- 4:53Fire attempted a 1018. There's a road in Beach closures
- 4:57scheduled. Usually you know if they're
- 5:00going to do a set of fire test, the beach is close to its really
- 5:04close. Like I've been there so many
- 5:08times. I've been down to the beach and
- 5:10you can literally like if if you're looking at the beach,
- 5:12this way, it's at the end of Highway for and literally you
- 5:15could just keep driving down Highway 4 and you'll end up in
- 5:18the water like right through the beach right into the water.
- 5:21It's right there. And you can like if you go like
- 5:24this, all you have to do is go like this and it's a couple
- 5:26hundred yards behind you, like maybe a mile.
- 5:28I think it's probably a mile behind me, but it's right there.
- 5:32So they closed the beach on purpose, because they don't want
- 5:35anybody down there to get hurt basically.
- 5:38So the beach is closed, the alert, notice States space test
- 5:43activities from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. okay?
- 5:47So that means they want everybody out of their homes, at
- 5:514:00 anybody. That's nearby, get them out of
- 5:54there. Close off that road, get
- 5:58everybody out of the beach and then they can close the row. 25
- 6:01it continue testing because sometimes it's like it takes
- 6:05hours for them to set up because the first hour this road
- 6:09closure, the kind of like Scoot and people away getting people
- 6:13out of their trucks are leaving people on the beach.
- 6:16They have to go find people down at the beach at the time.
- 6:19Hey man, is a road closure coming up.
- 6:21You can't even be here. You can't fish anymore.
- 6:23You can't go swimming with your kids in the in the water anyway.
- 6:26The more you have to leave. And, of course, there are signs
- 6:29at the beginning of Highway for big, big side, like those road
- 6:33construction signs that, you know, those Blinky ones that
- 6:38tell you, when the road closures are so, if you missed that, then
- 6:41you're like, you don't even know what's going on.
- 6:44Like if you're not paying attention to that sign,
- 6:45sometimes it's hard to see with the Sun as you're turning left
- 6:48onto their turn to right under there.
- 6:49If it's straight ahead, it's fine.
- 6:51Right down Boca Chica Boulevard. It's fine.
- 6:54You can see it plain, as day. If you're turning from the left
- 6:57or the right, it's hard to see that sign sometimes because
- 6:59you're paying attention to the road.
- 7:01So some people might not even know and they have together
- 7:04those people and get them out of there.
- 7:06Now between 4 p.m. 1 a.m. that's different from the 5 p.m. to
- 7:12midnight. Static fire, road closure, that
- 7:16SpaceX and Cameron County came to a deal on.
- 7:20So it's going to be it's going to be hopefully a static fire
- 7:24tonight. It looks like they're gearing up
- 7:25for it. So in the ramp it up for us, so
- 7:27I'll try to bring you that maybe the old school way that we used
- 7:30to do it here until I get my modem in the mail so that should
- 7:35be sometime this week. I'm they said Thursday, but you
- 7:38never know. Yeah, so yeah.
- 7:42Let's check it out. Now I have another thing that
- 7:45this is a funny one. This is the one that was talking
- 7:46about before. Elon Musk tweeted.

- 7:56Musk news here, he tweeted this, thanks little buddy rabbit

- 8:01This guy and he's holding onto a rocket. in the Dogecoin
- 8:06Community, got a hold of this tweet and they were like, this
- 8:11is about us, this is about us going to the moon and if you if
- 8:17you track any sort of cryptocurrency Dogecoin had a
- 8:21little rise today, it could be due to this tweet but I think
- 8:25this tweet is about when hop So let me know what you think when
- 8:32hop, you know, that's what the the hashtag one hop wwen wwen h0
- 8:37P basically means when a Starship going to fly.
