 Okay, let me just make sure it catches up. Okay, it's not customary for me to do a live two days in a row. I just did my Sunday live yesterday, which is like kind of becoming a weekly thing now. But anyone who saw that knows that I had this cut on the back of my knuckle that I got from some barnacles on the bottom of the boat. And I figured I should say something about it because I'm probably not going to post any videos this week because I can't use my freaking hand. Well, I mean, I could use it, but if I close my hand, the cut opens up and I haven't closed my hand all day and it looks like it's closed and maybe healing. So I don't want to use my hand, you know? So anyway, if you're wondering why I'm not getting any stuff done for a few days and not posting any videos, it's because my freaking hand. It's fine though. I think it's gonna heal fine. It is a little swollen, which is not great, but I'm mostly just trying to make sure I don't rip it open again. And this morning I woke up after sleeping with my hand flat all night, very carefully making sure I don't close my hand so it wouldn't rip the thing open. And then this morning, you know, it was kind of swollen and I just had to make the decision. Do I go and just do my usual stuff and maybe rip the cut open again or do I just spend a couple of days just resting? So I decided to go with the resting. So while I'm doing that, I'm trying not to go crazy and get too antsy or frustrated. And I haven't even eaten anything today. I didn't do morning exercises. I don't need any antibiotics. I think it's fine. I've put some antibiotic cream on there and I think it's fine. Someone just commented, I need antibiotics. I don't, to me, antibiotics, I like a last resort. I don't, this is gonna start a whole argument. Anyway, doesn't matter. So let me show you some of the stuff that I was hoping to work on today, but am not. Okay, one thing is on my roof, I finally got, oh, soak it in salt water. Maybe I will do that. I'm gonna do that after. Well, that would totally help, wouldn't it? Yeah, I have salt and I have water. Okay, I'm gonna soak it in salt water after this. I might wash off my antibacterial ointment here, but I can put some more on. Anyway, I finally got the two last dragon scales done on the fourth row of my roof tiles, like last week sometime. So I started making a video of that and in that video I was gonna make the, make my scaffolding ladder thing go up to the next level so I can reach the fifth layer. And let me reverse my camera here so you see what's behind me, no, in front of me. So those two pieces of wood there are for my ladder scaffolding thing. And then I've got another piece of wood here, that's for it. And now, you know, now that's just sitting there waiting to go. But yeah, I'm eager to get the next row of dragon scales on there. Cause now I'm getting closer to the middle of the building that the rows are getting smaller. It's kind of like an accelerating thing, which is nice. Another thing I'm working on. So I have a bunch of boats, like of varying sizes. My biggest boat, the cargo boat called the shark slicer, cause you know, it slices up the sharks when it's zooming around. I've never hit a shark, don't worry. Anyway, it's called the shark slicer. It's my biggest boat. It's like 30 feet long, somewhere around there. I haven't used it in a while. So I decided recently to kind of refurbish it, change some things on it and I want to start using it again. Partly cause I really like the boat. It's an awesome boat. And then also cause there are some bigger things that I want to move around in the near future. So I want to get that going again. But I don't just want to have it the way it was before. I figure since I'm, you know, kind of fixing it up, I might as well do some improvements too. So I'm going to add pedal power to it. Cause I really like having pedal power on my boats. Even if I'm, I don't really need it at any particular time. Like, you know, it also has solar panels on it. If I'm driving in the sun, I get plenty of sun to run a motor. I can drive around on the sun. But even then, you know, it's kind of nice to be like, hey, I'll make myself go 5% faster with my pedal power. And then I'm not just sitting there doing nothing. I can get a bit of exercise and do some stuff. You know, I really like having pedal power on my boats. Plus it's like the best emergency power. Cause like, if even, even when I had batteries on the boat, if the batteries died and the motor died and everything else died, I can still pedal unless my legs get broken or something. So I got, last time I went to town, which was Wednesday, I got, oh, I don't want to pull it out, right over, right over there. Let's see, is that it? Yeah, right there. Is that PVC pipe? They're like 20 feet long, I think, something like that. But it's a one inch PVC pipe and I got a bunch of 90 degree connectors, like 12. So I can make, you know, a pedal thing. Where's my, where's my paper, the drawing? So basically this blue line here, ah, don't move my finger. This blue line here is what I have to make. And the last time I made pedal power, I just took a PVC pipe, melted it with a candle and, you know, bent every 90 degree angle very carefully to get the 90 degree angles. And this time I thought I would spoil myself and actually buy some 90 degree angles so I can just cut the pipe into pieces and stick it together. And these are already 90 degrees, so I don't have to measure them. So that's great. But I was, I was gonna put that together today, but I'm afraid if I go and start sawing it I'm gonna rip out, rip open this knuckle again. Anyway, I'm excited to get pedal power on my, on my bigger boat. Yeah, I mean, I just have lots of stuff going on. I could, I could just look around and find piles of more stuff. But yeah, so right now I'm just kind of chilling, trying not to be antsy or frustrated just like, you know what it's like when you have stuff you want to do and stuff you need to do and you can't do it. And I'm, you know, a lot of people who watch this channel are like me, like you're the one who takes care of stuff. You know, you're like the buck stops here. Like I, whatever, whatever needs to be taken care of if no one else is doing it, I'm doing it. Like I, nothing gets past me. I take care of everything, right? So, you know, for everyone else out here who's like that, you know what it's like when you're, when you're unable. So it's kind of frustrating. So I'm just kind of hanging out here by myself, trying not to, trying not to be frustrated. And I did just go have a shower. So that made me feel a little better. Although it was a little bit weird going to have a shower when I haven't done anything all day. Cause usually, you know, I get all sweaty and muddy or, you know, depending on what I'm doing, I get grease on myself. Usually I get dirty by the end of the day. So when I go have a shower, it's like, yeah, I'm going to have a real shower. But today it was just like, well, I'm just going to have a shower, even though I'm not that dirty, just to keep off, you know, the normal human stinkiness. Ah, I smell pretty good, man. And I'm going to go eat some food. I didn't eat anything yet today, because I figured maybe I'll just give my digestive system a rest too, because most days, you know, I work so hard that by the end of the day, I'm eating dinner until I get bloated and I'm still hungry, but I'm like, I can't eat anymore. So it's just kind of hard to keep up with all the calories I'm burning. So it is kind of nice to have a day where I just don't eat much. But I'm getting pretty hungry now. So I'm going to go eat something before it gets dark or anything. And let's see what you guys are. I see some comments here. Oh, maybe I should use my... So someone said I should put this in saltwater. I think that's a good idea. I don't think I need antibiotics. It's not like discolored or anything. It's just, I'm actually kind of thinking maybe my hand has swelled up to like close up the cut, because it is very close now. The skin will kind of swelled up and just close the cut, so that's good. And I think that if I went out and used my hand, the swelling would go down. Kind of like when you twist an ankle and your ankle will swell up really bad unless you walk it off and then you walk it off and you kind of keep using it, it doesn't swell up. But the only reason I'm not doing that is because the cut, I don't want to reopen the cut. Anyway, as a kid I used to step on rusty nails all the time. Yeah, me too. Oh, speaking of that, I stepped on some pointy sticks recently and I have a couple, like three cuts on my left foot, on the bottom of my left foot. So they're gonna get a chance to heal. And I also had this little twinge in my right knee from like digging and twisting while I was digging. So that'll get a couple days of rest. So, I guess it's good to get a couple days of rest now and then anyway, I used to step on rusty nails all the time, had to go to school with my father's boots as my foot was so swelled up. Saltwater works, yeah. I'm gonna, thanks for whoever mentioned that because yeah, I mean, my brain is just kind of like not on right now because I'm just plop. Cargo boat is cool, looks sturdy. Yeah, the cargo boat is amazing. The other thing is really strong. It's easily my thickest walled boat and the pieces going across connecting it are really, really strong. I wanna start driving that boat more. It's also my only boat where you can go and get inside the boat because inside the pontoons, you know, there's a door you can get right in there. I've slept in there when I took it to a friend's place and stayed there for a week. When I was making the mold for the fiberglass domes a few years ago, you could put a splint on your finger so you keep the finger straight and don't accidentally bend it and open the cut, work on. Yeah, I was, I work on plans. The thing with plans though is like, I can plan a hundred things in an hour that are gonna take me like months or years to do any single one. So like I have plenty of plans. I'm sure you keep yourself, I do keep myself occupied. I actually downloaded, or not downloaded, I installed a video game, Mac Warrior II that I haven't played for a while. So maybe my kids were asking me about it recently. So I'll show them that. Just the most important thing in the world. I haven't played video games much in a while because I have so much to do. Maybe I'll play video games tonight and just kinda chill out. Yeah, put my hand in salt water. Oh yeah. And in terms of putting my hand in a splint earlier, for most of the day today, I had a kind of like tape, well, I had a piece of cloth on there, but then tape like around this finger and then attach to my skin here so that it kind of like held this finger up and also we made it so if I pulled this finger down, it would just pull my whole hand skin with it and make sure that the cut stays closed. So I'll probably wrap it up again. I figured I should let it breathe a little. Oh yeah, I'm gonna do the salt water thing too. Tie your injured hand behind your bag, Jamie, and keep going, but let it drag, let it drag it the seawater when you're on your boat, but let it drag in the seawater when you're on your boat. Yeah, I don't know. If I start doing things with one hand, like a lot of the stuff I have to do, I mean, I'm not gonna build a pedal power thing. I could build the pedal power PVC part with one hand and you just saw with my left hand and hold the PVC pipe with my foot, but I have to wrap it in fiberglass. I'm not gonna do that with one hand, that's gonna be a mess. So, and then I'm not gonna climb up to the roof with one hand and work on the thing, yeah. And then I have a bunch of digging, I don't know. I think I just need to rest it. Get well, Jamie, I will do my best. I hope it heals fast, stay strong. Now you have time to study composting. Well, that doesn't take that long. Like I was saying before, plans take a lot less time than actually doing it. So yeah, I've got some, I did some composting research, I guess. And I don't know, I need to go do it, but I don't wanna mess up my hand. So I'm just gonna chill for another day, maybe kind of reset. It's not a terrible idea to do that anyway. I hope this, I hope this heals soon. I don't want it to turn into like a week. Ugh, I go crazy after a week. What did you do to your hand? Hope it's not broken. No, it's not broken, I just cut it on. I was cleaning off, cleaning barnacles off the bottom of DeShane's boat because she didn't for like a long time. Anyway, I nicked my knuckle on a barnacle and those barnacles, they're like razor sharp. So it just, it made a pretty deep cut. Didn't hit the tendon though, the tendon is fine. But yeah, I know it's a complicated topic and not realistic for me, but you're still looking, but are you still looking for other people to live your adventure builder life in the islands at all? Yeah, I am totally. Well, I can talk about that for a minute. So I am still working on trying to build a bigger community here. And I have to be careful saying that because usually if I say community, people here commune, they think I have like some land with a bunch of houses on it and like all this communal stuff made and then people just come and move into a house. No, no, no. You come and like buy your own land, build your own house, all that stuff. I just want cool neighbors, you know? Like everyone's independent. This is no one's, no one's trapped collaborating with everyone, anyone else. It's just, I want other cool neighbors. Now that being said, like when people come, they usually stay on my land for a while. Like I have a guy who came a few months ago now, a couple months ago. I've mentioned him in the lives a couple times. He is having an amazing time. Every time I see him, he's like, oh, it's so amazing, I love this. My life is so much better than before and it's really cool to see this giant smile on this guy's face. But he's staying on one of my islands where there's a fiberglass dome and he's just renting it from me for not very much. Originally, I was just letting people stay for free but man, letting people stay for free is a bad idea because they take advantage and wreck things and blah, blah. So now I always charge a little bit of rent. But he's having a great time and he's looking for some land to buy and yeah, it's going really well. And it's just a slow process making a community like that because you really need the right people making an intentional community. Hold on. Just had to move something that was about to fall over. But yeah, it's going slowly but fairly well. Let's see. You paint those walls? Yeah, no, these walls? No, they're not painted at all. When I paint them, I'm gonna do like pretty fancy. So I also kind of wanna make sure the building is totally done settling and I'm not gonna paint something and then they're like a crackle open or something. Although it seems like the building is pretty much not moving but I don't know, maybe a year from now there'll be a few hairline cracks and stuff that I'll fill in and whatever. Look swollen, it is swollen, yeah. Clean saltwater only, away from standing water. Yeah, I'll use, if I put my hand in saltwater I'll just use my filtered water. Blood poisoning is a possibility that you don't want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, I know about blood poisoning. You soap, yeah, I did. Put garlic, put it on, yeah, yeah. I know about garlic too. How's the bridge going? The bridge is really awesome, actually. It's really awesome, I love it. So it's going so well, yeah, the bridge is going amazing. And I was hoping to work on it today and do some digging, put some dirt on it, but, you know. Fasting occasionally is healthy, yeah. I haven't done it in a while. We didn't evolve to always have food available. Yeah, totally true. It is nice to just not eat for a day, once in a while. And I haven't done that in quite a while because I've been doing so much activity. Like I'm mostly just trying to keep up with calories. So, you know, iodine is best, but if not use alcohol and eat lots of citrus and garlic. Ooh, I have some limes. I'll go make some lime juice. I also have some garlic. But I already, like I was putting alcohol on my hand yesterday. So, what happened to the big houseboat you had built that I built? It's, I gave it away. Watch your fever if increases go up for, okay, I know about antibiotics. I know about all this stuff. You don't have to keep telling me that. Although, yeah, I'm sure each person is just saying it once, but yeah, I don't have a fever or anything. Everything's fine. I got an injury that got bad. Well, I was at Loma Partida after suffering with it for two months and getting worse. My employee who you know said, do you want me to cure that? I said, sure. What did he do, Scott? What did he do? How did he cure it? Oh, okay. I was ready to try anything because the infection was on my foot and I was having trouble walking. He got in his caucasus and went to Medardo and came back with some powder. He put it on the infected wound. It was noticeably better the next day and well in three days. What? Well, I'm gonna have to go ask him about this magic powder. What is this powder? This is someone who used to live here and he's telling me that he got some magic powder for an infection from a guy who lives not far from here. So maybe I'll message him and see if I can get some magic powder from him. Put electrical tape on him when the tape falls off your heel. Usually, yeah, I'll just wrap something up in duct tape or just ignore it. Like I have a couple cuts on my foot that I've just ignored, they're fine. But every once in a while you get something that just it's swollen. Yes, it is swollen. Try keeping your hand above your head. Yeah, I don't know about that. I've not cut off fingers, no. Super glued my index finger tip three hours ago. Cut it with a jigsaw. Hurts like hell, but super glue works. I actually don't have any super glue right here. Onion instead of antibiotics. I do have enough onion over there. Like you did with your leg a few years ago. Oops. Well, I think my, I think, I don't think this is anything my body's not going to be able to handle. So don't, don't worry about, don't get all worked up yet. Oh, did you see the video about the man who had a barnacle living under his skin? Oh, I don't think I want to watch that. I'm sure we're aware. Yeah, I know what infections are. Why not mix paint into the cement mixture? I don't know, should I? If you kiss it, it'll feel better. It feels fine. I feel as though Jamie is well versed in medical ethics. Ha, ha, yeah, thanks. Computer games sound like some well deserved downtime. I never, I never think of this well deserved thing. I don't think I deserve anything. I don't think people in general deserve a break or deserve a treat. It doesn't, doesn't make any sense to me. You know, we're just alive and doing our thing. I don't think we deserve anything. Oh, video quality is really great at the moment, cool. Any chance we can go see your bridge? No, not right now. Do you read often? No, I actually don't at all. I could read right now, but I don't know. I'm gonna just join what happened. Oh, I'm just not, not working on anything today, probably tomorrow because I cut my hand, it's fine though. Oh my God, watch your body temperature. I know, I know if I get an, I've had infections before and I know what a fever is, don't worry. I'm not gonna die. Yes, tomatoes, I hurt my hand as you know. Oh, here's a question. You made a contraption for all of your waste to turn into methane. Ah, yeah, I haven't done anything with that yet. Oh, you know what? When I went to the store to get all this PV stuff, PVC stuff, I meant to get a pipe for that too. Totally forgot. Oh, next time I go, hopefully I don't remember. If you mix the paint into the concrete, it can't peel off. You should bottle inspiration for us and others. You gotta make your own inspiration, man. I mean, I can, someone else can help you with inspiration, but it really comes from inside yourself. Oh, I'm not gonna die, relax. Okay. Guess it's late in the day at Jamie's. Yeah, I didn't even do morning exercises today because I didn't wanna jostle around and rip it open or something. I just decided to just totally, totally just chill today, which I don't do very often. All right, I'm gonna go get some food and try not to go crazy from not being able to do stuff and just concentrate on healing my hand. Don't worry, it'll be fine in a few days. Okay, everyone know, have a marvelous day and don't cut your hand on barnacles, cause it's stupid. Okay, bye.
