1:49
$469 a gallon here Orange County like
1:53
there's a Orange County
1:55
sticker right there self- pumping gas
1:58
nozzle in full effect
2:00
this is the gas station when I used to
2:02
live here in Orange County that I always
2:03
always fuel up at before heading to LA
2:07
or heading over to Disney or whatnot
2:10
right across from the little shopping
2:11
center over there in fact
2:14
Roadhouse the opening scene bar from
2:17
Roadhouse was right over there where now
2:18
that little those restaurants and
2:21
Starbucks and all that
2:23
is I pointed that out before but this
2:26
yeah the old area I used to live in used
2:28
to live about a block or two from here
2:30
corner Orange Wood and Haster soothing
2:33
sounds of
2:37
Anaheim going down down down here at sna
2:42
parking structure to return the rental
2:43
car got it all fueled up it's frowned
2:47
upon when you do not return a rental car
2:50
with a full tank of gas well it's not
2:52
really frowned upon they just Char they
2:53
charge you a lot extra it's a lot of
2:55
speed humps through
2:58
here it's also exciting in to think
3:06
that over the next 30 days you know
3:06
unless there's an emergency and
3:07
something happens in my own personal
3:10
vehicle that I will not be in a rental
3:28
lately yeah I like how John Wayne
3:28
Airport the rental cars are just right
3:29
here in the parking structure it's like
3:31
a couple hundred
3:32
yards from the security checkpoints and
3:36
the gates and
3:37
everything all right drop the car off I
3:39
got a little walk go on this walk follow
3:42
the not the yellow brick well it is the
3:43
yellow brick road this was my rental
3:45
there pulling it up I dropped it off
3:48
following the yellow brick painting I
3:51
like the rental car I didn't like how it
3:54
stalled out at every light to save
3:57
electricity though whenever that would
4:00
happen
4:01
the air conditioner would turn off it
4:03
was weird and then it would crank back
4:05
up when I drove off so to conserve power
4:09
when it would get to the lights it would
4:11
turn
4:12
off and know it would just do that
4:14
little
4:21
lull it was nice because it got really
4:21
good fuel and gas mileage negative part
4:25
of it was when you would kind of have
4:27
that little lull at the lights the whole
4:30
car would just turn off and then the air
4:31
would go down to like 2% of what the air
4:36
normally was out at so it was like kind
4:39
of hard to get used to the gas mileage
4:42
was great going across keep keeps asking
4:45
my weight which not really comfortable
4:47
with telling an electronic Crossing
4:49
device how much I weigh in fact I
4:51
haven't weighed myself this year I know
4:52
I put some pounds back on though just by
4:55
fit by 50 I did pretty good on that and
4:56
I've kind of gone off the rails
4:58
hopefully when I'm home I can get back
5:00
on the treadmill all right this is my
5:01
flight right here well the first leg of
5:04
the flight Salt Lake City Delta flight
5:08
1089 leaves at 12:58 p.m. it's only 1111
5:13
right now so I think I'm good to go have
5:16
a connecting flight both window seats
5:18
the first one kind of towards the middle
5:20
of the plane the second flight towards
5:22
the front of the plane but I think
5:23
they're both windows all right went
5:25
pretty smoothly except I had a couple
5:27
items in my bag that they had to sech my
5:30
bag that I was not expecting would be an
5:32
issue they said next time eat it before
5:35
you get on or check on a bag with soup
5:38
items and it's the split PE soup that I
5:41
got on the way up to Oakland I have the
5:43
two cans in there they let it through
5:45
but they were like what the heck is this
5:47
you have peas in your bag but it went
5:49
through yeah that was pretty that was uh
5:51
kind of interesting I was like why are
5:52
they checking the bag that everything in
5:53
there is what I've had before I forgot I
5:55
had those two cans of two cans of peas
5:57
going to be saying goodbye to California
5:59
and and Orange County and off to Salt
6:02
Lake and then Florida Delta
6:09
Airlines taking off well it's going to
6:09
be taken off soon I think I'm going to
6:11
get a coffee before I start my weight
6:14
before loading and
6:20
boarding yeah us usually I fly with the
6:20
same stuff I thought why they pull my
6:22
bag to the side and then I saw the
6:24
screen I saw those two cans of soup and
6:26
I was like oh the peas the peas the
6:31
split
6:33
beas I have acquired a sugar-free hot
6:36
vanilla latte here in the OC there's a
6:39
passion for coffee and tea here in the
6:43
OC orange count now this is not my plane
6:46
I am at gate four this is gate three but
6:49
this is the one next to it uh this is uh
6:51
parallel to the one I'm going to be
6:52
going my plane has not arrived yet but
6:54
should be arriving soon while I get
6:57
caffeinated also I will say that John
6:59
Wayne sna Orange County has some of the
7:01
nicest TSA people anywhere over here at
7:04
8 now oh take a look
7:11
Landing it's a Delta flight
7:11
landing so the way this airport works
7:14
it's just kind of one long stretch One
7:16
Long Gate system with all the different
7:20
airlines all here Southwest United
7:25
American probably Spirit Frontier of
7:28
course Delta
7:30
and I have unpacked the bag just to show
7:32
the
7:33
culprit that had me delayed a little
7:37
bit figure I'll eat these when I get
7:39
home I bought two of them I didn't buy
7:41
the case when I was going up from LA to
7:44
Oakland for the last open CL here in
7:46
game stopped by and got these as a
7:48
little souvenir I thought they were
7:49
going to take these from me but they let
7:51
me have them on the plane they go next
7:54
time consume the soup before getting on
7:57
a plane or do it in check baggage
8:00
I guess with check
8:01
baggage there are more you can take more
8:04
on check baggage than you can take carry
8:07
on but I like carry I don't really like
8:09
doing check baggage
8:12
anyway got to keep my got to keep my
8:15
split pea
8:17
soup that almost delayed me not really
8:20
next time I'm be in SoCal
8:22
is going to be first of December early
8:26
December which is going to be a few days
8:28
like four or five days before heading to
8:31
Hawaii I got a family trip a lot of
8:34
family members are all going to Alani so
8:36
I'm going to have that so it'll be back
8:38
in December I might do a little know
8:41
Disney Christmas stuff and maybe some
8:44
Universal Christmas stuff haven't quite
8:46
figured that out but after that into
8:48
next year I'm really going to start
8:49
laying a little lower on the amount of
8:52
time I'm in SoCal in California
8:56
obviously if it's a a layover if I'm
8:58
going International heading Westward
9:00
International like let's say
9:03
Japan China Korea places like that or
9:07
Hawaii even though that's not
9:09
International it just makes sense to
9:11
kind of stop off in SoCal but as far as
9:15
spitting the amount of time I spent in
9:17
recent years in this year it's going to
9:18
be a little less it's still going to
9:21
come out here but it'll be less than it
9:23
it has been other things to do and one
9:25
thing I am going to do during the 30
9:28
days I'm going to be home in Florida in
9:31
October not going
9:34
anywhere CU I'm going to start planning
9:36
out some of that internet at
9:37
International stuff booking flights
9:39
booking hotels accommodations things
9:41
like that and really start to get it all
9:43
figured out what I'm going to be doing
9:45
in 2025 International I really haven't
9:48
thought about it yet but it's time to
9:49
start
9:50
planning and I can do that while I'm
9:52
going to be home for the next month this
9:54
is cool I've never noticed this mural
9:56
before over here it says eat well live
9:59
well you got gate six out there there's
10:02
the got the mountains there you got the
10:05
ferris wheel I thought maybe that was
10:07
the Santa Monica Pi but it's not it's a
10:09
maybe like a loose interpretation of it
10:11
you got the mountains here like maybe
10:12
that's supposed to be Malibu I it's just
10:14
like an interpretation got the Surfers
10:16
you got a train going by there I guess
10:19
this is just like a loose artistic
10:21
representation of the SoCal
10:28
beaches all right it's a little bit
10:28
small smaller plane the first leg to
10:30
Salt Lake it's uh this is it here gate
10:33
four it's pulling in pulling into the
10:35
station here a little smaller plane the
10:37
probably a second leg the far the second
10:39
second 2/3 of the flight will be all
10:41
right I'm sitting in seat 177
11:07
Place one bag in the overhead her person
11:07
if at all possible if you did bring on
11:09
two bags we ask you place your small
11:10
carryon bag underneath the seat in front
11:11
of you instead of the overhead bin save
11:13
the room in the overhead bins from Arch
11:15
bags only such as roller
11:17
boards if you have like a really really
11:20
big roller board and it just isn't
11:21
fitting in the overhead beds to the
11:23
right um I suggest stor them in the
11:26
overhead Des so you need a little extra
11:27
time to Stow your bag so somehow can
11:29
step down of the aisle into your row
11:31
passengers behind you to move on by
11:32
that'll also help out with the
11:35
process and if you so happen to only
11:37
bring one bag on board if that one bag
11:39
so happens to be small enough to go
11:41
underneath the seat in front of you we
11:42
do ask that you still sew it there
11:44
instead of the overhead pin
15:41
from this side a lot of construction
15:41
happening like they're creating more
15:43
gates over
15:45
there there's
15:48
A35 there's a33 that's my plane right
15:51
there there's the control
15:53
tower an SLC
16:12
store over there oops called The Atrium

16:18

25:01
Transportation device that goes from the

25:13
Hub I did not park in the parking
25:13
structure I had to park in a Economy
25:15
Parking when I left a couple weeks
25:18
ago I was gone I think for 57 days and I
25:22
was back for 4 days and I left again for
25:25
like 2 weeks something like that
25:30
I go out this way all this
25:40
way but when I came back before I left
25:40
the last
25:47
time had to park in economy all
25:47
the all the parking structures were
25:49
closed
26:08

26:08
Fountain all the stores are
26:10

26:30
this big screen
27:09
there he
27:09
is not a real
27:12
person made of
27:40
I don't really remember how to get over
27:40
to Economy Parking though to be honest
27:43
it's not something I usually
27:52
do maybe this is
27:52
it was just informed to go down between
27:55
11 and 13 this is 29
27:59
that was an off shuttle or an off
28:02
airport shuttle so where's the economy
28:05
one he goes oh go down all the way down
28:06
to between 11 and
28:08
13 and they'll take you over
28:11
there it's very
28:14
helpful I'm
28:44
there it is economy parking
28:44
aha I think this is
28:51
it North Park
28:51
Place all I know it's the one behind
28:59
7-Eleven what what the heck is
28:59
this it's a freaking
29:08
robot it's a robot
29:08
Zamboni I got to go over to the BS side
29:10
not the a side because you got to go to
29:13
South Economy Parking not
29:16
North that's strange
29:21
right the robot
29:28
Zamboni I think I got to go up
29:28
yeah I got to go back
29:29
up I've never been out this door before
29:32
wait a second I've never been out here
29:35
look at this Express pickup
29:37
is I have never been underneath here
29:40
look at
29:41
this what the
29:44
heck that's PR pretty cool down here
29:50
the artwork and stuff they have carved
29:53
into the side of the
29:54
walls and this
29:56
old like
29:58
1960s 7s glass brick like you'd see it
30:02
like
30:03
a Beachside
30:05
Motel all right I got to go over the
30:07
other
30:08
side this like parking over in the
30:10
economy really uh kind of messed me up
30:13
it's not my it's not my
30:23
Norm this thing's awesome it's a robotic
30:23
Zamboni
30:36
I have nothing but
30:59
time that's wild seeing all this
30:59
completely empty usually this is like
31:00
one of the longest lines The Gate 1
31:03
through 59 area over here usually I've
31:05
waited in that many many times for a
31:07
lengthy amount of time but none of the
31:09
gates are open right now it's so
31:12
late yeah over to the B
31:16
side you're a wizard you're a wizard
31:20
Harry all right try this on the other
31:22
side
31:35
would have been a lot easier if I could
31:35
just gone right over there and gone in
31:38
the parking structure
31:42
but had to park behind the
31:44
7-Eleven a mile away in the
31:51
grass looks like I am not the only one
31:51
going over
31:53
there there's a whole bunch of us kind
31:56
of have have to do just go over there
31:58
get a taxi and have them take me over to
31:59
the spot I don't know how long this is
32:01
going to take or if even all these
32:03
people are going to fit on one little
32:13
shuttle kind of the last thing you want
32:13
to do
32:15
when you have an all day flight thing
32:17
with a connecting flight layover for a
32:19
couple hours and get on another
32:22
flight just wait around to get your
32:25
car it is what it is though
32:28

32:32
it I think that's it yes it's pretty
32:36
good size think I'll get on
32:38
here got this we got
32:41
this just putting that out there
32:44
completely not true no one Parks you
32:46
closer as a fabrication usually if you
32:48
just park right there in the parking
32:49
structure that's way closer than this
32:52
that's uh it's not true false
32:55
advertising
33:20
somewhere I think I'm down here
33:20
somewhere there's the control tower

33:34

than about 20 days 3 weeks at the
33:50
absolute most and then back home for a
33:53
couple weeks two weeks gone 2 weeks home
