Yes, yes, it is mid February and this is only the first post of 2026. That and I still have not re-posted the articles from the previous site. *cries in procrastination*

With that said, progress is progress, huh? Huh!? What progress you say? Well I finally setup a Ko-Fi and a Buy Me A Coffee. For those of you that have been asking me on the streaming side of the house, “Mr. Mastic, how can we donate?” I finally got around to it after four years or so.

I had been going back and forth on whether I should even do this; you know how I feel about it monetization. But I needed to set these up in order to participate in the gig economy anyway. So yeah, now you can donate, if you want. There is no obligation to do so. I do what I do for the love of the hobby, but sometimes the requests are financially prohibitive and thus I cannot really oblige those requests. The Mrs. and Mr. Mastic Show runs on a budget of chewing gum, cat walks, and 300 mile an hour (1.467 football fields a second) tape. Information should be free and I will never paywall what I know. So if feel the urge to donate, go for it. If not, don’t. I am just happy to be here and I appreciate you all for listening to the grumblings of a computer janitor recovering from burnout.
