Hello everybody and welcome back to my V-Log, it's my channel and we've got another amplifier circuit here on the table And a quick peek on it and Aliexpress just to start off with This is the LJM L12-2 power amplifier Ultralow distortion classic amp DIY Okay, this one says finished with radiator. I'm not sure about that I went for the two channel kit and what you get is a Couple of these and get rid of that First of all, I just want to point something out that there are different versions of this and on this Not sure if you're able to see it that clearly, but it says version three there We go down this actually might be able to Just have a peek down. I'll show that version three again in a moment. We're just going to quick look at this so what we got is Plus minus 50 volts power equals 120 watts into eight ohms 200 watts into four ohms out plus minus 50 volts. Okay The THD and Is zero point zero zero zero Five percent one kilohertz at 10 watts and This oh Yes, this is a Got a lot to put that in 35 volts us This 35 volts microsecond, this is the slew rate All right, that's like how fast it can go and it can switch between You know when things are no easier and quieter and how fast it can how fast it can move between it's a whole Topic to try and explain. I'm not going to get into that just that moment Dump in fact a lesson 200 Most of nothing and I want to know about any of this sort of stuff frequency response range 15 hertz to 50k With a minus 3db 20 kilohertz 20 kilohertz 0.02 db and that quiescent current 80 milli volt milliamps And you can run it from Plus minus 12 volts to plus minus 55 volts right voltage amplification factor is 31 times All right, so you can read upon all this anyway, but that's that little bit of information there So we're gonna just go down this now. I know I'm not a lot of these images. They're all generic You can see down here Where it's got it's very low Not quite as low as what they're saying comes in more of a not point Zero point zero zero one What we're gonna see we'll see what we get with this and This is what I wanted to show you You can hear that clothing about that's one of my cats jumping about On here as you can see see these multiple layered ceramic capacitors These are no good. No good. No good. No good. They like microphonic. So they'll pick up Vibration sounds and they'll amplify that sound through the system. They're not good this is version 3 here and Yeah, so that's no good, but I'll show you on the board that I have How that came to me now you see we're clearer here see these you don't want these You don't want these at all. That's a bipolar is here. It's more bipolar. It's in a film here but I show you in a second and The one thing about this load Is the price there Because it's class A B. So it's more efficient than the class A and The price doesn't include the radiator If you want a radiator for one of these you're gonna have to get something like this or you can find another one That's gonna be the right size and you can drill your your own holes into these are set up for different ones as well So these three here are not for this particular kit But these two on the end on each end are and the radiator The board fills the radiators quite nicely All right, so that's that there now. Let's take a peek at it itself. Here's the the kit itself On top of the radiator This is how you'd set it out probably yourself, which is It's simple enough to do as well. It may look like it's complicated It's quite nice because the the leads on these are long enough and hard enough to have this as the Amount so it's very very stiff and solid on there, which is all good And let me show you about these capacitors So if I just get that you see this one here We've got this film capacitor here and here's a little bipolar and here's a little bipolar Rather than the ceramics Because like I said, they're no good directors like small microphones and Won't do this any good whatsoever So it's it's a nice neat board. It looks lovely. I think it looks like quite pretty actually especially if you know Take a bit of time when you're doing it and Set it all out nicely. This is using all of the things just provided in the kit Which is pretty good So there's not a great deal to it there and you know once you get it and you build it up It's simple enough. Everything's marked out And I think what we ought to do now is take a peek at the actual Set up that we got so I was hiding this a little bit Just put that there funny little light today But this is how we got this Set up so I got a dummy load there connected to the output and our power now again, of course It's a positive negative power supply Usually we've got a negative voltage positive voltage in the virtual ground I'm using at the moment on this. I'm just gonna kill it like that for now. I am using a 30 volt transformer 30 volt AC so we got a 230 volt outputs We join the two middle in order to give us a virtual ground which is going in here And then we've got our one side This will be the negative side the 30 volts as you can see The negative lines on the capacitors there, and this is the positive side Which will be on the other side here Now I'm using the same capacitor bank As well I would normally use and that's all fine And the only difference here to the setup that is normal is I shift that out of the way Clearer he's I've had to build this little thing here Because the power output on this will be higher than what the input on this can take before this In fact clicks this thoughts This will because the input Okay, so in order for me to get around that just in this particular instance what I've done is I've built a little attenuator which is basically just a voltage divider and So I've divided the voltage by two So if I put a hundred volts in fifty volts comes out, yeah ten volts in five volts comes up, you know Which just means that I'm not gonna damage this and we're gonna get a clearer look at the output power on this Otherwise, I won't be able to go up As high as what we'd like to So let's give it a go then let's get it done the on the Audio analyzer and let's take a peek at what's going on. We've got the audio analyzer suite on the go Now I got to give it some Some juice I switched that down sorry if that was a bit loud We're gonna go from range from 10 Hertz to 30 kilohertz total harmonic Distortion and noise Channel one We're just gonna go for 200 millivolts RMS input and we're using eight homes as our load And we'll give that a little run. We're actually, you know, just the steps on that and we get better stepping We're gonna run that now I'd just like to say what this is starting is this is You get it see numbers here in the frequency. This is the percentage of distortion and the frequency So I've given it a bit more resolution. I've been 200 steps on this Takes quite a bit longer this ends, but you won't really get to see any difference and this is total harmonic noise and distortions so We can look over here at the percentage of distortion and we can see here the frequency We can also see down here on the spectrum analyzer. This is a nice sign. Look at this. This is minus 75 DBR All right, and we have our first There at minus 76 here, you can see the numbers here minus 93 and at the frequency So here has our two kilohertz. I believe that's going to be. Oh, sorry 595 first is our first harmonic and that's in at minus 74 point two and that's the highest as well the harmonics So that's pretty good all around and that's the second there My it's 81 Now these frequencies sorry So when we look across here, we can see this is all Pretty much below the note 0.1 until we get to about here 0.96 and we go 0.1, but this is with the noise as well So let's just filter out the noise and we look at the THD Wow That looks quite nice doesn't it? So this is 0.02 Right now you can sort of say this is in the high-five Range now. This is nice. It's a little bit squiggly there, but Still this is very nice, and this is probably the best That I've seen so far myself 0.01 there look Ten kilohertz, and you can use these peaks if you wanted to and say 0.010 Zero and even down here if you wanted to for the for the For the avatars inside of things you could call that out as a 0.006 Which is new enough going with the numbers that they've said Yeah, at that one part But that's not quibble that is that is pretty good. It's pretty good. So let's have a look at the frequency response I'm going to do the power last Just because it just lets the thing warm up a little bit I'm just going to drop these down so we get more of a zero point in the middle of the screen The same Knock the steps up Steps and we shall run that Okay, well just looking at it. I don't I'm not sure if there's anything I really need to say It speaks for itself really doesn't it? If we look at this area is our 20 Hertz 19.9 Hertz up there and here will be the DBR the DB difference against the reference voltage And in the DB of power this we look at that the 20 Hertz there. We are 0.00 DBR I said 20 Hertz Now somebody asked me the other day. Why do I bother showing on the square way 30 kilohertz? Well for one selfishly my speakers here go down to 35 Hertz So looking at 30 Hertz for me is you know pretty good and there's gonna be other people out there as well But more specifically the audio range starts at 20 Hertz and finishes at 20 kilohertz really Less if you really want to know what you can hear less than that But it you know we started 20 Hertz, so that's why I show the 30 Hertz square wave It may not be a plot applicable to everybody. You got to understand what your speakers are like Their specifics Specifications, but as we can see here, this is this is glorious. This is you know zero zero It's just staying at zero. There's no difference. So we get there zero point zero one We'll go up here zero point zero nine. There's gonna be the highest peak round about there And we're talking zero point one two DB against the reference. So Yeah You're not really gonna notice that it's not really gonna be a thing for you So let's just take a quick peek at that on the square wave, but that is lovely That is absolutely lovely, especially when you consider It's a kit It's cheap When you start adding the cost of a transformer bits and pieces it gets a bit more expensive, but it's still It's still something that's a pretty cheap. So let's just check on the scope. Let's take on the square wave Channel one of course keep over in the same and we're gonna just go straight in for the one kilohertz because that's there, you know The biggest thing let's do a single shot on the scope Boom And someone could argue oh the treble's slightly going up there. Nah, forget it. Just just ignore that That's okay There's gonna be bits noise and stuff picked up from in here This system so just you know that that's all fine. That's that does look really nice. Let's go straight down to 100 That's do a single hit there again And you could just say that that little tiny bit there is just you know So we gain on the treble remember we saw that in the frequency response anyway In the in the higher trebled areas there there we go Slight tiny bit again, and it's showing up on the scope, which is just this little tiny bit here But ignore it. There's no No point really looking at that. So let's just switch straight down to 30 as I want to know And do a single hit there When you see this coming down, it's like the bass drop off, but it's nothing It is nothing at 30 Hertz. So which means that if your speakers can represent it You're gonna get that nice Bass out of it now. I was listening to a song by Abba the other day I was decorating and I just put anything on anything that I can have a sing song to on doing the decorator And there's a bit in that song where it's it's like in the riff area of the song. I can't remember exactly But it's got this I'd never heard that before Well, I stood up here listening to it thinking it's not you know, it's not right in your face But it's there. Wow. I'd never heard that before. I didn't realize they've got that thumping You know that sort of driving bass coming in. This is Abba. Come on Anyway, that's the difference. This is can be the difference between how your amplifier and your speaker Can re-represent that music back to you So so let's just for the sake of it because we start at the bottom of the frequency on 20 Hertz and we're gonna the AF frequency and we're gonna Just the audio frequency, I should say Yeah, that's that's it. I mean there's hardly any difference between that and 30 Hertz isn't so that's all good Now, let's go up to that's five four K Yeah, five kilo Hertz Lovely I Wouldn't be able to tell you this is that slew rate thing This is the adjustment how fast can it go up now I wouldn't be able to tell you whether this is my measuring or whether that's the amp and To be honest, you know There's not enough there to really complain about Let's go to 10 10 kilo Hertz again, you know Not enough if it was like, you know all the way off or something might have a problem, but no, that's that's good Now we're gonna go to the Top end which is 20 kilo Hertz Look at that again Not a problem at all Not a problem at all. There's a little bit there, but I couldn't tell you whether this whether my my Dissident here can actually You know register it that quick Whether the waveform generator can output that quick So let's go to 30 kilo Hertz because that's what my speakers go up to and plenty of your speakers will go up to that Let's have a look at that there. Lovely Not a problem not a problem I'm impressed Just because it's a little bit more expensive, you know, you're gonna buy the radiator Yeah, but considering some of the ones that we've tested I've not really had as good outputs as this It's this isn't I've got a I've got to say it is because this does not tell you sound quality All right. This is just the Responses from it as an amplifier There's a circuit But it's not going to determine sound quality because we got to remember someone well a lot of it's pretty subjective Now we're gonna go for the one that a lot of people don't want to know now Remember, we got a 30 volt zero 30 volt which means we got 42 point two volts or something 040 point 42 point two volts something close to that 42 point three DC So it gives us about an 80 some of all swing. Yeah Just have those two together So total harmonic noise and distortion we're gonna go for With a test frequency and kilohertz bandwidth 30 kilo 30 kilohertz Test frequency one kilohertz. We're gonna stop at 1% Distortion and all right, we've got a load impedance of eight ohms And we got a range from one watt to 100 watts, so let's hit it. Yeah, I do this blast just because Circuit would have warmed up and it's you know better not just to stress it out from being cold and Trying to push it to its its limits here Okay, so there it is Now the reason why we've put this Using the differential side of this scope and we've put on the The voltage divider is because the attenuation ratio down here be a two to one That's why that's in there is to in case anybody noticed And as you can see before we hit that 1% Which will be going right up on the edge here in actual fact It shows us that we've hit 100 watts as possible that we might be able to get a little bit more than that But we have 100 watts So I just pushed that right to the edge 99.082 watts 0.068% distortion Well, it's didn't quite get up to the but what now I could probably do that again and set it up to a thousand watts here But I think I think that's doing you know, it's doing what it's supposed to do there And I don't know how warm this is here Yeah, that's pretty warm. So then We're just gonna leave that like that and we're gonna say right. Well, there we go This is our output from it now It says it can go up to minus 55 Which that means you can't use you could use a 35 volt output transformer. Yeah to lots of 35 volt AC And that will get you, you know, 50 50 volt something like that But if you go up to 40 volts trying to get you 55 it's actually go to like 56 and a half and I don't know, you know, I don't see the point in putting the maximum voltage in because that means you're running that full pressure and You're probably kinder to the to the components and everything else and the reality do I do you actually need that? At full pressure. No, that's why I've settled I settled for 30 volts 0 30 volts because it would give me that 40 42 volts output And I can also use that on other amplifiers up so they can go to like 45 volts, which is great So, yeah, there you go So I know you there's some guys out there that will be happier with that because you're gonna get your hundred watts And this is at eight homes All right, now we could set up and go for a four-aim load and see what we can do there But this time we're gonna run it on four aims and See how that goes Alright, this is one to one thousand watts Please nothing break. I'm just hoping it's cool enough. Yeah, that should be alright. Let's give it a go Okay guys, so there we can see All the way across this is quite nice again the crossover point is basically the same as the last time Well It's nearly twice the voltage Watts as last time well as we can see this is where we hit the hundred watts There's ninety nine point one. There's one hundred watts zero point zero six four percent and as we get into the realms of Let's say a hundred and fifty watts zero point zero five percent and as we do our crossover to one percent distortion We're on a Let's just put that right on the peak there hundred seventy nine point two nine watts And if we just take this from the zero point one percent on the crossover there were a hundred and seventy two point two eight four Watts at zero point one Zero nine percent distortion That's pretty darn good That's what and we're gonna remember as well. I need to bring the camera over now Sorry about my chair making some noise. I will invest. I will invest in a new one soon to try and cut that out But just what I want to add to this as well is I'm using this is 30 volts five amps zero 30 volts five amps. This says 300 VA this and I I have Well, my ideal setup would be to have two of these one for each channel To ensure that when it needs it it has that grunt It's not gonna need it all the time when it really does need that grunt It can pull it from the transformer without pulling the voltage down you pull the voltage down You're not gonna get the output and I think we can see on the screen that that does work quite well So that would be a monoblock set up the transformer the capacitor bank and The amplifier itself as a monoblock two of those left and right channels Ideally I'm sharing The capacitors and the amplifiers at the moment between the one Works very nice, but I prefer to have two of these so when I can find another one these exactly the same for a good price I'll probably buy another one. This is the one that I'm gonna have for my home hi-fi listening it's very enjoyable and And it and the output show that it does fall into the grade of what would be called high fidelity It may not be the best on the planet But look at what it is you're buying and look at how this isn't screened or anything like that But fortunately it's got a differential input Which means it gets rid of lots of noise and stuff automatically. All right Thanks for watching and I will catch you guys very shortly in the next one


We didn't need another Joker movie. Oh, it's not a Joker movie. We didn't need another movie with the Joker in it. It's actually just the same film. They just released a different cut of it.  That's what that is? That's from the Snyder Cut of Justice League. So they did different footage of the Joker with Jared Leto and put it in? I think they've literally filmed new scenes. That's what that is. It's out. How exciting! De-de-da Welcome back to our Japanese TV Entertainment sub-corban. Hi, I'm Rick. And you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter for more juicy content. And on Facebook, follow us on Twitter for more juicy content. See you next time! Follow us on Twitter, YouTube channel, the link is in the description below. Yeah. What are you doing there? I would like to see India do, like, the Joaquin Phoenix version of the Joker? but have it be played by Radhika Apte. Oh, she'd do it. Yeah, she'd get absolutely. That's what I want to see. The Joker, but it's her. Yeah, that'd be sweet. Or do like a Joker Harley Quinn, and she could be a Harley Quinn. And I'd go back and forth, because obviously Nawaz would be fantastic, and we know that there would be no question at all. I would love to see a character like that that has... No, I'm talking Joker and Harley Quinn. Obviously, I think Radhika could absolutely play Joker. But if we're doing Harley Quinn, and obviously she's my first choice for almost any role, but especially a Harley Quinn role. But then I think Vijay Varma would actually be really good as a Joker. Oh, absolutely. I would just... I would love to see a woman. There's several iconic roles that I would like to see a woman portray. That's one of them.  Yeah. And anyway, Amelia Earhart. I'd like Amelia Earhart to be played by a woman for a change. Absolutely. So today we're reacting to a Ranveer Singh performance in Filmfare Awards. Okay, cool, 2019. We actually tried to do this once. The quality was terrible. It was really bad the last time. The minute you said it, my first thought was, I hope the quality is good. Okay, this is the best version we've found. It's much better than the one we had. So you can actually see what's going on. You literally just couldn't tell what was happening. Yeah, it's something like someone shot it on their blackberry. Yeah, so this is better. It's not HD, sadly. It's more like 720, I'd imagine. That's better than what we saw. But it's Ranveer. It's a performance. I'm assuming it's going to be great. I am too. He's going to bring the energy. He has so much energy. Let's do it. That was funny. I just love that we were so unimpressed with him and Gully Boy.  Here we go. Give it a pop star if you want it to. What platform is he on? Whoa, what's happening? Gaga. That's a male. Yeah, not a male. It's reverb-ing. Oh, neckling with the reverb. Much of the crowd. I know the words. Up the time. If he's walking from up and down the way to Vienna, he was actually, he started in Calcutta. He's going to end up in Mumbai. Do my Gully Boy. My checkbook. My checkbook. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. Gully Boy. He got it, he got it, he got it, he got it, he got it He got it, he got it, he got it He got it, he got it Is that the Pico over there? It's some old lady, I don't know who it is Aww, is that Mama or something? I don't know That looked like Sanjay Leela Bansali next door Maybe it's his wife Hey! He got it, he got it, he got it He got it, he got it He got it, he got it, he got it He got it It doesn't matter if everybody else is not having a good time Ren beer is going to have a good time I'd love that about it I don't understand how you can be in that place with that energy in those songs that not be jumping around Wow, the tempos are so fast Constitution! Hello, hello Hello, hello Hello, hello Hello, hello Hello, hello Hello, hello You can sing in my car when I'm singing along to these songs They totally got copyrighted They totally got freaking copyrighted So they did my work for me, but it makes me very sad Because I wanted- Whirlballs! Ahhh! It's got so much energy! I expect nothing less from Ren beer and a performance like that I don't know how- He must be sweating balls in those jackets I don't understand how anybody sitting there isn't losing their mind jumping up and down and then at the end on their feet applauding and screaming Well, I think the rich people in the front Rich? I think people in the cheap seats that he was running around, they were probably going crazy I don't care what's in my bank account I gotta get my laughing out I just- Dang! That's us sitting in the chair watching it in a laptop If we were there, I probably would jump up on stage with him Yeah, I probably would Had a coronary and died and that would be a great way to go That was freaking everything I wanted it to be Well, of course obviously Ren beer And rightfully so, obviously whoever the artists are that are making the songs that know he's part of it know that it has to be such high energy songs to match what he's going to give because he's going to give you everything more than anybody else we've ever seen and so they kind of- that's why he has some of the best songs in terms of just getting you pumped Just if you take- and that's all that really was Gully Boy, Padma Bhat, Bajramasthani and then Dildak Nadoo Yeah, but if all you did was those three Those are some of our- those are by far the songs that have gotten us the most pumped up Yeah, Mahalri and- Lose your mind pumped up Padma Bhat The only other song that gets me pumped up like that, that isn't one from his film is the Rithic film that has Deva Sri Ganesha That one gets- I lose my mind when I was in there Yeah, that was a good one too That was everything I wanted it to be Great job, Ren beer I would love to talk to him in any way, shape or form but man, what I'd love to be with him in person Because you know he's going to give you that energy The energy Yeah, and I'm sure he was exhausted at the end He did all of that with that frickin' fur coat on Yeah, that's what I was saying He's probably sweating- Dying in there And I love the respect he gives as well I'm guessing it was Sanjay's wife or somebody Or his mom maybe At the beginning, but then at the end You know how he gives so much respect You've given me this Yeah, what I have right now is because of the fact that you gave me a chance to play these roles I think pretty much every single time we've seen him in an interview he doesn't fail to mention how humbled he is and grateful he is that he's getting to live his dream and that he just can't believe he's getting to live the life he's living It always annoys me when people think he's too showboating It's like that's who he is I don't think there's showboating about it I think he's just very happy to be where he is, as he should be And he's a very colorful person and expresses himself the way he does through his clothes, action dance If he was making no money and he was just doing anything else he was doing, he wouldn't be able to glam it out the way he does, but he'd still be doing what he does, that's him I think he's a very authentic person He's just a bunch of energy which is fantastic enough of it with the people of his status And that is the same guy that does the character in Golly Boy I know, it's great, it's fantastic He's always watching, so you're watching right now sir, please go and share Yeah, you said you're watching us like a hawk Yeah, so please come on the channel We would love to talk to you And if you're in LA, if we find out you're in LA I will beat you And we didn't get a chance to connect with you Dude Come on So many likes


The primary responsibility to Northern Command is to provide Army forces for the Northern Command Commander in the execution of some of his missions in support of Homeland Defense, civil support, and theater security cooperation missions. So what does that mean? That means that the Army formations that come out of the Department of the Army, the combative command, in this case the Northern Commander, has an obligation to perform a number of missions. Like with our partners in Mexico, we build partner capacity. To do that, we need soldiers to partner up with our Mexican partners down there in the form of their Sedena, which is their Army. And we do mission training with them on patrolling counter-IEDs. A lot of the things that we learned in theater, for example, as lessons learned in Afghanistan and Iraq, we take those particular lessons learned and we train our partners so that they don't have to learn those same lessons if they encounter that same type of adversary. From a civil support perspective, we support, we're dense defense support to civil authorities. Similar to what you saw in our recent vibrant response exercise, where we have both a local, a state, and a federal partners. And we are in a partnership. Here in this particular theater, we are not the principal federal agency. Somebody else is. And so we're in support of, in this case, FEMA. And we bring a lot of unique capabilities. We have a lot of resources. But in the homeland, with the national response framework, we work within a construct with our other federal partners in order to provide those resources to the states. Where do you want to see the command go? What's your vision? Having served in the capacity as the deputy commanding general, I have had a valuable opportunity to sit back and kind of think about that very question. I think personally for me, where I see the organization going is really expanding on our partnership building here in the homeland. It's critical. It's how we do business. So I want to do more with regards to going out and engaging our state partners and our federal partners. And I also want to go work with our Mexican partners and our Canadian partners. Is this exercise a good example of how Army North would respond to a catastrophic event? It's important that we work together. Nobody can do this alone. And I think these types of exercises, the most important thing that comes out of it is really the partnership and the friendships and the relationships you build that hopefully will serve you into the future. As a citizen, I find it hard to get my county to work with my city to even just clean the streets. How do you work this inner relationship with other federal agencies? I think primarily the big challenge in a catastrophic disaster that you have to overcome is the ability to communicate and share information both horizontally and vertically. When you roll into an event like this, local officials are already in place. They have a great deal of information. And so trying to build a common operational picture of the incident site to me is key. And that's one of the hardest things to do because you have to grab and gain that information from all the entities that are operating in the infected area. And that means a whole of government approach and a whole of government common operational picture. And that's difficult. We're just one small part of that. That's scary. It is scary. It is scary, but I will tell you, we got some great folks as identified during this exercise that work hard to build that. And we had a sharing of information between the state and the federal and FEMA and ourselves during this exercise. And we got fairly close. And I feel absolutely encouraged by the fact that through our efforts here, we're better prepared. And I think closer to getting at a rapidly developed common operational picture should a catastrophic disaster happen. I've talked to people out in the field and they all indicate that there's a lot of detail here and that there's devil in the details. I think some of that's correct. I think meticulous attention to detail is important. I think not being late to need in this particular type of environment is probably one of the most important things of all. The American people have an expectation that when you show up, you're going to be able to deliver. That's part of what this exercise is about as well, is putting a mindset in our formations and in our leaders that understanding the commander's intent is probably the most valuable thing to understand when you're in this environment. Because no plan is going to survive first contact. And so you need those leaders out forward at the tip of the operation that can make decisions that can support the American people. And that's very important. Just out of curiosity, an exercise like this, a vibrant response, is being built around a terrorist attack. From your perspective, do you consider this to be a what if or a when if? Just recently we had Japan impacted by an earthquake followed by a tsunami that destroyed one of their nuclear reactors. If you take a look at that natural disaster, it created some of the effects that we have here today. As a matter of fact, the Japanese responded with over 100,000 soldiers. And many of those soldiers actually responded into the hot zone and had to put water into the reactor in order to cool it down. That's a real world event that requires the same technical expertise that we have that resides in this particular enterprise that we're exercising here. We hope that a terrorist situation of this magnitude never happens. But I think it's important to serve the American people to be prepared for this type of thing. And for the American people to have confidence in their military that we're going to respond with the same tenacity that we did the past 12 years in persistent conflict to something that happens in the homeland. As a matter of fact, probably more so. Because this is our homes. This is our states. These are our families. So I think it's important for us to train to the top and the highest and the most dangerous course of action so that we're prepared. And I think the American people expect that. You talk about this exercise as a critical learning tool for your soldiers, but it is half the size that has been before in the past. And I think that's due to budget cuts. So what's the impact? I look at it as really an opportunity for us to take a look at both virtual, live and construct type of training. We have all that going on in this particular exercise. Everybody is feeling the crunch of the economic and the budget cuts. And so I think to be honest with you, we got to take a look, a hard look at how we do business. And we got to leverage technologies to get at the training. But I think it's also important for commanders to be able to look eye to eye with their subordinate commanders, especially in this environment, and be able to exercise them as well in a field training exercise. Yes, we would like in a perfect world to exercise with all our formations. But we understand that reality is everybody is going to be impacted by the budget environment that we're in today. And through, fortunately, through our technology and our advancements and simulation, we have been able to incorporate many of our formations, although be in a virtual construct for this exercise. You talk about cooperation with the other federal agencies. You mentioned FEMA, you mentioned the FBI. Who else is out there? There's many others. I mean, we work with the U.S. Secret Service in some of the events that we have here in the homeland. They are also great partners. You know, they are impacted as well, I might add, by the budget environment. And so what is amazing to me is that here at Vibrant Response, you actually had FEMA come in a pretty big contingent of exercise members. And then you also had a state emergency management agency that brought upwards of 100 people to be a part of this exercise. Because they also see the importance of being able to respond to the American people in this type of really horrific type of event. In a catastrophic event, like what's staged here at this exercise, there's 40 to 50,000 dead. What about the emotional impact that your soldiers will be facing? It's hard. It's hard to replicate really the true environment that our soldiers are going to encounter. But we try in some small part by building scenarios. We actually go to great lengths to train our role players and actually go through the moulage piece in effect so that they see, at least in some part, the horrific effects of somebody who detonates a nuclear weapon. But we'll never be able to really truly do that. I think, to be honest with you, the physical destruction that's going to be done in this particular environment or this particular event is going to pale to the psychological effect it's going to have, not only on the citizens of the affected state or states, but also on our soldiers. So we've got to prepare them for what they're going to see. And we've got to do as best we can to replicate that environment. So that ain't the first time they really experience it, and that's a difficult process of this exercise. I personally think we've got at least a little bit of that, but nowhere in the extremists that it would actually be. Are you satisfied with this exercise? I'm never satisfied with an exercise. I always think we can build on it and do better. And as a matter of fact, as soon as we end this exercise, one of the first things we'll do is sit down and we'll run an after-action review and determine where we can improve. We call it wire brushing, removing the warts, but in a lot of cases, a number of the things we did in this exercise are first. And it's a first. It's not perfect. So we've got a long way to go. We'll continue to push to improve. We'll continue to invite other partners in, because we think there's a strength in having partners here. We call it the real-life opposing force. When you have an actual state coordinating officer or an actual federal coordinating officer, you really can't replicate that. And so to improve upon what we have here, I think we've got a long way to go. But it's not from a lack of trying, but I think the next time you see this exercise, it'll be even better. Bottom line, what should Americans like me know about Army North and what you're doing that's going to make us feel good about our continued quality of life? I think personally what I like the American people to know about U.S. Army North is, you know, back when I was in the 82nd Airborne Division, there was a saying, sleep well at night. The 82nd Airborne is standing watch. I like to say that U.S. Army North is preparing for something that we hope will never happen. And we don't want the American people to be concerned about it. Just know that there are men and women in uniform from all branches of service that are working hand-in-hand with our federal partners to take care of them and to make sure that we do everything we can to serve the citizens of the state and to the nation. That's what we're all about. We're all about partnering and we're all about serving the citizens of this nation, defending them if we have to, working with our partners in the civil support to provide them the necessary requirements should they need them, and working with our partners both in Canada and in Mexico and in Bahamas to build their capacity so that we can work hand-in-hand to defend not only our nations but to defend them as well. So I think that's what I'd like to get out about Army North. We're pretty proud of our soldiers. We're pretty proud of our organization. I like my mission. I think the soldiers that serve in our ranks like our mission because we're all about serving our nation and most of the time we do it 9,000 miles away. It doesn't get any better than to serve right here in your home. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be leading these great men and women, and I look forward to the next few years where we'll be able to get at a lot of these issues that were raised not only at this exercise but really what we're working on every day. That to me is exciting. It's a challenge. It's an opportunity. Just like working in a constrained resource environment to me, in some cases people look at the negative side of it and say, you know, that's a challenge. For me sometimes it's an opportunity and we're going to grab on to the opportunity. We're going to go out there and I think next year I invite you to come back out and visit our exercise and I think you'll see that we'll build upon it and we still won't be perfect but we're still going to be getting after things that serve the American people and probably one of the most, I think, horrific things that can affect the American people. We just hope that it never happens, but hope's not a good method. Personally, I really appreciate what the men and women that came here for this exercise have done. I think the American public can be proud of their sons and daughters who were standing on point for the homeland.


down Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke, the violence that moved West with Young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, the United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely. In a world of doubting Thomas' decades ago, it never would have been possible for stars to shine in the daytime, but in this day and atomic age, anything's possible. Thus, it's not only possible, but a fact that only on stations of the CBS radio network, stars do indeed shine in the daytime, and they're stars of the first magnitude, but in all, you'll find them illuminating an entire segment of your daytime listening every Monday through Friday. These stars have all been named by celestial authority vested in their forebears. Those names are Arthur Godfrey, Art Linkletter, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Gary Moore, and Derwood Kirby. You won't find them in your book of the planets and stars, but no compendium of show business luminaries would be complete without them. Monday through Friday, your radio set is your personal telescope on this star-studded display. And your CBS radio station. To list them once again, Arthur Godfrey, Art Linkletter, Bing Crosby, and Rosemary Clooney in tandem, and Gary Moore and Derwood Kirby. Enjoy them often. The best round is head on a naked-addle-about-his-brain.  Well, that ain't a stinger, then.  Yeah, well, Mr. John, I can't rightly do that. Why don't you try opening the window? No, no, no. I just closed it. That's how he got in in the first place. You can't be too sure of that, Mr. Moore. I've no b----, Mr. Church. Hello, Chester. Matt. Hello, Samantha. Come on in. Sit down. Yes, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Matt, I need your help. Sure, Samantha. What can I do? Well, it's George. George? Being in some kind of trouble? That's what I don't know. He ain't come home since day before yesterday. A home from where? A home from right here in Dodge. He rode in from the ranch Monday morning, and I ain't seen him since. Doesn't sound like George. He ain't awake two nights. No, Matt, it don't. I didn't worry too much about the first night. The man has a right to do some celebrating every now and then, but... Uh, Samantha, was he celebrating something special? Well, it was my the special to us, Matt. He just worked the place free and clear. We sold our first big stand of cattle, Matt, and the money took care of all that we was owing. Uh-huh. Uh, bringing the money to Tom. He saddled up the minute he got it. Rightly couldn't wait to pay off that note, Matt. All right, Samantha, I'll tell you what we'll do. Let's go over to the bank. They ought to know something about this. I've been there. I've been every place else I could think of, and Tom, nobody's seen him. Seems like he never got here at all. Yeah. Tell me this. Who else knew that George was bringing in the money? Nobody, except maybe Ben. He probably know about it, all right. Ben?  Yes, Matt.  Raid got his mom and Paulie. He's just like our own. Yeah. Nobody else knew. Well, well, the price come right up just as George come out of the barn. They rode off together. Have you seen Hobie since then? I asked around for a map, but... I ain't found him. Matt. Yeah? I ain't never been one to give away. I know you haven't. I've got a bad feeling about this, Matt. I've got a bad feeling about George. I ain't sent. Samantha, now you're just for a bad feeling yet. You just let me start looking, huh? I guess I got to. I ain't getting nowhere. You go on home now. You try to get some rest. Is it going to do George any good for you to get worn down? I guess you're right. Sure, I'm right.  I got no need for Doctor and Matt. Just you find George. Yeah, I'll start looking, Samantha. Right now. I'm looking for Hobie Price. Hobie Price? Yeah. Have you done something? I'm not sure. Have you seen him lately? No, I haven't. I haven't been in today. It's the last couple of days, I'm interested. Last night? No, night before. Hobie was in man all right, Matt. Did you talk to him? Nobody could have talked to him that night. What do you mean? He was drinking whiskey like he was never going to get any more. Buying drinks for everybody in the place. You haven't seen him since. No, Matt, I haven't. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was still sleeping at all. All right, Kitty. Thanks. Are you off to look for Hobie Price? He's one of the people I'm looking for. I'll see you later, Kitty. Sure, Matt. See you later. It's no surprise to anybody that the attractive and inexpensive view radios have proved popular. It's no surprise, that is, to anyone who listens to CBS radio with so much in the way of music, comedy, drama, variety, and news coming your way every day on CBS radio more than one radio around the house is more than a convenience. It's almost a necessity for anyone who has a daily routine. The man of the house wants to come home to an attractive home and a detractive wife but household chores in themselves are rarely inspirational. The smart homemaker is one who refuses to let her regular responsibilities get her down. She gets her work done every day but she gets her entertainment in, too. She has a radio in the kitchen as well as the living room. Chances are she has a portable radio as well to follow her from one task to another around the house. She knows why the inexpensive new radios are so popular and she knows the value of CBS radio, too. This ridin' and all we gotta do is find Hobie Price. Maybe. Well, don't miss Church seen him ride off with her husband, didn't she? Yeah. And Miss Kitty said she seen him throwin' his money around that night, didn't she? Yeah. And he ain't no worse than he found round our, did he? No. Well, let Miss Dillnade just make sense. We are to be ridin' off after Hobie Price instead of wastein' time out here at the church place. Chastor, you know which direction Hobie Price rode off in, do ya? Well... No, Miss Dillnade, don't...  Well, no, sir. All right, then. Something else might have happened to Church. He might have had an accident right and then. I want to look the countryside over real good. Yes, sir. There's a lot of land to cover on the church spread. When we get to the fork, you ride off north and I'll ride south. Don't just stick to the trail, Chastor. Take a good look around any trees and through the bushes. Yes, sir. Miss Dillnade, don't I look real good? Even though there ain't hardly no likelihood of finding it. You'll make up your mind about that later. All right, Miss Dillnade, all the same. Here's the fork. Sure, you won't need me with you. I think I'll be able to handle it, Chastor. Won't you go along now? All right, Miss Dillnade. Guess you know what you're doing. Well, I know what I want you to do, anyway. Any ideas, Ben? Marshal, no. Just like it always done. Oh, he set off a bit earlier than usual. Oh, yeah, he done that all right. He was mighty anxious to get that money to the banker. He didn't say anything to you special about anybody he was going to see or anything. No, the banker. Hang on his mind, getting the money there and that note paid off. Never set well with George on any money. He wanted things free and clear. Samantha, did you and George... Oh, Matt, you're thinking he might just rode off from me? That ain't so. No argument, sir. Well, I ain't saying George and I never had our differences, because we did, sure enough. We got along, Matt. We was comfortable together. He wouldn't have rode off, would he, Ben? No, man. No, there wasn't ever nothing like that, Marshal. There's no cause for thinking it. Matt, you think you'll find him? Lots of people turn up, Samantha. We'll keep trying. That ain't so. But I ain't one to ride around in the hot sun. I'll say that. He'll live. Oh, yes. I'll live, all right. But we might just as well have stayed here. That's the thing that bothered me. I never mind, Chester. Maybe something came in the mail that's worthy of your while. Sure do. Chester, would you light someplace you're starting to meet a fidgetland? Oh, well, sure. Mr. Dunn, you go right on ahead and read your letters. Oh, thank you. That's very nice of you. Mr. Dunn, nothing to talk about. What's the matter with you? You got a beetle under your shirt or something? All right. Well, I know what Mr. Dunn, but it does seem that there is always some place that needs scratching. Something by chance? Almost, right. Be it. Just these little red patches here. Don't be all right. Just itch. That makes me itch, too. Mr. Dunn! Go on, Chester. Take your itch to dock. Comey person in dodge today complaining about anything being cold. There. I'm glad to do it. I'd hate to see Matt bothered by your scratching the way you said he was. Oh, he sure was. I could have stood it all right with Mr. Dunn. He was getting pretty edgy about it. You tell him for me that he's lucky he only had you to contend with? Oh, that, Doc. I had another case just like he was yesterday. Ben Stanley. Funny thing, too. The first time I've seen Ivy poison this year, then there's two of them in two days. Put your shirt on now. Okay, Doc. Would have been scratching real bad, too, Doc. Like three hound dogs with fleas. You had a pretty good taste of it. You know, that's good. What's good about it? It's just good to know that somebody else scratched his self when he itched. That's all. I bet Mr. Dunn would scratch his self, too. Well, he would if he had what you've got. Now here at Chester, you better take a bottle of this along and dab some dilution on your itchy spots every once in a while. Keep the itch down. Oh, well, thank you, Doc. That's all right, Chester. As the old saying goes, you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.  Oh, no, Chester, never mind. Go scratch Matt's. Dennis James with a long time favorite. And one favorite folks have relied on over the years is Kellogg's All Brand. Since 1919, America's favorite natural laxative cereal. Kellogg's All Brand is the safe, gentle way to overcome irregularity caused by lack of bulk in your diet. It tastes good, too, and it never gets mushy in milk. There's only one All Brand, Kellogg's All Brand. So relieve constipation the way millions do with Kellogg's All Brand. A, double L, hyphen, B, R, A, N. Yes, you're so right to stay regular with Kellogg's All Brand. Try it, okay? Okay. Anything at the church place? You might as well have stayed right here. You're thinking of all the beer I'd have bought. We don't need your business today, Matt. An awful lot of people are drinking an awful lot of beer. That's a good day for it. Oh, here comes Chester. Yeah. Miss Dylan, excuse me, Miss Kibbut, I got some news for him. That's all right, Chester. What is it, Chester? Well, sir, I passed Moss Grimmick on street, and he said a fellow loader in his morning said he'd seen Holby Pryce. Where? Alarn it. He says you stay in the hotel there big as you please. It's a nice hot ride for tomorrow. Yes, sir. Oh, I hope you have more luck than you had today. Yeah, me too. Now, you must have seen Doc, Chester.  Oh, yes, sir, I did. He gave me some white stuff in a bottle. You're supposed to do your drinking in here, Chester. Oh, no, Miss Kitty, it wasn't a drink. It was to splash on myself to cure me of the itch. Thank goodness it's working. He was driving me crazy, right? Well, you better start worrying about yourself, Miss Dylan. What do you mean by that? Well, this itch may be something that's going to spread around. You might get it for yourself. Doc, took Ben Stanley for it just yesterday.  I never heard of an epidemic of poison. Neither did I. Ben Stanley? Yes, sir. Doc gave him a bottle of the self-same lotion just yesterday. Chester. Did you get off your horse when you were riding on the church place this morning? Yes, I did. I watered him at the creek that wandered all over the place there. Down in them brambles. Real, real place here. I'm going to give you a chance to see it again. Well, no, I ain't that anxious to tell the truth. We'll be riding out there in the morning early. I thought you were going to learn it. Maybe I won't have to, kiddie. Chester, let's go get some sleep. You'll find the exact place where you got off your horse, huh? Well, yes, sir, but I don't see how it makes all that difference, so... Well, let me worry about that. Remember that dead log? I'll be sorry after you go through these bushes again. Oh, Miss Dylan? I like to be wrong. You can't hang a man just for scratching yourself. No, you can't, Chester. Go right that way. All right, Dylan, it matters to me. I just want to help you look around. Yeah. The church said you was after Hobie Price, but nobody else did. And you weren't about to tell. I didn't mean no harm to Mr. Church-Marcy. If he'd just give up the money easy, if he just wouldn't have thought.

Good morning guys, welcome to a new vlog. Today I am going to a cycle bar and I have no other plans today, which is kind of nice because whatever I have like a weekend on with like doing a lot of things, I always need like a weekend of like chillness. I'm not gonna lie, but I did get a couple new things that I'm gonna show you guys in this video because I'm so excited. So I got the brewmate.  And then I wanna unbag a new like aloe bag. I actually ended up getting it on eBay but it's like new with tags because I didn't realize that they stopped making the big tie-dye tote. And I'd always wanted that. I'm like, I kept pushing it off saying like, oh, I'll get it like later. I don't really need that. But like, I really wanted it. So when I went to the website to look, they didn't have it anymore. I'm like, did they discontinue this bag? I was like kind of just on the fence about getting it. I don't know.  So it was under, I think it was under $50. Like it was $47, which wasn't bad either because I was hoping I'd get like a deal on it since they're like kind of a dime a dozen. But I'd always wanted one. This is so random, but I also wanted to chat about the bar sweatshirt. So I had gotten one, but I put the wrong address. So I emailed them and everything. But then I think somehow, like one of the apps, my order got canceled. So I don't know if I'm gonna get the bar sweatshirt or not, probably not, which is kind of sad. But then I saw this TikTok of someone saying that the bar sweatshirt isn't even that good a quality. And that makes me so sad because I love Bridget and I love her brand, but obviously I can't afford that. So I mean, I like it and I wanna support her but I just monetarily cannot do that. The sweatshirt I could afford. So it makes me sad that it's not that good a quality. So I'm thinking that I might go to eBay to look for one. I'm sure that they have like sizes that people didn't like the size or something they're trying to sell. So I'm gonna be on the hunt for that. So yeah, we'll see. I don't know, but that's it for my rambles this morning. I'm almost late to this class because traffic was so bad. It's like starts in four minutes and I'm just now like turning onto the road where cycle bar is, but it's fine as long as I'm there like within the first song, like it'll be fine. Oh my gosh, you're the lady now next to me. This is awkward.  So good lighting. I wanna show you guys my brewmate. Okay, this thing is so cool but there's already like one thing I don't like about it.  Like this is a piece. I'll just show you guys. So if you turn the little knob, this is like the little thing. You can, when it's in the middle, you can take it completely off. Like this is its own piece. And then this lid is its own piece. This lid comes off and then the straw comes off. So inside I have water, but basically the straw comes off like this. It's actually kind of difficult. But anyway, so the straw is in two pieces. So it takes more effort to like take a sip of water. Like I'm not gonna lie. I know it's first-world problems and I overall really like this cup. It's just like the Stanley, it's just so easy to just like sip on your water or whatever drink you have in it. But this, it takes a little bit more effort. There's some sort of magnet because it's a magnetic closure and then you turn the lid, this little knob like I showed earlier, to lock it or to open it. So the ridge, if it's like all lined up, it's open and you can drink your water. And then when it's in this little indent right here, I don't know if you can see that, but it's closed. So literally like no spillage, nothing, which honestly I think is really neat. And I know that there's other water bottles and cups that do the same thing, but I'm still amazed and I think it's cool. But I don't know, I'm gonna give it like some time. I know for work, I'm probably gonna keep using my Stanley because I don't wanna like have to fight drinking water because I don't have that much time. Like I just wanna like sip and go, you know? Not that this takes a long time, but I don't know, it's like I have to exert more energy to take a drink of water. That's the best way I can explain it. Okay, so I don't know what has like come over me. I keep seeing people with this jacket, but it's the cropped version and it doesn't have a hood. See, this one has a hood. And originally I never really wanted this one to begin with. I ordered the wrong thing. This was back in 2020 when I was literally like spending a lot of money because I wasn't doing anything or going anywhere. And I don't know what happened to my hair glue. I didn't have like anywhere to go or due because of like COVID, you know? So I basically just like online shopped. It was so bad, but I still was working too. So I didn't like lose my job or anything. Thank goodness. So I like obviously shopped and I ordered this but it was like the wrong thing. So I'm wanting to go to little lemon because I checked on the app and they do, well it says that they have it in stock.  I'm gonna get Starbucks too when I'm down there. I wasn't really expecting this, but my friend, last time I was in Winter Park, she got this jacket cause she was like, it's a sign. And I'm like, you know what, it is a sign. You need to get it. And then like, now I've seen it everywhere and I'm like, now I want it. And I'm thinking about, I might sell this one. I still have another jacket on eBay that I'm trying to sell but this one's gonna go for like probably really cheap. Like I'm probably gonna post it for like $30 because it's been worn hardcore. This is my oldest Lululemon jacket or probably, well no, I had leggings but this is like the second oldest Lululemon thing I've had so it has a lot of wear and tear on it. Nothing's damaged about it but it's just definitely been, you know, heavily used. So I am probably going to try to sell it but at like a dirt cheap cost, like $30, $25. So I can like get something for it because kind of like the rule I go by, like if I'm gonna get something, something has to go because like, why would you have like so many of something? I don't know. It's just my way of thinking. I think that's what I'm gonna do. I'm trying this like ponytail thing because I don't know, my hair is just, it's not doing a good job. I think that's okay. It didn't look bad. So yeah, I think I'm gonna go try on that jacket and get some Starbucks in Winter Park because why not? This is the great thing about having a workout class in Winter Park. You can just come here and have a Lululemon. I swear, I think celebration needs to get a Lululemon in town. Something like Park Ave with all these shops, that would be great. But also too, I'm gonna see if they'll take my healthcare worker discount and just show them a picture. I don't know if that'll work or not. But we'll see, fingers crossed. Okay, found these pants. They go with the scuba zip, the full zip I got. So I think I'm gonna get these. They're so cute. Okay, and the jacket I'm totally getting because it's so cute and it almost looks like it's a mint for me because I have such a short torso. So, yes. Oh my gosh, I love it. These two things I'm definitely getting. That, I might wanna try on a bigger size because it was old-type. It was tight here but fit around my waist here. So it was a weird fit. Okay, so they did honor the discount but they needed me to put my stuff to get verified. Note to self, just gonna go to the Disney Springs one because they always just do it without me having to show them anything. But I did apply for the verification but they only had nurse or doctor as the option for a healthcare worker. So I'm over here like, well, I'll try, whatever. So, yeah. Fingers crossed, it gets approved, I'll let you know. Okay, so update because they just emailed me back. I don't think I'm gonna be able to get verified or whatever. That's weird, but whatever, it's fine. I'm just gonna know to always just go to the Disney Springs one to get that honored because they always do it.  I haven't tried at Millennium Mall. So we'll see if I ever like shop there but just knowing Winter Park doesn't do it. Okay, so I ended up getting the jacket and the pants which is crazy and it kind of sucks that I can't apply for the discount thing because it's only for doctors and nurses.  But again, I'll just go to the Disney Springs one. So we have the pants. I absolutely love these, they're so cute. And I don't have any sweatpants if I'm being honest. Like I don't own a pair. Like I don't own black booties either which I really need to get some because I wore mine like until I could feel literally the ground beneath my feet, which is like weird. But I didn't have that. And then I did go ahead and get the jacket because I had my size and I just wanted it. So I got it and I'll know it was payday. So I'm happy. And the best noise there is my coffee. I'm gonna head home now. And I know Valerie's cooking dinner and like she's grilling out steaks. So that's gonna be super good, super fun. I always love it when she cooks. Always such a treat. So I'm trying to make this little like clip for TikTok and Instagram. But it was taking forever and I didn't get my wording the way I wanted it and I didn't like the framing either. So now we've got this going on so hard man, so hard. Okay, so I wanna show you guys real quick the aloe bag I ordered from eBay. Oh, so I thought this was the aloe bag, okay. No, it's the pajamas. All right, it's the pajamas I ordered for the gallantines. Yeah, it's like super late. I'm definitely going to return these. So that was super anti-climatic. Okay, let's try this again. I just got the notification that the aloe bag came. I might as well just keep these because I already have them. And in case I get invited to like another gallantines party next year, they're good to have. But let's open this on up. I hope it's cute and I hope it's like bigger. I mean, it's kind of like in a small thing. Oh, it's just folded. Well, I mean, I kind of knew it was folded. Ooh, this is actually kind of cute. And the tags are on it. Ooh, this is so cute. It's perfect for the beach. And with like spring and summer coming up, I'm really excited to use this. I might use it as a work bag too, eventually, but okay. It's so giant. You can probably fit like, this is like the perfect beach bag. I'm very happy with this. And then as you can see too, like it does have the tag on it still. So I just wanted one that was like newer. Like I didn't want it like heavily used. It's recording now. Okay, hello. Tell everybody what you're making. I'm making filet mignon. I'm making potatoes and butter with sour cream. And I'm making broccoli with holidays. Sherry's on potato duty. We're going to start calling you Sherry's potatoes. I know, right? I wonder if we're going to pop open that line. I don't know.  Well, I don't have it, it's not ready yet. Well, it's not ready. It's in the process. I mean, I've got to put, I mean, they're in the pots that they came in, but I have to put the dirt potting salt. But we've got parsley, we got garlic chives, oregano and peppermint. Yep. And the steaks are on. Yes, no, not yet. Not yet. No, but still clean the girl. Yeah. Sherry and I are out here enjoying the lanai with doggy.  Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's so funny. Oh, no. Sherry and I have been splitting our glass of wine and here is dinner. Look how beautiful. This is Sherry's. And the broccoli is actually over there. It's gonna be served shortly. The next day. Valerie, what are we doing? We're going to the gym. Woo-hoo. Short commute. One of the Rotary Club members, I'm a part of this thing called Rotary. So one of the members is like, oh, they're collecting things.   But I will like, I have a lot of stuff to donate. So I definitely want to give back and everything. So that's what I'm doing now. And Piper really wanted to come. We haven't had an outing in a bit. So she and I are on our way to run errands so I can drop that stuff off and go to Starbucks. I swear it's always a production taking this girl because there's just so much to carry in general. And then dealing with a dog, it's hard. But it was worth it. Got everything organized. Got a bag, got the cup holder so I could carry things in. But yeah, we got the family's order. It's that time again. It's Girl Scout Cookies time. So I know I like Sherry. So I know Sherry likes these, the Thin Mints and then the Caramel the White. And then Valerie likes these, what I do like them too. So she's gonna get more. And then the Peppermint Butter Patties. I love those. The Peanut Butter Patties. Oh my gosh, so good, so good.
