dear chimney owners, did you find an organic and paraffin free way of lighting the fire, thats always successful? maybe selfmade? just using beewax? would love to hear your experience šŖµ
Fill a cardboard egg container with dryer lint. Soften or melt the beeswax(you can also use paraffin, petroleum jelly, beef tallow, whatever) and add it to the dryer lint. Now you can cut off each cell of egg crate as its own individual self contained firestarter.
Not just recycling, but up cycling for a higher and better use.

Maybe, if you just want to be a pain in her ass. In order to win this type of lawsuit, you need to prove damages. Like many other people, I didnāt learn your story until after you were incarcerated. I would bet that your fan base actually increased because of the #freeross movement. The world is your oyster right now. Why take a negative path when thereās so much good you can do?
Learning more about #meshtastic this evening. I successfully sent and received my first test messages. Spent some time scrolling through local nodes looking for people to reach out to and found this gem.

I played with my new #meshtastic radios I bought from @average_bitcoiner
today.
I learned how to connect my phone to a radio and how to set up some basic configuration settings on the radio.
I couldnāt see anyone else while I was sitting inside my house. So I carried a second radio up the hill, about 400 yards away, to increase line of sight to other radios and have a direct line site to my house.
Sitting in my living room I now can see 21 contacts as far as 30 miles away. All in all I have spent 2-3 hours of self teaching and experimenting from YouTube videos on this project. Meshtastic is so easy, I highly recommended it to anyone wanting to learn basic radio and secure communication.

This ham is from a pig I raised. Yes, it is delicious and yes, Iām bragging š
Brined overnight in 2 gallons of water, 2 cups sea salt, 2tbsp of curing salt, 2 cups brown sugar, cloves and powdered mustard seed and apple cider vinegar.
Smoked at 250 for two hours with apple wood and finished in the oven to crisp things up.

What an amazing day! I sold one of my pigs to an old Ukrainian butcher. With the understanding that he would process the pig at my place. I learned so much. WARNING BUTCHERING PICTURES!
The kill shot was the normal headshot with a .22, but instead of cutting the throat he pulled out a boot knife and stabbed it in the heart. Spot on, the first try, blood pumping straight out of the single wound.
Then he placed the dispatched pig on a piece of metal roof, everything from here on out was āclean.ā
He used a weed torch to burn the hair off, used a homemade tool to perforate the skin and continued to torch until the holes began to bubble.
At this point he began alternating pouring water on the pig and tourching until the skin started to crack.
At that point they used scrub brushes to remove the ātar.ā
Next he rolled the animal on its back and made cuts from its throat to the groin and took off a beautiful piece of fatty meat.
He separated the intestinal sack by hand and pulled the whole thing out in one piece.
Oh! Because he stabbed it in the heart, there was no blood except for in the thoracic cavity. Which was scooped out with an old coffee mug. It was very important to wash the animal several times during the scorching process and no blood was allowed to touch the meat.
I had to leave before they broke the animal down the rest of the way. Basically it was freezer ready by the time they left.
The best part was that I got to try āsalo.ā Salted, raw pig fat. They called it āUkrainian sashimi.ā Firm texture, a little chewy with a hint of smoke from the scorching process.
Iām so grateful that I get to live this life, meet people like this and learn new things.
