[0:00]good morning humans I just woke up I
[0:03]don't have anything to drink so I'm
[0:04]going to the store I just came
[0:07]outside I guess the Labor Day crowd has
[0:09]already started it's Thursday and we've
[0:11]got two neighbor two neighbors
[0:14]already I'm thinking this might be the
[0:17]busiest I've ever seen the park or any
[0:20]park like literally every camp site is
[0:24]is booked so it's going to be a full
[0:27]house
[0:28]here yeah and I can't do anything about
[0:31]it so I might as well embrace it you
[0:33]know maybe we will go and just look
[0:37]around at all the different campsites
[0:39]and just get a feel for the vibe that's
[0:43]going on this
[0:45]weekend on Monday Labor Day I'll be at a
[0:50]cottage here
[0:52]because my RV has to go into the shop so
[0:55]I booked a cottage for 3 Days starting
[0:58]Monday
[1:00]uh it goes in Tuesday morning so I'll
[1:02]get everything ready on Labor
[1:04]Day and then Tuesday morning we'll drive
[1:06]it down
[1:08]there and hopefully I'll get it back
[1:13]Wednesday I guess it might be Thursday
[1:16]but that's you know I'll check out on
[1:17]Thursday that at the cottage so
[1:19]hopefully everything's fixed by
[1:21]that so we have a lot going on today I'm
[1:25]going to first I'm going to head down to
[1:28]the showers
[1:30]uh yesterday threw off my whole day
[1:32]right so um I'm going to get down there
[1:34]and then I'm going to work on the some
[1:38]stuff at the RV I um I want to do
[1:41]something to the storage base they're
[1:43]not organized I feel like I'm less
[1:45]likely to do those things when there's a
[1:48]big crowd
[1:49]here cuz I don't you know I don't like
[1:52]crowds I don't
[1:54]like um cuz they take out mental space
[1:57]in my brain like I have to be aware of
[2:00]of every I'm aware of everything so if
[2:02]there are people all around me then I'm
[2:05]taking in that input and there's nothing
[2:08]I can do about that not a thing I can
[2:10]block out put my headphones in and you
[2:13]know kind of create my own mental space
[2:15]that's why that works so well for
[2:18]me um but you know I still know they're
[2:22]out there and they're observing me and I
[2:25]just it's not a a state that I like
[2:29]experiencing
[2:31]um I know that lots of people don't seem
[2:33]to have as much of a problem with that
[2:35]but I definitely do like I have
[2:38]neighbors now who are near my picnic
[2:40]bench I don't want to sit out there KN
[2:43]they could be watching me from inside
[2:45]their RV like that's not an enjoyable
[2:48]experience for me at all so we're going
[2:51]to try to adapt this weekend though
[2:54]because you know after this things
[2:58]should really quiet down and and
[3:00]hopefully
[3:02]being very pleasant I'm looking forward
[3:04]to that let's take a walk around my Loop
[3:08]and see what we're contending with this
[3:09]weekend shall we might be fun so here I
[3:15]am this is me I actually want to get
[3:18]some shots here because I have some
[3:20]ideas
[3:21]for um some changes to my
[3:25]channel been working on you'll see some
[3:28]of them today I think
[3:30]which are pretty
[3:33]fun so let's just start with
[3:36]some camera angles on my Jeep and RV
[3:40]letics everywhere
[3:42]because we have to live in a cave in
[3:45]this
[3:46]heat it's also part of RV
[3:49]life my beautiful red
[3:53]Jeep M's in there
[3:58]somewhere so we're
[4:02]here on this side of um the loop those
[4:06]are all pretty much I mean they're not
[4:08]it's tent camping that's where I started
[4:10]out my first day from my
[4:13]RV um so we'll probably see some RVs
[4:16]there but you know it's generally best
[4:17]for tent
[4:18]camping and then you've got some RVs on
[4:22]this side and that's my Loop okay so
[4:24]it's not a very difficult it's not a
[4:27]complicated Loop
[4:30]so behind me 8:29 to
[4:38]992
[4:40]um just curious when people are showing
[4:45]up
[4:48]8:30 it's some across next to me is 8:29
[4:52]so that's must to be today I have to
[4:54]check the DAT I don't know the thing
[5:00]these people are hooked up they even
[5:02]have one of those portable tank
[5:08]things I think they're here till 92 I
[5:16]start so this is the last one this is
[5:19]when I was trying to
[5:21]get but you know they're booked up every
[5:25]day they're here till 98 they come on
[5:28]the 30th so tomorrow let me check the
[5:32]date yep today's the 29th okay so
[5:36]they're coming
[5:39]tomorrow actually we won't learn
[5:41]anything from this side cuz all the all
[5:44]the signs are this way so let's just
[5:46]walk down the
[5:51]loop that's where
[5:53]the I just love that little meeting area
[5:56]over there it's so cool to me
[6:03]it's Pleasant so far this
[6:06]morning but it's going to be hot it's
[6:08]going to be way in the high 90s again
[6:12]so it starts cooling down after that but
[6:16]slowly it won't be next week before we
[6:18]get back into the
[6:20]80s so I'm looking forward to
[6:23]that this is some serious
[6:26]heat when um you know I'm getting better
[6:29]at this so next year we won't be here
[6:32]this time of year it's just too
[6:34]hot we'll be somewhere else I'm trying
[6:38]to um adjust my appointment with the
[6:40]dentist so I don't have to stay here
[6:42]another 6 weeks I'm ready to go I called
[6:44]them this morning and told them waiting
[6:46]to hear from
[6:48]them I don't think it's very nice of
[6:50]them they make me wait 6 weeks when I
[6:52]only should have to wait
[6:54]two you know not being very
[6:57]accommodating so next to me tomorrow
[7:00]8:30 to
[7:02]9:30 and over
[7:05]here 8:30 to
[7:10]92 I mean they're all going to be pretty
[7:12]much the same
[7:14]but just curious 8:30 to 9:2 definitely
[7:19]everybody's coming for Labor Day right
[7:22]8:30 to
[7:23]9:2 it's kind of it's kind of
[7:25]fascinating really it's kind of
[7:27]interesting to me 8:30 92
[7:31]again um
[7:33]everybody's you know coming to enjoy
[7:35]Labor Day here which that's pretty
[7:38]cool I actually think that's
[7:41]awesome um same deal for both of these
[7:44]well someone's coming today for this one
[7:46]for 87 that's a nice spot actually never
[7:50]really noticed how nice that one
[7:52]is
[7:55]so let's see here there's a couple more
[7:58]and then there's a tent camper she's
[7:59]been down there for a while 392 so we're
[8:02]just going to turn around before we get
[8:03]to her give her her privacy
[8:05]and go on about our
[8:08]day so yeah we got people
[8:11]everywhere it's going to be
[8:14]busy this is kind of a nice sight too
[8:18]really they never really notice these
[8:21]ones they're coming on 8:31 so until
[8:25]9:3 couple days from now that's a nice
[8:28]sight though
[8:29]that is actually pretty decent
[8:32]site there's a spot for your Jeep and
[8:36]you know my little camper could fit
[8:37]there
[8:39]easily
[8:41]so
[8:47]yeah I think I would want to embrace
[8:50]this even more if I didn't have so much
[8:52]I needed to do I just I have so much
[8:55]work to do on this RV
[8:59]um that's going to be my focus this
[9:02]weekend
[9:04]so this to me is we are approaching the
[9:07]end of my
[9:09]time in Kentucky
[9:12]and where do I want to say
[9:24]this I'm ready to finally
[9:29]do the things I set out to do when I
[9:32]made the choice to get this Arvy that
[9:35]means truly embracing this life going
[9:38]you know traveling different states
[9:40]seeing different things I'm ready to
[9:44]go um but you know I got some practical
[9:47]things I have to do first
[9:49]and I'm going to have to do them this
[9:51]weekend I don't think we'll do a whole
[9:52]lot of hiking because I really need to
[9:55]make myself focus on this so that we're
[9:57]ready so that we can do this
[10:01]I am super excited to I finally feel
[10:04]like I just feel ready to to go you know
[10:08]my tires are
[10:09]fixed I do feel I feel a lot better
[10:12]about those tires
[10:14]now um we're going to get a bunch of
[10:16]problems fixed this um next
[10:20]week we'll spend a couple days in um
[10:22]myage that'll be fun it'll just be a fun
[10:26]experience um but H you know I'm ready
[10:30]to go I'm sitting over here because just
[10:33]don't want other people in my mental
[10:34]space I won't be out here when they're
[10:36]all out here it's just not fun for
[10:39]me um for me having to I
[10:46]like selective
[10:48]engagement I like to decide when I
[10:51]interact with people and if I'm out here
[10:54]you know lots of people just take that
[10:57]as an invitation to just start talking
[10:59]to you and disrupting whatever it is
[11:01]you're
[11:02]doing and I
[11:06]just really don't want that
[11:10]so it's going to be a struggle this this
[11:13]is going to be a struggle this weekend
[11:15]but I'm going to do my best to just make
[11:18]the absolute best of it everybody's
[11:20]going to be out here having a good
[11:22]time you know and I'm not here to ruin
[11:24]that I
[11:26]just um prefer Solitude I prefer to be
[11:29]on my
[11:31]own but we'll do what we you know we'll
[11:34]do our best we
[11:38]will be social I guess I might as well
[11:42]show you just how bad it's gotten I've
[11:45]been eaten up again by mosquitoes the
[11:47]day that I saw those deer I had put on
[11:50]lotion an insect repellent lotion before
[11:53]going out and I still got eaten so bad
[11:56]they're all over my legs
[12:00]so you know not very comfortable theyve
[12:03]gotten up here there are my arms
[12:07]like it's just that's the most
[12:10]unbearable aspect I need to get down to
[12:12]the showers and put on something like an
[12:16]anti-itch cream or something
[12:18]and
[12:20]um we're going to keep working on that
[12:23]in fact I did get some hiking clothes I
[12:25]need to spray those with I think it's
[12:27]called perine or something like that
[12:30]um which is supposed to help but you
[12:31]know the exposed areas of your skin you
[12:34]need a lotion or a spray
[12:37]and um it was very hot though so I was
[12:39]sweating a lot I might have just sweat
[12:41]out the whatever IID put on like almost
[12:44]almost instantly there cuz it was almost
[12:46]100° so we're going to work on that
[12:50]because I don't want to keep getting
[12:52]eaten up like this not
[12:57]fun I am really looking forward to
[12:59]Autumn but we have we have good six
[13:02]weeks to go I think before we start to
[13:05]see a decrease in those populations
[13:08]and we need some strategies some new
[13:12]some new systems because I want to be
[13:14]out there
[13:16]hiking without dealing with this so so
[13:20]let's figure out what we're wearing
[13:22]today let just go for my white socks
[13:25]first I don't know why but it is a
[13:26]pattern I have hi Bailey
[13:30]um blue
[13:33]underwear so we want a blue
[13:37][Music]
[13:39]shorts and a blue
[13:42]shirt pretty dark I should get some more
[13:45]lights on in here guess we'll just wear
[13:48]this one though I do wear basic colors
[13:50]and stuff like that no I want to wear my
[13:53]Natural Bridge shirt those two go
[13:56]together so we'll put these in my shower
[14:00]bag
[14:03]um yeah I'm going to have to get more
[14:05]lights I mean we got that's the only
[14:07]window that doesn't have reflecti on it
[14:09]this morning like I just took that off
[14:10]this
[14:11]morning um they've all they're all I
[14:15]mean it's a it's a prison in here so
[14:18]it's just us in here so I can show you
[14:20]what we're dealing
[14:22]with yeah I got the doors right here I
[14:25]don't use this side of course but
[14:29]kind of wonder if I've been thinking
[14:31]like doing some task in front of a big
[14:34]mirror like that might be there might be
[14:37]some advantage to that so but the
[14:40]showers are over here all the doors are
[14:43]broken and you don't have great um hot
[14:47]water you got to let run for a minute
[14:48]you have to turn it on all the way so
[14:51]you don't really get a choice to set the
[14:53]hot
[14:54]water where you
[14:56]want you just got to accept whatever it
[14:58]is
[15:00]is
[15:02]um
[15:05]honestly there's a lot I love about this
[15:07]park a lot this is the one thing that I
[15:10]feel like they're failing on like truly
[15:12]failing
[15:14]because it's better everywhere else that
[15:17]I've been so but you know you make it do
[15:20]and that's part of this lifestyle you
[15:22]just um I guess you have to tolerate
[15:24]some things adapt and accept
[15:31]see my RV over there my
[15:34]home that was very
[15:37]pleasant sometimes want to shower twice
[15:39]a day but it's complicated you know to
[15:43]there's a lot involved than me taking a
[15:45]shower so getting better at it
[15:49]though I probably will start doing that
[15:52]soon like I can see myself coming down
[15:54]here at night and bringing my
[15:57]pajamas you know wearing those to bed
[16:01]and um I'd really like that so that's
[16:04]where I'm heading that's the direction
[16:06]I'm heading in these mosquito bites are
[16:10]brutal so that's the first thing we're
[16:12]going to do is just get some kind of
[16:14]cream on my on all of these these
[16:18]bites um and I was thinking while I was
[16:21]taking a shower I could take a tarp and
[16:24]put it out on my picnic bench um the
[16:26]tarps a little dirty so I'm going to
[16:28]rinse that off and then we'll dry it
[16:30]then I can bring out my hiking clothes
[16:31]put them on
[16:32]that and we'll spray them down with this
[16:35]stuff I got this mosquito
[16:37]repellent I think we'll start with that
[16:40]this
[16:41]morning um I want to just get as much
[16:43]done as I can today
[16:47]we've we've been doing a lot of
[16:50]exploring and hiking and we've gotten
[16:53]some of the Practical taken care of but
[16:57]we need to focus it's time to really get
[16:59]this stuff out of the
[17:00]way um so it's less of a
[17:04]thing um you know that's stressing on my
[17:06]mind I
[17:08]guess um I would kind of want to go
[17:10]hiking I'm not going to lie I want to go
[17:12]hiking right now I'm thinking about um
[17:15]that local Trail by the core of
[17:17]engineers really like to see
[17:19]it and today might be the day to do that
[17:23]because you know this weekend's just
[17:25]going to be incredibly busy and so
[17:28]probably that even that trail will be if
[17:31]we want to see it today's probably the
[17:33]best day for that so I am
[17:38]contemplating um if that's a good idea
[17:40]or not I don't
[17:42]know um so many so many competing
[17:46]interests in my head right now I'm
[17:49]always curious how those windows look
[17:50]from the outside they're tinted but you
[17:52]know lights
[17:54]inside kind of illuminate it I don't
[17:56]know if you can see it on the video but
[17:57]you can see my my um RGB lights a little
[18:01]bit I mean it'd be a lot more prominent
[18:03]at night but you know who could see I
[18:06]have lights up there it's pretty cool
[18:09]actually um that's the only window
[18:11]that's
[18:13]open because of this
[18:16]seat pretty
[18:18]neat I have one more set of those lights
[18:21]to put up I just don't know where I was
[18:23]thinking I could do it in the bathroom
[18:25]because there's nothing in there I don't
[18:27]spend a lot of time in there
[18:30]I don't want to waste my lights I want
[18:32]them to be something that I get to
[18:35]experience hello B he always gets right
[18:38]in the way he never just lets me come
[18:40]inside come on Bailey make room come
[18:45]on I think this one was in my Jeep so
[18:48]it's actually not too bad it's only a
[18:50]little bit a little bit of dirt
[19:04][Music]
[19:08]okay we have a nice clean space
[19:10]here it's dry we just need to read up on
[19:13]this stuff to figure out how to use it
[19:16]and then we are going to spray down my
[19:17]hiking
[19:18]clothes m is being a total pain today
[19:21]and I have to keep coming in and out so
[19:23]we're just going to let him chill in
[19:25]there for a while under the
[19:27]shade get him some water it's too hot to
[19:30]really be out here for
[19:32]long um so I talked to my mother
[19:36]yesterday right so um she I got a few
[19:40]things from her that she brought with
[19:41]her so some of my stuff that was there
[19:43]and um she's got some more of my things
[19:47]that we could use one of them being um
[19:50]that stuff that I had originally that b
[19:53]was able to be in outside so we're going
[19:56]to try to get that at some point
[19:59]I'm going to get one of my Alienware
[20:01]monitors and my gaming books that's
[20:02]pretty much all I care about
[20:05]so um Bailey looks
[20:08]happy he just wanted to be out here it's
[20:11]very hot but
[20:13]okay that's what he
[20:16]wanted so this stuff is pretty
[20:18]complicated it's saying that you shake
[20:20]it before you use it you spray it six um
[20:24]in
[20:26]away you lightly dampen it and then you
[20:29]let it sit for 2 hours for
[20:34]in environments that are have high
[20:38]humidity like here so this is going to
[20:41]be a bit of a
[20:42]challenge to do everything at once
[20:46]so um you got to be very careful not to
[20:49]get it on your skin or anything like
[20:50]that you this is literally just get it
[20:53]on your clothes do not get it on
[20:55]yourself it says that it binds to fabric
[20:59]being treated which gives residual prot
[21:02]protection lasting a minimum of 42 days
[21:05]and holds up through several machine
[21:09]Washings clothing should be retreated
[21:12]after 42 days or after the six
[21:14]laundering to maintain adequate
[21:17]protection do not Retreat gear more than
[21:20]every more than once every 42 days so
[21:25]we're going to have to integrate this
[21:26]into our life I guess every month and a
[21:27]half we do this
[21:29]this um this is our first time so it's
[21:32]going to take the longest but you know
[21:35]the more times we do it the more
[21:36]efficient we get at it and that's how
[21:39]this process works for me with
[21:41]everything that I do from programming to
[21:43]RV life to simple tasks like cooking or
[21:48]spraying clothes with some kind of stuff
[21:51]what is
[21:55]this perine
[21:59]I'm very hopeful that this stuff works I
[22:01]hope it helps I basically got four pairs
[22:04]of hiking clothes um two which are for
[22:08]Colder Weather and two which are for
[22:10]warm
[22:10]weather I actually I think that we
[22:14]can um get everything sprayed at once
[22:18]because I was thinking about it you know
[22:19]you got to spray both sides of it which
[22:21]means one side is going to be um exposed
[22:25]to you know the outside air and then the
[22:27]other side's going to be we flipped over
[22:29]and maybe we just stack our clothes on
[22:30]top of it I'm going to wear some gloves
[22:32]while I do this not a big fan of
[22:35]chemicals I'll start by spraying these
[22:38]down you want to be
[22:41]thorough
[22:43]okay 6 in it
[22:46]said lightly
[22:52]misted I said he use a sweeping motion
[22:55]but feels a little difficult
[22:59]these are very nice I look forward to
[23:01]wearing
[23:04]these should bring my tripod out for
[23:06]stuff like this if I'm going to document
[23:09]my life this
[23:11]closely got my shirts now we're going to
[23:13]do the shorts all done with some
[23:16]practice I was able to see it spray
[23:18]pattern it's actually very effective I
[23:20]use the whole bottle it's supposed to
[23:21]treat up to five outfits and I have
[23:24]six um so I figured you know use the
[23:26]whole bottom
[23:28]so every 45 days we need to get more of
[23:30]that that was I got that at a outdoor
[23:32]store I can't remember which one um I
[23:35]think I was in Elizabeth Town at the
[23:37]time but we'll figure that
[23:39]out cuz that stuff's great I really
[23:41]liked that I think this will be very
[23:43]effective I Mo Bailey over here keeping
[23:46]him in the shade and away from the
[23:48]spray he's enjoying this so I'm just
[23:51]going to let him be get him some water
[23:52]in a
[23:53]minute look at my
[23:56]shirt I'm already wet
[23:58]like I'm already getting it's already
[24:00]soaking through from sweat I've only
[24:02]been out here 30 minutes or so Bailey's
[24:04]over here I'm thinking I should bring
[24:06]him in but he seemed he seemed happy so
[24:08]I started talking do you want to go in
[24:10]now cuz it is
[24:12]hot yeah so we'll check out my clothes
[24:16]in a couple hours and if they're dry we
[24:17]can bring them in but we need to find a
[24:19]place for them they're treated with a
[24:22]chemical and they just need to be
[24:24]somewhere thinking either in the
[24:26]bathroom I could Tex we maybe put them
[24:29]in here but well this is a complicated
[24:32]area for
[24:34]me so probably in the just hang them up
[24:38]up here with everything else I was
[24:40]thinking I might put my coats in my
[24:43]Jeep I'm trying to expand the definition
[24:46]of
[24:47]home how did the sock up there oh man
[24:51]right in the toilet it's wet too that's
[24:56]great um
[24:59]I'm expanding the definition of
[25:02]home something I've talked about with AI
[25:05]you know it's a thing for me home is my
[25:08]Jeep it's my RV it's it's a transient
[25:12]space here I like the idea though of I
[25:16]don't like putting things in my Jeep
[25:18]because I just it's a small space I like
[25:20]being able to have that thing adaptable
[25:23]to my needs I got to go and you know get
[25:27]groceries or whatever ever the situation
[25:29]is I don't really like having the stuff
[25:30]in there so I'm I got to figure that out
[25:34]in here somehow I just
[25:36]do gotten quite a lot done in here I
[25:39]need a cognitive reset let's go take a
[25:41]hike at the local Campground
[25:46]Trail 94 out
[25:49]here but we're just going to do
[25:51]something

[25:56]is really doing
[26:00]good

[26:06]close I'm not very good at that sort of
[26:08]thing I try to be
[26:10]careful you better go around I need to
[26:12]get my mosquito spray at the very
[26:17]least spray down my legs or something
[26:20]cuz this is
[26:22]ridiculous um let's try this stuff I
[26:24]haven't used this yet so
[26:29]all right hopefully we'll be okay I
[26:32]don't like spraying myself down with
[26:33]stuff like that cuz I just have a thing
[26:35]about chemicals and doesn't mean I'm
[26:38]going to have to shower again
