<div class=text-justify>
So after flying over to the coast in my carcopter, I landed in a remote section near this cove into an inland beach, and decided to go for a walk to see if I could get down to the beach below; but alas, there was no way I could climb down since I left all of my climbing gear at home in my boatcopter. That's kind of sad, isn't it? If I  only had two bodies!!!
Hahahaha!
</div>
<br>

<div class=text-justify>
But I did have the foresight to grab a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, a lawn chair, and a soda to provide the task of caloric intake to keep the ol' body going. A little food for the stomach and all that!
<br>
<br>

So we just kicked back in that lawn chair with my easel (oh, I forgot to mention I brought my easel hahaha oops!) and so I just thought I would just relax and attempt to draw what I was looking at. Unfortunately I was having a really hard time, the wind was whispering in my ear and that chicken filled me up, so I just said, "Gougan, do it to it," and it did! It created the perfect shot of what I was looking at!

So I rested up there for most of the afternoon, and when the sun was becoming obscured by the fog, I decided it was time to pack it in and head back home.

<div class=pull-left>
Assim, depois de cavalgar até a costa em meu carcóptero, aterrissei em uma seção remota perto dessa entrada de uma praia interior e decidi dar uma caminhada para ver se conseguia descer até a praia abaixo; mas, infelizmente, não havia como descer, já que deixei todo o meu equipamento de escalada em casa no meu barco-helicóptero. Isso é meio triste, não é? Se eu tivesse apenas dois corpos !!! Hahahaha!
</div>
<br>

<div class=text-justify>
Mas eu tive a precaução de pegar um balde de Kentucky Fried Chicken, uma espreguiçadeira e um refrigerante para fornecer a tarefa de ingestão calórica para manter o velho corpo funcionando. Um pouco de comida para o estômago e tudo mais!
</div>
<br>

<div class=text-justify>
Então, apenas relaxamos naquela cadeira de jardim com meu cavalete (ah, esqueci de mencionar que trouxe meu cavalete hahaha oops!) E então pensei em apenas relaxar e tentar desenhar o que estava olhando. Infelizmente eu estava passando por um momento muito difícil, o vento estava sussurrando em meu ouvido e aquele frango me encheu, então eu apenas disse: "Gougan, faça isso," e funcionou! Me criou a foto perfeita do que eu estava olhando!
</div
<br>

Então, descansei lá durante a maior parte da tarde e, quando o sol estava ficando obscurecido pela névoa, decidi que era hora de fazer as malas e voltar para casa.

# So this is how I made this:

<center>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jamerussell/5MqWWYin-image.png</center>

I drew this out and didn't like it, so I deleted it. I must have done that 4 times, and didn't care much for the results, there is some learning curve to this, and these are basically the first times that I have used Gougan.

But AI is extremely interesting, and the final picture I came out with is with two different finishes, and I liked this one the best. The other one had more sun in it, but this left a little fog on the horizon, and having lived in Santa Cruz for 25 years on the California coast, I was used to that fog coming in. I miss living there. 

So that is my story and I'm sticking to it!

<div class=text-justify>
Eu tirei e não gostei, então joguei fora. Devo ter feito isso 4 vezes e não me importei muito com os resultados, há alguma curva de aprendizado nisso, e essas são basicamente as primeiras vezes que usei o Gougan.
</div>
<br>

<div class=text-justify>
Mas a IA é extremamente interessante, e a imagem final que tirei é com dois acabamentos diferentes, e eu gostei mais deste. O outro tinha mais sol, mas isso deixou um pouco de neblina no horizonte, e por ter morado em Santa Cruz por 25 anos no litoral da Califórnia, estava acostumada com aquela neblina chegando. Tenho saudades de morar lá.
</div>
<br>
Então essa é a minha história e estou aderindo a ela!

Now you remember I said that the chicken filled me up, right? I had to leave some there, so if you know where this cove is, there is a 1/2 bucket of chicken and 1/2 a soda there for the taking lol! I did take my easel with me though!

Agora você lembra que eu disse que o frango me encheu, certo? Tive que deixar um pouco lá, então se você sabe onde fica essa enseada, tem 1/2 balde de frango e 1/2 refrigerante lá para levar rsrs. Eu levei meu cavalete comigo!
