Get it Out, Dad!

My son explaining how successful entrepreneurs work with existing resources

My son told me, “Dad, you should just start to crank out Vault-Co episodes with whatever you have right now. Don’t wait until everything is perfect or you have a full studio set up in Appalachia. Those are good things to have but you should just get rolling with what you got. Finish version prototype of VAULT-SYS, release it and keep moving forward from there. Finish your books up, finish your games project. Finish easy things early, like the ‘Almanac’ for 2025 edition. You could be flush with funds by the time you get the Appalachia fortress up and that will help to do it up really nicely.”

It’s cheap, dirty and I wanted pinstripes but it should be good for the first year of episodes at least. Second year it will look as good as an Avengers Hollywood special costume wearable garment.

I respect my son’s judgement. He is not quite as perfectionist as I am and is often more practical. I am always procrastinating for perfect conditions. I am always re-writing and re-architecting.

I thought about it. “You know, I think I could whip a uniform together for the first couple of episodes, green screen in the background and start the episode churn before I bring Appalachia online. Of course I will have a newer, better uniform once I am rolling. I think I have an inexpensive boiler suit that would work I bought a while back.”

My son said, “Exactly, Dad. That’s how really successful entrepreneurs work. They just go with what they got.”

I was kind of excited about it after conceding maybe this was the way to go. “Of course, once I am listed on the Stock Exchange as the largest manufacturer of specialized embedded devices in North America, I will have the money to drop a couple G’s on a real quality custom made uniform.”

I desperately wanted customized weathering and fake aging but maybe the best way to get it for free is to wear it for the first year and stone wash it.

So I think my son was onto something when he was telling me this. I am aiming to have Appalachia fully operational by mid-year after traveling back and forth for a couple months. I have some subcontractors down there who could do a lot of work without even needing me there. I am the only person who knows where the “Special Facility” is so I will tell them to stay in the front part and stay out of the mountain face.

Meanwhile, it’s time to get rolling. I have procrastinated for so long it has come to seem impossible not to re-factor every step forward with two steps back to rewrite the code again. I’m just going to do with what I got. I did a review when returning from the hospital and my mind was blown. I was so close to it I could not see what I had which was perfectly fine as is.

I just had begun to script out the DOOM GEAR special segment with the gigantic radioactive chicken (“Big Bird” of the Apocalypse sidekick) but my son suggested I do DOOM GEAR on my own and could bring the giant mutant chicken in next year. I have an entire box in storage of the coolest DOOM GEAR you could imagine, enough for many episodes. Acquired just this week was the mini ATS-20+ All-Band Radio monitor, which was the coolest $30.00 I ever spent on radio gear. Worldwide radio monitoring powered up in ten minutes on 12 volts.

The first episode will be the illustrious, 50 years in the making, legendary presentation “HOW TO PACK YOUR RICE.” The one that kicked it all off at the beginning before the whole world realized that VAULT-CO was the greatest civil defense show since Bert The Turtle in DUCK AND COVER.

It may not have triple AAA production values but it is still going to be first tier information for preppers.

Paid subscribers will get every episode for free, Founders will get 15 minute episode expansions that are private to them.

I am afraid ITZ COMING now and no force on Earth can stop it. First episode from Appalachia will be a grand gala event but until then you can finally stop waiting for the ball to start rolling.
