Today was supposed to be my first farmers market. I've been preparing for it for the past month, so I was really excited (and admittedly a little anxious) to finally get out there, meet people, and see what happens.
The one thing I didn't account for was just how much weight I was putting in my car: a 10×10 tent, two 30-lb weights, table, cooler, boxes of product, and everything else.
My car is older and already had some worn tie rods. Unfortunately, the extra weight was apparently the final straw. While backing out of the driveway, the front wheel collapsed.
The repair is going to cost about as much as the car is worth, so I'm most likely going to have to salvage it and find another used vehicle.
The real bummer is that I had prepared 24 jars of hodl butter along with a bunch of other treats specifically for the market. Now I'm sitting here with everything and no way to get it there.
If you have it in your heart to help out, I'd be incredibly grateful. Even simply sharing this note helps. The Bitcoin community I've found here runs deep, and I'm hopeful this reaches a few fellow plebs who might be willing to lend a hand.
I've updated the shop with what I have available, although I don't yet have all of the chocolates listed. The prices are also discounted, so good ready to stock up now if you want.
You can also zap this note, and I'll reach out directly to figure out what you'd like to order.
Man... what a bummer.
Thank you for reading, sharing, ordering, or simply being here. I really appreciate it ❤️🤞🏼
O.
As an aside. If you can find a decent mechanic that allows you to bring him the parts and he installs you might find that repair job is only 1/3rd of what a mechanic shop tries to charge.
Case in point: Kids rear struts needed to be changed, repair shop was quoting $800 for it. Was able to buy the struts for $90 from rockauto and have local "shade-tree" mechanic that I know charge me $300 to install them.
You are stronger now. And you also have a crazy story to tell. If it's any consolidation, I'm a rural mail carrier; my job depends on my car working. Guess what decided to fall apart while driving down the road last week? I've been out of work for the last week and just yesterday managed to get it back functioning.
Everything happen for a reason someone say :) Thanks for sharing these beautiful delights 😋

Sorry to hear that. Zapping you some sats and writing this comment for visibility.
Hang in there
Sorry to hear that! I would order some stuff to support, but I don't need hodl butter or cacao blocks right now. Are any of the chocolates/snacks going to be back in stock soon?
I should probably list them on the website tonight. Let me try and get to that, but I do have quite a few on hand. if its easier you can just zap me on nostr (or here) whatever you're willing to spend and I will certainly hook you up
I'll zap you some extra sats for now, and then wait for you to update the website!
Oh no, that really sucks. Sorry to hear this!
