It's like the most insane day 31 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.400 of the year so far for us. 32 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:40.959 Here there you go, it's another small miracle, right Yeah, 33 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.079 hey man, A couple of weeks ago, you briefly mentioned 34 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:47.000 that you were doing a dog walking service. Is that 35 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.480 Is that doing anything? Like are you walking dogs and 36 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:50.400 stuff or what's going on? 37 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:56.480 I did a couple and then yeah, my page, like 38 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.560 I paid for like the background check, and I paid 39 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.640 like the like the pit whatever, it's like fifty nine 40 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.519 bucks or whatever. Then it clears you would like through 41 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.799 your fingerprints and does like, you know, make sure you're 42 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.240 safe to drive their dog or whatever to the park 43 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.639 and that I'm still trying to get that figured out. 44 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:16.680 So I don't know. I guess I got a refunding 45 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:17.879 my money, and then I got to sign up for 46 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:19.960 it again, so I don't have that, And I just 47 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.400 got my reviews. My customer reviews from before didn't go 48 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.520 They didn't load in for whatever reason, for like five 49 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.879 or six tries, so I didn't have any I didn't 50 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.479 have any references you need references and stuff, and then 51 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.560 create a hates my picture. You're not gonna get any 52 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.319 calls with that picture. I'm like, it's a real picture. 53 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.400 I want to see the picture. What does that look like? 54 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:43.439 Not good? 55 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:45.680 I think you should go for the one where you're 56 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.719 holding like the boomerang and you've got the hat. 57 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.080 Oh yeah, that's a good one. 58 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.280 You can't have a hat on in the picture, otherwise 59 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.840 I'd be the photo for sure. 60 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.879 Hey, well, there's a few dozen people listening right now 61 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.000 onto this podcast. Maybe you can enlist them for some 62 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.400 either anybody out there neither dog walked in the Humboldt area, 63 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.639 or perhaps we need a bunch of fake reviews or 64 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.759 cat fed or yeah, yeah, if you want to feed 65 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.560 a cat or feed a cat to something. Maybe I 66 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.560 don't know a lot of options here and. 67 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.159 No dog caresoning. 68 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.039 So did you guys get your week's worth of magic 69 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:23.800 mind samples? 70 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:24.280 Yeah? 71 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:25.280 I got those. I got those. 72 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:25.599 Yeah. 73 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.280 I've been doing it all week long too, And I 74 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.879 like getting these things that they help. You know, I'm 75 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.439 a coffee kind of guy, but these things absolutely help. 76 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.319 They don't take the place of coffee. They kind of 77 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.039 smooth it out. In a way, you know what I mean. 78 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.599 Oh yeah, that's what I really love about it. I 79 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.879 didn't try to like change my daily routine because I 80 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.159 am a huge coffee person and I wake up super early. 81 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.560 So what I've been using it for is as like 82 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.879 a post workout, because I workout every morning and then 83 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.360 I have first meal of the day and that's when 84 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.280 I get started on work, especially on this podcast for editing. 85 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.960 So I use it like the way that they intended 86 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.719 is sort of like a mental performance shot, and I 87 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.919 do find it helps me a lot because editing this 88 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.759 show is like you're walking a tight rope of attention. 89 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.680 It requires laser focus, and I love it for that. 90 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.680 Yeah, you know, I actually drink it before I go 91 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.120 to do workouts. It doesn't get me generatet all. That's 92 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.680 what I like about it. It's not a physical like 93 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.879 I'm feeling my heart pomp faster. As for us, I 94 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.279 feel more alert. 95 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.920 It's kind of taken the place of my afternoon coffee 96 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.040 because you know, in the morning, I have coffee. It's 97 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:26.800 one of my favorite parts of the day. Melissa and 98 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.600 I hang out and this is one of honestly one 99 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.319 of my favorite parts of the day, so I'll never 100 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.120 replace coffee, but in the afternoon, especially if I'm a 101 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.120 work I'm at the museum or something like that, or 102 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:36.439 even out in the woods. I've taken these in the 103 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.639 woods because they're like little containers of this stuff and 104 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.680 you can take them anywhere basically in the afternoon when 105 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.920 you start fading and it's time for that nap or 106 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.319 something like that. This has replaced my afternoon coffee, and 107 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.079 I kind of like that. 108 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.519 I use it for the same purpose too, so I 109 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.519 use I've been using it twice a day because they 110 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.160 sent quite a few bottles, and I do love, like 111 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.279 you said, just the portability of it, because you don't 112 00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.399 have to refrigerate it, so you can take them on 113 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.600 the go and it doesn't matter if they're at room temperature. 114 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.759 But I will take one in the afternoon because I 115 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.879 spend the first part of the day editing this show 116 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.199 and sort of put off, like all my phone calls 117 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.959 and everything until that's done. So usually by the time 118 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:12.680 I reach that part of the day, my brain's a 119 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.879 little fried from staring at a screen and all the editing, 120 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.800 and so another shot of magic mind and then I'm 121 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.000 I'm alert and focused and ready to get on the 122 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.480 phone and talk squatch. 123 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:23.920 What I'd like about it, because I got to be 124 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.000 careful about my coffee. I am a stress case. I 125 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.560 may not come across that way in the radio or 126 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.879 anything like that, but people who know me know that 127 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.279 I'm a stress case. I'm always fired up about something 128 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.879 and stressed out or whatever. Not sleeping well, that kind 129 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.319 of stuff. I guess that's what happens when you have 130 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.639 three or four part time jobs. You're trying to patch 131 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.399 together all the time. But the afternoon coffee sometimes used 132 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.160 to keep me up, which started this whole cycle. It's like, oh, 133 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.480 I can't fall asleep until two in the morning, but 134 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.279 I have to wake up at six or eight or 135 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.319 something like that, and then I'm just perpetually tired. This 136 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.079 thing is not a caffeine substitute. Therefore it doesn't get 137 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.839 me all jittery and all wonked out. You know. It's 138 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.560 just a move uplifting sort of thing that doesn't affect 139 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.560 me like until ten eleven and twelve one in the morning, 140 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.879 like coffee sometimes does if I drink it too late. 141 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.240 That's why I don't drink caffeine, because it just gets 142 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.680 me sent at Jacked and Jenry and this doesn't do that. 143 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.519 Magic Mind is so confident in what they've built they'll 144 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.600 actually refund one hundred percent, no questions asked for any 145 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.399 customers for up to one hundred days after buying. That's 146 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.560 pretty remarkable. Not a whole lot of companies will stand 147 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.000 by their product like that, But in my experience, it's 148 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:29.839 been great. I've been using it twice a day now 149 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.800 for a week straight and plan on continuing that trend. 150 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.480 And you know, we have a lot of international listeners 151 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.199 as well.

I know I've been 191 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.240 teasing you about it on the air and stuff like 192 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:45.879 that for a long time, and I do appreciate you 193 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.399 being so good natured about it. But you know, on 194 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.200 one side, I do have a wife who's winging, so 195 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.320 what's up with bobas trailer? And then the other side 196 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.879 I'm looking at like, okay, well you'll see when you 197 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.200 get here, like what the plans are for, you know, 198 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.600 walling up a portion of the of the outbuilding. And 199 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.240 of course I got my new lights up, which took forever, 200 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.559 of course, because I did it myself and I had 201 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.159 to learn about electricity and stuff like that. But the 202 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.480 one electrical panel I don't have up is the one 203 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.639 right above where your trailer is, So I got to 204 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.559 kind of wait for that too, so you'll see you'll 205 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.440 see why I've been poking you a little bit for it. 206 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.799 So it's gonna lose a lot of class in that place, 207 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:22.840 I know. 208 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.120 And of course, and again I'll be a little sad. 209 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.000 I'll be sure to videotape it leaving though. 210 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.440 You should smash a champagne bottle across it as it leaves. 211 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.480 It would shatter. But why'd you break my trailer, dude? 212 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.879 But yeah, it's still a good shape, man, as good 213 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.240 as good as shape as it was when it showed 214 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:42.879 up at least, you know. 215 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.919 Yeah, it's in the same shape as when I left it. 216 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.200 That's really good. Yeah. 217 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.840 Well, it's gonna be kind of a challenge to get 218 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.039 it out of there, thinking about it, because we have 219 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.480 a mill out in front of the outbuilding now, like 220 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.320 one of those portable mills, uh huh, yeah, so we 221 00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:58.559 have to move that around a little bit. I have 222 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.320 to start thinking about that. When when you get some 223 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.200 dates finalized for coming down, you're gonna be around for 224 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:08.919 you think you're gonna be around for a couple of days. Yeah, cool, cool. 225 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:10.679 I'll try to figure out the best place to go 226 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.279 out in the woods at that point too. Then take 227 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:12.919 you out and do that. 228 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.679 Maybe. Yeah, I was gonna try to do a couple 229 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.120 of big pet like do some of that re ciling, 230 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.799 and I wanted to put a maybe like a diamond 231 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:25.799 plate guard over the front lower part of the trailer 232 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.159 where it takes a lot of other gravel pop, you know, 233 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.480 flying up and hitting it there. 234 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.000 Oh, okay, gotcha. I was thinking of a diamond plate. 235 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:34.960 It's like a grill. I know that you wanted to 236 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.080 do diamond You want to have a grill on your teeth. 237 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.000 At one point that was a big point of view, 238 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.960 like an abalone grill if I remember correctly, Yeah, that 239 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.320 would have really glamorized your smile dramatically. 240 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:52.480 I think it would have. Definitely, there's no doubt about that. 241 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.360 Awesome. Yeah, I was out yesterday. I didn't get any 242 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.519 tracks or anything like that, because you know, they are 243 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.399 pretty rare. I mean, I always talked about the good 244 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.360 stuff we get out there, so it seems like clip 245 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.519 finds tracks all the time. Now I don't. There's a 246 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.159 lot of days I go where I don't even talk 247 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.679 about it. But I put about four or five miles 248 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.639 under my boots yesterday, walked all these different roads and 249 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.759 pulled some cameras and stuff like that. But at one 250 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.399 particular place, man, I ran into a real big bear. 251 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.360 Holy smokes. So I ran into a real big bear there. 252 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.559 I pushed into this one road that a decommissioned road 253 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.639 that I'd never been down before, but it has been 254 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.759 you know, every time I drive by, the road gives 255 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:31.480 me that one of those come hither looks, you know, 256 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.600 like you got to come walk on me and look 257 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.600 how great I am? Super sexy. So so I parked 258 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.639 there on my way out yesterday, kind of the last 259 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.440 stop of the day, around five thirty or six or 260 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.799 something yesterday, parked there, start walking down the road and 261 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.399 it is it is a rough road for the first 262 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.879 two three hundred yards or so, like really torn up. 263 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:50.679 And after that I kind of smoothed out a bit, 264 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.279 but it's, you know, it's rough going. And so another 265 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.720 couple of hundred yards down the road, I get to 266 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:57.559 the spot and looking at the time, I think, well, 267 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.080 I gotta get I got it. I got stuff I 268 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.960 gotta do tonight too. I got to get home. So 269 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.480 I say, well, this is a cool road. I'm going 270 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.240 to put a button in it. And I just sat 271 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:05.759 down because that's one of the things I like doing. 272 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.039 Like the last couple of bigfoot encounters that either I 273 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.840 have had or friends of mine have had, they weren't 274 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.559 doing anything at the time. They weren't doing any antagonistic 275 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.600 no knocking, no yelling, nothing. They're just there and the 276 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.960 bigfoot's happened to be there, right, So that's kind of 277 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.480 one of the things I'm doing a lot. And also 278 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.360 when I went out with my buddy Gary, who is 279 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:24.759 a real big hunter, he says, let me show you 280 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.639 how a lot of people hunt on the move, Cliff, 281 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.159 and you know, and I'm sure there's a five hundred 282 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.159 hunters who listened. They go, you didn't know that, Cliff. 283 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.360 You know whatever, I'm not a hunter. How would I know? 284 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.919 So what Gary does is takes three steps and stops 285 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:38.759 for thirty seconds, you know, one of those things. And 286 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.000 he says, yeah, I've shot a lot of animals that way. 287 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.600 You know, if one is prone to shooting animals, that's 288 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:44.799 a good way to do it. I guess so, But 289 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:46.600 I'm not exactly prone to shooting them, but I would 290 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.519 like to see them. So I've been doing that a lot. 291 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.480 I've been going to a certain spot then like sitting 292 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.039 my ass down basically and waiting around for five minutes 293 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.360 and just seeing what happens. So at the point I 294 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.720 decided to turn around on this road, I just sit 295 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.120 down on the ground. And then two or three minutes 296 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.120 after I'm sitting there, there's a there's a crack behind me, 297 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.639 like a pop a brush pop, you know. I go, oh, 298 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:08.759 I wonder if that's the wind because there's a slight breeze, 299 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:10.720 or if that's something, you know, And then I hear 300 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.240 it again another minute later, two minutes later, I go, oh, 301 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:15.000 maybe that's an elk or a deer or something, because 302 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.039 there's all sorts of deer and elk sign everywhere right. 303 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.679 And then a moment or two after that, crack crack 304 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.919 crack pop pop crap, and then I say, oh, shoot, 305 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.799 something's moving, and it's moving out towards the road. And 306 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.039 so about maybe one hundred yards at the most, probably 307 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.440 more like eighty yards something like that, I see something 308 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.399 black moving through the brush on the left hand side. 309 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.440 I go, oh, shoot, that's not a deer and elk. 310 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.440 I hope it's a sasquatch because if it's not, that's 311 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.919 a bear. And it sure enough it's a big old bear, 312 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.200 A big old bear. You know. It had to be 313 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.720 two to three hundred pounds, you know, it was. It 314 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.600 was a pretty big bear for the kind of bears 315 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.720 we get around here, you know. It kind of came 316 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.759 up to my waist or so maybe my belly button, yeah, 317 00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.679 you know. And it didn't see me, and I'm just 318 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.960 I'm standing there because I didn't want to surprise it 319 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.519 or and I'm just standing on the road. It didn't 320 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.200 see me, just assumed I wasn't there, kind of walked 321 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:09.720 out on the road and I went like, ah, like 322 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.759 that at it, just like I was disappointed, like oh shoot. 323 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.559 And then and it looked at me and then turnedtailed 324 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.720 and ran. But it did look at me for about 325 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.879 a second before it ran. And it's amazing how many 326 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:25.120 thoughts went through my mind during that one second, because 327 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.120 this is one of those times, man, I just didn't 328 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.879 bring my bear spray. It was back in the car, 329 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.879 you know, a thousand yards from where I was, and 330 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.399 it's like, shoot, man, I just really should have brought 331 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.120 my bear spray. And like that one second, looking at 332 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.720 the bear in the face when it was looking at me, 333 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.799 I remember thinking very specifically I wonder what's going to 334 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:47.720 happen next, because it could either ruin my day, change 335 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.159 my life and my life, or have a decent story 336 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.960 for the podcast today. And luckily the latter happened. So 337 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.840 I've got a beautiful bear, man, just a beautiful bear. 338 00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:59.919 And I keep thinking of these people who see sasquat 339 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:01.799 as to say, oh, yeah, it looked it was a 340 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.799 color of a black bear.

Talked to him about some possibilities about working 373 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.240 together somehow, and I meet him face to face and 374 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.879 build a relationship there. There's a couple other things I 375 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.320 want to do in that general area as well, So 376 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.440 hopefully i'll make it down there. I don't know when, though, 377 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.600 I mean, like, you know, summer calendars fill up really fast. 378 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.559 I know, summer's freaking halfway over. 379 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.440 I know, it's middle of July right now. 380 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:41.919 It's insane. It's insane. 381 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.519 It'll be over before we know it. 382 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.799 It was cold here like on the on the North coast, 383 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.919 you know, until late in the year, I mean like June. 384 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.440 We still there was still like cold in June, you know, 385 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.720 and then there's really nice last week and a half, 386 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.360 two weeks, like really nice. 387 00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:58.960 I do like the weather. But being out in the 388 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.200 woods yesterday, the bugs are out in force. Man, it 389 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.559 is insane, that's what it was saying. 390 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.559 It's bad. 391 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.920 The air, the ground's all crunchy, so the tracking is terrible. 392 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.039 You know, it's hot out there, of course, you know, 393 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.480 the water's real low. Muddy spots are few and far 394 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.519 between for prints. Bugs are everywhere. Nico and Keith try 395 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.240 to get up to the Blueberry Bog and they lasted 396 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:24.640 all of five minutes before they said screw this, and 397 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.680 then they renamed the area the blueberry Bug because it 398 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.440 was just insane, like it was. The mosquitoes were in 399 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.680 their eyes and their ears and their mouths. They said, 400 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:34.640 it was really bad. 401 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:36.799
