(APRIL 17th)

Hey Elise, I finally got a new one done. These can be really easy going to make or it can get terribly demanding it literally does all just depend upon the tracks themselves. We are doing alright, although Christina, who never made it out of Fargo, is back in inpatient again.

I kinda had that stupid thing happen where I woke up at 5 am or maybe it was earlier but yet I just did not feel like moving at all. Gotta wait for things to get dry again out there in order for me to start the work on the property.

I hope you are doing okay. I know this can't be easy for you either. I wanna be a strong shoulder for you to lean on. We love you and we'll keep waiting to get to be with you.

Hey Elise. Went to the land today. The work to be done is daunting but I think doable. Met the soon to be neighbor who invited me to check out a secret road behind the land plot. The little path went up to the top of the hill-crest and I could see all of Cola creek from there and even part of Laurel run. It was breath taking.

I'm excited to have things to show you. This hilltop may have been a small village site in the fort ancient period. I want to explore with you and Ribo. We love you. Hang in there. Soon fall will be here, we can start homesteading, we'll have a nice quiet community to mesh into near the best hiking areas. We can learn about each other, enjoy each other and start fresh here. We really want that fresh start to be with you. You are our dream come true.

I apologize for gushing. That view from up there put a lot of big and deep feelings in me. It was just so perfect. I'll show you someday.

Hey Elise. Sorry I don't have another release out yet but I'll do my best to get on it. I was up a bit late. I've been trying to wrap up finishing a book and I ended up going to be before wrapping it up last night. We love you Elise. I'll have a part 3 together later on today, probably in the afternoon. We love you. When I can get a little more time this afternoon, I'll tell you about the book I'm working on.

Wow, is it really bicycle day already? Sorry I don't have a new release ready. I should by tomorrow. DJ has a working car again so going to and from the land should get easier. I finished act IV of 'the watchtower', the book I've been working on for months. It is essentially the story of Cain and Abel sort of combined with the story of the tree(s) in the garden; trying to capture a version of the story that doesn't feel like it was written with an agenda for any one nation, belief system etc.

It is a little hard to rationalize in text, but I think you get the idea. There is still a 5th act to write that cuts ahead to the ending of the hopewell era when something like the Tunguska event occurred around Cincinnati. The story at the point largely concerns itself with sky iron, the gathering there of and the making of a cache of it under a bounder at cedar falls but a person who lived nearly 2000 years ago.

I hope you are well today. Ribo and I have been talking about you almost constantly. I apologize if this mornings I'm a bit brief, my empty stomach is killing me today. Shane ordered me some breakfast from down the road but it is not ready yet and must be picked up.

We love you. I look forward to getting to explain the watchtower in person. I could try to do so maybe this afternoon. There's obviously a whole sea of associated details in the plot and a long list of vocabulary and names. It ties rather directly into my own life with some of these events like the last real conversation I had with Marazita before he passed away.

I apologize, I'm not trying to come off as lazy. I have a new ep ready for tomorrow but it took all afternoon to mix. Mixing especially kinda takes it's toll on the mind. I really care about making stiff that cuts it for my tastes, weather or not that is way above or way bellow professional standard.

I also have multiple other projects I have to maintain, some of them on a youtube channel, and not all of the music. Ribo is also trying to get new material read for their page while trying to start working again.

It is kind of chaos. But this is the best chaos I've had in years. It's not lose my own chaos, it's building one that's caused the stir.

I hope when we can see each other I can kinda teach you the secret art so to speak. I don't mind doing some of the grunt work of mixing it if that or any other stage of the process daunts you. Shane and Arianna both started with collabs. We just passed a laptop back and forth while seated on the floor of a weed guy's place or in Shane's bedroom. Sometimes we did it in the farm house in hocking hills that we used to rent out.

I have faith that you'll find quite an imagination for the artistic use of sounds, tones, rhythms etc.
