Almost two years since this backwater got flushed for good and gmap still saying otherwise…catch up, computer! Territories be terra-reforming 😤

Found it! Well, their juncture anyhow - indeed not a clean sequential stack (unconformed = erosion, deformation etc between eras). Pretty cool chronofile in the back yard tho :)

One of these dudes too, pushing the bounds of glam respectability but boy I guess all that pink plumage really goes to your head

Fun cooking up surplus carbons for a long dirt nap with a ring kiln today!

Simple scalable open source tech for landscape resilience and restoration in fire country.

Gleaned 10lb of (Chinese?) chestnuts from a neglected orchard down the road - what’s the TLDR on effective low effort mass planting??

Gorgeous weather after rain for a little fire-vacuum cleaning in the understory yest. This area burned at moderate intensity some years ago, half the oaks top-killed but are resprouting. It is becoming more resilient, with just a bit of tuning.

One stupendous fire breather; with a lively “underburn” Rx column over that E flank 🫦

This joint is going to be ready to rhumba with a few more junkyard chic roof panels and a serving counter slab - all freewheeling nearly free site-spec design+build!!

Aptly nick’d dead man’s foot puff fungi, pisolithus, donating a load of mycorrhizal spores for the next gen 🌲🌲🍄‍🟫🌲🌲

They cute!
Just a few lingering black oak here under growing drought/disease pressure, but a decent batch of seed ‘corn this year for targeted planting in advantageous nooks… 🌱

Opening day at the new natural swim pool probably around new years, but it’ll be so worth the wait, come thru 🎉

Guess some Rx burn boss woke up today, scanned the news, had a second cup, saw a dry steady 20mph out of the north, grimaced in the mirror and said “do ya feel lucky, punk?!” 😯
