DNF’d, but had a great time. i could have walked it out the last ten miles and still make the cut-off but after doing the math i would not have been done until about 1900 and we have guests visiting from out of time and i did not want to be even more of a wreck while entertaining. met a lot of great people and happy for the challenge.

It’s better to eat plants you know have 60 minerals in them than to eat veggies from the store you have no idea what is in them. I can’t wait to see if our chooks like the wheat we are growing. they don’t like the wheat from the produce store, comes with NPK Ca and Mg, that’s about it I reckon. Farmers do not add 60 minerals to their paddocks any more, too expensive to do so.
The potato shed is fully insect proof and the tender leaves are untouched and uneaten by beetles.
Great idea, will we get potatoes and can I grow them all year round… Have to wait and see…. More larger shade houses to build to keep the beetles out.
I’m SO enjoying the new jenny --fetch-context 😁

missed my alarm. it was a late night and didn’t really want to get up. my chest was tight most of the run on top of the exhaustion, and the heat just zapped any motivation out of me. oh well, taper week.

From my bed, I can hear a noise outside that is most likely a confluence of insects and distant freight trains but sounds errily like the static-laden cacophany of an old radio. I would go out to see what it is, but a small part of me is worried I might end up living out an episode of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” if I do.

Really nice and easy to navigate.
It seems silly to me that we humans create thermal energy with coal, convert the thermal energy to mechanical energy with steam turbines, convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy with generators, and convert the electrical energy back into thermal energy with glass-top stoves and electric heaters.
