Today's Notes 12/11/20

Good afternoon everybody,

First up, Happy Birthday to my pops... and while I tried to avoid talking about the election, he brought it up, so ya'll can guess at how awkward that went. Still he's doing well and considering we haven't spoken directly or indirectly in several months, it was nice chatting to him for a bit. I did find it amusing when he said he can't come to New Jersey even if he wanted too, blaming Governor Phil Murphy and quarantining requirements, only to then ask if I caught Covid-19 and sound completely relieved when I told him I've been working from home since the pandemic hit.

Shaved off the mess that one would call a beard in preparation for tomorrow's Twitch Sings stream, and the total of tunes still sits at 3,146. So with less than 24 hours to go, looks like everything is set for a Sinatra-esq stream! Now is there I away I can wear a fedora and headphones at the same time... probably not... anyway, not sure if I'll go with a tie or not because I don't have a white button shirt, but either way we'll have fun. I really should look up to see what songs Sinatra covered in his career that are in the game cause I know there was stuff he did that was done by other performers

Finally had snow on my Island in Animal Crossing, and it is really nice seeing the change in the seasons within the context of that game.Keeping in mind, my island has a lot of trees on it, so it looks pretty cool.  I do wonder who will end up replacing Biff on my island...

Of course I did a Fitness Boxing stream today as well, solid workout, even had one set that purely perfect! And if you know anything about motion controls and such, you know doing anything totally perfect is very rare. So I was pretty fired up for that when it happened. Funny thing is I could've had two perfect sets out of the three done today.... ah well.

Last night's stream of The Division 2 was of course a co-op stream with PowerThumbz and FNDanteSavage with Iceman7667 being the fourth member of the crew. We finished the first manhunt and then went about doing Hunter things. It was a real scramble to join in as I finished work and had to get everything set up within a couple of minuets so they weren't waiting too long for me. There was a great a moment when Thumbz was ranting about a guide he found listing a phone as a walkie talkie, which lead to me asking where the walkie talkie is... needless to say Thumbz 'Oh for fucks sake' response had me laughing pretty damn hard.

Not completely sure what we'll be doing for tonight's stream yet, but we'll come up with something, and on that bombshell, we'll see you over on twitch.tv/fredcasden at about 9:30 PM EST
