Last year thought about all the stuff I wish I could do. Today I couldn't seem to think of anything.

I had a picture to show that it wasn't broken. I wasn't really sure how to react to the situation. That had never happened before.

I don't know what keeps causing it and I'm too far into the project to switch to something else.

Even more so, it actually kinda said you'll make what I tell you.

I only seem to have this problem when I talk with my friend Rob.

Should have thought it through.

He had a water system installed and an antenna for the internet. It was fascinating. I never did find one for what I needed though. You can check out the video here btw  https://youtu.be/HPVCTLPNUzo

Turned out they were younger and just getting into collecting vinyl and didn't know much about it. I guess that's why they called it a vinyl player.

I wish that this wasn't something that is a milestone. But it was good to be together again.

Probably one of the biggest problems with creating things.

A dated reference but it still works.

It's been a while since I can just explore a random town. I missed that.

I liked seeing it but hated my confused reaction.

I just hope it's not anything important.

I look at some of the vintage and retro items I sold online in this video. Along the way, I think about how Popeye had a cartoon in the 80s and his kid wasn't Swee'Pea it was a surfin' kid named junior. I realize I remember way too much about the Fraggle Rock show. And I have another situation where I sold a book that I kind of regret selling because the artwork is so cool! Plus, at the end of the video, I draw my daily autobiographical webcomic.

Of course, I didn't think to ask if it was going to be used as a good frequency or a bad one?

How are they doing so much better than me? I just can't figure it out.

Usually, I check like 3 times that I'm recording when I start. Then the one time I don't!

At least the sun is still out at that time now.

Twice in two weeks, I lost access to Facebook Marketplace for no reason that I can think of? I still have other platforms that I sell things on but this made me think it's time to really focus on a better way to use my own website. I decided to just think about it out loud in this video as I go about my day. Plus, I visit my train car studio which is also becoming a problem, and at the end of the video I draw my daily autobiographical webcomic.

I don't know how but our place seemed to be fine.

This is a song I just released with my band Lorenzo's Music called "So long". I feel like I'm always afraid to share the music I create here. But the funny thing is it's probably what I work on the most. Also, it's the thing I've done the longest. And still, I feel so hesitant to share it in certain places. In the past few years it's really been the one media I am able to express feelings and concepts in. Express it in a way that when I'm done it gets the point across that I'm trying to tell. To me that is. When it comes to things like drawing, painting, or mediums like that, I know I'm never going to be able to pull off something that would be fine art to my own satisfaction. But as far as music I can write something that is pretty damn close to what I want it to be. The song is available for download on Bandcamp.  https://lorenzosmusic.bandcamp.com/track/so-long

Also when I woke up it felt like my fingers had frostbite. Is that one of the side effects too?

There were two more there when we got back. Feel like I should be concerned.

In theory, it should make it easier right? We'll see I guess.
