The LOTS Project Morning Show

In Episode 866 of The LOTS Project Morning Show, Brian talks through a challenging early December: slow cabin framing progress, nonstop cold rain, the mental grind of gloomy weather, and the physical grind of hauling firewood out by hand because the easement road is still impassable.

We also dive into weekend Netflix picks — including Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?, Kings of Tupelo, and the explosive Diddy documentary — plus the weekly Bitcoin guessing game and how to stack even more sats using the Fold debit card during the Blockstream Jade 21% holiday sale.

It’s a packed, honest, filter-free episode. Grab a coffee and come along.

In Episode 865 of The LOTS Project Morning Show, I recap the last two weeks — a stretch filled with highs, lows, and everything in between. After finally getting the long-awaited cabin material delivery, life took a sharp turn when my father passed away. What followed was a 15-hour road trip to New York with two St. Bernards and a cat, a beautiful military service, and a whole lot of reflection.

Inside this episode:

• The material delivery, unloading, and getting everything under cover

• The emotional details of my father’s passing

• The National Cemetery internment, Elks service, and family moments

• Traveling with big dogs (and a cat)

• A nightmare rental car situation

• Staying in a 650 sq ft Airbnb cabin and getting fired up to finish ours

• How grief and time away sparked some major mindset shifts

• Bitcoin price guess game update and the big Jade holiday discount

• What’s next on the cabin build and in LOTS Project content

Brian closes out October with a pragmatic pivot on the cabin build: muddy roads, house-wrap check, and clearing a new ground-mount solar field while mapping the balance-of-system parts and a booster-pump water setup. Then it’s a look at 3I/ATLAS as it nears perihelion—sorting signal from noise—and a thought-experiment on a SNAP/EBT shutdown and what that could mean for everyday life. All with a hot cup of Food Forest Farms’ Survivors Blend (Aces & Eights).
