Podcasting on the Beach

Quick travel update and testing out of the Mazatlan recording “studio”.
Speaker 1:

Hello. Welcome to Daily(ish) for Tuesday, December 22. It's, oh, boy. 28 degrees Celsius. Feels like, I don't know what's with the wind chill.

Speaker 1:

Probably warmer, I guess. I don't know. As you can hear, I'm coming to you from a ceramic cement bedroom with a bit of echo. That's oh, sorry. That's a two Fahrenheit for those of you in the Greater United States metropolis.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

So that's that's you know not that's failing, guess. It's apparently it's worse than 82% of Mexico. Woah. Sorry about that. Apparently, I laugh, I boom the mic.

Speaker 1:

Still working on proper mic placement here, and I'll maybe try and send a picture of the Patreon folks of how I'm actually set up here because I'm kinda just in there in the what's the bedroom with, like I said, ceramic walls and cement walls, tile, you know, and, lots of flat surfaces with a dynamic mic that makes it really picking up every little thing that I do. So, we made it here though okay. Arrived in we're in Mazatlan, Mexico. Don't if I ever actually said that before, but, sort of on the West Coast Of Australia, West Coast Of Mexico. If you follow the Baja Peninsula down from California to the sort of the tip, if you go back over to the mainland, that's kind of where roughly where Mazatlan is.

Speaker 1:

So right on the ocean, which is beautiful obviously, and nice and humid, Definitely a huge change from what is back home, I think, about a 50 degree temperature swing and a very dry cold. So I'm happy to be here, to be honest. I know you might be surprised. Some people aren't fans of warm Christmas holidays. I happen to be one who is.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if I would do it every year if we had if we were doing this had to. If we were doing this every year, I think I do enjoy the, like, cozy inside furnace blasting as a storm rolls over outside. And but, yeah, I definitely am overall a fan of the warm weather and not having to worry about shoes, pants, even shirts for that matter. Not that it's nudist colony, but you know what I'm saying. So anyways, three different flights with three kids, chance of having a meltdown or seat kicking incident seemed pretty high, but we managed to make it through without anything too serious other than running through Vancouver International Airport and not knowing for sure if my our five year old was actually with my sister's family until we got to the gates.

Speaker 1:

So that was fun. But it was it was there, arrived okay. And so holiday hours are kind of in effect right now over the next little while, which as a business owner, you know, means, you know, trying to limit myself to an hour or so a day of work and checking emails and responding to stuff that and pretending like I'm, you know, back home sitting in my basement shivering. No. I'm just told most of my clients who I'm communicating with on a regular basis right now that where I am and what's going on.

Speaker 1:

So there's no no big surprise if they asked to meet for coffee or something. And yeah, just the usual boring details of, you know, too much sun and waterlog from too much pool time and not enough time spent just walking along the beach thinking about how I can change the world and write an amazing ebook to tell you how to also change the world or something like that. So anyways, I will be uploading this shortly. Hopefully, it all works for the Patreon folks who are listening to this as it happens and then a month or so down the road when everybody else gets to listen to it. Thanks for listening.

Speaker 1:

And you have any questions about how it works down in Mexico, throw it in the Patreon thing. That's where we'll have the discussions going for now. And then, yeah, we'll go from there. So thanks for listening. Have a great day.

Speaker 1:

Bye.
