By my good friend phil rude, who is a very talented artist and i hired him to make a new logo and to make new artwork. Uh, partly because i want to support a local artist, who is very, very talented, and a good friend. And honestly partly because i wanted like it's motivation for me to keep making the podcast like I just spent money on a new logo, so maybe i'll Want to keep doing the podcast in a way. It's been nice to not. To the podcast, like i've enjoyed. The break in a way. I've enjoyed the break, but i really also miss doing it. And i really want to get back to doing it. But under this present circumstances i cannot do it. I am Uh, outside of a travel trailer underneath a little tent. Drinking a beer right now. I had a moment to talk to you. I didn't know. Uh, if i was going to put anything on the feed, Or not. Um, You heard my good friend, melissa. She did a an episode for me. Um, it's fantastic. I have a couple more episodes coming out from people who have volunteered to step in and Uh, Make sure that there's new content. On my feed until i can. Get back to doing what i want to do, which is talking into a microphone about pirates. To all of you in a way, hopefully, that's entertaining and funny and educational, all the stuff that i enjoy about podcasting and that i enjoy doing about podcasting. Uh, i just can't do it right now. I'm looking at eight by 16. Storage unit. That has my microphone and my mixing board and all my stuff in it. And i can't use it right now for what i want to use it for and i don't want to like record all my podcasts through my phone, like i'm doing right now because Uh, Probably sounds like garbage, and you could probably hear the fireworks behind me because New Year's Eve, And, I don't want to do podcasts that sound like this. I don't wanna assault your ears. But, A lot of you gave to my Um, go fund me. Account that somebody had set up for me, and i really To appreciate that.

But we were dry. So, we figured this time would be. Would be different. I mean, this we figured this type would be the same. I'm not going to edit any of this. I'm so sorry. Um, We figured this time would be the same and so we went to a friend's house to evacuate. Because when you're told to evacuate from her hurricane, you evacuate from her hurricane, you don't argue. So we evacuated and we figured we would be in the house. Spore. Um, you know Two or three days. And then we would come home.
