I first discovered your videos sometime around 2011. I was about 18 or 19 at the time and just really enjoyed listening to you talk. You have a tranquil, pragmatic way of rationalizing and processing your emotions and the things going on in your life. Your talks are so concise, and filled with so much substance and practicality. I confess I don’t follow your videos regularly, but every few years I will remember you and seek out your KZbin channel, and I’m always so happy to see that you still upload and that you’re still well. I don’t know, I guess I relate to you a lot and just find some sort of comfort in listening to you talk. After over a decade , coming back to your channel every few years really feels like coming back and catching up with an old friend. For whatever reason I just felt compelled to write this. Anyway, Earl, so glad to see you doing well even after going through some rough times. I wish you all the continued happiness and success in the world. Cheers, my friend.

Hey E! I'd love to work towards having an indomitable spirit too, doing things that scare us and build good character. I like the idea to strive to be self reliant as well, owning property would be a level up for me. Your delta vids are great fun to rewatch! It felt like you were simply living the life of riley.. hot coffee, happy doggo, reading good books and sharing life stories ^_^

Sup M! Indomitable spirit I think its about balancing and embracing the good and bad in life. sometimes avoiding the bad I feel might prevent you from being ready for hard times. Its something I have been thinking about lately. My Delta vids for me are interesting because despite what it might seem like, that I was sharing my life on the internet, I was actually not talking about the actual things that were going on for me. Im re watching those videos now myself and talking outloud about what my life was like at that moment. its really helpful to help figure out who I am and why I am who I am. I am SO glad I filmed myself over the last decade or more. I think the pay off is just now starting to happen. So good to see you my friend.

G'day Earl, Yay Team ! I'm glad you're onto all these things, rather than gritting teeth and swearing everything to be fine. Have you been keeping up with my Videos covering my daughter's Cat, SkittyKitty ? 3 months ago he was diagnosed with terminal Mouth Cancer, and last week was a year since they finished cooking my head so hard the Mouth Cancer died - so we're a good pair (!). As long as he's eating, and drinking, walking, continent, and purring ; then he's announcing his willingness to Keep on Keeping on... I'm buying a Talaria Sting (L1e), Registerable Electric Motorbike, 2.5 Kw/Hr Battery & a 6 Kw Motor - Throttle - limited to 3.5 Kw for 45 Km/Hr...; And 500 Amp/Hours of 24 Volt Storage, with 600 Watts of 24 Volt Panels & Charge Controller/Inverter to recharge the Bike Battery... And that setup will also charge the eChainsaw, eBrushcutter & eLeafblower... And not only but also... For $3,600 extra I can buy an eMotorbike Battery, a spare Motor & Speed-Controller...; with which to Electrify My Second Hairygoplane. Which I have not Yet Commenced to Rebuild .. Since it broke my foot in 1992, When it's Petrol Engine Failed to pull us up Over the Downwind Fence Some halfwit was trying to Levitate Over... It may become a case between Holding $5,000 in reserve to have myself burried with afterwards, Or Blowing that on Flying the First Solar Electric Ultralight Motorglider... And using the Bike's Regenerative Braking, a flightplan involving Electric Takeoff & Climbout to 1,000 or 1,500 ft, stopping the Motor - braking the Propeller to cut Drag & thermalling up to 5,000 or 10,000 ft..., before releasing the Propeller to turn, and diving back to Base - using Regenerative Braking from the Windmilling Propeller to recharge the bloody Flattery... Ready for the next Solar Thermo/Electric Fright, unto Ye Wild Blue YONDER...! Och-Aye... Enjoy... Such is life, Have a good one. Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

I'm still here. You forgot about Reet Geeb pal. That is hurtful.

You should make a Molt Liquor video and feel better about what life throws at you. Losing is part of life that we must deal with in our own way. Take your time to heal and dont let other tell you how to deal with the negitives. You know when you should move along. Hang tight and malt on.

[@bikemessenger7]

Thank you Brother, I know you are right.
