Finally! (Patreon)

Well guys, it has been an interesting couple of weeks.  First, I got locked out of my Google account, phone, and computer when I sliced my finger on a nail and changed my fingerprint.  (Learned that lesson.  Load up more than one fingerprint into the system!)

Then, my sister-in-law, (not the drug addict one, this is my wife's sister), went to the hospital for pneumonia, and while in the hospital got the delta variant of covid from someone.  It got really bad, really fast.  She coded four times, and was clinically dead for over twenty minutes.  They managed to bring her back, but we still don't know how bad the brain damage is.  She opens her eyes now, but she hasn't spoken an understandable word since.  Then, it got worse.

To help with the custody battle of my nephew, I have moved up to Kansas.  During the move process, (which is how I hurt my finger),  I fell out of the back of my pickup and tore both of my Achilles.  They didn't separate completely, but it was still a bad tear.  About 40% on the left leg, and 60% on the right, according to the VA doctors.  It hurt, and I was pretty drugged up for a good bit of time.  I am out of the boots as of today, and I am just using ankle braces at the moment.  I'm still bruised and swollen, but I can walk without a cane.

THEN, my car exploded.  Not being dramatic here, it actually blew up.  I was driving down the road when flames started shooting out of the hood.  I pulled over into the nearest parking lot, which was a butcher shop, and they helped me put out the fire.  I now have a Subaru Outback, (and a new monthly payment).

The good news is, I am finally back at work.  Dakota was thankfully very understanding of the whole series of events, even though we probably missed the perfect audio schedule we were hoping to hit.

I have seen several new people join up, and I greatly appreciate you all supporting me.  For those that joined at the "Name a Character" tier, I will be contacting you soon for whatever name you want to go with.

Well, time to get back to it, but I wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone.  You guys are the best.
