We guarantee that crazed man after crazed man will have a flood of killing power readily supplied him. We have to make that offering, out of devotion to our Moloch, our god. The gun is our Moloch. We sacrifice children to him daily.

@gregmoore ugh, sorry. It's going through our household too. I hope it's mild and swift.

Good morning.

@odd I like it!

Toying with the idea of a second micro.blog just for the acreage/farm stuff. Pondering.

@jaheppler
@jabel Congrats on the projects! Reminds me I’ve been wanting to write up something like this too.
I’m also gearing up for my fall/winter project: overhauling the workshop. Which means patching holes in the metal roof, putting up foam board insulation, patching holes in the metal siding, etc. My main goal is to make the space more comfortable for work and better storage for things that shouldn’t get too hot or cold (and seal it up from critters).

Six hours of work later: pickled roasted peppers, sweet and sour pepper relish, and candied jalapeños. Tomorrow, we make habanero jelly.
Jason Heppler
@jaheppler
@dwalbert We make a version that doesn’t include frying them. We instead wrap them in a crepe, then arrange in a baking dish, top with ranchero/salsa and cheese, and pop it in the oven for 40 minutes. Turns out great!

@wcaleb I’ve gone through a lot of vinyl gloves!

It’s days like this, when the heat index is in the low 100s, that I wonder why public school buses don’t have air conditioning.
Jason Heppler
@jaheppler
Getting ready to can jalapeños.
Jason Heppler
@jaheppler
@dwalbert We’re still deciding. Some might turn into a pepper jelly. Some we’ll pickle or otherwise can. Some I might cook up tonight (I love poblanos and might make rellanos).
Jason Heppler
@jaheppler
Just a few peppers from the garden today.

@kfitz Happy birthday from a fellow Virgo!

@jaheppler
@aa Yeah! I caught it at just the right time; only three or four minutes later, and it was already gone.
Jason Heppler
@jaheppler
@gregmoore Thanks!

@jaheppler
@wcaleb Thanks!

@jaheppler
@odd It is! It's been a very nice morning, although we're suppose to get a heat wave over the next few days...
Jason Heppler
@jaheppler
@jabel It is! Making some plans to reno the exterior, but the interior is in remarkable shape for its age. Currently just a storage space and a place for the barn cats to hang out.

@aa I'm so ready for flannel season.

Crews are in the area installing fiber internet and I cannot wait to get off the line-of-sight signal I currently use.

Trimmed the pasture to promote grass growth. Probably only the third time this summer I’ve given it a full mowing and it looks infinitely better and healthier than the weedy mess of last year.

This gal has become something of an escape artist. She’s gotten out a couple times and now looks for every opportunity to roam.

Lost out on that Farmall H, but I see a few more that might be worth pursuing.

@ablerism My kiddo is a big fan of the Nathan Hale Hazardous Tales books. He has a couple that go into the 20th century.

@jaheppler
No one panic, but I found a Farmall H on auction that is shockingly cheap and now I’m wondering if I can arrange the logistics it would take to buy it and haul it…

I’m in the process of restoring one of my past digital history projects that I first released in 2012, and I’m pleased with Past Jason for building it as a good static site. Almost no repairs needed and the site still works great. (More updates soon).

Terrific week at the Digital Humanities 2024 conference hosted by us at RRCHNM. Great to catch up with old friendsiends, make new ones, and learn new things.

@ayjay Hey, happy anniversary!

@odd It did! Although I don't think the chickens were very impressed with the wind.

@patrickrhone Sorry to hear this, Patrick. We lost both of ours earlier this year, it's tough. Wishing you all comfort and fun memories.

@wcaleb You’re a wiser man than me, you found a tool that works and stuck to it instead of bouncing around to different ones 😆
