June 27, 2022 //  by Buddy//  Leave a Comment

Some weeks are just an amalgamation of everything which leads to randomness. That has been this past week so I am bringing you a variety show today where we talk about a lot of things.

First up is the work I started on a product I want to sell, but I need to develop it and I have gone through a few prototypes I have 3D printed. I talk a little bit about the design process and what I am going for.

Then we move on to more homestead stuff where I fixed some underground electric, torched some grass and finally hit a fork in the road on the hydroponics. Oh, and followed through on a great suggstion for my gate.

Finally we wrap up the episode with some bitcoin investment data I compiled for dollar cost averaging. I actually crunched some numbers for this data.
