welcome everyone adam the woo here as a
0:02
recording of this wednesday may 4th
0:04
already running into a little bit of a a
0:06
hiccup travel wise for today
0:09
but it'll work out
0:10
i have basically lost by a little packet
0:13
of about six to seven batteries that i
0:15
have for the canon g7x that i'm
0:17
recording this on
0:19
not really a huge ordeal except for the
0:22
fact that the battery life on these
0:23
doesn't really last too long
0:25
so i usually go between two and three a
0:27
day
0:28
filming these episodes i'm gonna have to
0:31
find a place to purchase those batteries
0:32
there is a best buy about 15 minutes
0:34
south of here
0:36
i am staying at this hotel i have just
0:37
checked out
0:38
next to the oakland california airport i
0:41
have a flight at 5 00 pm
0:44
to fly to seattle this will be the first
0:46
time ever that i've also left my vehicle
0:49
my car at an airport
0:52
and during my tenure in seattle
0:55
i will have a rental car and then i will
0:57
fly back at some point get my car here
1:00
and then drive to the next destination
1:02
so that's the first time i've ever done
1:03
that
1:04
shouldn't be too much of an issue i
1:05
looked up and they do have
1:07
long term
1:08
spots at the airport for rental cars but
1:10
the first order of business today
1:13
is to go down and see if best buy has
1:15
the batteries i need for the canon g7x
1:17
mark ii
1:18
and i need to buy two or three of those
1:19
so
1:21
that's the first process also right next
1:23
to the airport is the oakland coliseum
1:25
today is game three
1:28
of the series
1:29
of not only the oakland days at home
1:31
tampa bay rays wearing an appropriate
1:33
t-shirt exporting tropicana another
1:35
stadium that a lot of people do not like
1:37
a lot of people do not like the oakland
1:38
coliseum so i felt it appropriate to
1:40
wear this not gonna really film a lot of
1:42
the game in fact last night i went to
1:44
game two didn't even take my camera in
1:46
didn't document it at all just enjoyed
1:48
it with my own
1:50
eyes
1:52
i will be departing out of california
1:54
going to seattle today we got some
1:56
business to take care of first join me
1:59
it's always something but it always
2:00
keeps it interesting at least i didn't
2:02
lose my camera
2:03
and at least i didn't use the little
2:06
mechanism that plugs the sd card
2:08
into the bottom of my
2:10
phone to add it because that would have
2:12
been really bad
2:14
join me
2:15
shall you every problem
2:17
can be solved piping hot caffeinated
2:19
beverage will make everything okay as
2:21
well but you can hear a plane landing
2:23
that's how close i am
2:24
to the airport it's like it are these
2:28
are those petunias
2:29
also i'm grateful to still have the two
2:31
chargers
2:33
so i don't have to purchase more
2:34
chargers and one of the chargers is
2:36
another battery so i do have two
2:37
batteries
2:38
one that's not well one that is charged
2:40
in the charger and then also one that's
2:42
charged
2:43
in my camera
2:45
so i just probably need to buy another
2:46
one or two just to be on the safe side
2:48
but worst case i got two so it's gonna
2:50
be it'll be good now i have a
2:52
i have a lot more
2:54
excitement in my bones
2:56
knowing that i have two batteries
2:57
instead of just the one that's in there
2:59
that gives me some peace of mind all
3:00
right took about 25 minutes a little bit
3:02
of a traffic jam over here to union
3:04
landing
3:07
probably gonna also need to get an sd
3:09
extra sd card
3:10
and some a little packet to put the
3:12
batteries i'm gonna buy and the sd card
3:14
in to just carry around with
3:16
all right that's accomplished a little
3:18
brown bag in it as well
3:21
these are 49.99 each
3:24
sd card i think was 39.99
3:27
and no luck on finding a little baggie
3:28
to carry them around and so i'll make
3:30
i'll i'll make do
3:32
and the price i'm not too bad but it's a
3:34
kind of a weird off-brand
3:36
which sometimes they don't charge as
3:38
well but
3:39
you know
3:40
that's all they had it was the last two
3:42
that was on the shelf went with the
3:43
extreme plus
3:45
sandisk there
3:46
i might not even have to use the extra
3:48
sd card i just like to have one on me
3:50
at all times just in case and then these
3:52
are the refuel
3:54
i don't really like refillable ones but
3:56
it's the
3:57
replacement for the canon
3:59
nb-13l which is
4:02
the camera battery model i needed except
4:05
it's really hard to get canon batteries
4:06
without ordering them online anywhere
4:08
they always sell like these strange
4:10
refuelable off-brand ones all right now
4:13
about 20 minutes back up
4:15
north
4:16
at a veer off classic car that el camino
4:19
it is
4:21
back up to the stadium i shouldn't make
4:22
it in time for first pitch
4:50
now i might not be able to stay for the
4:50
entire game
4:51
first pitch is at 12 37 my flight boards
4:54
at 4 30. i don't know how the oakland
4:56
airport is as far as how early i need to
4:58
get there for so i'm going to play it by
5:00
ear current time at this moment noon
5:03
first pitch at 12 37
5:05
estate of my flight departs at
5:07
4 30. i don't think oakland's going to
5:09
be bad as going over to san francisco
5:11
and flying out be a little more mellow
5:13
will be anything like lax orlando
5:16
international or anything like that so i
5:18
might be able to get there an hour
5:19
before so i might make it to the end of
5:20
the game however in a streak of
5:24
incredible luck when i ended up showing
5:27
up here to the oakland alameda county
5:30
coliseum ricky henderson field
5:32
the oakland coliseum if you will i
5:34
noticed that i found the little battery
5:37
pack that i had i cannot believe i drove
5:39
20 miles south of here and then 20 miles
5:40
north back up and the battery pack was
5:43
wedged in the little top
5:45
luggage rack
5:46
of my car
5:47
so now i have extra batteries i have the
5:49
ones i had found i was stressed out
5:51
pretty much over i cannot this is
5:53
amazing the fact that it did not end up
5:55
flying off the top of my car so i am
5:58
pretty dang happy right now
6:01
what are the odds i found it
6:03
how did it not fly off the top of my car
6:25
oh yeah
6:26
drop it drop it yeah
6:32
bring it in
6:38
i smell a sweep
6:47
all right guys
6:48
awesome
6:51
and that's it
6:52
raise
6:54
have one swept the series and this is
6:56
just a nice little add on to me finding
6:57
my batteries and everything so it worked
6:59
out pretty dang good
7:06
that is what i'm looking for daily
7:06
parking
7:07
i can't pay hourly because i'm going to
7:09
be gone a series of days
7:11
so daily parking is what i'm looking for
7:12
i'm gonna leave my car here for a while
7:15
this doesn't seem like too bad of a deal
7:18
24
7:19
daily mat or 24 a day
7:23
that's pretty good
7:25
also
7:26
take a look at this
7:33
futuristic looking
7:34
i'm getting steve martin vibes
7:36
walking from the well it's not a rental
7:38
car a lot
7:39
usually i rent cars when i go to
7:40
different airports i mean i'll be doing
7:42
that today when i
7:43
arrive in
7:44
seattle
7:46
but i've never parked a car daily
7:47
parking i know it doesn't seem like much
7:49
but
7:53
new experiences i'm also flying an
7:53
airline i've never been on before alaska
7:57
airlines
7:58
that's a new one they fly direct no
8:01
layovers
8:02
from this airport to seattle from
8:04
oakland
8:06
i consider flying out of i think it's
8:07
sfo
8:09
san francisco international but that
8:11
would have been kind of a pain i didn't
8:13
even go to that side of the bay i didn't
8:14
even go across
8:16
to san francisco on this
8:18
very short tenure
8:20
in the east bay just all on the open
8:22
side
8:23
and this is good advice i did lock my
8:25
car i took my keys
8:27
but keeping my stuff safe
8:30
the lots are patrolled
8:32
regularly got the california state flag
8:34
there also the port of oakland flag of
8:37
the u.s flag
8:38
i will be leaving one state into another
8:45
a little gusty today
8:45
maybe there'll be some
8:47
exciting turbulence
8:50
on this this flight
8:52
okay i think i made the right choice
8:53
this place is not
8:55
a beehive of activity and i should have
8:58
well first impression walking in here no
9:00
issue
9:05
making my flight there's not a lot of
9:05
people in here okay that was very very
9:07
quick took my shoes off my belt off my
9:09
laptop out of the bag i put it back in
9:11
now and just kind of went through in
9:14
a matter of moments did not take long at
9:16
all i just got to follow this stripe
9:17
here over to gate eight
9:20
is where i need to be gate eight see if
9:23
i can look out the window and see an
9:25
alaskan air
9:27
plane oh there's one over there
9:29
way over there
9:32
that is not the one i will be boarding
9:33
but there is one way over there of
9:36
course i've walked away from the gate
9:37
i'm supposed to be out
9:39
mine hasn't arrived yet
9:49
yeah i'm pretty excited to fly an
9:49
airline i've never been on before
9:51
see what this alaska airlines is all
9:53
about
9:54
granted it's only a two hour flights but
9:56
it's still
9:58
still an experience okay i was just
10:00
informed went up to the
10:02
information
10:07
station over there for
10:07
getting on board and they said that
10:08
they're not required but i went ahead
10:10
and grabbed one just in case
10:12
probably won't put it on but if i need
10:14
to you know i'm not sure
10:16
if i have an empty seat next to me if
10:18
it'll be a full flight
10:19
you know just comfort level i'll just
10:21
have it just just in case
10:22
all right there's my plane right there
10:25
for your boarding group there's a
10:26
possibility you may not be able to put
10:28
your bag in so bring it up
10:30
it's tough to get a good angle on my
10:32
plane
10:32
this is really the only window that
10:34
looks out
10:35
across the
10:37
entry point here
10:43
all right heading down the ramp i am in
10:43
c20a
10:45
group number c it's making quite a
10:47
little bit of racket so they're the
10:49
third group that they've let on so i'll
10:50
probably be around the middle of the
10:52
and i always i always just bring carry
10:54
on so this
10:56
i never do checked luggage
11:12

escalator time and this is my pony for
21:49
my automobile my car
21:51
really it's not a pony it's a figure
21:53
speech
21:59
i should also point out on my car
21:59
earlier
22:03
and when i had the
22:04
when i had lost my battery pack
22:06
yesterday the last spot i went to
22:09
yesterday my battery was starting to run
22:11
out of steam
22:12
and i must have taken the battery pack
22:14
changed the battery in the camera
22:17
put it on top of the car
22:18
and it must have slid
22:24
from
22:24
here or over there
22:26
underneath the luggage rack
22:34
and i drove around all
22:34
evening last night and today during the
22:38
it had wedged in i'm using this this car
22:41
as an example but
22:42
my car which is
22:44
not even in the state anymore because i
22:46
know
22:47
seattle but yeah wedged over there
22:49
how the heck did i not lose that and it
22:51
just goes to show that sometimes most of
22:54
the time almost all the time there are a
22:56
few exceptions that it does not things
22:58
do not work out but usually things just
23:01
work out
23:02
did not
23:04
comprehend or think about how that could
23:07
be stuck in wedge in there i don't even
23:09
know why i didn't look
23:11
when i went in the car i searched the
23:12
floorboards there's underneath the
23:14
vehicle searched the glove box i
23:15
searched in my luggage i went back into
23:18
my hotel room even after i checked i had
23:19
to go back inside to go back in i forgot
23:21
something went back in the room looked
23:23
underneath the desk looked underneath
23:24
the bed looked all in the little nooks
23:27
and crannies could not find it gave up
23:29
on it
23:30
drove
23:31
southbound
23:32
from oakland down to 20 miles 15 miles
23:36
to the best buy bought it box some
23:38
extras now i have an overload
23:41
of batteries which i'm not complaining
23:42
about and it was until i met my friend
23:44
alex at oakland stadium
23:47
he took the he took the train in the
23:49
bart they call it
23:51
and was explained to him you know what i
23:53
think maybe yesterday i put it on top of
23:54
the car and as i was driving it just
23:56
flew off and i pointed over as an
23:58
example
23:59
that that's what happened and i was like
24:01
holy crud it's right there he was
24:04
laughing hysterically
24:07
ah
24:08
it's a good day feels good i thought
24:10
it's gonna be colder
24:11
