I'm quite sure I won't.
But I'll report back if I do.

No doubt it is a closely guarded formula.  

All you can do is just keep producing the videos and hope for the best.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-18 12:25
Now that I have zero pain while doing the physical therapy it is almost fun.  Good thing is I've met some interesting characters at the physical therapy center.

Did you use to go to the gym before the accident?

That is my plan.
So far so good.
Quite a step up again (I hope everything is updated now on their server and it does not jump back....)

Montfrooij Posted at 4-18 23:20

No I gave up the gym because I get a better overall workout with swimming and scuba diving.  Up until the broken clavicle I swam daily and went diving 3-4 times a week.

Hopefully, it will not "jump back".

Had a little scare at my physical therapy appointment this morning.  I was on the rowing machine and he had turned up the resistance on the oars.  As I pulled back hard the right oar snapped off.  Appeared some bolts and nuts had come loose.  I heard a snap in my shoulder but no pain.  The Physical Therapist was worried that I may have re-injured the clavicle so he insisted I get an x-ray.  Fortunately, the x-ray showed a well healed clavicle.

Pays to keep a positive mental attitude (PMA).

Oh no.
That would have been a lot of steps backwards.

Too bad.
Today a big jump backwards.
But indeed, I'll keep positive.

I'm hoping that streaming several different of your YT videos at the same time is counting.  If the YT system recognizes the same ISP address for multiple streams it may not be giving you credit.  I think I'll experiment and just stream one video at a time now instead of 3-4.  

Montfrooij Posted at 4-20 03:48
Oh no.
That would have been a lot of steps backwards.

Indeed it would have been, especially since I'm down to my last 6 days of physical therapy.  I'm definitely motivated to work hard those last 6 days to complete a 100% rehab (all strength back plus full range of motion).

So before I turn 42, you should be done

I think they have some kind of intelligence in place here.
Since they need to keep their numbers 'true' for the advertisement selling value.
It looks like they do deduct some hours every day, since the sum of 'yesterday -366 days ago' does not match the change in watch hours.
So my assumption is that they somehow remove 'invalid' watch hours.
But I did see effects from my own watching, at least so it seemed.
(on different accounts that was).
It's a mystery so far, but I do feel it helps a little so
Thanks.
15h up, 5h back. this day. (they first add the new hours, then deduct something which I don't always get)
So 10h in total.
I'm not complaining.
325 more to go

My last day of physical therapy is the day before your birthday.  I'm getting excited as the last day approaches.

Both for you and my birthday.

Yes it is quite the mystery on YT's process.

Just had a bad thunderstorm pass Heerde.
And the kids were on the fair.......
Luckily all went well, they were just wet and scared.

Montfrooij Posted at 4-21 03:45
It is.

That's great news.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-21 12:02
That's great news.

Yeah, I'm probably publishing one day earlier (tomorrow) because I'll be on the last gig before summer this Sunday.

I've been through many a rainstorm onboard ship and ashore but it's the thunderstorms that always bother me.  I can empathize with the kids on that.  

Montfrooij Posted at 4-21 12:03

Summer sure came around fast here or at least it seems that way.  Wishing you the best on your Gig.

Yeah, we were a bit worried so to say.

Yeah, it flies.

Montfrooij Posted at 4-21 12:40

Rightfully so.  We had 2 sailors get struck by lightning on the base and it was catastrophic.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-21 12:56

Yeah, especially on the water.

Montfrooij Posted at 4-21 12:40

Yeah, I remember seeing a saying on a coffee cup once time.  It said something like "Time waits on nobody".

Montfrooij Posted at 4-21 12:58
Yeah, especially on the water.

On the carrier we used to always secure flight operations and get everybody off the flight deck when we got near inclement weather, especially heavy thunderstorms.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 4-21 13:03

That must be impressive being out there in the open.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We only have today. Let us begin.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

Montfrooij Posted at 4-22 01:21

It is hard to explain.  It really let's you know how big the earth is and how alone you are at times.  Standing on the hangar bay and looking out at the ocean waves and nothing to see but water for iles and miles and nothing else in sight.

The cool thing about an aircraft carrier is you are a small floating city with a crew of about 4,000 that must be able to do all and repair all as their is no repairman or parts house nearby.  The cooks really have to get the food supplies planned out perfectly to keep from running out of food.  Making it even harder is you only have so much storage space for food stuff and in particular for refrigerated or frozen items.  Yes, we do get ice cream on the ships.

I have watched some series about carriers. Amazingly well designed.
