A nice sunset from Main St. in Post Tx.. My wife and I stopped in Post as we traveled back home from Ruidoso NM last week.

It's very easy for people to chime in and say what they would do or "money talks" or do it because you love BBQ! You see 10-20 minutes videos. You don't realize I spend over 1000 hours per year on YouTube (on top of working 50-60 work weeks running my main business). In addition, I have spent over $30k of my own money on smokers, lighting, and video gear. Add food, fuel and the cost of an editor (now that I outsourced that), and you start to realize how much of an investment growing a channel is. Most people have never tried to build a business and don't understand the time and money invested behind the scenes. I'm super happy to have helped spread the word about KK and encouraged many to consider the product. The videos aren't going anywhere, I'm sure many more will find them, and they will be just as helpful to new potential fans. The reality is that the numbers don't lie, and I had to make the best business decision for me. You can't trick the algorithm, and I need to keep growing to justify my spending my time and money. I have lost a lot of money each year so far, which doesn't include a price on my time. Even at $20/hour (do you work for $20/hour?), I would have lost more than $60k so far. I'm not complaining, I love it, but you have to understand the numbers and what's involved in saying what I should or shouldn't do. YT is a wide-open platform, give it a go, and I'm sure you'll have a very different option in no time. Dennis, thank you. I appreciate it! We will still be in touch for sure.

Well, I tried the reset routine, but no change. It still turns off in 5 seconds (yes, it is plugged in). It's been plugged in since Saturday morning and is still showing an empty battery, so I am guessing it will go back to the factory today for a new one.
