Hi guy!

Happy Friday :) Here is the ad-free version of this week's video. If you want to see how my first ad/integration in 5 years turned out, it goes live on YouTube on Sunday at 1 pm (EST).

In real-time, I drove to Michigan with my brother-in-law (Julian) yesterday. I've spent the last week with him aboard their catamaran, getting it ready for sale and helping with the survey and sea trail.

Fun little side story. We got to Saint Clair shores, Michigan, yesterday. Ava's parents live in a quiet, completely normal neighborhood, not an area with a lot of crime. Because we suspect that Ava is on to our plan of surprising her by having me show up, we decide to drop me off on the street one block over. I waited for 30 minutes and started heading to Ava's parent's house. This was to give Ava time to doubt her theory that I would surprise her. What a tangled web we weave! I don't know where Ava is in the house, so I slowly open the screen door and start to sneak in. "Excuse me, sir. Do you live here?" It's a freaking cop! Someone called the cops on me because I was standing on the street! As I turn around and shush the cop, I notice a very puzzled look on his face. Apparently, cops are not accustomed to being shushed by potential burglars. I run down to him and explain the situation. Ava's dad pops out the front door and waves at me. The cop gets my name and lets me go. Nice guy, and nothing wrong with the interaction at all, but I can't believe someone called the freaking cops on me for standing on a street for 30 minutes. I suspect I know who it was. There is this old guy that came out of his house and started trimming the edges of his lawn. The rest of the lawn looked "not that well cared for". I thought it was funny that he cared about the edges but not the lawn itself. It was also funny how, when he first came out, he turned and faced me and made eye contact for a solid 45 seconds without acknowledging me in any other way. Surly, my awkward wave and equally awkward smile should have keyed him into the fact that I was not there to rob his apparently broken lawnmower.

There are always two sides to a coin, and I can see how my hostile behavior (standing still on the sidewalk), especially when you consider that I also talked to a nice lady who was out walking her very cute dog. Surly, this stranger on the sidewalk is out for blood!

Ava was still surprised because she had been in the backyard when the cop arrived. She was super happy to see me :) All is well that ends well and it's a fun story for the future :) I fly back to the Florida heat on Monday. Keep an eye out for a live update a little bit later today with a special quest ;)

Have a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support :)
