## Resource

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.
