If you’ve ever been given a firegate instead of a street address for directions … Just a photo I took yesterday. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreih6svj5zk2ztd6aptyyp3nozjfo3leisnjia4wlru5jtzat6wla3m

More people should have grown up playing the Apple IIe version of Lemonade Stand (a couple of other versions did not have the same game mechanics.) I think more people would understand just a LITTLE more about running a business if they had. Prompted by an in-person conversation with some people.

I realize an additional reason I lean toward things that have at least the option of self hosting: - it ensures that I have some level of ability to regularly back up some aspects easily instead of my content being locked in. A lot of SaaS make me dig too hard for backup options info. Not export.

Spot the Bourbon barrel stave. I was in fact correct that a fire in this fireplace is much easier with logs split more. I grew up w/ a larger fireplace & was used to just shoving giant pieces in. The barrel stave & cherry wood smells good but not too smokey this time. #skytok timeline cleanse https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreifzm4gkbz5pu5n54isdf565jvhptt7lqajx4iuupbo7ftzia7wvui

Finally warm inside - flannel lined jeans, hooded sweatshirt, fuzzy boots and a plant mat under my feet. Yes, a plant mat. A little too hot directly on the feet but good with shoes. Everything is registering at least 65ºF but somehow the house just feels cold when it's this cold outside.

Also went shopping today & bought the 4lb sledge hammer (the one not shown.) Used it with the log grenade I already had to split 2 logs when I got home. Debated another axe but I’m not sure how many of my granny’s I brought to this house. I have at least 1 but might have 1-2 more somewhere. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreiav5lcm6hfrvavzd5jqbl3lr7s4zni5suj5ehf2itgk3y5szakqny

The cold weather is keeping me indoors more because it’s so cold my skin hurts lately. But this set of photos and video also makes me want to do a more planned hike than my normal stuff too. RE:

With numerous waterfalls cascading down from the glaciers above, mossy green cliffs, and abundant wildlife, this was one of the most magical places...

As much as I want to get more done, I think I must also give up for the day. I’ll probably get a second wind at like 10 or 11 and end up awake or fall asleep watching tv in just a bit. With the weather being what it has been I’m not sure which. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreihgwbuv5vex2caxkt2psut7cml3p6rv5t7qiu2hgqmrt5z5jyd2jy

Ok ... my brain apparently works really well in Skyfeed but Graze social somehow mystifies me. Like I thought I had what would require an image but it did images and videos and didn't include the word I wanted. I'm going to have to read the documentation or just try a block of regex directly in it.
