I've been making the Flow House more usable, comfortable, and more mine. It's getting to be a really wonderful space to spend time!

I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in a 16-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i. I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Some days, like today, I just feel like I accomplished and got a lot done, which is a really wonderful feeling, of course.
I spent the whole morning and afternoon, until just after 2PM making sure I was totally caught up on Hive, while also working on my laptop doing a whole assortment of things, getting the Arch Linux installation on my second hard drive up to date more and more.

On my laptop, working with the Arch installation on my second hard drive, and sipping my superfood fire coffee, I configured and built/compiled four different custom kernels tailored to my laptop's hardware (my goodness does this new processor compile kernels fast!), I also recreated my entire GRUB boot menu (I install and use several different kernels, so I need a menu to choose which one in which I want to boot each time). Configuring the kernels and recreating the GRUB menu took a fair amount of time, and a lot of intense focus to complete successfully. I can feel my prowess working with Arch Linux returning, and I love it!

I had everything on Hive and in Arch pretty well wrapped up by 2PM, so I left the Flow House shortly after to go do some work on the land for a while. I did a little weeding in my nursery, and I watered a few (drier) plants. After that I got a shovel and an o-o bar to go dig more holes to plant young coconut palms in the chicken pen. Once I finally had that done, I got a good bit of wood together to take up to the Flow House House to start a fire later (Shakira asked if we could make one).

When I finished taking the wood up to the Flow House, I took a nice, hot shower, blended some of my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao combo, made food for myself, then I headed back up to the Flow House to catch up on Hive again, and to continue working on my laptop. My router in the Landing seems to be having problems today, as it basically just stops working, and I have to reboot it to make it work again, for a little while. It seriously keeps going out multiple times per hour at the moment, which is bloody annoying! I even reset it, and then flashed the two latest firmware updates, then recreated my network in hopes of fixing the issue. Sadly it did not!

Shakira and Ryan were already heading up to the Flow House as I was returning there myself. I started the fire, then turned my attention back to Hive and Arch. They're still up here, sitting in the deck, looking into the fire.

It's almost 12AM, which is far later than I wanted to be writing a post, but I was doing other things earlier, along with talking with Ryan and Shakira, so I'm writing this post now. Given that it's so late, and I'm pretty sleepy, I'm going to end this post now, so that I can get myself into bed! I deeply appreciate you all so much! Until tomorrow! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚
