| Hello humans, hello humans. | |
| It's uh August 1, 6.32 a.m. here on the Pacific coast. | |
| I'm gonna make two of these audios. | |
| This one's gonna be hopefully reasonably short because I've got to go in and get some breakfast. | |
| And I just need to explain my circumstances here in a little bit more detailed fashion than I have in the past. | |
| The second one's gonna be about data. | |
| I've got another another five uh dat tapes. | |
| Uh these are digital audio tapes that had been converted uh long time ago, uh not by me, but I mean the industry uh into carrying um digital data, really reliable ways to ship data. | |
| Uh you can put magnets on them and they um they can be erased that way, uh, but it wouldn't be sufficient to get everything because of the density of the tape. | |
| Anyway, so I'll make another one of these audios on uh the data and what I've found so far, and explain some of that anyway. | |
| So it's very difficult for me. | |
| Um about six weeks ago, my wife started experiencing some health episodes. | |
| Uh these led to a uh three distinct uh health crises that led to a uh two periods of falls. | |
| Okay. | |
| Uh one basic fall, some damage, and then uh uh five days later, uh another major fall. | |
| And so over the course of the last six weeks, uh she had to go into the hospital. | |
| Uh she's had uh continuing episodes in this health crashing, and um has had to have surgery and has had to go into a um rehabilitation center. | |
| The issue now is that or one of the many issues, so I've been up uh all night and I'm likely to be a little bit um disjointed in this, but uh the issues now uh have basically gotten to the point where I'm not capable of handling her healthcare needs. | |
| Uh we're, you know, we're both 71, so uh it it was this is sort of what I was attempting to uh end run, so to speak, by having the addition to the house put on because I was basically going to build a room that would be suitable as a hospital kind of a setting, right? | |
| We don't have that. | |
| It's like it's good gonna be maybe a year if I could get the um, you know, given our circumstances, it might be a year before there'd be any completion on this uh addition. | |
| Anyway, uh so uh our timing was bad, her health collapsed ahead of that, uh, and she's in a rehab facility now. | |
| And uh because of the oxygen needs and other things, uh she needs uh nursing care, so it she had to be moved inland to where we could get um adequate facility. | |
| This has put a large strain on us. | |
| She's uh several hours away from me, so just visiting her is a um uh an issue, and then also she's had this uh continuing level of uh health degradation. | |
| In any event though, so uh my circumstances have greatly changed, and uh however um in the future I won't be responsible for her health care as long as these conditions persist. | |
| Uh you know, it's tricky doing oxygen at home and all of that kind of stuff, right? | |
| And I'm so far out on the coast that I'm unable to uh get like nursing staff to assist me. | |
| So it's just one of those things. | |
| It just it just happened that way. | |
| In any event. | |
| So I'm a little unsettled in terms of what I'm going to be doing and where I'm going to be doing it here in the future. | |
| This is just a by way of a heads up. | |
| My circumstances are such that it's unlikely that I would be doing audios in vehicles anymore because of the need or not need, but because of the circumstances and having to take people along and so on. | |
| Just anyway, just sort of a heads up. | |
| My circumstances have radically changed. | |
| They're not going to return to my previous method of uh or previous flow of how I lived. | |
| And so this will be a little bit disjointed. | |
| And after I've had some food here and recovered from the um the trip, I mean I got back in time. | |
| It's the tourists are out here in mass, and I don't like taking my large dogs down on the beach when the beach is crowded with um uh normies and normie kids and normie dogs. | |
| They frequently let the normie dogs off leash, and I've got some very large, very aggressive dogs that know I'm a paranoid son of a bitch, and they want to protect me. | |
| So it's just best that they not encounter uh little ankle biters from the tourists. | |
| So, in order to have a good adequate beach walk, we've got to get down there early. | |
| This worked out today because we were on the beach at a little after five, so we got to see the sunrise, and uh had a good two mile stomp. | |
| Um anyway, that's that's basically it here. | |
| Just uh noting that um time has advanced and circumstances have changed. | |
| Uh I'm going to see what I want to do, and um uh we'll see how things proceed in the future. | |
| All of it at this stage for me and and my circumstances is basically unknown. | |
| Now, on the other side of that, I will do another audio here because I um uh do have these uh uh five dat tapes, four of which are full, uh one of which I think is um I just cursely examined it. | |
| Um they came yesterday when I wasn't here, and um I just cursely examined the thing, and it appears to be a uh rundown on metadata and some um stuff on how they did the gathering for me of the data. | |
| So this is cool. | |
| Anyway, sort of, you know, and uh an inbuilt audit trail referential uh integrity check uh within the data itself. | |
| It's always very cool when people do that for you if you're uh taking their data and assuming that they're following your instructions. |
