2000, Go west

For quite awhile I was wanting to post a video commemorating my YouTube channel having reached 2000 videos. I waited so long that I actually now have 2060 videos on the channel. Anyway as mentioned I have been messing around with AI tools to make those summaries of my live streams. I decided to dip into AI once again, this time to make a song, Rolling to Dunkin. I gave AI one sentence to describe what I wanted and it spit out what you see/hear below in a minute or less. I then took the song and paired it with various clips of myself riding while drinking DD and voila, my 2000 video celebration is complete. Thanks AI.

Last night I had some free time that I was thinking about what I could use it for. I could go for a ride, I could go play some pickleball or maybe jump back into WoW. Instead I did none of those things and instead laid in bed and took a nap. It’s an odd choice to take a nap so close to when I would normally go to bed anyway but that’s what I did. My brain was just feeling worn out from poor sleep recently combined with ineffective circular thinking that succeeds in only causing mental fatigue.

So hurricane Helene is still swirling to the south and west of us. It is moving very slowly right now but is forecast to accelerate rapidly once it gets up into the gulf. The good news for us is it is still forecast to be far west when it passes this area. We will still see significant rain bands and appreciable wind but it should not be anything awful. Unfortunately for people living in the panhandle of Florida they are looking at seeing the brunt of a CAT 3 storm or worse later in the day Thursday.
