    My 2¢... I like the mustache, even liked the goatee. After Covid and the flu, it takes a while to get back on your feet.Take it easy and take care of yourself, Brent. ❤

    💓 .. your a champ Brent . I’m so sorry for all your health stuff going on. Earth is healing just remember to get the rest needed too. You’ time without that camera. Brent zen time. 😌 Perhaps give binaural beats a try when winding down. Much love to you and pup. Keep that head up ok.
    📝 Do what you feel is right. Regarding your previous video If it’s stix and bricks go for it. Follow your intuition, you can always still take weekend adventures.
    Praying for you. You’ll figure things out and your gonna be ok~❤

    Definitely younger w/o the mustache. I love watching the Dude. I watch you fighting this sickness. I had it a month plus, cough included. Found only Fishermen Wharf cough drops worked with only one puffer used for my COPD. Problem for me is that I could not take a break. My hubby is confined to a wheelchair. Read an article that there is an increased push of pneumonia. Depression and SAD is tough when you are not well. I wish the best. Keep your head up. Thankyou for the wonderful videos.

    There is something to be said about this time of year...darker days, less sunshine, and the reflection that inevitably comes at this time of the year. I'm glad you are listening to your body. Learning when to rest is not giving in or giving up, it's the ultimate self-care. Looking forward to more adventures.
