  1. I firmly believe it should always rain at night with sunshine during the day!

  2. Desert is also very dusty. I like the desert but not all the dust!

  3. The benefit of short hair! Have a great day Scott.

  4. I know what you mean. My late husband and I moved into the MH in 2004. I can't even remember what is was like to live in a 'sticks and bricks'.

  5. Your way seems more practical and safer

  6. I know of others that are also having youtube doing weird things to their channel.

  7. Ask Home Depot if there is a Habitat Humanity Restore around. They will probably take the wood.

  8. we hit 98 in the tri-cities. thankfully we are heading down to the 70s and 80s

  9. A year ago they built a coffee roasting company about 1/2 mile away from me. They moved out of their garage in a nearby town to a regular business building. Today the wind was blowing from the NE while they were roasting their coffee beans so the smell blew up my way. I don't like coffee or the smell of it but it was not too bad.

  10. In Oregon there is a project to remove non-native grasses along the coast which might be what they did. Nothing beats the beauty of the west coast ocean.

  11. you are so creative when cooking

  12. I watch Lulu's Way. She has a promaster city. She took out the passenger seat so the foot of her bed is there. Can't believe it opens up the van including lots of storage.

  13. Since the company knows the engines are defective they should replace the engines
    4
  14. Back in the 70s when we lived in Burien White Center was considered where a lot of Mexicans lived. Then West Seattle upper income. So it doesn't surprise me. What about a vent on the side of the van, maybe the door near the floor? Maybe you need to head over to the Olympic Peninsula to some of your fav places there.

  15. I enjoy most all your videos

  16. Solar is still mostly 'greek' to me but slowly making more senes. I love Pita chips. They have cinnamon sugar Pita chips but the only place I could ever find them was Whole Foods - of course none of those stores near me.

  17. I grew up in a family of 7, number 5 in line. Same feelings when following siblings - teachers compare you to your older siblings. It was a small school so we all knew each other. We are a society that likes to compare people to others. You are unique which is nice.

  18. It is colder than normal all over the country. I watch a person in San Diego that complains it is cold.

  19. Looks like you might be spending part or all of the summer on the Olympic Penn again. Last year you stopped at some beautiful places.

  20. Those product review emails mark them as spam, unsubscribe and/or block. Can you do up an email you can send to most thanking them for their email, really appreciate them, thanks for watching my channel but due to the volume of emails I read but do not have time to respond to all - or something like that?
    3
  21. I see nothing wrong with the way you do things and showing it. The correct way is what works for you.
    3
  22. Glad you have found your happy lifestyle. When you change rigs moving from one to another is not fun and can be a real headache!

  23. The deer know when it is hunting season so head to safe places this time of year. Actually for most people if they eat foods that cause gas enough their system will adjust to the food and not create all the gas. I like to take papaya enzymes because if you do get gas it doesn't smell! Just thinking of how boring it must have been when they were there to keep watch for the Japanese but they never showed up.
    3
  24. Have you ever cooked the frozen veggies in the rice cooker? It says you can steam veggies in it but not tried it yet.
    3
  25. Also the side you sleep on will often come out different, at least for me it does
    3
  26. Were you talking about the bunkers in Salt Creek County Park west of Port Angeles? They built these bunkers after Japan bombed our west coast. One place was near Santa Barbara, another near Ft Stevens in Oregon. The bunkers at Salt Creek was to watch in case Japan tried entering through the straits
    3
  27. I agree on the mountain. Mt Adams is behind Mt St Helens. You would see St Helens and Mt Rainier before Mt Adams. And as others said, if you are looking towards Seattle most likely Mt. Baker. Have you visited Salt Creek County Park west of Port Angeles? They have bunkers there that were built right after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor to protect Japan from coming into the sound. They never did have to use them. The fall we were volunteers there at the park we saw a sub surface and the coast guard approach it.

  28. I was watching a video one day. The van dweller found if she parks under a parking lot light at night it will charge her battery. Have you tried that?
    3
  29. the right vehicle is out there for you. Will be praying your current one last until you find it. Drinking decaf - have you noticed any difference you how you feel not having all that caffeine?
    3
  30. Get a usb pump to get the water up there. Or you can get a manual siphon pump like used for fish tanks. 8lb per gallon they say.
    3
  31. Love the haircut.
    3
  32. Yep and happens more often as I get older. Like others said, the sinus are very sensitive. I usually will take a couple ibuprofen and chlortabs (buy at Walmart). If the coffee helped it is probably the warmth/steam from the coffee that helped soothe them.
    3
  33. What are eggs going for around there? They were down to $2.50 here Quartzsite last summer, now are over $7.00. I watch youtuber Ana's Adventures. Like you she puts Yellow Bird on much of her food.
    3
  34. I have premium. I watch enough videos and movies making it worth it to me. If you ever see Cosmic Crisp apples, try one. They keep for a long time and is slow to turn brown when cut open.
    3
  35. Drink however much coffee you want. I drink diet pepsi which they say you should not. It is something I enjoy. Another reason for dogs to be on leash is to keep them from attacking each other.

  36. We lived in Burien in the 70s. Use to love taking the bus into town going to Seattle Center when it was still more like it was during the world's fair, Pike Place and the waterfront. None of it looked familiar, not even Pike Place. I use to love to go downstairs where there is a tea shop. I don't drink tea but loved the smells that came out of it.
    3
  37. "an average 12-ounce (354-ml) cup of coffee containing 180 mg of caffeine would have about 5.4 mg of caffeine in a decaffeinated state." I get that to come out you would need to drink 33 cups of decaf to equal 1 cup of regular. Another site said 5-10 cups decaf to 1 cup regular. Take your pick!!!

  38. So happy that you now have a vehicle to go visit with family. Very happy you are spending time with your grandma.

  39. |Great video. you are doing what is right for you.

  40. glad you did not have to pay for it. Catalytic converters are not cheap.

  41. Yes, nylon has a habit of pulling apart where sewn. Not to mention it can cause many of us to sweat more. Hope the wranglers work out.
    2
  42. Know what you mean. Last year I was evicted from the park I had been in for 10 years when new owner put the 10 year rule in. I came to AZ for winter. Was hanging out with 2 women on BLM . They have summer plans including going places in their minivans whereI can't with my motorhome. So I am trying to find peace on my own. Not easy after 50 years of marriage.
    2
  43.  @StaticCamperVan  i wasn't the only one. 2/3 of the park had to leave. Half to laugh because now it sits over half empty.

  44. If you hold the kettle up higher then by the time the water gets to the press the stream is narrower.
    2
  45. ​@StaticCamperVan not really. In Quartzsite and only low to mid 30s.
    2
  46. Your hair looks good - and at the right price!
    2
  47. Aren't you glad you are not allergic to coffee? That would be absolutely horrible.
    2
  48. When you pay for the shower I see no problem taking as long as you want.
    2
  49. Didn't like them on you at first but the more I watched the video the better looking you got in them. Good choice. They always try to talk me into progressive lenses but your clear vision is in the center. With lined glasses my clear field of vision is much wider. I don't mind the lines. You know bold and dark frames are in now. I usually got light colored but this time I went with black that I call my 'geeky' glasses. Love them. My late husband wore that same style frame for years.
    2
  50. Your hair looks fine to me. I am not picky like many of the women I know. My late husband was the one who cared about his looks where this country girl could care less.
    2
  51. I usually shop Winco which is often cheaper than Walmart especially on groceries.
    2
  52.  @StaticCamperVan  lol they must be city folks. Growing up in the country on a farm with a big family the outhouse is where we often went to since the house only had one bathroom. Plus, years in Girl Scouts and camping as an adult. Many think having to empty my black tank in the motorhome is gross but I have been doing it for so long never think about that.

  53. May 2025 see you with a new van that meets your needs. Also, better health in 2025. I don't drink coffee but love your expertise on the subject. You do fine - I enjoy your style and personality you show.

  54. I am in Quartzsite. I went to the "market" where they sell dented cans and array of other stuff. They had yellow bird blue agave sriracha and the habanero 9.8 oz for $2.00. I bought the blue agave - knew habanero would be too hot. Came home and used on my burritos. Different but not bad. But will continue using it. Will have to check back later to see if they get different flavors in.
    2
  55. One has to be happy and at peace with their choice and you are. Thanks for the video.
    2
  56. back in the 70s there use to be a lot of Weyerhaeuser land that you could camp on for free we would go to. Don't know if it is still available or not. I agree with Grocery Outlet - never know what odd thing you will find. White River maybe because it is white from all the pumice in it
    2
  57. I think you can get stuff to re-enforce the waterproofing. I have a down coat that has lost lots of feathers but still keeps me warm
    2
  58. Forgot to add - happy you found a couple good decaf coffees you like.
    2
  59. As a teenager friends put blue lights in their chicken coops because the chickens can't see in blue light. It made it easier to catch them when it was time for 'chicken picken' which was catching the chickens to head to the slaughter house.

  60. As a native Oregonian, but haven't lived in the state since 2003, you are the first and only one I have heard N. CA referred to as part of the PNW. All my 71 year PNW is Oregon, Washington, Idaho and British Columbia. Thanks for your definition of the PNW.
    2
  61.  @StaticCamperVan  I was watching a show on TV. I guess the ghost of Pike Place Market she haunts the floor the tea shop is on.

  62. When my son was about 4 I was cutting the dogs and he said he wanted one to. I asked him how short so showed him a picture of my brother with a butch. He said that short. So for all his growing up years he got in line with the dogs to get it cut. At 46 he still wears it short but he calls it his Marine corp cut. Keep in mind that birds and other animals collect fur and hair to build nest with. So if you are not around a populated area let your air blow with the wind to be recycled by nature.

  63. Look like crab pots.

  64. Brookings is considered the 'banana belt' of Oregon (just like Sequim is in WA). My late husband and I worked the winter at an RV park in Harbor back in 2005/6. Expensive place to live but loved it there. Harbor does not like to be called part of Brookings as you found out. A migraine is caused when the blood vessels in the brain contract which is why heat is best. I use to lay in a hot tub of water with my head under water just my nose sticking out to breath.

  66. Really enjoyed this video.

  67. Such a blessing that you found a doctor that was willing to dig to find what was causing your problems. Not eating out saves a lot of money. Also, so thankful coffee was not on the 'no no' menu!
    1
  68. I don't drink coffee so it is all 'greek' to me. I know you love your coffee so happy you found some good ones.
    1
  69. Maybe I missed it, but do you still have the old van and/or where are you storing the things that have not found a home in your new van yet?

  70. Newport can be snooty. If you are not spending money they really seem to not want the tourist. Thors Well is cool. WA coast is OK but nothing beats the Oregon Coastline.
    1
  71. The company I worked for in the 70s moved from downtown Seattle to Bellevue. Bellevue had the reputation as the city for wealthy snobs! The office complex the company moved to included one of the first pickleball courts in the country

  72. If you got a piece of window tint or buy a small piece, you could stick that over the screen but still see what it says. Sounds like that is a 'solar generator' without the battery. I think you need to head over to the Olympic Peninsula for cooler weather.
    1
  73. I have a 20# tank I use instead of my onboard tank. Problem is when it is cold it won't give gas. Once the sun warms the tank up it is fine. Maybe I need to try to empty it then purge it.

  74. you are always talking of sour dough bread. Here in Quartzsite I have tried different brands, even the ones labeled authentic San Francisco' sour dough but they didn't taste like sour dough. Last week one of the little stores had a different brand marked down to $1.99. Tried it and it was so good. Didn't last long! Great news about your cooler. I love cold cheese sandwiches with mayo.
    1
  75. Thanks for the review. You are not the first review on the brand I have seen that have all been positive.

  76. Pickleball is similar to tennis but use a smaller paddle.
    1
  77. looks good to me

  78. Happy for you Scott. I run toyo on my motorhome. Are you going to be able to have that vent in the floor (I think I remember you having one that helped keep condensation down)
    1
  79. Seattle might as well be the capital of the state since they control what goes on in Olympia. You can always go back when you need a 'friend' fix. I don't mind that bridge in a car but hate it in a class A. I dislike the one you cross at Long View into Oregon. I heard a guy is going to buy the 'Goonies' house there in Astoria for $1.7 million (or something like that) and says he will make sure it will be there for fans to drive by to see.

  80. Need to say Puyallup then people will want to know how to pronounce it!! Last time a few years ago we visited friends in Graham the traffic was horrible. Coming from a small town now it doesn't take much to be horrible. Drove up to our old house in Covington was horrified how they have built up and destroyed the area.

  81. When I saw 'dead battery' I thought first the one you just replaced went dead on you.
    1
  82. I could never figure the words but you said it: it is my dirt so it doesn't bother me. Might add - my mess, too.
    1
  83. have you tried those emersion heating elements to heat the water vs using the burner?
    1
  84. In time it will be the way you want it.

  85. How's your new lights working out?
    1
  86. I couldn't figure out the background noise then finally read the title: rainy day !!
    1
  87. You say you are not good at electrical but seem you like challenges. Did you send it back or make it work?
    1
  88. I think it means during the day you can only park max 4 hrs. After 6 ni limit is how i read it. Can always ask the city.
    1
  89. Not sure how long ago this was done but looked Poulsbo weather for the next week - nice 70s. Stay over there. Gas here in the Tri-Cities is still over $4.30 although I did see one today at $4.29 but most are still in the $4.50 range.

  90.  @StaticCamperVan  If you ever decide a nice drive with lots of nice hiking would be to go over the North Cascade Highway down to Winthrop to Wenatchee area. If you want to avoid desert continue on highway 97 south where you could cross back over the Cascades on highway 12. Otherwise a nice drive is 97 north through Omak then take WA 20 across to Spokane. Or you could go from Omak to Grand Coulee Dam.

  91. Things that should not be in dryers, I take out half way through when the clothes are still damp so the delicate things don't get so hot. People actually get upset if you talk toilet? Good grief. They are probably ones that would never use one in a van. Hats - I am like you, I hate wearing hats. Makes me feel pinned in!
    1
  92. I bet after they took the Elwha dam out it changed the look of the river. There are wildfires still burning in BC. A good year to do Washington since Jan 1 the gas tax is increasing 46 cents a gallon.
    1
  93. There is a company that make covers for each specific vehicle windows. Might be something to save up for.
    1
  94.  @StaticCamperVan  I know how you love your coffee. I am glad you found a decaf that you like almost as much.
    1
  95. so sorry. You are not the only ones out there that have to post after they leave an area. Your safety and peace of mind is much more important than knowing where you are at the moment.

  96. for me corn tortilla are grainy and do not taste good. I have learned to cook pasta in the microwave starting with cold water - just enough to cook it.
    1
  97. @StaticCamperVan  yes one of my interesting and physically challenging jobs as a teenager.! We had to carry 2 chickens in each hand at a time and started around 11pm after they were settled on for the night. Not a clean job, but we were kids who went to school together, so had a fun time.
    1
  98. That was my thought when I saw it, too. 😅
    1
  99.  @StaticCamperVan  great price
    1
  100.  @StaticCamperVan  did you like them?
    1
  101. I buy bags of dehydrated refried beans at Chef's Store - use to be cash and carry. Each bag makes 1/2 gallon but I only make a1/3 to a 1/2 bag at a time. I learned about them when I use to do the cooking at the old Rax Restaurant. I can't stand the canned refried beans - looks like dog food!
    1
  102. Wow this old video showed up in the feed. Was good to hear. Fear of breaking down in my MH is what keeps me from taking off now that my husband has died. Thanks for the video.
    1
  103. That dampness in the NW seems colder at 20 than when it is low humidity at 20.
    1
  104.  @StaticCamperVan  yep and the best remedy other than son is a warm wood fire.
    1
  105. just go buy readers since you don't wear them that often. I would love to but I have a stigmatism that means they won't work for me. You could have gone over and walked the Green River Trail. When we lived in Covington my daughter and I use to ride our bikes down the hill then ride along the Green River Trail.

  106. Could be salt content in the soy sauce. I am sensitive to salt so buy low sodium. Next time you get the soy sauce you like compare the sodium content
    1
  107. Was trying to figure out where you were - thanks for telling. Lived in Burien for a number of years but never made it into West Seattle. The water taxi must be something new since we left the area in 1992. I'm with you - I like cheese sandwich. Also, tomato sandwich. Are cargo pants that popular now? I have not seen them in the store (Walmart) in a long time. Might have to check thrift stores.
