[0:01]good morning fellow humans I thought I'd
[0:02]start with some coffee this morning and
[0:04]then talk about my plans coming up so
[0:08]let me just try to do this here
[0:10]something else on my mind I thought I'd
[0:12]share with
[0:14]you oh I'm haven't been up long
[0:20]and I don't know just not awake I need
[0:24]coffee I was
[0:26]thinking and I know I'm not the first so
[0:34]I was thinking about the fact that we
[0:37]have lost all the
[0:39]skills that our ancestors have right so
[0:44]I bet my grandparents have had skills
[0:46]that I don't but their parents my
[0:50]great-grandparents and everyone before
[0:52]them they had all kinds of survival
[0:54]skills that we've
[0:57]lost if our society was to collapse
[1:00]house there's very few of us that would
[1:02]know what to
[1:03]do we'd really struggle to
[1:08]survive but it's actually worse than
[1:11]that because in my own
[1:15]lifetime we've lost skills so today you
[1:20]wouldn't travel from point A to point B
[1:23]without
[1:27]GPS people can't even get get themselves
[1:30]to an airport now without GPS
[1:33]right we live in a society where we're
[1:37]like
[1:39]Outsourcing knowledge
[1:42]to other
[1:44][Music]
[1:45]humans so if you need to get from point
[1:48]A to point B you might call up an Uber
[1:51]you need to to feed yourself you might
[1:53]call a door
[1:56]Dash that is not a good situation to be
[1:59]in
[2:02]it's like we're
[2:04]taking it's like we're
[2:09]Outsourcing all the things that make us
[2:12]human I mean these are things that you
[2:14]really kind of need to
[2:17]know I don't know I just think it's a
[2:19]little
[2:21]up so I don't need to grind my
[2:25]beans got this at Walmart I couldn't
[2:28]find it you know just as beans or I
[2:30]would have man this is actually not very
[2:33]cuz this is pretty dark coffee
[2:37]like I need more creamer to drink this
[2:41]stuff and I have no idea how much you
[2:44]put in here like I literally cannot
[2:46]believe the things that I don't
[2:49]know like I just filled up
[2:53]halfway surely don't know so thinking
[2:56]about that by anything
[3:01]you know how
[3:03]much just don't
[3:07]know get some coffee
[3:21]going so people are leaving thankfully
[3:24]it's
[3:25]Sunday now there's someone parked next
[3:28]to me what are they even doing there
[3:29]just a
[3:31]car wait a
[3:35]minute yeah people are leaving
[3:37]thankfully going try to get level today
[3:40]maybe that's one of the things we talk
[3:44]about wow what
[3:47]happened that would have been
[3:52]scary they're not
[3:56]moving really you're driving me nuts
[3:59]today
[4:00]and I see Bailey back
[4:03]there being a monster
[4:07]today it's actually been pretty good
[4:10]with him like he's totally adjusted
[4:15]he's he looks a little annoyed I don't
[4:18]know I think he might want outside he
[4:20]hasn't been able to do that lately I
[4:22]need to get some kind of a structure for
[4:26]him but I also kind of like him just
[4:28]being in here
[4:31]that's a little last stress for me
[4:33]Bailey thank
[4:35]you he's a smart cat isn't
[4:40]he you know what though
[4:45]yeah bitter is the word I think I was
[4:47]looking for this is pretty bitter
[4:52]coffee
[4:54]oh I need it today I
[4:58]think so I hadn't said this yet I I
[5:01]actually did quit um clopin I stopped
[5:04]taking it that day I haven't taken it
[5:06]since every time I've had to leave to go
[5:09]and get something from the store or
[5:12]whatever um I put it in my pocket just
[5:15]in
[5:17]case I have a need addict so I'm pretty
[5:20]happy about that i' I've had more
[5:22]anxiety but
[5:26]it's you know it is what it is it's not
[5:31]it's
[5:33]not it's not debilitating I used to have
[5:37]very debilitating anxiety that clopin
[5:40]solved for me but fortunately it's not
[5:43]that it's going to knock this over if
[5:46]you
[5:50]can so tomorrow morning I'm going to go
[5:53]to the tire
[5:55]job because you know the tires on the
[5:58]driver's side they're
[6:00]showing Bubbles and they're getting flat
[6:03]and
[6:04]just it's deeply
[6:07]concerning I thought about you know I
[6:10]replace all the tires on this
[6:13]thing to put my mind of these and
[6:17]then before I even got back to the
[6:20]campground I had already become deflated
[6:24]and
[6:27]concerned and it just
[6:31]destroyed my self-confidence it it it
[6:34]completely destroyed any sense
[6:37]of momentum I was making in this
[6:40]lifestyle you know my monitor had
[6:42]cracked that same day like a whole bunch
[6:44]of things went
[6:47]wrong and I been putting this off
[6:49]because I don't want a confrontation
[6:51]with them and I just for whatever reason
[6:54]that's just what I'm intuiting is going
[6:56]to happen M's trying to get up here it's
[6:58]not a good place for him
[7:00]please don't Bailey I don't need you
[7:01]clawing me okay go away you're fine all
[7:06]right you are with me all the time
[7:07]that's still not
[7:11]enough
[7:13]so I think it's
[7:18]because I know who who who works there
[7:21]you know I I've I've met them I spent
[7:23]time with them that day and I'm just not
[7:27]expecting a a good encounter and
[7:30]I may have to contact their corporate
[7:31]offices
[7:34]and maybe even have to threaten to sue
[7:36]them or possibly have to sue them I
[7:38]don't
[7:42]know but from my point of view that
[7:47]just it sent me down a path
[7:50]that I think maybe I recognized was
[7:53]happening but
[7:55]still had trouble just
[8:03]well I've been I've been avoiding this
[8:05]obviously and I just need to deal with
[8:07]it and we'll see where that takes me you
[8:10]know um because it does influence
[8:13]decisions it influence like I don't like
[8:15]where I'm at I actually from the moment
[8:18]I got into this canopied area I just
[8:22]felt like okay this is not this isn't a
[8:25]place I'm enjoying being there
[8:27]are people everywhere the way that
[8:30]they're set up the the the layout is
[8:33]just really bad it's just really bad
[8:35]and um almost always I have tent campers
[8:40]right next to me five8 feet away it's
[8:42]just too close that's too close for
[8:45]me
[8:47]and it's a very narrow
[8:50]road I just this is just not a good
[8:52]setup like everything about this just
[8:55]feels it feels
[8:57]cramped and
[9:02]I've been thinking you
[9:03]know I don't want to go back into the
[9:06]sun it's too hot for that but you know
[9:08]I've been to a campground that I really
[9:09]liked maybe I should just go there and
[9:12]yeah I'll have to hop around every two
[9:13]weeks
[9:15]but I mean that's what I expected
[9:17]anyways right but I can't really get
[9:20]there I can't trust my
[9:23]tires uh I need to relevel this thing I
[9:25]don't really like driving it right now
[9:27]because of that I'll have to empty my
[9:30]tank soon I I'm risking something
[9:33]happening even though I won't be leaving
[9:35]the campground you know it
[9:38]just it's really upsetting
[9:42]that you Tred to solve a problem and it
[9:44]made the problem worse and that's not my
[9:47]fault it's this place this tire
[9:51]place I know some people want to say
[9:53]that well then maybe you have too much
[9:55]weight in here or whatever and I expect
[9:56]that argument from them but that's a
[9:58] argument
[10:00]the tires that they put on it are the
[10:02]same specs as the ones I had on it and
[10:04]it wasn't happening then I've had these
[10:06]tires a little over a month they
[10:08]shouldn't be losing air it's just not
[10:11]it's
[10:12]not it's not a good
[10:16]argument and I don't even have a lot of
[10:18]stuff so it just I don't think it's a
[10:21]weight
[10:27]issue but this has side headlined
[10:30]me and it really did damage my
[10:33]self-confidence I think
[10:37]because these are problems I can't solve
[10:39]myself I need help I
[10:42]need I need experts for that and you
[10:45]can't even trust them anymore it feels
[10:48]like that's what's happening in the
[10:49]world
[10:51]where and I'm not just basing this off
[10:53]of my own limited experience and you
[10:56]know
[10:57]just these past couple of months it just
[11:00]it feels
[11:03]like you can't trust anyone to do a good
[11:06]job
[11:09]anymore they installed those tires in
[11:12]their parking lot and they were
[11:13]basically two children as far as I'm
[11:15]concerned compared to my age they were
[11:16]just
[11:17]children and it was the whole thing was
[11:20]concerning like the way they're propping
[11:22]up my my RV you know and just
[11:29]they
[11:30]didn't there was no
[11:34]professionalism somebody should have
[11:35]been overseeing them who was more
[11:39]senior you
[11:42]know this is an $80,000 vehicle when I
[11:46]went there I asked them can this fit in
[11:47]your shop they said yes I should be able
[11:51]to trust that but I can't
[11:55]so the whole thing just made me feel
[12:01]incompetent
[12:05]and just makes me question my ability to
[12:09]live this
[12:14]way and I did the wrong thing as a
[12:17]result of that I stopped I
[12:23]didn't I you know and I can't really
[12:25]help that you know I analyze everything
[12:28]that's just how I am
[12:32]I had to sit with it for a
[12:36]while put all the pieces
[12:39]together and I'm talking on a deep level
[12:42]that I'm not even talking about right
[12:43]now because it's impossible to imposs
[12:45]for me to explain all these
[12:49]things I'm thinking about the fact okay
[12:51]I'm going to have to go up
[12:53]there and I'm going to feel discomfort
[12:56]well discomfort all that means is it's
[12:59]not a reason not to do a thing that just
[13:01]means that you're you're doing something
[13:03]you're not skilled at you have to just
[13:06]accept the discomfort and learn from it
[13:10]I mean all the different angles cuz I
[13:12]examine all of
[13:14]it there's nothing I can do about that
[13:16]it's inate to who I
[13:20]am and I guess I need to remind myself
[13:23]of that because it means I need to just
[13:26]be patient with myself I'm going to
[13:29]counter stuff like
[13:32]this and I just need to be patient I
[13:34]have need to tell myself that based on
[13:38]your cognitive style you are just you're
[13:40]not going to solve it
[13:45]overnight you
[13:47]know so tomorrow morning that's what I'm
[13:50]doing I hope it goes well
