[0:00]Heat. Heat.
[0:40]So, I thought I'd just take a walk to
[0:41]the ocean today.
[0:44]Eighth a mile. Eighth of a mile from
[0:48]um
[0:51]an eighth of a mile from
[0:54]God, I love this ocean.
[1:00]It's incredible.
[1:26]We're going to trace some waves. I think
[1:27]this is a perfect day for it.
[1:31]Foggy in the distance.
[1:34]Wow, really dark clouds out there.
[1:38]Huh. I wonder if we're going to get some
[1:39]rain. That would be nice. And then the
[1:43]hide is coming in.
[1:46]God, I love those.
[1:54]So, the direction I'm walking in will
[1:56]take us to where the ATVs can drive on
[1:58]the beach. The other side is open, too.
[2:01]But,
[2:03]uh, because there's a bird here that
[2:05]Oregon protects, a lot of it's closed
[2:07]off, so it's not
[2:10]I just tend to go this way.
[2:16]So, I know my camera mic sometimes isn't
[2:19]very good. I've noticed that on a couple
[2:23]videos lately and there's nothing I can
[2:25]do about it. I've dropped this phone a
[2:28]few too many times. Probably gotten it
[2:31]too wet or whatever. You know, happens
[2:34]to all my phones and I don't have
[2:36]external mic. I sold those months ago
[2:40]just to keep my stuff going. So,
[2:47]wow.
[2:49]It's only like noon right now.
[2:52]This one coming in. Got to get up off
[2:54]the beach. Here we go. I love this
[2:58]ocean.
[3:00]It's only noon.
[3:02]Already had a pretty cool day.
[3:05]Hold on. I got people around.
[3:08]Man, there's a lot of people on the
[3:09]beach. I don't want to be talking to
[3:10]myself out of camera around other
[3:12]people. Just looks so silly. I don't
[3:14]want to look like some modern man who
[3:16]was
[3:19]stuck in his phone instead of
[3:20]experiencing the world. People
[3:22]misinterpret cuz I'm definitely
[3:23]experiencing this.
[3:25]But it's not really about them though.
[3:28]It's more
[3:30]something about it feels false. I don't
[3:33]Oh, this dog is running around now.
[3:39]I almost bought brought my neighbor's
[3:40]dog, but that thing pulls me the whole
[3:44]time. And I just wanted to experience
[3:45]the beach a little bit. You know, it's
[3:47]very foggy over here, which make it
[3:48]really hard
[3:51]um really trace the ocean that way. I
[3:53]guess I'll
[3:55]go the other way. I just, you know, I
[3:57]just want to be by myself right now and
[3:59]enjoy the ocean and talk on this camera
[4:01]about some things.
[4:05]Wow, I love this fog. It is so cool.
[4:08]From the campground, you get this like
[4:10]mist that comes through
[4:13]and
[4:14]the wind can be really strong. So, just
[4:17]watch this mist just kind of cascading
[4:20]through the camp and
[4:26]I mean I mean it must be water, right?
[4:28]So, but nothing really gets wet. It's
[4:29]like really curious to me.
[4:36]Yeah. Hey, there's a lot of people here
[4:37]today. That don't happen very often.
[4:40]I'm letting you know.
[4:42]Maybe there's a cute man out there who
[4:45]is interested, but I'm not counting on
[4:47]it anymore.
[4:50]We'll just keep walking.
[4:53][Music]
[4:56]So, I've already had a pretty full day.
[4:59]See, I woke up this morning, did my
[5:02]paperwork, and then I checked on the
[5:05]thing that I'm doing on my website. So,
[5:07]I've got AI processing all my
[5:09]transmissions, and it's working. I have
[5:12]it a local model acting like
[5:16]um
[5:20]doing recursive processing, which they
[5:22]don't do by default very well. So, it
[5:24]took me some time to work out how to get
[5:27]them to do that, and I did. And now it's
[5:29]processing my transmissions. And as it
[5:32]does up here on my website,
[5:33]automatically, if you go to the
[5:35]transmission section,
[5:37]you go to the oldest videos first cuz
[5:39]it's processing oldest and newest,
[5:41]you'll see new titles and summaries. And
[5:44]then if you click on to the actual
[5:46]transmission pages, not just the
[5:48]listings,
[5:50]you'll see a whole lot of new stuff that
[5:52]AI is generating.
[5:54]just based off the transcripts of my
[5:56]life for the last
[5:58]almost well year and a half on video.
[6:01]Two years actually maybe something like
[6:03]that.
[6:06]Um
[6:08]that's just the first step.
[6:11]So we're just going to walk past these
[6:13]people.
[6:18]Just give me a moment here.
[6:22]See the ocean?
[7:04]So, if we go this way, we'll meet the
[7:06]river
[7:08]and it'll probably be pretty quiet down
[7:10]there.
[7:13]Glad people are out here enjoying the
[7:15]beach. This is a wonderful stretch of
[7:17]land.
[7:19]The ocean is just completely open.
[7:23]It's amazing.
[7:29]I really want to go back to Cape Blanch,
[7:31]but I miss it there. I want to see
[7:33]Humbug Mountain. I wonder if I could
[7:35]climb that thing, though.
[7:38]I think I could. I think I'm all healed
[7:40]up.
[7:43]I'm feeling my age these days, too. I
[7:45]don't know what that's about.
[7:47]I think it's just compression and
[7:51]from a whole lot of stuff. Oh, this
[7:55]one's coming in. Got to go.
[8:02]I love the ocean.
[8:06]I am under some stress. No. Going to
[8:09]lose my RV and I have to figure out how
[8:11]to replace it before that happens.
[8:16]applied to some jobs on Upwork, but it's
[8:19]very strange. Every time I've done this
[8:20]for months now,
[8:22]oceans,
[8:24]they're not even read. Like, they're not
[8:26]even looked at.
[8:28]And
[8:33]I have thoughts about this, but
[8:36]point is is I'm really having trouble
[8:38]finding a freelancing job, and I've
[8:40]never had that problem at all in my
[8:41]life. So,
[8:44]I just don't have a solution yet.
[8:48]I've tried so many things, man. I tried
[8:49]working at a gas station just for two
[8:51]months. I pursued that job. A man hires
[8:54]me and then he's not there the day that
[8:56]I'm supposed to show up and then never
[8:58]calls back and
[9:01]it's like the world is just trying
[9:03]really hard to keep me where I am. And
[9:05]it sucks.
[9:07]But I'm navigating cuz that's what I do.
[9:12]I'm going to spend some time out here
[9:14]today and
[9:16]oh I started by saying already had a
[9:19]pretty long day. I started with my
[9:21]paperwork I was going to sing and then
[9:25]I took my neighbor's dog for a walk. We
[9:27]went five times around the loop at the
[9:29]campgrounds.
[9:31]Um sat on my roof for a while. Took my
[9:34]shirt off and just did some suntanning.
[9:38]do my rounds.
[9:40]I have to do those in the end because
[9:42]it's pretty early. But
[9:44]um I have Mondays and Tuesdays off. So
[9:47]on Wednesdays
[9:48]it's like the start of my week. So I
[9:50]have a little bit more to do and I do a
[9:52]little bit in the morning and
[9:53]afternoons.
[9:58]So yeah, there's a lot going on.
[10:01]I just needed to see the ocean. I feel
[10:03]like it's the one thing that
[10:06]truly receives me.
[10:15]Oh, I tried to switch the camera, but a
[10:17]bunch of birds are driving fine live.
[10:20]Oh well, that's all right.
[10:26]So, yeah, that's my update for now.
