Greetings everyone. Before I launch into my weekly monologue can I please

remind you to check out my Patreon.com site and not just to check it out but to

join it it's by signing up and joining and

partner with some cash that you make a meaningful demonstration of support for

the channel and everything I try to do here. It costs about the price of a cup of coffee every month,

but in return you get early access to all my new content and you get exclusive access to a super fun

question and answer session with me every week.

It's great, I promise you.

So join up, stir yourself into the mix

and help make it even better by being there.
