The LOTS Project Morning Show

Cabin Progress, a Trailer Purchase, and Spring Starting to Hit Tennessee

This week the cabin actually moved forward, which felt nice for a change.I get into the deck progress, the next steps on the build, and why Kori and I finally pulled the trigger on a trailer after getting tired of fighting material runs, deliveries, borrowed equipment, and general project friction. It should make future work a whole lot easier — assuming I can get the driveway situation sorted out.I also talk about spring finally starting to show up here in Tennessee, potting up cuttings for friends, what that means for the workload ahead, comfrey season picking up, and a few side tangents on trailer security, gas prices, war nonsense, and Tennessee trying to pretend it loves freedom while dragging its feet on cannabis.If you like practical project updates mixed with sarcasm, systems skepticism, and a little chaos, this episode should do the trick.Links mentioned in the episode: Comfrey Roots: https://comfreyroots.com Blockstream Jade & Jade Plus: https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject Telegram Chat: https://t.me/LOTSChatAffiliate disclosure: Some links may be affiliate links.

Cabin Progress, UTXO Cleanup, and Why the Iran Narrative Feels “Set Up” (Ep. 877)

This one’s three threads that all connect in the same annoying way: systems break… and you either adapt or pay later.First: cabin update. We knocked out all 10 windows, built shallow stairs for big dogs and bad hips, and I learned (again) that battery tools have feelings… and those feelings are “nope.” Bonus: I’m officially done buying lumber at Lowe’s.Second: Bitcoin for normal people. If you’ve been stacking sats in small buys and sending them to a wallet like you’re being responsible — cool. But that creates a problem most people don’t learn about until fees jump: UTXOs. I explain what they are, why they matter, and why low-fee periods are when you handle it like an adult.Third: Iran. I’m not pretending I’m a geopolitics expert — I’m paying attention to the messaging. The “sleeper cell” narrative is being pushed hard from multiple directions, and that usually means someone’s trying to get the public pre-loaded for what comes next. I hope I’m wrong.Sponsors / affiliate links (support the show if you want):Blockstream Jade (10% off OR 10% back in sats): https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject | Code: TheLOTSProjectComfrey roots: https://comfreyroots.comFood Forest Farms Coffee: https://foodforestfarms.com | Code: LOTS10Affiliate disclosure: some links are affiliate links.
