 Sorry, I'm just wiping off my microphone with my dirty shoes. Nobody's here yet, so just give me a minute, I'm just going to wipe off my screen again with an actual clean shirt and have one over here. Oh great, I touched it with my finger. Alright. I don't know if anyone's around today, but maybe no one's showing up today, maybe everyone's busy. But that's okay, because I usually do a live every Sunday. But today, I just kind of feel like doing stuff, I've been getting a lot of work done. Oh, someone just got here, I guess I should start again. Who's here today anyway? Alright, I don't know if anyone else is showing up. Okay, so I wasn't even sure if I was going to do a live today, because I'm just busy doing stuff. I've just been busy. Hey Gary, how are you doing? Ban Basil? Yeah, this whole week, you know, I've just been getting a lot of work done, doing a lot of things. You know, I feel like my life's been thrown into all kinds of craziness lately. And I've just been trying to stabilize everything. And get back to the things that I know work, and I know make me happy. And you know, just working on things to build a better future for myself. So I've been working on the yard, building stuff right here. You can't see it, I don't want to move the camera. Right here I've got my paddle wheel I've been working on, and then my lumber mill I've been working on right there. And then I just made this steel table. Oh, I guess I should show that. Hold on. You're coming with me. I know this is going to get really pixely for a second. Just hold on, I'll try to get it. So yeah, wait. Yeah, right here I've got this steel table. That was parts that were left over from when I was building the lumber mill. This was some giant pencil sharpener thing that I stole parts off of to build the lumber mill. And it just had this like super heavy duty, almost like steel cube base. So I bolted a few pieces of flat, thick steel on top. And now it's just going to be a table for like hammering stuff on things like that. And yeah, that's what I was doing this morning. And I'm about to go to my other property right over there and get a couple of trees. And find some stuff laying on the ground already to build like a little temporary dock and getting some stuff delivered. And what I'm getting delivered is a bunch of like stainless steel pipes. Some actually just like this. This is a two inch stainless steel pipe. Of course, everything is sold in Imperial noodle units around here. Yeah, I bought a whole bunch of pipes and a whole bunch of sheet metal. Because, you know, a few weeks ago someone sent me a little bit of Bitcoin. So I mean, maybe I shouldn't say a little bit like enough to buy a bunch of material and kind of stock myself up on a lot of stainless steel and aluminum aluminum stuff. So I'm going to go get that soon in a big boat. And it's a boat that I'm pretty sure I can't get into my island and, you know, park in the normal spot. So I'm just going to make this quick little delivery dock kind of on the side where there's deep water. Because around my island, a lot of it's shallow water, but there are like, there are some, there are two sides. I don't know. It's not a side thing. It's like, you know, my island is like the shape of a scrambled egg. It's not, I don't know. But like on one part there's deep water and on another part there's deep water right away. So, you know, big boats can pull right in, even if it's low tide, you can come right in. So if someone ever visited like in a cell boat, you could pull right up on those spots. But anyway, I'm going to get this delivery of a whole bunch of metal. And yeah, I need a spot to fairly easily get it in here. Enough metal, like, I don't know, something like 200 pipes and like 100 sheets of sheet metal or something like that. Like enough that it'll be worth building a quick little temporary dock to get it in faster. So what are you guys doing? Let's see. Good morning. I like the problem with money video. Oh, good. I think the video was great, but man, I hate that there's that problem because it is causing a lot of problems in the world. Raining in Palm Beach, Florida, it was just raining here too. But it looks like it's stopping. And I'm hoping it doesn't rain much today because I do want to build that little dock. And then I want to do some more digging. There's a bunch of stuff I won't do. I've just been getting a lot done and I don't even want to stop. So I'm probably not going to do this live for very long today either. And I'm not doing anything where I can take the tablet and we'll have signal either because I want to know part of it. Now, when I'm building the dock, I'm going to be too far from the house to get signal there. But how are you guys all doing? Let me just make sure my comments are actually working. There you go. You rock. Honesty. Yeah, honesty is important. Turbo tax today. Are you doing your taxes? Oh, God. That sounds rotten. Good. How are you? Yeah, I'm pretty good. You know, some things. Most things are pretty good. I gotta say, like most things in my life are pretty awesome. A few things are not so great, but overall, yeah, yeah, pretty good. I'm sorry, MXC. Yeah. Doing your taxes. That's not fun. But I think I'm actually going to cut this short in a few minutes to go to go build this dock. And if anyone has any questions for me, you can just ask him now questions about any videos I did this week or whatever. I saw a video on your old house and it was freaking amazing. You should see my new house. It's okay. My old house in Vermont. You could fit like six of those in here. Maybe maybe five, five or six though. No, I yeah, about five or six. You could fit that house in here a lot of times though. And I don't have a trampoline in here yet, but I'm going to have one soon as soon as I get the third floor built and the third floor. So in my, in my house in Vermont, the third floor had a trampoline built into the floor because it only had like, I don't know, 12 foot ceiling and 10 foot ceiling. I don't remember what it was, but it wasn't high enough ceiling that you could put a trampoline on the floor. But up here on my third floor, there's actually space for a fourth floor, but I'm just leaving out the fourth floor so I can have a super high ceiling for basketball. I can just put a trampoline on the floor and do all that and, you know, swinging around on ropes and yeah, I want a really high ceiling on the gymnasium floor. That's what's going to be upstairs. You've got 26 people watching you live. Oh, no live. There there are, you know, I would another thing I was thinking about with these lives. I was kind of thinking like maybe I shouldn't save them. Maybe it should just be a conversation. And then once it's done, it's erased and it's gone, you know, like it like any conversation you'd have with people like in real life. You go out and meet some people and talk and chat because it's kind of weird having a conversation with a bunch of people. And then just having it recorded forever and then anyone can go and look at what what what the conversation was and like take things out of context. It's kind of weird plus the conversation when people look at it after they don't see do they see the comments? I don't think they see the comments. They don't know what I'm they only get one piece of the conversation. Anyway, someone fixed an aluminum aluminum shovel with rivets today inspired by your shovel videos wanted to replace it with a stainless one. When I find the materials, I love my stainless steel shovels. I totally recommend that super cool. Your old house was crazy cool. My old house was crazy cool and I was it was it was a little bit hard to leave that house because it was super cool. And you know, whenever you have something super cool and you let go for something hopefully cooler, there's no guarantee you're going to find something cooler. But I feel like I did. I really like to hear because my old house. It was amazing, but I always said, you know, we'll make this house better. If I could take the mountain and plop it in the ocean somewhere and then I could go swimming and boating. One of the things I love about living on an island is that I can get in a boat and just just drive anywhere. When you're on land, you can only drive where the roads are. Well, I mean on my own land, I could, you know, in my four wheel drive truck, I could drive wherever there's not a tree or whatever, or wherever it's not too steep. But like, you know, anytime I want to go somewhere, it's like on someone else's road on the government roads or whatever. Here, I can just get in a boat and just go anywhere and there's no traffic. There's no there's no what's that called road rage? I don't even remember what it's called anymore. Yeah, road rage. What do you want, dude? My son is telling me that sometimes people drive tanks in the water. Have you seen a video of people driving tanks in the water? You're talking about like a big army tank, like a giant metal thing with the big tracks right into the water. Yeah, they don't go in the deep water though, right? If they drove into the ocean, they'd be underwater and they'll suffocate unless they were wearing stuff. But I think their engines would get shut down. Let's see, I know, I like when you save them. Oh, you like that I save the, save the lives. I don't know, I guess I can still save them. I think I think it would be kind of cool to erase them though, because then it would, I feel like it would, it would be kind of like, almost like a better conversation. I'll think about it. Hey, Jamie, so grateful to catch your live for the first time. Oh, and this is one that I'm going to not do for very long, because I'm going to go build a temporary dock. Okay, in case anyone missed it at the beginning, I was saying that this week, you know, I've just been really focusing on, you know, getting back to the things that, getting back to the basics, you know, the things that work. So I've just been doing a lot of work, getting things set up, working on, working on getting my house more self-sufficient, not just my house, but my land and everything, and just making progress on that goal and all that stuff. And actually one of the things that I've been kind of looking into more is people kept mentioning terra preta, or, you know, putting, or biochar, putting charcoal on the ground. And I did, I did a bit of research on that. And I'm starting to save charcoal, because I cook on a wood fire, and I'm always dumping out, you know, charcoal and ash. And where I dumped that out, things are growing really well too. So I'm starting to collect that. And in some of my fires, if I still have some wood burning in there, when I'm finished cooking, and there's, you know, a decent amount, it's going to keep burning for a while. I'll put it out with water so it actually saves the charcoal. So I'm saving charcoal now to mix into my dirt, because, you know, my dirt here is not very good. It's, it's, well, it's, it's amazing if you want to do pottery. It's just like solid clay. But supposedly if I put, if I mix some like crushed up charcoal into it, it will hold water better and hold nutrients better and all that. And if I, like, mix the charcoal with, you know, some kind of fertilized stuff like, you know, compost or compost tea, which I would not want to drink, then the charcoal will hold onto those nutrients and then the plants can get it out of there. So yeah, I'm saving up charcoal for that. Too cold in Vermont. It is, it is cold in Vermont. I didn't mind the cold though. I actually really like the cold. But I'm weird. I was always fine with cold. And when I was in Vermont in the middle of the winter, I would go outside and have ice showers. Not like, not like if I was feeling cold, but I would go out and work on stuff all day or, you know, work on stuff inside or wherever I'd be, you know, I'd work on things all day and I'd get hot because I'm using all my muscles. And it was, it was always kind of important to have the snow shower. Did I say ice shower? It's a snow shower. It's always important to have the snow shower before you cool down and then take handfuls of snow and just rub it all over and it melts on you. So yeah, I never really had a problem with the cold. It was actually weird coming to the tropics at first. I was just hot all the time because my metabolism is high. Same with some of my kids, my skinny kids. You can tell they eat like pigs and they just are always skinny. That's what I was like when I was a kid. But the thing I really love about the warm weather is the all year growing season. And then, you know, just the ability to work on things outside is really cool too. I have to say I don't manage to catch the live feed very often, but love looking forward to the gossip whenever I can watch it back when I get time. Plenty of road rage here. Yeah, I know. I hated road rage. Oh, it's terrible. I understand why people get so angry too. Just driving on the roads is frustrating, particularly if you're in a high traffic area. How's it going with the boundaries, buddy? Oh, good reminder. Boundaries are up. Bullshit detectors are at maximum. Boundaries are up. Yeah, things have been going good. So I was talking about, I was talking last week about how I was kind of like, you know, I'd kind of fallen off my wave that I'd been riding for a while, you know, out of my groove. And I'd been in kind of the rut of the next wave. And I was just kind of, you know, chill in there till the next wave starts bringing me up and then I'd try to get up to speed and get back on a good wave and get into a groove. Yeah, I feel like I'm getting into a good groove now. And yeah, I'm keeping everyone's bullcrap off me and doing a pretty good job of that and staying focused with, you know, keeping up the boundaries and everything. And, you know, we did all the exercises I was planning to do this week. I've been very productive. Things have been going very well. And actually, I had a first in my exercises. So I do these morning exercises, Monday. Well, I do them every day, but they're different things. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, though, I do this thing. Hey, hold on a second, Bellatrix, can you stop scraping? That's going to drive everyone in the video crazy. So stop doing that. Thank you. If you want to just sweep that, that's not super loud. Anyway, so I did a video of my Monday exercises a little while ago. And the Monday exercises, and the Wednesday and the Friday ones are basically the same. It's just the Monday ones. I'm wearing, you know, a weight vest and holding weights. And then the Wednesday ones, I'm just holding the weights and the weight best and then the Friday ones. I'm not wearing any weight stuff. And the amount of exercise per rest reduces as I go. So Monday, it's like really hard and grueling. But then by Friday, it's sort of like a sprint workout. So that's when I'm like focused on, you know, doing everything, doing a good job and everything. So the Friday workouts are actually kind of amazing because, you know, I've just done the other ones with all the extra weight and the longer, longer workout, less rest. But Friday, I did the planks for the entire 20 seconds, like one plank. Well, not not just a plank, but like a plank push up. Do you know what a plank push up is? It's just like, it's like where you lay flat on the ground. It's kind of hard to do when if you haven't like practiced them at all, we just lay flat on the ground and then like all all stretched out and you just lift yourself up by your hands and your feet. So you're just you're just like, like that, just with your feet and your hands touching the ground. But yeah, I held it for the whole 20 seconds. And that's the first time I've been able to do that. And I didn't even feel like I like I felt like I could keep, I could still hold it for a while, which was nice. So yeah, I feel like I'm getting my groove back, you know, and the boundaries, the boundaries are I'm boundary eyes and who yeah, oh, you can still see the live chat when it's saved. I don't know, it doesn't save the live chat of while I'm talking, because I'm always like 20 minutes behind on the chat, because I do like, you know, like a 20 minute monologue. Anyway, it doesn't matter. You're a top lad, Jamie. If you ever fancy doing a video revisiting old projects and updating us on what worked and what didn't, what has weathered well and what you would do different. Yeah, I should do that at some point. That is, that is a great idea. I do think about that sometimes too. I should totally do that, like just go through all kinds of past projects. I do that a little bit once in a while. I did that with my boats a little bit recently. But yeah, there's so many things I've learned along the way, you know, after completing things and then you know, using them for a few years. And you know, certain things will will break in certain ways and other things would just like last forever. And it's really, it's really good for figuring out what works and what lasts and all that stuff. So I should, I should share that. You're right. There was another thing. Oh yeah. So I made, I made a couple of, you know, social commentary videos recently. And I was actually kind of impressed. There weren't that many trolls. Obviously, you know, the troll comments were just like, horrible and hateful and just like, like super rude, which makes me think, oh, I must have hit the truth. I must have hit that one right on the head. You know, when, when like a lot of people are like, yeah, Jamie, I totally get what you're saying. And then like a few people are like, no, I hate you with no actual rational reason why they hate me or whatever. Yeah. So I kind of blocked, I kind of blocked a bunch of people because I kind of felt like, you know, I like to do that once in a while. I know I'm not supposed to do that because then I get fewer viewers, fewer views, but I'm not doing this for the views. Let's see. That would be super interesting. I think you're talking about when I go back. Why are you yacking with us? You have a doc to build. You're right. I'm going to go do that soon. Awesome. Cold shower is best first thing in the morning. Huge dopamine boost and ice bath would be nice. Oh my God. And ice bath would be amazing here. Yeah, totally. Sometimes I go jump in the ocean. I swim down pretty far because it's colder down there. And I'll just like sit at the bottom for, I mean, not that long because I'm holding my breath, but you know, like a minute or two and then come back up and I'm like nice and clear. I do it a few times. Idea for your floating dock. Maybe have legs that you can deploy at high tide, open a valve in the pontoon at low tide to drain the ballast water, which would then make it float higher. No power needed. Yeah, I mean, there's there's some tricky stuff you can do with the tides when you're if you have a floating dock that you want to be able to go up and down. The tricky one of the tricky things with that is that if you're using like any kind of ballast tank, you get a leak of any kind. Have you had any more trouble with officials seeking bribes after that one time a few years back? Nope, not a single visit. So a few years ago, some officials, there was one guy who had identification that said he was an actual official, although he didn't do any of the talking. It was these other guys who did not show any identification and I'm no longer allowing any unknown people onto my property without proper identification, but they were trying to shake me down for bribes. And apparently they just go around doing this and most of the gringos, maybe I shouldn't say most of the gringos, but a lot of the gringos just pay them bribes and it's so it's so frustrating and I'll talk to them later and I'm like. Yeah, it sucks that those guys go around do that, but you just don't give them anything and then most of the people I've spoken to about it are like, No, you have to give them something or they won't leave they won't leave till you give them money. And then I'm just like, What are you talking about? You don't feed a dog to make it leave. It's just going to keep coming back you idiot. So yeah, I didn't I didn't give any money and I never plan to give actually I specifically plan to never give anyone any bribes, which I think is what everyone should be doing. If everyone did that it would fix a lot of problems. If you want to know who rules you find out who you cannot criticize. Is there anyone you can't speak your truth to the trolls do not rule you. The old to doers was great. I shared it with a bunch of people. Excellent. Yeah, I was doing stuff and I was just thinking about how many how many talkers there are in the world just jacking away. And I always think about this anytime I make a video where I'm talking. I'm just like, I'm just being a talker and I try never I try never to just talk about something that I don't really have direct experience with. So, you know, I feel like that kind of makes it okay to do some talking. But on the other the other part is I feel, you know, as doers do need to do some talking. Even if like a lot of times I don't really feel like making these videos and talking particularly the talking part like I'm totally happy not talking all day. I'm not that talkative of a person. But I feel like I feel like a doers need we need to we need to say more like say more to stand up for ourselves, you know. That's why I make those those talking videos and I was thinking about that and I was like I should just yeah. I like your history of money video from 10 years ago man a decade ago. Yeah, I remember that and I had different hats on and I was sitting at a table. I remember doing that video. It was it was kind of funny because like I didn't have a script or anything. But I just thought about before I did the videos like okay I'm going to be this character and then that one I got to keep track of the hats and here's roughly what I'm going to say. Okay, turn on the camera and just I mean that's how I usually do my videos because I don't have time to like set up all kinds of scripts and stuff. Are there any edible birds there? Of course man. I don't I don't know what I once saw a guy who fed pigeons and it would kill a few once in a while with a BB gun. I do have a BB gun. I have a really nice BB gun actually you probably might want. Let's see or when you burned your engineering degree that one was my favorite. Yeah, that felt good to get rid of that damn thing. That was just kind of like I was when I was just, you know, I got I gotten sickened by going to school and learning about all those business stuff. And then when I was working on the robot toy stuff. I just dealt with a lot of business people and by the end of that, not even by the end of that by like halfway through that I was just like, oh, my first you know as soon as this deal is done I got to get out of the business world because it is it. No, it's just it's just sickening. It's disgusting the whole business world and that you know the money video I just made about that. Yeah, totally. You know the business people are just fooling around with money and just trying to take as much as they can and just play these stupid games and so many people are doing it. And they're they're living off the hard work of people often often people in other countries who basically work for slave wages so they're just it's just a slavery scam the whole thing when you when you really break it down. The words are powerful go build ideas are powerful. I also shared the ABC movie. Oh, excellent. Maybe I should go watch the ABC movie because now it's been like almost a year since I made it. I'm sure I've forgotten it because you know like if you if you make a video. And then you watch it it's like hard to really watch it because you're like I just did that and you know it's all in my brain still but now I think it's been long enough I can actually go and watch it like like the real movie. I don't know. But yes you are right. Who said shut up and go build something you just say shut up but oh wait we got a question question what comes next spider robot or underground man cave. I don't know. Both of those are pretty good things. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I feel like when I when I start my next robot, my next giant robot, I want to have a lot of things like sorted out so I can just like, like, like high priority it while I'm working on it, because that'll be awesome. When I made when I made the first one. You know it took a long time because I was doing all kinds of different things I kind of started it when I wasn't really able to even build it but that was that was kind of the point of doing the first one was to like force myself into a situation where I had to start setting up the infrastructure to even be able to build something like that and then by the time I was done it I had all this all these skills and all this stuff that I could use to build it and yeah you're digging a you're digging a bunker right now. That's awesome. That's cool. Someone's digging a bunker right now. I won't say who it is in cases a secret bunker but and it all turns into garbage greedy rich business people get rich by creating garbage. Yes, that's true. Yeah, like all the business stuff is just fooling around with money and like tricking people into into selling their hard work for not even the right amount of money and and then most of that is just used to create garbage. Yeah, like business today. It's such a disaster. It's just a horrible thing. And people go around with this. There's noses in the air talking about how amazing they are. Do you know your solar panels are still working in your old house? That's cool. That's crazy at least on the last exploring video last year. Your water table is high. Is it? Maybe, I guess. Go build something that's not your mom said. I was looking at land for sale in Panama yesterday. Oh, well, are you do you want to move to Panama? I might be able to, you know, help steer you in some directions, give you some tips. Yeah, send me send me another email, dude. Yeah, I know who that is. We've spoken recently might be impossible for you to dig a bunker with the water. Oh, no, no, I should be able to. I could build a bunker here. Yeah, the water table is fine. Particularly on. On this island and anywhere there's a hill, like it's all clay. So the water just runs off the side. It is. It doesn't even sink. Like if I, if I dug a bunker here, I could, I could line it with like just something to hold up the clay and it would be water proof. I mean, at some point it would probably get a crack. But yeah, the water doesn't really go through the clay very well. Might be impossible for you to dig a bunker with the wire. A lighthouse. Oh, a lighthouse. Build a lighthouse. I've been thinking about it actually. You can see the top of my house here from pretty far. If I put a light up there, it would, it would, it would have to shine through a bit of the tops of the trees, but you can see it really far. Okay. You guys are right. I am going to go build this temporary dock because I have a whole bunch of material that I've ordered thanks to whoever it was who sent me some Bitcoin a little while ago. Thank you. It was just, yeah, um, that's awesome. So I bought a whole bunch of material with some of it. Um, and I'll, I'll make a video of that and I'll make a video of going to get it and everything. Um, and right now I'm going to go set up a little dock so I can actually receive the stuff and tunneling behind the workshop is a viable option. I could, I could tunnel behind my house. I've actually been thinking about it. Anyway. Okay. And Lauren, send me an email if you actually want to move to Panama. Um, okay. I'm going to go do some building and you guys have an excellent day. Uh, clay and grass makes amazing building material. Yes. Roots are just learned about the fasting diet, eating only two meals a day within six hours, no snacks. I sleep better and it works. I've done that a lot actually. Stop chatting with him guys so he can go build. Oh, it's fine. All right. I'm going to get out of here. Everyone have a, have an excellent day. Are you sure you want to stop?
