Extended Pause
🕑 Added 2021-02-04 20:15:53 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Just a quick note to thank all of you for hanging in there while I sort out stuff on my end. I've been busy working on more than a half dozen projects but not seeming to get anywhere near completing any of them. But I have invested in some new hardware to make live streaming from the actual Lab possible, which I have not been able to do before, so there is that - and also I am upgrading my music recording area so hopefully I can be more productive in the audio department this year also.
11 months in solitary lockdown has taken its toll on me for sure - I'm running on fumes for motivation - but there are so many videos I have cued up to do on the calendar. I'm just trying to get myself together to produce the level of content that all the FranLab viewers have come to expect, and that is getting harder for me to do these days. I'm doing my best to keep the health up and dream of things to come, and I am glad that all of you are hanging in there and being patient while I get it together.
You're The Best!!!!!

Keep the ibuprofen, Vitamin-D and Vitamin-C up, dump the rest. And for goodness sake, tell me before you see a 'doctor'.
Hi Fran, totally get the whole mood of this post. When my motivation flags, I lean on routine and habit. Wish you the best. :)
What's going on Fran?

Hi Fran, 11 months is a long time to be disconnected from your normal life so hope you are okay. Look forward to a video or two when you are ready.
Fran Blanche
Working on that....

You never know when you'll need them.

You are not alone in having a dry well for motivation.
Anton
It comes when it comes, and always fascinating stuff. No rush for videos, look after no1, YOU!
No, you're the best! Stay healthy and take care, we'll be here. <3
John McCormick
For a while you were posting so often I was shocked. I think a breather is only fitting!
Glad you're okay Fran. It's a good thing you're doing and chilling. Take care.
Jessica McIntosh
Take care of yourself Fran. I’m not going anywhere. 💜

Holy shit, Fran. I've been counting on you to be the strong one. You have not in any way let me down, no way, but I seemed to have been ping-ponging some of my energy off of your posts. That's all on me, not you. Take whatever time and space you need, and I'll be here for whatever drops, whenever it happens. You are one of my favorite people, and I want you to be OK. That's the priority, no matter what it takes.
Hang in there. We're here when you are.
Robin Clizbe
We'll be here!

Health is the primary concern, running ragged is painful to see. Please take care, many of us are moving rather slow after close to a year of isolation.
Jac Goudsmit
Thanks for the update. Hang in there Fran!
Daniel Welsh
Be well! Glad I found your channel last year.
Doug Perrenoud
You're doing great, don't worry about us, we are just glad that you are safe and doing your best.
Jason Thorpe
Hang in there, Fran! We've got your back!
No problem dearest Fran. If there is anything we can do for you, just say so. Best wishes from the frozen mountains of Norway.

Take as much time as you need! Recharge!
Elizabeth Walter
Fran-Please take care of yourself. I can always watch old FranLab videos to get my fix. :)
William Alsing
No problem.
William E Lee
Most important is that you stay healthy.
David Peaker
I hope to be around here for as long as you are making videos, and I'm sure most other patrons feel the same. More music would be fantastic!
Dr Andy Hill
Take as long as you need Fran, I'd rather have a delayed Fran than a burnt out never to be seen again one. I'm lucky my particular type of mental abberation reacts well to solitary confinement contact with only the people i want to, virtual communications and teleworking. You take care and above all STAY SAFE. 😊❤
Phil in the kitchen
We'll still be here Fran - playing a game of "spot the object" ...1) Mack's Earplugs, 2) a Drill, 3) ...is that a pair of bolt cutters?
Nicholas Wilson
We’ll be here. 😊
Pete Cervasio
I'm not going anywhere, so take as long as you need to get stuff situated.
Not a problem at all. As long as you include a 'rant' session now and again in the future!
Joshua A.C. Newman
We all feel that! Don’t overestimate the value we put on your production values, though. If you just throw some shit together, it’s still gonna be great! We just want to see what you’re up to!
Tim
Hang in there. I’ve been feeling the funk as well.
Inventor Pardue
You are doing great, Fran! Thanks for the update, hang in there.
