb, buck and split it where it falls; stack it into totes; tractor it to a sunny spot to season; then tractor it to the house and burn it.

I use the Yolink LoRa system with a temperature sensor and speaker hub. It gives an audible alert and sends out email and SMS if the temperature gets above my setpoint, assuming internet is working. Sensor batteries last about 5 months. It's not the ideal solution because you're relying on 3rd party services, but it has worked reliability for me for the past year. Also, once you have the speaker hub, you can add additional functions. I use it for a driveway alarm, gunsafe door monitor, greenhouse temperature monitoring and to remotely control my truck's block heater.

My radio project for today was to get an ADS-B receiver working on my phone to track planes. It was easy.

I installed a 1090Mhz antenna from NooElec onto a RTL-SDR Blog dongle, plugged it into my android phone with a USB A to C cable, and installed 2 apps: RTL-STR BLOG driver (free) and ADS-B Radar ($2). It required minimal configuration.

Now I am up and running, recieving position reports from aircraft up to 30 miles away. I will mainly use this when I am in the bush, waiting for an air taxi. I also will keep an eye on it during wildfire season so I know where air tankers are operating. I want to find out if I can receive military aircraft transponders as well. That might require a 978 Mhz antenna. It would be interesting to catch a flight of F-22's on their way to intercect Russki bombers in the ADIZ next time.

This is Iran in 1979 just before massive numbers of COLLEGE STUDENTS  in Iran were led to believe their government was "oppressive" and decided to call for change though protests and violence.

There is a reason such people are considered "useful idiots".   Iran was a modern, safe and quite free nation before it fell to Islamic Militant Rule.

So was Egypt, so was Iraq, so was Afghanistan.  Seeing a pattern yet?  The difference here is about 50 million Americans who are not willing to let this shit happen are heavily armed.

Think about that every time a politician uses the term "gun safety regulation".

Yeah, we're at higher elevation than the surrounding area, so we get more snow and it sticks around longer. I lost track this winter, but probably had 20ish feet fall. It was 5' deep on the level before it started melting. The garden has extra snow because it slides off the green house in that direction.

So I'm in walmart today, and after I get done buying crap I always go to the service counter and put whatever cash is in my pocket into cashapp. I do this because it is a simple way to stack sats and it only costs a dollar plus 2%. Well, walmart has a new policy, so it's not simple any more. They need you to give them your phone number, name, DOB and stuff to create a walmart account. Eff that. Walgreens is my new go to.

I have a decent grasp on electronics from the classes I took in engineering school 20 years ago. I found the service manual and schematic online. This board converts 110VAC into 12VDC and 5VDC to run the control circuits. The trouble shooting procedure in the manual shows you where to test for these voltages. 12V wasn't present, so I put my nose on the that area of the board and smelled the distinct odor of burnt electronics coming from an IC. There was also some visible charring. I looked up the datasheet for that IC and it's function is voltage conversion, so it seemed like the probable issue. I replaced it and it didn't work. Either that wasn't the only problem or I damaged something while soldering. I broke down and bought a whole replacement board off ebay and the fridge is up and running. In retrospect, I should have used an external power supply to feed the board 12VDC and see if everything else worked before declaring it solved.
.


Yes, both sugar water and pollen patties. The hives are about 20' from our greenhouse, there will be things for them to feed on in there pretty soon.


I wasn't able to repair the board, so I threw in the towel and installed a used one off ebay. It's back up and running.


It's quickly melting. Here is what it looked like 10 days ago.

When I was in middle school they let us go to the computer lab for keyboarding class. We used apple iie's and everyone was given a 5-1/4" floppy disk to save their work on. The teacher was militant about having everyone ground themselves before touching the computers because they were expensive and they were scared that a static shock would ruin them. The best part was making fifteen foot long happy birthday banners using the tractor feed printer.


It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

I got volunteered to make a portable tetherball pole for my kids' school, so I attached a 2" galvanized pipe to a smallish tire full of c'ment. It ended up being about 225 lbs, a good balance between portability and stability.

I live near a busy harbor there is a demand for short term storage of frozen bait and cold storage of commercially caught fish. There is also some demand for  hunters to age moose and deer meat in cold storage before processing. Do you have anything like that in your area?


I had a nice solo cross country ski outing this morning. My wife dropped me off at the top of a trail near our house that gradually decends 600 feet over 3 miles. The trail was kind of rough. It was a bit drifted over and parts were full of deep moose tracks, but the weather was glorious. 30 degrees, blindingly intense sun and just enough breeze to keep you from over heating. Flocks of song birds were out twittering and I saw a snowshoe hare that had a couple of brown spots on its ears. Spring is coming.

It's that magical time of year again. It's dark out when I drop my kids off at school and light out when I'm trying to get them to go to bed. Thanks daylight savings time having the clocks set 2 hours and 15 minutes ahead of local solar time rocks.


When I was a kid in rural Wisconsin. I lived on a dirt road with no road. It had a name, but few people knew what it was because the mail got addressed to rural route 1 and a box number. It worked out fine, everyone that had a reason to be on that road knew how to find it without a sign. Then in 1990, 911 came along, and they said every road needed to have a sign. So the county came through and assigned every road a number based on a grid system and put up signs with the new numbers. It confused people because it was new and there were lots of roads that were on the same grid line and got the same number but weren't connected. So the county came through again and tore down all the new road signs and put up new ones that had the new number and the old name. The name was really small and hard to read, but it was enough to get people to stop complaining. And thats how I learned the name of the road I lived on.


Happy pi day!

There was lots of moose drama along the Iditarod trail last night. Dallas Seavey's team got entangled with a moose on a downhill stretch outside of Skwentna. He had to shoot it in self defense. That resulted in an unanticipated delay while he gutted the moose, as per the race rules. The carcass ended up in the middle of the trail on a blind corner. Several teams reported that they ran it over. In an unrelated event, musher Jessie Holmes punched a moose in the nose.

Hi, I am Aaron. I helped my brother in law harvest a brown bear one time. I deeply enjoyed being in the mountains and spending time intensely focused on observing and understaning bears. The moment of the kill was exciting and terrifying. We put like 7 rounds in it and it went down. Then we walked up to it triumphantly, ready to snap some photos and get to work. It got up came towards us with murderous intent and growled in a way triggered ancient, viseral fears. I pulled my pistol and shot it in the face, twice, with no effect. My BIL finished it off with his last rifle round. Fall brown bear isn't that good to eat, so we only salvaged the hide. I looks good hanging on his wall. I am glad I got to be there to support him, but I wouldn't do it again. I just hunt for meat these days. I would like to try spring black bear hunting, but haven't yet made time.  They are really good eating and less intimidating than the browns.

An easy way to explain the failure of government.

For decades the government tried stop "drinking and driving".  This included billions of tax payer funded stupid ads no one listened to.  Along with destroying the lives of many who were NOT IMPAIRED at all at their time of arrest.

And after all this drinking and driving along with accidents caused by drunk drivers was never really reduced.   Any reduction happened in the 80s when the laws were first put in place from that point on, it was pretty much the same for 30+ years.

Then in 2009 Uber was founded soon followed by Lyft.  It was so effective that some police departments (mostly unions) said it was causing a lack of "revenue" because they wrote so few DWI tickets.  Governments from federal to local fought it all the way.    The average DWI will cost a person 10-20K minimum even if found not guilty.   Most of this was grift that went to the state one way or another.

California's government attempted to put all ride share drivers out of business with laws against independent contractors.  This led drivers to form corporations and LLCs just to stay in business.

Las Vegas literally pulled some of the first uber drivers over at gun point and were pushed to do so by the cab lobby and the mafia that runs the Vegas cab business.  The city of Austin tried to outlaw Uber/Lyft as well, again spurred on by Austin PD and police unions.

These are just a few examples.

Despite all this ride services survived and thrived and have done more to reduce DWIs and accidents caused due to them than 4 decades of state endorsed warfare on our own citizens and billions of dollars in PR campaigns paid for with stolen money.

The solution is Always in the free market.   The impediment to these solutions is ALWAYS government.

Wow. Did your mil rate go up or did the assessed value go up?

JS8Call is an amateur radio software that enables operators to communicate with each other over the airwaves using a digital mode called JS8. This mode is based on the popular FT8 protocol but extends its capabilities to allow for more interactive and message-based communication, rather than just exchanging call signs and signal reports. Here's a breakdown of what JS8Call offers:

1. Weak Signal Communication: Like FT8, JS8Call is designed to work well even when signal conditions are poor, allowing for reliable communication over long distances.

2. Message-Based Interaction: Unlike FT8, which is primarily for making contacts and exchanging basic information, JS8Call allows for longer, free-form text messages, making it more suitable for actual conversations.

3. Networking Features: JS8Call includes features such as relaying messages, storing and forwarding messages, and calling specific stations, which can be especially useful in emergency communication scenarios or when trying to reach a particular station.

4. Frequency Agility: JS8Call allows operators to use different frequencies for communication, making it adaptable to band conditions and regulations.

5. Error Correction: It uses strong error correction techniques to ensure messages are received accurately even in challenging conditions.

JS8Call is popular among amateur radio enthusiasts who are interested in digital modes of communication, especially in scenarios where robustness and reliability are important, such as emergency communications or remote area communications where traditional internet or phone services are not available.

So I am on the Nostr, trying to make it do zaps. I got me a wallet set up on Primal. Can just I transfer normal on-chain Bitcoin from Trust wallet directly into Primal or I do I have to lightning-matize first it? If so, what is the cheapest way to do that?

He must be a ford guy.


Good morning.


As I trudged out to the compost pile today, I realize that we have reach a major meteorological milestone. The snow is officially ass deep in my yard.


We Alaskans sure appreciate it. Ocean farmed salmon is threat to our way of life.
You ever try winter caught king salmon? It fattier, a real treat.


They've shifted tactics and are holding LNG export licenses hostage in order to get Texas in line.


Every morning when I open the wood stove, the cat jumps inside and tries to take a crap before I can get the fire lit.

Who is the victim of this alleged crime? Nobody. There is no reason for the law to be involved.


It's a helluva compliment in degrees Kelvin.


When I bought our property, 12 years ago. It came with a 8' tall moose fence surrounding 5 acres. It was a mix of welded wire and woven wire fencing stapled to living trees. They occasionally installed a wooden post where needed. They ran three sawmill slabs horizontally between each tree or post. The welded wire has not held up. It rusts and breaks at the welds. The woven wire is very durable. I've felled trees on top of it, all you have to do is replace the slab and bend the wire back. Replacing or renailing slabs is an annual chore, but they're free, so it's a good trade off.


That's seems a touch low, but without a spreadsheet of my poop stats, I'm just guessing.


Thanks for the information. Did know of a similar guide that includes the specifics of the Canadian border?


Welcome. Good morning.


I love the convenience of Velcro shoes, I mean why knot?


That's very interesting. I would love to hear about your methods and results. I need to come up with 2 yds of biochar this spring for a new raised bed.


Was it one of those places where the baristas where bikinis?


You could have bought a whole pound of Folgers instead.


They don't have to suspend the election. If Texas isn't part of the union on December 17th, it means 40 less votes for Trump. Then Biden wins and maintains the veneer of democracy.


It's amazing how much heat a piece of metal that small can absorb. I often dremel or snip off components, so I just desolder the leads one at a time.


Stacking sats! Am I doing this right?

Anybody else suck at making words before they have had their coffee?
