[0:00]happy Thursday happy Thursday happy
[0:05]Thursday la la la
[0:08]la I'm just entertaining you this
[0:11]morning that's not me I'm not like super
[0:15]like I'm not a singer and that's not so
[0:17]I want to say that's not authentic
[0:19]Behavior like sometimes I might sing a
[0:22]little bit to myself and I did that this
[0:23]morning I thought oh that might be cool
[0:25]to put on camera no idea what those you
[0:28]know that last part is so maybe one of
[0:30]you can tell me because I'm curious
[0:32]that's a birthday song right um
[0:36]well you know Friday is less than 24
[0:38]hours away so I am super
[0:42]excited um I probably won't be able to
[0:44]post you know tomorrow morning cuz I'm
[0:46]going to be super busy getting ready so
[0:49]I've got three things I want to talk
[0:51]about
[0:52]today um the first one is is personal
[0:55]some of you won't care and that's okay
[0:57]you're here to see my adventures and I
[0:59]can't wait to share those with you we're
[1:00]really close to getting to that um but I
[1:04]think some of you will want to get to
[1:05]know me and I just want to be my myself
[1:08]be authentic so um I also kind of think
[1:13]of it as like a Learning Channel I want
[1:16]people to learn from my mistakes I want
[1:19]them to know they're not alone like all
[1:21]of that like that's just who I am that's
[1:23]that's that's that's me
[1:25]so just tolerate that you know maybe
[1:28]skip ahead if you want to and this is
[1:30]about my mouth I'm in a lot of pain this
[1:34]morning what they don't tell you is when
[1:37]you have your teeth pulled out you can
[1:38]still have pain um and sometimes it can
[1:41]be really bad it can be really sharp
[1:43]pain it can be a radiating
[1:47]pain and it can just ruin your whole day
[1:49]because you know what a toothache feels
[1:51]like and and like most people I think
[1:53]would describe that as the worst kind of
[1:55]pain they've ever
[1:57]experienced um and it is in my
[2:03]opinion
[2:06]today like so I've had this ongoing
[2:09]issue for a long time where sometimes
[2:10]this area just starts radiating pain and
[2:14]it gets stronger and stronger and
[2:16]stronger until it just starts radiating
[2:18]up my head up into you know and it it
[2:21]just gets real bad I've had quite a few
[2:25]different places look at that they say
[2:28]there's nothing there you have no nerve
[2:30]endings there there's you know they've
[2:32]done x-rays there's nothing there
[2:34]something's there you know or this
[2:36]wouldn't be happening to me something
[2:39]and it hurts so bad um but you know they
[2:43]say the nerve endings are back here I
[2:44]didn't know that I just assumed they
[2:46]were all around your mouth where your
[2:49]where your teeth are but well they would
[2:52]have gotten rid of those when they
[2:53]pulled my teeth out but maybe a little
[2:56]bit of a nerve got left behind I mean
[2:57]how did they know unless they exploring
[2:59]and I just really wish I could do
[3:01]something about it but they all tell me
[3:03]there's nothing to be done just live
[3:05]with
[3:06]it which is a horrible thing and you
[3:08]need to know that because if you ever in
[3:11]and if you
[3:13]ever end up in a situation like I'm in
[3:17]you're going to deal with that for the
[3:18]rest of your life um and I'm also
[3:21]feeling pain up here sometimes it's
[3:22]called referred pain where you're
[3:24]feeling pain is not really where it's
[3:26]coming from it's it's interesting so
[3:30]the pain down here could be referring
[3:32]pain up here I don't know how that works
[3:35]but that's what they call it but I think
[3:37]this is related to my implant I'm a
[3:39]little bit concerned about that because
[3:42]I hope it's not a sign of rejection
[3:44]because if it is and I I don't even know
[3:46]what they would do
[3:47]like um so that there's that's what I
[3:51]want to talk about it's to encourage
[3:54]others um to learn from my mistakes and
[3:58]just to be my authentic self and share
[3:59]my my experiences with
[4:01]you um
[4:04]I didn't have to pull all of my bottom
[4:07]teeth out that might shock some of you
[4:10]guys most of my problems were wor the
[4:13]top of my mouth and I dealt with it for
[4:16]years and years and years I could never
[4:18]get ahead of the problem I spent a
[4:19]fortune could never get ahead of the
[4:22]problem and then when I I noticed my
[4:24]bottom teeth were starting to get bad I
[4:27]thought to myself
[4:30]and this is the biggest mistake I have
[4:32]made in my entire life I thought to
[4:35]myself well I don't want to go through
[4:36]that again you know I'm not going to get
[4:39]ahead of the problem I might as well
[4:42]just get them all pulled out and get
[4:44]implants and I did that because I
[4:46]misunderstood what implants were when I
[4:48]hear the word
[4:49]implant I'm
[4:51]picturing new teeth being implanted in
[4:54]into my gums you know and that's what I
[4:57]what I thought happens but it isn't so
[5:00]what happens
[5:02]is they put some steel rods in your
[5:05]mouth and Dentures sit on top of them so
[5:08]you're just getting dentures that sit on
[5:10]top of some steel plates or
[5:14]whatever and if I had realized if I
[5:17]known that I wouldn't have done it I
[5:19]would have tried to save my bottom teeth
[5:21]cuz they you know I really believe I
[5:23]could
[5:24]have so hopefully you know maybe someone
[5:27]out there might learn from this
[5:30]you definitely cuz you once they get to
[5:34]a certain point you're going to have
[5:36]pain for the rest of your
[5:39]life nothing it's just that's going to
[5:42]become a part of your life
[5:46]forever okay so second I'm just going to
[5:49]talk about the finance guy so
[5:52]tomorrow I'm going to have to sit down
[5:54]with the finance guy and and um sign the
[5:58]paperwork he's he's been pressuring me
[6:01]not a lot I I
[6:04]think because he does keep saying you
[6:07]know like he says I know about your
[6:10]previous experiences I'm not trying to
[6:12]pressure you I just think these things
[6:14]are
[6:15]important but you know he's a as weird
[6:18]he's the finance guy but he sounds kind
[6:20]of like a
[6:22]salesperson and he's making me feel like
[6:26]I'm making a mistake if I decline these
[6:28]things and I've learned a lot from this
[6:31]so last night I posted on Facebook about
[6:34]this and I said look there's two things
[6:36]the finance guy wants me to get I wanted
[6:38]to just say no to everything and he's
[6:41]pretty much convinced me that if I don't
[6:43]get these two things from him then I'm
[6:46]just an idiot and so I I said can you
[6:49]share your experiences with me what do
[6:51]you think and these are the two things
[6:53]Gap coverage for a used vehicle of
[6:57]2018 which I thought Gap cover coverage
[6:59]was sort of a scam or maybe only
[7:02]applicable
[7:04]to new vehicles and so when I'm like why
[7:07]on a used vehicle that's strange and the
[7:11]way he justifies it
[7:15]is uh if you're in an accident and it's
[7:17]a total loss Insurance might not cover
[7:20]the entire
[7:21]cost I'm buying it for what it's worth
[7:24]right now
[7:26]I could sell it for what I paid paid for
[7:30]what I'm paying for I really am a great
[7:33]deal I got a great
[7:35]deal um so what other people had to say
[7:38]about that was you Gap coverage is
[7:40]actually really important
[7:43]and um because think of it this way
[7:45]you're taking out a
[7:47]loan um you're mostly going to be paying
[7:49]interest in the beginning so the
[7:50]depreciation even though it's used will
[7:53]keep happening and you'll just you'll be
[7:56]a little bit underwater um
[8:00]and so they won't cover that and you'll
[8:02]be responsible for
[8:03]it makes a lot of
[8:06]sense but I learned something very
[8:08]interesting you do not have to get Gap
[8:10]coverage from them you can get it from
[8:12]your insurance company for a couple
[8:14]bucks a month can you believe that that
[8:17]they don't tell you that I mean there's
[8:19]obvious why they don't tell you but
[8:21]they're counting on us not knowing that
[8:24]so I emailed and I did go with the
[8:29]insurance agent from the
[8:31]dealership probably not a good idea guys
[8:34]don't do that because she didn't tell me
[8:37]because she knows that the finance guy
[8:39]is going to try offering it to me and
[8:42]it's probably a couple thousand dollar
[8:44]you know I
[8:48]just a little bit upset about him tell
[8:50]yeah I am so I a out her and I said look
[8:53]I've learned this thing please get this
[8:55]added to my
[8:56]coverage I don't see how she she has
[8:59]asked to I got Progressive I like she's
[9:01]just my agent and she has to do what I
[9:04]asked her to I
[9:05]think
[9:07]um and then the second
[9:10]thing is a warranty on all the stuff
[9:13]that's on the coach side they had two
[9:14]warranties you could do the drivetrain
[9:18]and the coach and I told him I didn't
[9:22]want my payment like it's already high
[9:24]it's 775 if I put more down on it I'll
[9:27]be at 750
[9:29]or 7:25 I'm trying to get it as slow as
[9:32]I
[9:34]can um no I think it's at 750 right now
[9:37]and I'm trying to get it down to 7:25 so
[9:41]and that just to me that just feels
[9:43]safer I don't know my life's going to
[9:45]look like in a year 5 years 3 months and
[9:48]I
[9:50]just I want to be cautious about this
[9:54]so so
[9:58]anyways I just explained that to him and
[10:01]he said okay let me talk to my general
[10:03]manager and then he gets back to me and
[10:05]he says okay we've got it down to where
[10:07]it's under
[10:08]$800 and we can cover you with gap ins
[10:12]Gap coverage and a warranty on the coach
[10:15]side but not the driver train and so he
[10:18]thinks that I'm going to do do those two
[10:20]things because I did agree to him to do
[10:22]that I don't have to when I go in
[10:24]tomorrow I can just tell them to take
[10:25]them off and I'm going to do that just
[10:27]so you know um because the advice I got
[10:30]from other people was these warranties
[10:32]really are useless they find any reason
[10:34]they can to deny the claims if you
[10:37]really want a warranty shop around
[10:39]outside of the
[10:41]dealership
[10:43]um I mean that just feels difficult to
[10:46]me because how are you who can you
[10:47]really trust
[10:50]and and then think about what does it
[10:54]cover you know and is it worth it
[10:57]because maybe you can repair it yourself
[10:59]maybe you can replace it and it's not
[11:01]too expensive the biggest thing for some
[11:04]people one is the fridge if they have a
[11:06]nice fridge I don't so I don't that's
[11:08]not that's for
[11:09]me and the slides if the slides break I
[11:13]mean that's probably really
[11:15]expensive in my case I think what I will
[11:17]do is just try to put that money aside
[11:19]in case it
[11:21]happens um because if I even though it's
[11:25]only going up 25 a
[11:27]month over the the course of my loan
[11:30]which is 20 years that's
[11:32]$66,000 not counting the interest so
[11:37]that's a really bad deal I really
[11:40]believe that with these Finance guys you
[11:42]should just say no to everything because
[11:44]they're making money off of you that
[11:46]way so you can't trust them to give you
[11:50]honest
[11:51]advice so that's where I am with that
[11:54]and
[11:56]then the last thing it's the drive home
[12:05]tomorrow um it's 9 in the morning guys I
[12:09]got up at 8 um hopefully I'll get up
[12:11]even ear I have to be up earlier
[12:12]tomorrow but I'm loving this that I'm
[12:14]actually been waking up early this whole
[12:17]week but like I said I have the sort of
[12:19]cyclical thing that happens with me I
[12:22]have a medication for it called ramelan
[12:24]I love it because chat GPT is the one
[12:26]that found it for me my doctor had never
[12:28]heard of it
[12:29]and it has it it really works for me as
[12:32]long as I take that when I want to go to
[12:34]bed it's not going to make you sleepy or
[12:36]anything like that
[12:38]but I can't explain it
[12:41]it it works it works really well for
[12:44]me um so I'm trying to stay on top of
[12:47]that because I love that I'm waking up
[12:49]so early I think when I'm on the road
[12:52]I'm just will naturally cuz I do when
[12:55]I'm camping and stuff like that you
[12:57]just it's like you're you're more in
[12:59]sync with the world it it's just a
[13:02]different lifestyle it's just a
[13:04]healthier
[13:05]lifestyle so
[13:07]anyway um the drive
[13:09]home I don't know if you guys know this
[13:12]or not but I'm anxious about that I'm a
[13:16]little bit afraid
[13:18]because you you go to a dealership you
[13:21]buy an RV and then without any training
[13:24]whatsoever you drive it home which to me
[13:28]that's crazy
[13:30]um but lots of people do it so I guess I
[13:34]should be able
[13:35]to um it's 4 hours
[13:39]away sorry guys something it's 4 hours
[13:45]away
[13:46]um well it's 4 hours to drive there and
[13:49]it's like longer to drive back cuz I'm
[13:51]only going to drive like 55 maybe even
[13:53]50 I don't know we'll
[13:55]see so it might take like 5 hours or
[13:58]even and six cuz we'll stop like to get
[14:00]gas and stuff like that and that's going
[14:02]to be a whole
[14:03]experience um so I have a game plan and
[14:09]so first of all my dad's coming with me
[14:12]we're going to take these very cool
[14:14]walkie-talkies he'll on the way back
[14:16]he'll drive my Jeep I'll be in the
[14:18]RV he'll be behind me um and with the
[14:22]walkie Takis like just for added peace
[14:25]of mind I can say all right is it clear
[14:27]for me to get in the next Lane over to
[14:30]the left
[14:32]because so I think most of this will be
[14:35]easy but where I bought it
[14:39]from there are a whole bunch of
[14:41]interstates that are connecting with
[14:43]each other there and I have to merge on
[14:45]the right and then I have to merge on
[14:46]the left and then I have to you know
[14:49]like it's just it's just a mad Scramble
[14:52]for a couple of miles and that's what
[14:53]I'm most worried about honestly cuz I
[14:56]have it was it was stressful in my Jeep
[14:59]so can only imagine in a
[15:02]camper so I'll have that and I think
[15:04]that that's going to help a lot um and I
[15:08]made this list last night I'm just going
[15:10]to share it with you things to do at the
[15:12]dealership when I get there
[15:15]tomorrow adjust the mirrors put tape on
[15:17]the
[15:18]windshield um if you guys aren't
[15:20]familiar with that concept you just you
[15:21]put a little piece of tape on your
[15:23]windshield that lines up with the lines
[15:25]on the road that way you always know
[15:28]you're in your lane like to me that's
[15:30]like
[15:31]awesome um install the dash cam the GPS
[15:35]and the GoPro
[15:37]maybe um I'll I'll actually talk about
[15:40]that in a minute uh install the tire
[15:42]pressure monitoring system guys I
[15:44]installed the one on my Jeep um
[15:46]yesterday and I wanted to share that
[15:48]with you I put the GoPro on my head I
[15:51]went out there and I did it myself
[15:52]having never done anything like this in
[15:54]my life I was so proud of myself cuz it
[15:56]worked perfectly I wanted wanted to
[15:58]share that with you but the GoPro was
[16:00]like facing this way like straight and
[16:03]you couldn't see me I'm looking down and
[16:06]I'm you know reading instructions and
[16:08]I'm putting stuff in my tires and I'm
[16:10]looking at the engine and you can't see
[16:12]any of that I was so disappointed so
[16:16]fortunately I couldn't share that
[16:17]experience with
[16:19]you um but maybe tomorrow I'll be able
[16:22]to
[16:23]because this stuff I can record I have
[16:27]to be super focused when I drive home
[16:29]like I even just pressing a button on my
[16:31]GoPro might
[16:33]be I mean we'll see how it goes but I
[16:36]you know Safety First everything safety
[16:38]first for me um practice driving in
[16:42]their parking lot of course you know I'm
[16:45]going to try a bunch I'm going to take
[16:46]my cones with me um and with my dad and
[16:49]the walkie-talkies we probably will do a
[16:51]pretty good job of setting up different
[16:53]scenarios and just you know
[16:56]practicing um test all the appliances
[16:59]the air conditioning and the heat I once
[17:02]bought a jeep that did not come with air
[17:04]conditioning uh I just assumed all
[17:06]modern vehicles had them and discovered
[17:08]they don't I was so shocked and so my
[17:12]last Jeep the one before this one it's
[17:14]one of the reasons I hated it because it
[17:16]was like I just felt like I had gotten
[17:18]screwed on that one um and the heat
[17:22]didn't work like all kinds of problems
[17:24]and then so yeah I'm going to test those
[17:26]things you learn from your experience is
[17:28]right uh exall expanded mirrors so I
[17:32]bought some that'll be here today and
[17:34]they just expand the range on your
[17:36]mirrors so see here's my biggest fear my
[17:39]biggest fear is sideswiping someone I
[17:42]feel like I can I can do most of this
[17:44]very easily I'm not worried about a lot
[17:46]of it I'm worried about hurting someone
[17:49]I'm worried about sideswiping someone
[17:51]because when I got my truck in December
[17:54]huge truck
[17:57]um 2500 HD I mean some of you will know
[18:01]what that is it's like super big I was
[18:04]like whoa that is the biggest truck I've
[18:07]ever seen in my life it goes above my
[18:09]head like I mean this thing is
[18:11]huge and I almost sideswiped someone I
[18:14]didn't see them um that scared me and I
[18:17]was like okay at that point I'm getting
[18:18]a Jeep again cuz I just love jeeps and I
[18:22]don't know have to worry about that but
[18:23]now I'm buying a camper so I'm like in
[18:25]that situation again so anything it will
[18:28]make that easier for me I know I have
[18:30]cameras on the side but they Point
[18:33]outward like from the the camper they're
[18:38]not on the mirror so they're not looking
[18:40]backwards you know towards that lane
[18:42]which I really wish they did I feel like
[18:43]that would be way better they just point
[18:46]straight away from you
[18:49]perpendicular so is it showing me the
[18:51]whole side of the camper I just don't
[18:53]know it really makes me a little bit
[18:55]nervous
[18:56]and of course use your me mirrors but
[18:59]things are so small in those mirrors if
[19:02]it's raining it's harder to see in those
[19:03]mirrors like all of that like so I'm
[19:06]getting expanded mirrors I hope that
[19:08]helps me a lot um test water you know so
[19:11]test all the water turn the sink on turn
[19:13]the shower on maybe you know flush the
[19:16]toilet all of that and check for leaks
[19:19]afterwards uh climb on top of the camper
[19:21]and you guys should know that I'm
[19:22]deathly afraid of heights like just
[19:24]deathly afraid of heights um and there's
[19:27]probably a reason for that I don't mean
[19:29]to get you know keep getting sidetracked
[19:31]but I just want to share this with you
[19:32]when I was
[19:33]younger I was at a carnival and there
[19:37]was this ride that took you like
[19:39]straight up and you know little kind of
[19:42]cabin it wasn't a ferris wheel it was
[19:44]something different it just it took you
[19:45]straight up and did whatever and I was
[19:51]like it had to be before the middle of
[19:54]fourth grade because that's when we
[19:55]moved from Michigan and this happened
[19:57]then
[19:59]I got stuck with a woman who was older
[20:01]than me and she
[20:03]was not a lot older like a teenager
[20:07]she held me outside of that thing by my
[20:13]arms held me outside of that thing and
[20:17]just was laughing her just just laughing
[20:21]that memory has stuck with me my whole
[20:23]life I was scared to death and
[20:28]I think that's why I'm afraid of
[20:31]fights
[20:33]um so anyways I'm going to have to climb
[20:36]up on top of the camper um and check the
[20:39]seals um test the awning cuz we didn't
[20:42]do that forgot to basically check the
[20:44]doors and the door and the drawers so
[20:47]just make sure everything shuts
[20:50]well um test moving the side in and out
[20:54]you know just do that a couple times
[20:56]check the condition of the couch B cuz I
[20:58]didn't do that I don't even know what it
[20:59]looks like take pictures and measure the
[21:02]hitch on the RV so the point of that is
[21:07]I need to find out when I go to take my
[21:09]Jeep and have the towing gear
[21:12]installed um if the hitch is up too high
[21:16]they have to put something on it I don't
[21:18]remember what that's called but they put
[21:19]something on it that drops it down so
[21:22]that you can connect to that
[21:25]instead that way you're just just a
[21:27]better
[21:28]better Driving Experience so that's my
[21:32]list a lot of this is
[21:35]about feeling comfortable and safe on my
[21:37]drive
[21:38]home
[21:41]um and I think it's a pretty good game
[21:43]plan you guys can tell me what you think
[21:45]maybe there's some things you would add
[21:46]to it I'd love to hear it I've got less
[21:48]than 24 hours so
[21:51]um I think it's going to go well I'm I'm
[21:54]not too nervous I'm ex I'm way too
[21:57]excited to be nervous right now like uh
[21:59]I probably won't be posting in the
[22:01]morning because I'll just be way too
[22:02]busy getting ready I will post at the
[22:07]dealership um and this is what I was
[22:09]thinking and I'll post at the gas
[22:11]station cuz that'll be my first
[22:12]experience at like a trucker stop and
[22:15]putting gas in a diesel like I just
[22:18]think that will be fun just a fun
[22:19]experience with my dad
[22:23]and on my drive I probably will not do
[22:27]anything thing just be focused and but
[22:30]if I can you know um install my GoPro
[22:34]the way that I want to might be easy
[22:37]might not it just depends Safety First
[22:40]it'll just depend so that's
[22:43]everything um guys I am so excited we
