Where on Earth has SirCork gone? (A quick witness and project update about my lack of recent witness and project updates on my witness and the YouAreHOPE Foundation.)

Hey Again, Steemitizens!
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know I'm still alive!
I realize I am behind on releasing a new Witness Update Report and some more news on the exciting campaigns being run to feed, clothe and shoe the poor homeless people of Venezuela, feed malnourished children in the Philippines and to provide much needed school supplies to the wonderful village school children in Nigeria.
All those things are still happening!

But in the mean time, in between time...
I am moving, from North Carolina to Virginia, a grand total of about 400 miles away from where I live now in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
Yep, and I'm solo in life, so I'm doing it all on my own, by myself. From 17 acres off grid on a homestead farm, to an apartment in a city. With two needy, older dogs to tend to in the middle of it all, and TONS of work to do, to get it all stored, moved or sold or trashed or whatever.
All for the good of a business I am a founding partner in, off of steem, out in the real world of Fortune 50 Enterprises and Federal Defense Contractors and things it is better to be closer to Washington D.C. for than where I reside currently.
Let that sink in. Downsizing 17 acre farm -> apartment in the city. Alone, by myself, solo. Truck loads loaded and unloaded.
My. Unexercised. Nerd. Body. Hurts. Right. Now.
I have my work cut out for me.
But I'll keep the homefires burning, and the witness and YouAreHOPE (YAH) work will not suffer.

From a witness perspective, the server is humming along at only about 20% over all utilization, and never stops, falters, or goes down. Zero missed blocks. Specs available in previous witness updates. It's all good in the hood!
I am in the mid 80s,at 85 at the time of this publication, effectively at 77 if you take out the dead witnesses above me not processing blocks anymore, with some slight up and down shifts in position as people adjust their SP behind votes.
Overall, I'm pleased to be in the 80s as a solo witness no longer with senior PAL/MSP roles to prop up my visibility, and so I am SUPER grateful to all you voters who still see the substance and choose to vote for the witness who only came here to do some good in the world.
No real change in voters of note, a few small additional voters taken on. I need a power hitter to lift me up, who cares about my project, I suppose. Meh, it's all going to be 100% invested into @YouAreHOPE efforts anyway if I ever make any witness income.
YouAreHOPE brings Help, Opportunity, Purpose & Empowerment to disadvantaged people worldwide via our Agents of HOPE who deliver food, water, clothing & more with the help of our generous community & the borderless power of the STEEM cryptocurrency.

In fact, I've got the new live part-time so far, and bot backfilled with replays in between, 24/7/365 live audio and video broadcasting network built, and it's in testing, running well so far for 3 days without fail, TheYAHcasT Broadcast Network is coming.
Stream us on Youtube Live, Twitch.tv, Stream.Me, Twitter Periscope, VLC, via rtmp players, on our Website or listen in from inside the brand new and yet to be publicized YouAreHOPE Discord Chat Server.
( https://discord.gg/zkTeKeS )
And yes, that chat server does have a live audience chat room so you can interact with the broadcast show hosts during their shows!
And
I'LL BE BACK SOON! Watch for me to become much more productive and prolific after the first of November when I'm settled somewhat into my next new home in Richmond, Virginia.
Your's In Service,

Hi there.. posted this today.. https://steemit.com/witness-category/@rival/question-to-all-witnesses-opinion-on-the-witness-fundraising-fund
didn't know of your project.. I remove it if you want. Or if you think you agree on this project we could take your project as goal.
Wow I just saw what you did and that is fantastic. Thank you! Ive been out all day. Ill be back to my computer shortly and give some love to your post. Thanks for recognizing YouAreHope!
Good to catch an update. Hope it is all progressing as smooothly as it can.
Aye, and I've relocated back to Virginia, where I once upon a time was sprouted, and grown for 30 years or so before meandering around the country for a bit. Heh,never thought I'd ever be back here.
Ahhh so thats where youve been. Been trying to find you and have jow resorted to stalking on discord.
Good luck with the move. I hope it all goes well 👌
You won't find me in PAL lol - But you know that now that we spoke. You'll never see me cross their threshold again.
Imagine my foot in mouth moment when I spoke to you. 😱😁
Best of luck with the move. YAH.
Good luck with everything @sircork. May you be blessed abundantly in order for your charity project to grow.

Safe travels, if I don't bump into you before then.
I'm around for the bumpin' into :)

Well, North Cackalacky will miss you.
Ahhhh...it's never better to be close to the swamp, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
I gotta agree with ya. On both points!
Good luck!! Hope the dogs adjust well to the new life also.
