We started at the beginning of the machine and let Heidi watch the process until she realized what it was making. Hot doughnut surprise this morning!

I've worked on a lot of taller buildings, a bunch at 200'-300' and a couple in the 700'-800' range. An off-grid tower cabin is one of the things on my bucket list. Location is important, but most everywhere looks amazing a few hundred feet up. I need to find one of the few pockets remaining without heavy zoning/structure height permissions. Any suggestions?

Sous vide on the cheap! Cooler, trough heater, thermostat. I need to do this again soon, but with solar panels.

While I was walking around in the woods this past week I thought about how peaceful and old everything seemed. The thing is, the trees and the landscape were not that old. I don't think I saw a tree over 150 and most were less than 100. The canopy was 80-100' in most places. The trees used to be old and huge averaging 5' diameters. Food literally used to fall from the sky because 25% of them were chestnut. Then, in a generation or so, they were gone and few even know if their existence.

I miss and love being back home in the woods. This yellow poplar is over 150’ tall and about 29” in diameter.

We’re heading out east for my brother’s wedding, just saw a Mastodon shirt!

Thought this might be a good idea and it already exists. This can solve several problems in the new house.
1.) Moving materials during the build. Will have to install 2 for the carts and a wench at the top.
2.) Accessibility for aging parents, when the time comes.
3.) Water removal for a weird roof detail.
4.) Bikes?

@mary and I found a new sitter for Heidi so we can go out for a bit together each week. The sitter is 22 and she's trying to finish up school, go out on her own, and she's pretty ambitious and successful. She's mentioned having baby fever and wanting a family and it struck me at how natural, good, and rare that is these days. Most of society would label her as crazy, or at least it would put a black mark on her in the dating scene.
