into my new
0:14
home before when I had my apartment
0:16
which was right on Market Street
0:17
downtown celebration I was on the third
0:20
floor so I had to walk the bicycle down
0:24
a couple flights of
0:25
stairs and then to the road it was I
0:29
almost say it was inconvenience but
0:31
definitely was not convenient now

0:35
do is open the garage door after I
0:37
inflate the tires put some air in the
0:39
tires and see what I can find here on

0:50
dusk see what I can find stretch the
0:52
legs get some pedling in join me shall
0:56
you lately I've been taking this bad boy
0:58

1:10
pump there going to fill it
1:12

1:21
spin let's go also the weather is really
1:21
nice going to get down to 65 and
1:25
60° at 600 p.m. nice little breeze out
1:29
here so nice rolling
1:31
along I added a little side mirror here
1:34
a while back really comes in handy to
1:38
see what's going on behind you as I
1:40
cruise through these neighborhoods it
1:42
look like something got to Leave it to
1:44
Beaver love living
1:55
here this house each and every holiday
1:55
not just Halloween not just Christmas
1:57
but also Valentine's Day which is right
1:59
around the corner Corner
2:01
Easter St Patty's Day and an assortment
2:04
of others always accessorizes their
2:07
front
2:21
yard yeah seeing this sign reminds me I
2:21
still need to watch Desperate Housewives
2:23
I mean I've seen all the facades that
2:26
are on the BB Street on Colonial Street
2:27
University is Hollywood I don't know if
2:30
I'll watch all the season but I heard
2:31
the first season's really good maybe
2:33
tonight I'll throw it up on the my big
2:36
TV and and start with episode one which
2:39
is very interesting that this name
2:43
shares the same
2:45
name of the street and the
2:48
show because it looks like the Universal
2:50
studi Hollywood
2:53
Backlot facades in a lot of
2:56
ways looks like Colonial
2:58
Street
3:07
it's also interesting how the school
3:07
reminds me a
3:09
lot of the Disney Burbank Studios just
3:12
the way it's
3:19
built obviously it's Sunday nothing
3:19
going on here today W that's like a
3:21
six-seater
3:23
and got a whole storage section in the
3:25
back too it's a good siiz little golf
3:29
cart
3:30
couple vesas right
3:39
there road was closed because of the
3:39
marathon half marathon that took place
3:41
this afternoon did not witness any of it
3:43
but yesterday when I was doing a little
3:44
Walkin talk showed some of the cones
3:47
that were set up and they're just
3:49
finally pulling up all the stanions from
3:51
the Sunday morning run that happened
3:55
earlier like bunch of sandbags there
3:59
tell what those are
4:00
or maybe they're just bags full of
4:02
equipment from
4:04
earlier evidently the marathon is very
4:06
very popular plus half marathon so that
4:09
would be 13 and 1 12 M 13 miles 26 mil
4:12
half is
4:20
13 look at this thing A rad power bike
4:20
that's definitely probably motorized
4:22
attempting to ride a bike with a coffee
4:24
you end up sloshing around quite a bit
4:27
there so I got a little bit going make
4:29
de a camera in the hand and a coffee
4:32
check out this car right here a little
4:33
sports
4:35
car there is a bicycle rental place here
4:37
in celebration it used to expand out a
4:39
lot farther back but they kind of put it
4:42
about half the size the fence used to go
4:44
over here it's called a two wheel taxi
4:47
however the two wheel Taxi place does
4:49
have three wheel taxis because that
4:50
right there has the bicycle on the back
4:53
and they also have the helmets basically
4:56
ooh here's a tandem bike where did this
4:58
tandem bike come from problem can I rent
5:00
a tandem
5:01
bike look at that
5:05
thing it'd be kind of neat too if I
5:07
could rent this Mr Toad s vehicle also
5:09
from the the two wheel Taxi place Tanda
5:13
bikes are very uncomfortable I've ridden
5:14
on them before and just I never feel
5:16
comfortable on one oo the wind is
5:18
kicking up thing I like about
5:20
celebration is there is I don't say 100
5:23
but there's like at least 20 plus miles
5:26
of bike trails through town some of them
5:29
through the swampy regions on wooden
5:32
bridges and then some of them on
5:35
sidewalks at that sun
5:38
glistening I think I'm just going to sit
5:40
down real quick and finish this finish
5:41
this
6:03
oh interesting I've never noticed this
6:03
little wooden bridge over here it's
6:04
giving me like Sleepy Hollow
6:22
right some sort of some sort of monster
6:22
bubbling up down there not really but
6:25
it's fun to
6:37
look at that freaking house what the
6:37
heck this is East
6:50
Lawn just a peaceful stroll on a
6:50
bicycle and a
6:53
house worth more than a pretty penny
6:55
look at that thing holy
6:58
Lord
7:04
East Lawn for the win this one kind of
7:04
has a it's made out of rock work but it
7:07
kind of has like a
7:08
storybook type of vibe to it just
7:12
picture Disney princess living in one of
7:14
these Snow White
7:16
era man look at this like little like a
7:19
castle thing around the side
7:22
wow all right this is the East Village
7:25
pool area where I can have access
7:28
because I have a resident of celebration
7:29
to all the pool
7:31
areas but obviously it's a little too
7:33
chilly to go swimming today but at some
7:36
point when it starts to warm up say
7:37
spring and summer maybe even before then
7:40
I'm going to start doing a little pool
7:41
hopp into all the pools around probably
7:42
take my glorified golf cart around to a
7:45
lot of those but I like this one cuz
7:47
there's really hardly ever anyone in
7:50
here even during summer I've gone by
7:52
here and haven't seen there's people in
7:54
here but not like some of the other
7:55
pools look at this NE it's like this
7:56
little island in the
7:57
middle these f pool all right there's
8:00
the house that has all the Valentine
8:02
stuff up and there's a trail back here
8:04
that I have never ventured into so I'm
8:06
going to go deep into the Woodland area
8:10
of Celebration Florida as I go through
8:13
the wooded section with this little
8:15
windy Trail through here again there are
8:18
just countless miles of bike and walking
8:22
path Trails all through here and this
8:25
might be wider than 5 ft what I take the
8:27
cart through here I probably shouldn't
8:28
take the cart through here but yeah look
8:31
at this there's like a fork in the road
8:33
I think Yogi Barrow once said if you see
8:34
a fork in the road take it there's some
8:37
deer in the woods right there surprised
8:39
me riding through here didn't startle
8:40
them off there's another one right over
8:44
there I've heard of the infamous
8:46
celebration
8:47
deer there they are the elusive not
8:50
Infamous but the elusive celebration
8:53
deer there's a couple of them look at
8:55
that yeah just over here in the foliage
8:57
and the shade great raising a little
9:01
bit pretty neat oh what are you looking
9:03
at dear you looking the other
9:06
way chowing down in a little
9:30
there
9:30
I don't know how close I should get
9:31
probably not any closer but that is just
9:33
so dang cool how stinking
9:35
cute hello
10:10
evidently they are not
10:10
afraid of the
10:20
locals now someone has made a little
10:20
stick item here it kind of reminds me of
10:22
the Blair Witch Project for whatever
10:25
reason there is a Blair
10:28
witches
10:30
stick thing dangling from this
10:40
tree yeah for whatever
10:40
reason what I could do is bring a tent
10:42
out here and camp out here one night see
10:44
what happens this might be bad luck but
10:47
I'm going to I'm going to pick this up
10:48
and going to dangle it here just for
10:52
posterity I'm going put it back on the
10:54
trees I probably shouldn't
10:55
be all right so this is interesting it
10:58
is the the exact same stick figure well
11:01
it's probably not the same stick those
11:03
sticks are probably long gone but it's
11:04
the same formation as the one from the
11:07
film that's horrifying look at
11:10
that I don't know what's going on
11:14
here okay I think I've I've milked this
11:16
whole thing a little too long get going
11:18
contining all right now following this
11:20
around the windy Trail here that was a
11:22
little bit
11:27
spooky never know what you're going to
11:27
find cruising around the
11:29
the wooded areas of town all right going
11:31
back across more wooded area winding
11:34
through the woods even more cuz like
11:37
obviously hard to do a sidewalk over the
11:39
swamps so they built this bridge here so
11:43
sidewalks and bridges well I'm going a
11:46
little too fast that's
11:49
close
12:13
yes I guess you could file this one
12:13
under bike ride through the
12:16
swamps well over the swamps cuz I'm
12:19
technically on this little but you get
12:20
what I'm saying a bike
12:22
ride on wooden air a bike riding C file
12:27
it under a bike riding celebration
12:28
that's I think I'm actually going to go
12:31
by get
12:33
my jacket cuz the sun's starting to go
12:35
down it's starting to get a little
12:36
chilly I'm going to cruise by my place
12:38
and get some get something a little
12:41
throw on the
12:43
arms it's not too bad when you're
12:45
standing around but when you're like
12:47
riding along in the
12:49
breeze wind hit me I know soon that
12:52
Sun's going to be set and it's going to
12:53

temperature's dropping a little bit
13:01
there's a squirrel appear here in the
13:03
middle of the

Publix and Walgreens is there's a bunch
14:16
of other stuff that hasn't opened yet
14:18
and you can see they are extending jump
14:20
off the bike they are extending the area
14:24
where they're building even more over
14:25
here this is a whole new section kind of
14:28
like the Gateway into Island village
14:30
which is a new section of Celebration
14:32
there's two publ on one on the 192 side
14:35
and one over next to World Drive side
14:36
there are open interviews here for Slim
14:40
Chickens be a new chicken place to try
14:43
that Slim Chickens maybe like a healthy
14:45
chicken spot maybe grilled chicken and
14:47

14:49
little less fried this year that I
14:53
normally do so you just like look right
14:55
in
14:59
there's Advent health
15:01
building this whole area is going to
15:04
be pretty nice when it's all fixed up
15:06
with the art deco Publix straight ahead
15:10
over there these are all going to be
15:12
different buildings with different uh
15:13
businesses in them right through here
15:15
this is a very expansive area through
15:18
here you see they're still kind of
15:20
setting a lot of the stuff up you got a
15:22
little seating area over in this section
15:25
you got the a brewing company coming
15:28
soon
15:33
some point then you got a boutique this
15:33
Boutique looks like it might already be
15:35
open or at least almost ready to be open
15:37
oo a Jersey Mike Subs it's going to be
15:41
rearing its head also coming soon Jersey
15:46
miks
15:48
Subs if you look over there you can see
15:49
the Mickey power pole glimmering well
15:52
not glimmering
15:54
but slowly presenting itself where the
15:58
sun is over there starting to set or
16:01
almost
16:02
set it might be kind of tough to see it
16:04
Mi power PS over there behind the AR
16:06
Deco Publix also a dental place not open
16:09
yet a Great Clips which I think just
16:11
opened and then of course this
16:14
beautiful artistic structure woo it is
16:18
windy look at this beautiful Art Deco
16:20
building love it got the liquor store
16:23
here on the
16:25
end Publix were shopping as a pleasure
16:27
that's still their logo
16:29
when I worked for Publix in the early
16:30
90s that was the slogan we're shopping
16:33
as a pleasure now it's just food and
16:36
Food and
16:38
pharmacy all right I ended up buying a
16:40
lot more than I thought I was going to
16:42
buy but you know it's all good stuff
16:44
good healthy items that I could have at
16:45
the
16:46
homestead and now I got a ride with a
16:49
camera in hand do not have a bass I
16:51
should have brought a backpack to or
16:53
backpack to load this in but now going
16:56
to be departing the deck EO Publix
17:00
cruising home on my
17:02
bike probably need a basket for my bike
17:04
at some point probably bought a little
17:06
bit too much but yeah it's tempting when
17:09
you go in there publ has some really
17:10
good items I'm going to do the old
17:13
double
17:13
bag put it on the grip trick here double
17:18
bag
17:20
it you know what's
17:22
interesting well I self checked out so
17:24
that doesn't apply but back when I
17:25
worked at Publix in the early '90s you'd
17:28
always have a bagger that say do you
17:29
want paper or plastic also this is the
17:32
Celebration Death Pond it's true
17:34
story couple time couple incidents
17:36
happened here right here at the corner
17:38
of whe
17:39
Drive see if I can make this
18:43
I still have some food in the fridge
18:43
from about a week or so ago when I
18:45
purchased some stuff at the farmers
18:46
market and stuff but I ended up getting
18:48
some grilled boneless chicken breast
18:50
there also got a salad this will last me
18:53
probably a couple days maybe even more
18:54
than that with some of the stuff I still
18:56
have in the fridge I also went with a
18:58
little seasoning but I'm really liking
19:00
the zucchinis and the Squash cutting
19:02
those up put it in the air fryer and
19:04
then if I have a handker and I can throw
19:07
these on the stove or in the microwave
19:09
or whichever and then go went with a
19:12
coffee make creamer over here a little
19:16
uh when I make coffee at home in the
19:18
curig little zero sugar there sometimes
19:21
I do hazelnut sometimes I'll do in this
19:23
case I'll do french vanilla and I think
19:25
I'm even going to hold off on the
19:26
chicken breast tonight cuz I do have a
19:27
lot of veggie even some left in the
19:29
fridge I want to kind of go through so
19:31
I'm going to go with the broccoli
19:33
fettes and then some asparagus there and
19:36
some cut up some potatoes as well and
19:39
green peppers and then I'm going to eat
19:40
the Sal the side salad I got from Publix
19:42
also that'll be my meal of the night
19:45
trying to cut out sweets and fried foods
19:49
that's my goal anyway occasionally I'll
19:50
eat it but trying to make a habit of not
19:53
eating that stuff on a regular basis
19:54
okay I opted to put one of the potatoes
19:56
back and I put the green pepper PE back
19:58
just because the this area was like you
20:00
know pretty full already and we'll see
20:03
what happens sprinkle a little bit of
20:05
this on probably better if I put it in a
20:06
bowl and shook it all up cuz I don't
20:08
really definitely a novice when it comes
20:10
to spices but sometimes it's just a
20:12
little too bland to not have anything on
20:14
it so I'm going with
20:16
the the Kinder seasoning butter and
20:20
garlic and herb just a little bit on
20:22
there I don't need to like overdo it
20:24
but kind of pepper that on if you will
20:33
got the asparagus in there and I did
20:33
this I did the same thing last night I
20:35
prepared some foods like this last night
20:37
basically what I did is kept it on the
20:40
temperature at about
20:41
375 do about 15 minutes got to plug it
20:44
in and got it cooking so I'm going to do
20:46
about 15 minutes and I've opted out to
20:49
not have the splash tray underneath it
20:52
because I'm hearing that it probably
20:54
does a little better with the air fry
20:55
without having that Splash tray
20:57
underneath it so
20:58
I'm just going to kind of clean it up
21:00
after the fact and see how this does
21:02
after 15 minutes in the air fryer again
21:05
not doing the chicken tonight but got
21:08
some stuff in the fridge for for later
21:09
dates all right nice and steamy about 15
21:12
minutes on about
21:14
375 looks pretty good it's pretty cooked
21:17
again I did this last night pretty much
21:19
the same kind of stuff and it worked out
21:21
pretty well had a different seasoning
21:22
though I had to tried a new seasoning
21:25
tonight and I was probably going to have
21:27
this and then the salad also found
21:30
Desperate Housewives on streaming so I'm
21:33
going to start on the I'm going to start
21:34
on season 1 I don't know if I'll get
21:36
through the whole show but I've heard
21:38
season one's pretty good so why not I'll
21:41
eat the veggies first and if I'm still
21:42
hungry I haven't eaten all day so I
21:44
might still be hungry but I might be
21:45
full too but if I need a little bit I'll
21:47
kind of kind of go into this
21:50
also here we
21:53
go yeah seeing the street name maybe
21:56
want to watch the show I've been meaning
21:58
to start it for a while so that's going
22:00
to do it for today thanks for watching a
22:02
casual day a casual bike ride around
22:04
celebration nothing too thrilling but
22:06
you know what it's what it is I'll see
22:08
