	Hello.
	It's uh 3 15 PM on uh July 6, 2013.
	Uh this wood shows a little bit of a catch-up on some things, but also uh let you know up front I'm recording outside because the huge number of fans going on inside uh really wouldn't permit it.
	Uh plus it's reasonably nice out here.
	Unless you're a hot little dog.
	Uh so apparently we're being slammed really from all directions.
	We've got uh a lot of gamma ray radiation coming in, we've got a lot of uh uh solar um errant behavior, or not errant really, I mean it's doing its uh solar thing.
	It's just not necessarily good for humans if you're unaware of what's happening.
	Uh so for instance, there's a lot more uh ultraviolet coming in now, and you're advised to stay out of the sun between, say, eleven and three thirty or four or something like that, depending on where you are in terms of your latitude because of the angle of incidence will uh allow um more UV of this uh new type C to penetrate, and it's rather damaging.
	Uh you can harmonize with it, I've discovered it's difficult, but you can uh such that it doesn't really burn or that sort of thing.
	You have to be rather conscious, conscious of what you're doing with it.
	Uh personally, by the way, I won't ever use any sunscreen or uh any s any product uh that has any kind of SPF uh business involved.
	Uh these sun protection factor things I think are absurd.
	Uh the uh actual statistical evidence is that skin cancer goes up when uh the use of sunscreens go up.
	So um and you know, it's like yeah, the sun's changed, but uh it's changed repeatedly throughout human history, and uh a lot of different kinds of humans have had to deal with a lot of different kinds of solar input, and we've managed to make it uh to themselves, and we've managed to make it this far.
	So my approach is to, you know, uh synchronize and harmonize with the sun and uh get to know this new incarnation of it.
	In any event, let's see what's going on.
	Um, all kinds of stuff uh globally.
	I'm sure everybody's aware of all of the uh problems with uh explodo trains and uh you know fascista government guys going crazy, all of that sort of thing.
	Uh at the moment one of the things that's most concerning, I think or should be, is the recent activity on July 5th uh in Fukushima where it's reputed that the um Mox fuel burned and released plutonium into the atmosphere.
	This isn't good.
	A sufficient quantity of plutonium well atomized and spread throughout the northern hemisphere essentially means death for all life on the planet.
	Um plant life might survive, and some of the invertebrates might, uh especially sea animals, but um I don't know about uh none of the uh the rest of us would.
	Plutonium being the way it is, so this is a rather um uh disconcerting event.
	Also, I didn't really believe it until I've seen the recent evidence of it, and but it's quite seems quite true the Japanese have apparently totally given up on any idea of um uh containment on the radiation leak and uh dealing with Fukushima.
	It's like it is suddenly beyond their capacity, as though the uh people that are dealing with it now are some kind of a not subspecies, but uh degenerate form of human, other than the people that invented the device.
	You know, it's a stupid design anyway, placed in a bad position, but we've got hundreds of these damn nuclear reactors everywhere.
	We've got to learn to live with them until we can figure out a way to totally get rid of them and uh use up all the radiation.
	Which is something I'll talk about in a few minutes, but um so uh the recent release of the mox fuel into the air is extremely disconcerting.
	I have a lot of um lots and lots of buddies that are sailors and lots of buddies that are um uh boat builders throughout the islands in the Pacific, and I have uh friends of mine that work for various different uh scientific apparati of the fascista government up and down the west coast and what's known uh euphemistically as region.
	If you live in it, you know about it.
	And uh all these guys that are in the um uh biology business or that have any um any measurement capacity at all or dealing in any way at all with uh the oceans or just uh losing it.
	Now a lot of the people that are in the wildlife business that are uh land based critters are also just uh starting to lose their minds because their charges, you know, the species they're supposed to be watching out for succumbing to the radiation from Fukushima.
	I get a lot of reports from me and by lot, I mean maybe thirty or forty in the last um see, probably three months, maybe more, slightly more than that, uh from people I used to work with that have moved on to other jobs or are you know or vacationing,
	like for instance, um a couple of the uh fisheries guys I know go up every summer in uh muckabout and the islands and uh Queen Charlotte's uh in the Haidagwai country, or further north into the southern uh Alaska.
	And uh this year they took a um excursion plane from uh the mainland and flew into uh deeper part of Alaska at a lake for three or four days and were rather shocked at the level of degradation of the wildlife and uh a lot of degradation of the trees in northern BC.
	Uh I put that down to the Kim Trails myself.
	They were thinking radiation because they're not really clued in, these guys are not really clued in to um all the woo-woo stuff going on, so uh they were just focused on the Fukushima and they were thinking maybe the radiation was killing the trees, but I'm pretty sure it's the aluminum poisoning uh from the um chemtrails.
	Anyway though, uh so uh the radiation issue has really affected uh large lit land uh mammals in um Alaska, uh moose and um uh reindeer and uh polar bear succumbing.
	It's working its way up through the food chain.
	Uh the radiation is rather uh severe by the time it gets to the polar bears and causes them to have um terrible cancers.
	The uh one that the uh these two friends of mine exam were part of an examination of a dead polar bear and autopsy.
	And it had uh spotchy fur would be the best way to put it.
	It actually looked like some kind of mutant chupa copper or something.
	It was very thin.
	Uh it had a formal wasting disease that was caused by uh whatever radiation.
	It was hot, I mean, in the sense that they had a um accurate uh calibrated um uh uh radiation meter, and they were able to determine that indeed parts of the flesh were uh were giving off certain level of clicks per minute higher than the rest of the of the animal, or the r or the background radiation.
	So uh it had had some level of particulate matter lodge in it that probably killed it, but it died actually of uh uh this total uh liver meltdown was how the guy described it.
	He said that the you know, liver tissue isn't all that um connective to begin with, or all that robust in terms of its connectivity.
	I really shouldn't even say that.
	It's not all that um uh structured in terms of the connectivity from our eyes, and he said here it was just a very much a gelatinous mass, and he he saw why it had died.
	And it had all the signs of liver poisoning, uh the uh white tongue and the um uh foam coming out and that kind of thing.
	Uh so uh very bad sign that uh the radiation has gotten to that point.
	They saw a number of moose that were affected, no no dead moose or or anything.
	They um were in the airplane and they saw moose that were just not doing well.
	And he said you could tell that they were in um uh bad molt.
	Uh in other words, the molt uh was uh strange because he said that there wasn't just merely new fur, it was uh totally exposed skin underneath, and uh they were burning from the sun uh that was up there.
	And also it was hot as hell, he said.
	Um let me see if I can say this without getting him into too much trouble.
	Uh they had certain gear with them on the airplane ride up.
	They took some uh video recording of the readings that were being put out by the gear they took with them, and uh some of that may be made public.
	If it does, you'll you'll know uh at that point uh who I'm speaking of.
	Uh but the um they had a background running uh on um internal and external uh temperatures, and they were also um uh monitoring uh ground temperatures while they were there on the ground.
	And as apparently I well, at one point I I think I saw a reading of ninety-six degrees on the ground in Alaska.
	Uh not unheard of, but not that common, even this time of the year.
	Uh Especially where they were at, uh, because they were way to the um uh western edge of um uh the central valley there that runs um uh basically north to south.
	It kind of sweeps up and uh runs along a major line of uh mountains that uh go around on the west coast there, and that's uh they were in this valley area there at a very large lake.
	Uh there's about a thousand lakes, so it doesn't betray very much.
	Anyway, um very high temperatures, uh very sick animals, uh absence of bird life, uh absence of two or three other species.
	Uh one of the guys is a rabbit ornithologist, uh, amateur.
	I mean he's a biologist by trade, but an ornithologist, you know, a bird watcher guy.
	He's hooked and he runs out in funny little shorts in the middle of winter and counts uh birds on January 1, that kind of thing.
	Anyway, um he was saying that you know he was just shocked at the amount of of uh dead silence in areas that should be filled with bird song in the forest.
	And uh it really got to him.
	It just uh uh I mean it materially affected him.
	His voice was was not doing good as a result of this.
	Anyway, so um so there's that on the catch up there.
	Might as well go into some of that at the moment, too.
	Uh my plans here, our plans here are to build this land ship, which we have on our round square foot, um round square feet.com site.
	And the uh land ship is basically uh an alternative uh approach to housing to the um Earth ship, and I'm doing an alternative for a number of different reasons.
	Uh Earth ships are are really cool, they use up waste material, they're you know, solar powered and um uh self-sustaining, and you can even grow your crops on their roofs.
	Uh for myself, though, they're not nice because I don't like living in holes in the ground.
	Uh been there, done that, and it wasn't comfortable, so I just won't be doing that again.
	And uh I like the idea as a sailor of having my uh dwelling uh afloat above the land for a bunch of different reasons, especially an earthquake zone.
	So the idea is that we'll build our platform so that it's rigid unto itself, but that it has a freedom of movement on the poles that will be suspending it above the ground.
	Uh so it'll just kind of rock in the case of earthquakes.
	It's very cheap.
	We're gonna eliminate vast quantities of money involved in building by not involving ourselves in the cement trades, uh, or minimally so if at all.
	The pole building uh structures are uh have a history that goes back well over fourteen thousand fourteen hundred years.
	Uh in fact, uh I think there's even some that go back in Germany uh four or five hundred years BC.
	Uh so that uh we're in a situation with a proven technology that's low cost, and we're gonna upgrade it and enhance it and um improve it and see where we go there.
	Now uh one of our goals here is to set up basically what's going to amount is a 10x labs, uh 10x laboratory.
	Our actual company name here is 10x, and that comes from a Latin phrase 10x propositi, which uh means firmness of resolve or commitment to the principle involved.
	Basically it's a shorthand for commitment, uh, you know, um uh in for a penny, in for a pound, uh what's the rest of that saying?
	Um everybody buy around uh before we're hung and drowned.
	Something like that.
	I mean I can't remember.
	It's an old pirate um uh uh shanty that basically speaks to commitment.
	Loyalty.
	And uh so 10x propositi is the phrase from which we derive our business name.
	We've been 10x uh since 1983.
	Uh a lot of my patents are under that uh patent work is under that name.
	And it's uh basically a laboratory for experiments, and so we're gonna set up our new lab uh at our new Earth ship.
	And one of the things we're gonna do is to uh hopefully be able to to um uh set up things like webcams and keep them running and connected um as we uh install scientific um uh apparati all over the place.
	And I want to do things like uh basically my goal, uh the the short term mission statement you might say is uh the 10x lab's gonna focus the next few years on uh thinking about bioremediation of radiation uh with a specific emphasis on the marine environment.
	And so that's our our short term mission statement is that we're gonna work on getting rid of the radiation, ways to get rid of the radiation out of the ocean uh through harmonizing with what the earth provides us in the way of critters and uh you know uh processes and uh such.
	And so uh we're gonna set up a um uh a lab I've got a guy here that uh we'll call Kale.
	He's uh one of the two fellows Kale and lettuce that used to work for me on boat building and Kale's back helping me finish out the proa so that I can get it out of the boat shed and we can stick the yurts in there temporarily while we uh while Cale and I um go and build the platform upon which to then assemble the yurts and then assemble the rest of our lab over there.
	We have to move our boatshed which is basically a big tent anyway.
	It's one of those RV kind of uh house things um about 45 feet long um uh uh vinyl nylon or vinyl or polyester vinyl cover I don't know which I I can't I don't think it's vinyl.
	Um and uh it's insulated and so on.
	And we'll relocate our um the boat shed over there as well as uh all of our science gear.
	I've got a number of science stations here.
	I have a um operational um solar observatory I built in the early 2000s I want to shift over and then we're gonna just basically set up webcams so that anybody and everybody can tap in and get the results of this.
	Then I'm training Cale to do lab work in the sense of being a lab technician.
	And we're going to start training him in physical oceanography and analyses for working our way towards analyses for radioactive impacts in the local marine environment.
	And so that's fundamentally where we're headed with the new roundsquarefeet.com situation is to examine all different kinds of things for housing, basically rebuilding our environment here because of the changes to the planet.
	Now, we're shifting our focus.
	It's gradual because we haven't got land.
	I'm going to have to store these yurts for I don't know how long and then transport several tons of yurt material through, you know, greater western Washington to wherever we're going to relocate at.
	And I'll talk about that in a minute.
	But our progress will be slow on that.
	don't think it'll be accomplished until maybe this time next year it'll probably take us a year to get everything shifted and um settled in so to speak uh but um uh a lot of work there we're gonna set up uh uh cams for um uh stop motion so that we can capture the whole process of building the uh new land ship uh which is gonna be our version of or our alternative to Earth ships.
	Uh probably be more expensive to build ours although if you built your own yurt it wouldn't be that expensive uh but um our approach um but a lot of that's gonna be because we're gonna incorporate uh things like solar heating for the floors and explore that in this area and move over all of our uh solar electric stuff and uh so it's a fairly expensive proposition to relocate all of the 10x lab stuff there.
	Um anyway um like I say we're gonna focus on bioremediation of uh radiation.
	I have a reason to suspect that the data is providing me certain clues and the ways and means towards that, and I'm pursuing those.
	One thing I want to note is that if we get a situation this year of a red tide on the coast, this will be in the next ALTA report, interpret the red to be as
	rad, as in the sense of radioactive, because of the dinoflagellate that will be involved, it will have a tendency to concentrate not only toxins, but also radioactivity, and so
	uh if we are correct this red rad tide will have a huge and devastating impact on um uh the food chain on the west coast of the Americas both north and south although not way down into South America uh much more from the Gulf of Alaska down to about um oh just a little south of Ecuador.
	So uh you know treat it very seriously because as these uh smaller critters in the ocean go swimming around and collect the radiation, they get it by bigger critters, which get it by bigger critters, and pretty soon the radiation is concentrated into those parts of the big critters that you get in your Macappy meal things, you know, that kind of a deal.
	So I really do suspect there's a real risk of a radiation slash food poisoning outbreak.
	If we see this red tide.
	So if you see it anywhere on the West Coast, by that time uh I bet you that there will be uh radiation into the seafood-based food uh part of the uh protein food chain for humans.
	Uh so say that the red tide was announced uh, you know, the 10th of August or something.
	Uh under those circumstances, you wouldn't want to eat any food, uh seafood that's had been processed, uh say after uh well, I wouldn't want to eat anything anyway out of the Pacific Ocean simply because of the radiation levels, but if you were uh taking that risk and weren't too worried about it, uh it would maybe be,
	say, the 15th of July, something like that, about uh uh three quarters of a month before uh the red tide comes out because our data suggests that by the time the red tide is announced, the uh people will have already had the opportunity to consume some of the uh r radiation-tainted seafood.
	So um and it's gonna be sort of an interesting and different kind of a red tide anyway, in terms of the uh dinoflagellate that's uh involved and the concentration of the toxins and the kind of disease that will be um suspected.
	Uh and I suspect it will be somewhere around the eighth to the say twentieth of August if it's going to occur.
	That just seems to be the indication we've got based on our lunar calendar.
	Um so anyway, so uh back to the 10x labs thing.
	Uh that's one thing we're attempting to do, is we're attempting to do use the data we've got uh that may suggest successful or more successful ways to uh approach uh things like bioremediation of the planet.
	And the reason that we're doing this shift over into round square feet over the course of this next year is because basically I think that the uh we've won in terms of the um uh revolution.
	Uh it hasn't started yet, uh but it it's it cannot not start at this stage.
	We've passed certain thresholds, and there are too many people that are too awake uh and too rabid and vocal about it for the revolution not to occur.
	So this is very similar to the situation in the United States in um 1770 probably 72 or so, when uh we crossed a certain threshold of up to about three percent of the population that basically just said, Oh, this king's gotta go.
	You know, he's a crazy fucker and is is um a whole family of crazy fuckers, and they we've just had it with these bastards, and and we gotta get rid of them.
	Uh plus there were all these, you know, rich wealthy white guys that wanted to steal the country away from the king.
	Uh they were led by George Washington, they took advantage of this popular sentiment, and at that point the revolution was bound to occur and it was bound to uh enter into a war.
	Now, whether or not the war had that war had been successful, note that the revolution would have still been success successful regardless.
	If it if the American Revolutionary War had not finished up and completed the way it did, and say that the British had uh sent an overwhelming force and garrisoned the country, uh there would have been uh you know another tension point eight years later, twelve years later, fourteen years later, and at that point the revolutionary war would have been successful.
	But the revolution would have begun and had been successful once we'd crossed a certain percentage of the total population that was convinced it must occur.
	And I believe that we've crossed that globally now relative to the banker occupation.
	And we have people like Max Kaiser to thank and d and um uh David Ike and uh just innumerable others uh who've really worked their butts off for this to happen.
	And I I see the uh percentages have shifted, I see the actions occurring globally, it's gonna continue.
	The people that are involved are rabid now because they're they're getting some success, so it's making them even more ferocious about this and more outspoken, and success will beget success, and then we'll have uh more popular uprisings that are more successful, and so on.
	And so our global um insurrection against um uh uh occupation by the fuck tard banksters uh and the uh powers that be will engage itself in a form of global warfare.
	Uh not as we think of it in terms of World War III, but rather uh global insurrection.
	Now uh because that is going to occur, uh I'm starting to think already about what will come on the other side of that, because we're gonna have to shift away from uh central power, we're gonna do away with all the central banks on the planet because they're uh uh an aberration and uh uh just a method for raping the people on behalf of the powers that be, and they're not necessary.
	We're going to move to vast quantities of decentralized different approaches, many of which will fail.
	And that's the beauty of it is that those that don't fail will be strong and they'll be robust and they'll be adopted by those people who've had their paradigms shift and fail.
	And so we'll uh grow in this uh rapid um uh not even lockstep, but uh exponential shift of uh feedback loops within feedback loops, uh feeding back into other loops, etc.
	As we uh start progressing into a decentralized world.
	Decentralization is where our strength lies.
	The more volatility we have, the better we're off because we are creatures that benefit from volatility and change.
	And the more volatility we have, the more volatility we will create, and the more creative we will become in creating our volatility, and off we go into even further reaches.
	And so at some point we cross a threshold and it just goes whoosh from that point on, and we're really close to that.
	Um I don't know if it's in my lifetime, but it might be really close to within my lifetime occurring, in which there will have a creative renaissance that will knock the socks off of everybody alive for say the next three or four hundred years, and then maybe we'll get used to it.
	Uh it's gonna be that that uh exceptional.
	So one of the things I'm starting to do is to consider a lot of these things.
	We have to get rid of the radiation, we've got to start cleaning up the oceans, uh, we've got to deal with the um uh species unnamed, unknown, uh but known to be there, uh intelligent uh hominids uh uh with gills that are uh water breathers uh that are tool users and have technology that may be as terrestrial as we are, and they inhabit the bottom of the oceans, and so we're gonna have to come to grips with this and learn to deal with it.
	Uh more on that in the next ULTA report as well.
	Uh so uh uh much of this sort of stuff is um uh within our ability now to start start thinking about, not planning for, and bearing in mind that that any kind of a plan I made is a an invitation for universe to laugh every time I show it to it,
	uh, but also B a um purely my own um uh aberration and in um fantasy about how the world should work, and I suspect or would expect that no one else should adopt my approaches to things because it wouldn't work for them and they've got to do their own.
	And that's where our geniuses, a species lie.
	We're like a vast quantity of neural nets that are self-monitoring in the best of us, um not even self-aware in the worst of us, but that can change.
	Uh and uh as a vast quantities of interacting neural nets, the exponential uh logarithmetically exponential uh capacity for creative change is truly mind blowing.
	I mean it it it will the while the universe is um beyond our con uh ability to conceive, there is nothing in our ability to conceive that we cannot achieve.
	And so uh we're gonna get in get into a huge uh renaissance, a revolutionary period here.
	And that's basically what our round square feet approach is.
	We're gonna go back back to where we once belong, get ourselves uh sort of centered into what it meant means to be human, and then start approaching things differently.
	Uh so for instance, uh here at 10x um uh my recent uh explorations and reading involved uh are involving um uh in-depth study of invertebrates, uh zoology, uh going back to my roots in uh physical oceanography, exploring uh very well written um thinking on uh Taoist uh qi medicine, also known as traditional Chinese medicine.
	At the same time I'm looking into uh their counterpart in um Ayurvedic medicine, and we're examining some of the pathways that were left unexplored with the removal of uh Nicola Tesla.
	So uh one of the things I want to do is I'm gonna put together a uh crowdfunding proposal for this energy device I want to build.
	I've got the basic materials here, I've been able to get people to gift me some really weird stuff, such as I guess 62.5 pounds of uh PZ PZO electric crystal in a particular form.
	And we're gonna um uh muck about with this thing uh chemically and then reconstitute it in an energy device that we hope will will transmit usable amounts of um uh electricity, probably in the range of uh micro um amperage, uh but nonetheless uh continuous based on movement,
	and so uh waste movement in factories, uh shopping malls, and all of this kind of thing uh will be able to be picked up and converted to electricity and and uh uh used in you know uh right at that place, uh, you know, charging um uh devices or put onto the grid or whatever.
	Further, the the device itself, already the initial prototype shows uh real um uh interesting uh side benefit of of helping dampen um a resonant uh uh frequency uh propagation.
	So if you have an area that's suffering from uh too many people walking and uh and the structure is building up a um uh frequency and getting into the dangerous area just based on how people are walking across it, uh law the um galloping girdie uh Tekomanaros bridge that got into one of those situations with wind, then you could use these devices uh to uh dampen out that uh that motion, as well as at the same time pick up electricity, usable levels of electricity from it.
	And then we're gonna hook up with this um uh uh group we hope this uh uh group of interstellar aliens that has uh has set itself up in um uh Los Vegas, Nevada, that has a uh uh a 3D printer.
	And um this interstellar outfit is gonna maybe do a a little prototype for us of this structure that I've designed uh that we're gonna have Kale investigate as a um active kinetic energy generating device.
	In other words, uh you would just uh incorporate this into clothing, uh specific kinds and places and so on.
	And uh then as you moved around, you generate enough electricity to keep your cell phone running without its battery.
	Uh who knows how much you you may be able to generate just by sitting around fidgeting.
	Uh we just don't know.
	But uh the early tests on it show that it really does work very well.
	Uh again, it's a piezoelectric device, we need some cell structure things uh uh created for us uh in um uh probably nylon, but in any event we'll get into that later.
	Uh so uh I'm gonna put together this um crowdfunding proposal.
	I'll drop it on either Kickstarter or IndigoGo because I want to s try that um mechanism to fund this particular operation, with the idea being that the money would be used to purchase materials and to uh set up a um uh lab structure away from our uh living quarters on the new property, uh, in which we could safely explore uh electrical issues without involving ourselves in the circuitry.
	Um and um and so and also employ uh be able to employ Kale, he's a really good worker and uh works his ass off.
	And uh formerly homeless kid, uh when I first encountered him, I mean it's a kind of an interesting story.
	He's living in a homemade wiki up um uh illegally on some state land and uh really rough life, etc.
	etc.
	Uh totally turned his life around and is uh you know a productive um uh wake and aware citizen attempting to you know uh help the planet and uh fuck the fascistas.
	Um anyway, uh so we're gonna do this on uh one of those two, Kickstarter or Indiegogo, and I'll write up how the results go and and all of that sort of thing, and and let you know because that alone is an interesting experiment, just to have a uh perspective of going through that process.
	Uh probably we're not gonna be shooting for that much money, I just need to keep him employed for a couple of months on these, and then we'll uh the results of this first round, unfortunately, probably won't be a a device per se, although we may have several prototypes by that point.
	Um probably at the end of the results uh of the first round of funding would just be a whole series of uh graphs and um uh data about how various different uh prototypes failed to work because we're still in that stage.
	And I don't know if either of those two funding uh sources are uh adequate or good for this particular process.
	But I'll just have to investigate those.
	We've got a lot of stuff going on here.
	Uh trying to get all of this done, trying to find property.
	One of the ways one of the things we're doing is to try and find um neglected property to remediate as part of the um uh movement of the landship into it and also to show that it's possible to uh site a uh really cool house uh without involving yourself with vast quantities of machinery ripping the guts out of the earth uh in order to do so.
	You don't need a level spot to build a house on.
	Uh if you go about it the right way, it's even far cheaper.
	And uh so that's one of the things is we're looking, and I'm uh unfortunately I'm in the situation where I'm looking for uh waterfront uh to Puget Sound or or Hood Canal so that we can set up this marine um remediation study that we're gonna have to do.
	And it's gonna take a couple of years, maybe four or five really, uh, because of the species I'm gonna have to investigate.
	I've got some ideas on what might work and an approach to it all.
	Um but uh a lot of experimentation there, but I need daily access to the um uh in the water kind of experiments, and I need it in a way that you know I won't be hassled by um officialdom for what I'm gonna do.
	I'm not gonna screw around with the planet, I'm actually just merely going to put in uh sensor arrays in particular ways to pick up on uh specific changes relative to ongoing conditions that I'll be monitoring from uh Fukushima and other areas.
	I don't want to get any more specific about that.
	Um anyway, I guess that'll uh about do it for this.
	I've got uh three batches of resin I got on today, and I had kale in there sanding or uh removing wire from our uh habitat on the proa.
	These little wires are what tie it all together while you put uh little bits of uh fiberglass uh tape and uh resin on to hold it together, and then you get back and you sand the hell out of it, and you put um all kinds of fiberglass cloth and resin all over it, and uh you end up with this hard little eggshell kind of thing.
	Anyway, and so we're in that process.
	We've got a month from today before the yurtsters go to ship and um we've got to get the boat uh weathertight and um out of the shed and the alma, same there.
	And then actually we've got to rig it up and uh go do some sailing experiments um in August while we're hunting for land.
	And um I've been invited to do a uh talk at uh Port Townsend at the uh wooden boat deal this year if I can sail my ass up there, and I may well do that.
	Uh Kale uh is thinking maybe you can take a couple of days uh away from his family obligations and uh sail up with me, and we might do a serious shakedown cruise and sail up to Port Townsend and uh rattle on for a little while about a few things and a talk and then nosh on some food and uh uh sail back the next day uh and take our uh experiments on the road, so to speak.
	Uh anyway, that's the plan at the moment.
	Universe is laughing, it's chuckling, I can hear it in the background.
	Uh it's an old Buddhist saying, but I think it applies to anybody, you know, you want to make universe laugh, uh show it your plan.
	So anyway.
	Um there we are, guys, you know, planet Earth under attack, uh space aliens are due any day now, that kind of thing.
	Uh rampaging government gone uh batshit with its uh head so far up its ass it can see itself.
	And uh situation uh normal, all fucked up, and it's up to us to change that.
	And I sure as hell ain't waiting for any change I can believe in.
	Thank you.
