Clicking on the first two links I only got "Oops! This link is not available!".  Something is running afowl in UUID land.

Regards,
David

We sent an update to say "those codes are broke - we are working on a fix!"

We should send new codes in a few minutes.

We will be trying again in a few minutes.

When I click on "my stuff" and i look to the left i see "DM threads - gifts I manage" - not sure if you have that too.

I would like to see 500 little things make their way onto permies or youtube that have not gotten there yet.  When I did the basecamp tour on sunday, we were running out of time, but I had to stop and point out the relationship between a rhubarb plant, an apple tree and some surrounding alfalfa.  Rock solid proof of a nitrogen fixer sharing with other nearby plants while alive.  And not just nitrogen, but water.

And then a few steps further, about a dozen brand new baby apricot trees - from pits.  

So, I think there are hundreds of little stories to be told.  

But this sort of stuff isn't about following me around.  That would be super boring.  I spend most of the day processing emails and in meetings.  I try to solve problems here, and with the forums and with projects ...   but I cannot imagine that those are of interest to the masses.  

Maybe ten years from now my "day in the life" stuff would be more interesting.  

People that proudly never do soil tests, will confess that they will do soil tests when there is something wrong and they cannot figure it out.

If nothing else, I think it is good to "take a few pictures" to have some understanding of the general story.   Does your property have a serious deficiency of something?   A toxic level of excess?

On friday, kickstarter will send us funds and then we really kick things into gear.  

Right now, we are more in a get things super polished and ready for that day!

So, michael judd's book will be at least a couple of weeks out.  When the time comes, we will send an email to all the people that supported the kickstarter at $100 and higher with instructions about the window.

Here is my official word on this:

Dave, you get the entire $2.  

If you get something like $500 at some point (which I doubt) maybe use some of it to support one of my kickstarters or buy pie or do my patreon stuff or something.

So I upped my support to $100, but now Kickstarter says I am still at the "Glory" level, rather than the level that gets all the fabulous goodies.

The $100 level is the glory level and kickstarter thinks you have selected a much lower level.

It looks like you are in the US.   The amount you have paid is perfect if you wish to receive zero physical copies at the $100 level.   If you want at least one physical copy, send over $15 with this link https://permies.com/pp/15/lisa-marie-kickstarter-fix

Paul, did you get the $15 I sent over with the link provided?

Did you see this:  https://permies.com/t/40/112499/World-Book-kickstarter-support#920885

Sorry, this is something I know nothing about.
