a recording of this saturday may 7 2022
0:07
i am about to take my rental car
0:09
that i have had for the last series of
0:11
days
0:12
take it back to the seattle airport then
0:15
take the shuttle over to the airport
0:17
proper
0:18
get on a plane and fly
0:21
from here seattle international down to
0:23
oakland where we'll be getting my own
0:25
personal vehicle that i drove cross
0:27
country and from there heading to the
0:29
next destination i'm inviting you
0:31
to join me it's not raining in seattle
0:34
it's a miracle
0:35
join me at the moment it's not
0:38
shall you
0:39
and of course before you return a rental
0:40
car it is frowned upon not to fill the
0:42
tank up they charge a little bit extra
0:44
so i always try to fill it up this gas
0:46
station five dollars and nine cents a
0:48
gallon
0:51
i think they charge you a little bit
0:52
more if you don't fill it up there it is
0:53
rental car return clearance of eight
0:56
feet nine inches
0:58
i think i'm good
1:10
of course i had to take a bus over
1:10
to the gate
1:12
flying alaska again back
1:15
round trip flew up from oakland to here
1:18
and then back on alaskan air my first
1:19
time ever flying alaska well this would
1:21
be my second because it's
1:23
the second leg of the round trip back to
1:24
open and i have no idea what my seat
1:27
assignment is i usually
1:29
also escalator
1:32
i always try to get a window seat but
1:34
this time it just it's just going to be
1:36
randomly picked
1:38
so i might not get a window seat it's
1:40
only a two hour flight a little less
1:41
than a two-hour flight
1:43
take a look at these little swirly
1:46
decorative
1:47
items over here
1:50
now i'm looking for the north bus not
1:52
the south bus the south bus
1:55
is heading by right now this line is for
1:57
the north bus
1:59
which is where i need to go
2:00
you stared at this too long
2:02
the wind is very gusty
2:04
if you stare in this too long it might
2:06
get hypnotized
2:11
any of these
2:24
i got plenty of time before my flight
2:24
board's opening up pulling into
2:27
the station
2:29
north
3:27
now i went over to the alaska
3:27
representative they said that i had to
3:28
check on where my seat will be at the
3:31
the gate itself the gate
3:34
agent but this is kind of a general
3:36
overview of the land here this directory
3:37
and you can see just how many departures
3:40
and arrivals are heading in i am at gate
3:43
c t
3:44
t c 10
3:47
e which is the very tip top the one
3:50
right there flight two zero four three
3:52
it's on time and to be honest the
3:54
checkpoint line doesn't look too bad i'm
3:56
gonna say probably maybe five ten minute
3:58
wait tops not bad oh wow there is a sub
4:02
pop store the record label sub pop has a
4:04
store inside the airport i suppose it's
4:07
not completely random because it is
4:08
based in seattle but i didn't wasn't
4:11
expecting really to see it inside an
4:12
airport inside you know on the way to
4:15
the sea gates there is a sub-pop music
4:18
store in here that has
4:20
little artifacts and also you know
4:21
merchandise
4:22
t-shirts and whatnot vinyl all kind of
4:25
it's like a
4:26
it's a full-on story oh i wonder if in
4:28
just like it's a madman mad mad world if
4:30
anything's hidden underneath this big w
4:32
and there is seattle chocolate over
4:34
there seattle made and this is called
4:36
the cloud walk you can walk across
4:40
the cloud walk
4:42
whatever that is and i can get a little
4:44
bit closer up to this
4:46
that's me right there top of the list
4:53
to oakland on alaska air
4:54
on top
4:55
yeah there are a few out there a few
4:56
alaska airline
4:58
planes out there
4:59
in the tarmac
5:01
and over here at the gate i need to be
5:03
out you see it's pretty windy there look
5:04
at the wind just kind of whipping
5:06
through the
5:07
torn
5:08
little covering there
5:10
oh there goes one taken off look at that
5:13
just caught it
5:14
there's another one right here i don't
5:16
think any of these are my plane
5:18
might should be pulling in soon
5:20
here's another airline going by that's a
5:22
really large plane and then over there
5:25
are a couple of more
5:26
pulling into the station and before it's
5:29
time for me to get i think about an hour
5:32
till boarding i'm just kind of wandering
5:34
around all the different gates looking
5:36
at all the different planes and
5:38
i was always fascinated by this i just i
5:40
just i like to walk around before
5:42
because i'm gonna be sitting for a while
5:43
so i just like to walk around and i was
5:45
also given a seat assignment 21a which i
5:48
believe might be a window seat over here
5:51
at the top of this little staircase
5:53
the very interesting
5:55
some artwork
5:56
kind of adorning the side there's some
5:58
clouds up top there
5:59
some trees
6:01
down there
6:11
and just like the disney parks they have
6:12
they have fuel rod stations here as well
6:14
yeah they have fuel rods in here and i
6:16
have not had a coffee yet today so
6:19
it's kind of a win-in-road moment i
6:20
think i'm gonna
6:22
get a starbucks because it was it was
6:24
started here in seattle so it makes
6:26
sense at the airport went with the
6:28
largest
6:29
hot vanilla latte vanilla yeah the put a
6:33
little vanilla flavor in there sometimes
6:35
i get regular coffee and other times
6:36
i'll get the
6:37
i'll get the latte
6:38
yeah still very windy out there
6:41
should be some interesting turbulence
6:45
upon takeoff
6:59
i have been volunteered
6:59
to have to put my bag
7:01
not carry on
7:03
so they're going to check my bag of
7:05
course i got to take it down this ramp
7:07
and then i guess i have to take my
7:08
laptop out of the bag because there's a
7:10
lithium battery inside my laptop i'm
7:12
going to take my laptop out of here
7:14
and put it in my backpack
7:16
once i get down to the plane
7:21
very rarely will i ever check
7:22
luggage
7:23
but it's a small plane so i didn't have
7:24
a choice
7:25
they made me do it
7:27

7:38
oh yeah there you go thank you thank you

non-carry-on luggage
13:56
i didn't want to
13:58
have a check but
13:59
they made me because the plane was small

15:20
i'm down here kind of at the end of the
15:22
this far lot
15:24
it's like deja vu like i was just here a
15:26
few days ago i was everything was good
15:29

i'll never say he missed me he doesn't
15:36
talk but
15:55
me i think that's a yes
15:55
now i'm curious to see how much it's
15:57
going to cost me to keep my car parked
15:58
here these last few days
16:01
it's looking like 77
16:07
okay that's kind of what i expected i
16:08
was expecting between
16:09
70 and 100. and i filled up the rental
16:12
car a little bit ago but now i'm filling
16:13
up my own vehicle
16:15
at this particular gas station 6.29
16:19
a gallon in northern california 6 29.
16:24
got some windmills up on the hill there
16:26
the sign says gusty wind warning
16:34
oh yeah
16:34
the five
16:36
it's been a while
16:49
right here off the five freeway is
16:49
anderson's pea soup restaurant
16:53
i'm gonna get myself some pea soup
17:06
now i will not be dining in to
17:06
anderson's pea soup restaurant but i'll
17:08
be getting a few cans
17:10
to take as a souvenir
17:13
might even get more than a few cans
17:15
because i have my car with me so
17:17
wherever i end up
17:19
going or if i end up getting back to
17:20
florida
17:21
i'd like to have some
17:24
some of the cans from here
17:28
i'm not going to die in i'm just
17:28
stopping in the gift shop i really like
17:30
the pea soup it's interesting as much
17:33
wind as there is out here it's very very
17:34
windy
17:36
that bird just went by very quickly
17:38
this windmill's not
17:40
moving
17:41
now i did eat here back in august of
17:43
last year when i was heading back from
17:45
san francisco back to my place in
17:46
anaheim that's when i still lived in
17:48
california
17:49
i didn't leave california
17:52
to be full-time you know quote-unquote
17:54
even though i travel all the time
17:56
i had the place in celebration and i had
17:58
the place in anaheim
18:00
for about a year
18:02
or so before i just gave up the anaheim
18:04
spot
18:08
but i did it inside here and i got a
18:08
couple to go
18:10
cans from the gift shop and i really
18:12
liked it
18:13
and i wish i had bought more now i'm
18:14
back stopping back through so i'm gonna
18:16
buy more got the case
18:18
12 of them
18:19
four dollars each or 32 dollars
18:22
for the whole case
18:27
kind of surprised that windmill's not
18:27
turning but it's not
18:29
there's a bunch of sheep out there
18:48
hello sheep
18:49
hello there sheep
19:18
going southbound towards la
19:18
the san francisco area
19:20
on the five
19:22
pretty boring drive
19:25
not really a whole heck of a lot to see
19:28
gonna veer off the freeway for just a
19:30
couple miles take a look at that sunset
19:34
yeah that sun is setting very
19:36
beautifully
19:38
over across the horizon
19:40
across the way here
19:43
is a marker
20:03
okay those holes down there would that
20:03
be us are those snake holes
20:06
huh i don't know if they don't know okay
20:15
14 miles
20:15
that direction
20:17
which is interesting
20:19
that they place the marker here
20:25
nonetheless the headquarters of the
20:25
notorious bandit
20:28
jaclyn
20:30
muretta
20:35
now sometimes when you think of
20:36
think of los angeles you think of san
20:38
francisco you think of the hustle and
20:39
bustle of cities
20:41
but most of california
20:44
is like this
20:45
just like this
20:47
there's some oil rigs out there working
20:49
as well
20:51
well at least one of them is working
21:02
oh that one's working too that one's
21:02
working
21:57
and i think i'm gonna go ahead and end
21:57
it here
21:59
found a hotel
22:01
off the side of the five freeway
22:04
a glorious hue
22:09
in the air over there on the
22:10
mountainside
22:19
it's been a long travel day
22:19
i'll see the next video the vlog
22:22
