0:43
some maintenance done on it in the time
0:46
frame that I am gone really excited
0:48
about this road trip because it's been a
0:49
while since I just got in a car drove
0:52
across the countryside so that'll
0:54
that'll be happening but that's not
0:55

thunderstorm
1:00
around celebration got to run some
1:02
errands do some things check some items
1:05
out and hopefully not get struck by
1:08
lightning one good thing about when the
1:10
weather is inclement there's not a whole
1:13
heck of a lot of people downtown so
1:16
plenty of parking plenty of parking I'm
1:19
going to park where I should park there
1:20
right over here I'm inviting you to join
1:22
me shall you rain drops are not only
1:24
falling on my head but also formulating
1:27
into puddles and the raindrops are
1:29
dripping down into those puddles as well
1:33
usually parking is not this prevalent
1:36
but again not a lot of people down here
1:38
I'm going to head to Starbucks get
1:39
myself a coffee little caffeinated get a
1:42
little piping hot caffeinated beverage
1:44
roll them through the bones all right
1:46
accomplished got a little blonde roast
1:48
or maybe it was Pike BL so whatever you
1:50
have as far as a a warm
1:53
non-old coffee a little milk a little
1:56
sugar in there as well also there's not
2:00
there actually are a couple people
2:01
sitting underneath the umbrellas at
2:03
Starbucks but no one over at avocados
2:05
which is like the Mexican place they're
2:07
all everyone's inside for good
2:10
reasons and it's supposed to be raining
2:13
not only today but the next series of
2:15
days I think by me leaving the state I'm
2:17
going to avoid a lot of the rain that's
2:19
going to be rolling in all week now
2:22
there is some sort of shade from the
2:24
elements here not from the Sun but from
2:26
the elements of the rain clouds you got
2:29
these
2:30
newly
2:32
placed rocking chairs here they were put
2:34
out here a few months ago they replaced
2:36
all the wooden chairs and tables out
2:37
here so you can sit here I think I'm
2:40
just going to sit here for just a little
2:42
bit I haven't it's been a while since I
2:44
sat down here at Lake ryanard and just
2:46
kind of enjoyed the The View across
2:49
without being without being in the cart
2:51
cruising around or walking down Market
2:53
straet cheers one of the things I need
2:55
to do today is go to the library which I
2:58
looked up the hours there opened rather
2:59
are late so really no rush to get over
3:01
there need to print off some other stuff
3:04
my printer at home has not been working
3:05
lately I had some issues when I was
3:07
doing
3:13
my the water's dripping over there when
3:13
I was doing my taxes I had to go print a
3:15
bunch of stuff out there as well and
3:17
then when I was getting my passport the
3:19
the whole mess up that I had with the
3:22
passport talked about that a couple
3:23
weeks ago good news
3:25
is my passport is on its way it has been
3:29
approved and I will have a passport when
3:33
I get back all goes well long as it
3:36
doesn't get lost in the mail I will have
3:39
a passport that water keeps startling me
3:41
over there cuz it's like dripping and I
3:42
think someone is over there relieving
3:44
themselves
3:46
but sounds like it I should have my
3:48
passport soon which is going to make for
3:51
a fun
3:52
2025 of travels a
3:55
rejuvenation for myself which I think is
3:57
going to be much needed when it comes to
3:59
travel plans so that will be in the in
4:02
the way off future I've never really
4:04
been International I've been to Canada
4:07
before on tour when I was in a band I've
4:09
been to Mexico Tijana if you even want
4:10
to really consider that getting too far
4:13
out of the state cuz I didn't go any
4:15
further than
4:16
Tiana but the world will be my oyster
4:20
soon enough so I I'm looking forward to
4:22
that but today I need to go over to the
4:24
library print something else out to it's
4:27
like it has to do with me giving up the
4:29
apartment apartment here on Market
4:31
Street and purchasing the new Homestead
4:33
something that I neglected to do that
4:36
needs to be done but it has they need a
4:39
paper when it comes to the the the the
4:42
new place that even though everything
4:45
has been done for a few months there was
4:46
a couple things I needed to kind of tie
4:48
up some loose ends so I'm going to take
4:50
care of that and I can't print it out at
4:52
home so I got to do it do it at the
4:53
library fill it out and send that in as
4:56
well yeah it's 355 right now 8 2° it's
5:01
about 10 15° cooler than it was
5:04
yesterday in the last couple days
5:05
because there's not there's not any sun
5:08
out it's all clouded clouded and
5:11
rainy 100% chance of rain this hour the
5:15
next hour then it dips down to to 55 I'm
5:18
also going to go over to Publix I'm
5:19
going to get some veggies I'm going to
5:20
use the air fryer tonight I'm going to
5:22
watch a little raise baseball last night
5:24
they played game four against the
5:27
Baltimore Orioles they got swept against
5:29
the Baltimore Orioles at home it's a
5:31
night they play the Cubs I got to be
5:33
honest the the rays are not doing well
5:35
this year you know what kind of
5:38
stinks but i' I still love the team and
5:40
I'm still going to be finishing up my 30
5:43
stadiums it will have taken me if all
5:45
goes well it will have taken me 3 years
5:49
to accomplish that goal love the Rays
5:51
but yeah they're not doing good this
5:52
year oh Turtle alert I see the little
5:54
turtle head and the turtle shell peeking
5:56
up over the rain drip W it's going out
5:59
never mind the turtle is now submerged
6:02
the submerging of the turtle has been
6:05
documented I'm also having a little bit
6:07
of an issue with my phone I have an
6:08
iPhone I had the same problem before I
6:12
got my new phone that I have
6:14
now where I just I'm
6:17
constantly it's the phone will be in my
6:19
pocket and I'll pocket dial FaceTime
6:22
people just randomly I'll pull my phone
6:25
out of my pocket and I have called a
6:27
couple people on my contacts list and
6:29
it's it's really annoying I just wish
6:30
there was a way that I could not do
6:34
that at
6:42
all and I've looked into so basically I
6:42
I put my phone on airplan mode like
6:43
right now it's just sitting in the cup
6:45
holder so when I have it on me or it's
6:47
sitting stationary it's fine but if I
6:51
am walking like let's say in the park or
6:54
walking around the lake or just out and
6:56
about if I have it in my pocket and it's
6:57
not on airplane mode
7:00
I would
7:01
say five six times out of 10 three times
7:04
out of five I guess it' be the same as
7:06
six out of 10 I will end up calling
7:08
someone so what I do is I just turn it
7:10
on airplane mode I wish there was a way
7:12
I could just not receive or send calls
7:16
but I've looked into it and I can't
7:17
figure out how the heck to do it
7:19
also you know what those little things
7:21
right there are
7:27
for those little metal things on the
7:27
concrete to keep you from skateboarding
7:33
I don't want you doing like a rail slide
7:33
or
7:40
anything and of course sign signs
7:40
everywhere is signs yeah I basically
7:42
never want to call anyone or I never
7:44
want to get a call from anyone ever
7:47
unless it is planned like obviously if I
7:49
want to call someone I just want to be
7:51
able like okay now I want to make a call
7:53
and then turn that enable that but then
7:56
I don't want to always have my phone on
7:58
airplane mode so
8:06
I don't know maybe it's
8:06
just maybe there's no work
8:08
around I'm going keep looking into it
8:11
also big news on the camera front I use
8:16
the Canon g7x Mark
8:19
I have been for many many many years has
8:24
a lot of good points but it has a lot of
8:25
bad points which I'm sure anyone that's
8:27
watched my videos for a long period of
8:29
time
8:30
notices the negative and bad points
8:32
about
8:34
it on a constant basis I also have seen
8:39
that but it's time to move on or at
8:42
least attempt to move on from this
8:45
particular camera
8:47
setup and I thought that the new camera
8:51
that I am going to start using or test
8:53
out I thought it would be here in time
8:57
before I hit the road in a and two days
9:00
but I don't believe it's going to be
9:02
here I think it's on back order and
9:04
where I ordered it from it might not be
9:06
here in time so I might have to make D
9:09
with the g7x for the next couple weeks
9:11
but rest assured it is time to move on
9:15
the Canon
9:17
g7x and on to other pastures of camera
9:22
goodness of filming goodness and I'm
9:25
hoping it clears up a lot of things the
9:28
focus being the worst issue on the
9:32
g7x that's probably the biggest issue
9:35
and if that can be corrected I'll be
9:38
happy about that everything else is
9:39
great I like the zoom on it is awesome I
9:43
just wish there was a a perfect vlogging
9:45
camera I have not seen a perfect
9:47
vlogging camera seems like no matter
9:49
what you use it's always going to have
9:51
one maybe two
9:53
hiccups that make it imperfect new
9:55
camera setup soon passport renewal soon
9:59
international travel
10:02
soon hopefully better footage
10:08
soon I mean the footage on this is fine
10:08
but yeah just a little upgrade all right
10:11
I don't think I'd call well upgrade
10:12
might not be the right word it's just a
10:15
a changing of the grade not an upgrade
10:18
it's just still going to be a
10:21
moderately convenient type of item to
10:23
film with now I know they have like full
10:28
setups that you can get you know big
10:30
lenses huge microphones things like that
10:33
I don't really like to go that route
10:35
because this is just a daily Vlog and
10:37
some of the things that I go to film
10:40
trying to take bigger camera equipment
10:42
in doesn't really go too well we meet
10:45
again West Oola Library 305 that must be
10:49
the address part of the Oola Library
10:52
System I'm going in I got to print off a
10:55
piece of paper fill it out and send it
10:58
somewhere
11:10
am underneath this tree which isn't
11:10
really shielding from the rain at all
11:12
also leaving my coffee in the car or at
11:15
the car in the
11:17
cart shouldn't be in here too long
11:19
shouldn't be here too long at all
11:20
hopefully
11:34
50 love this little windsh wiper it only
11:34
covers a small portion of the front but
11:37
you know what it works hidden hardware
11:40
store celebration
11:42
Hardware around the
11:44
back of the original Publix's Plaza
11:47
which is over here on Highway
11:49
192 nine times out of 10 actually
11:52
probably 99 out of 100 well 73 out of
11:57
100 I don't know where I'm getting these
11:58
numbers I will go to the other
12:01
Publix which is on World Drive except
12:04
that is the one road there's a mail
12:06
truck they deliver for
12:14
us that's the backside of water well
12:14
there is water on the ground at the back
12:15
side of the original Publix's on 192
12:17
there's a second one that opened year
12:20
ago 6 months ago over on world drive
12:24
that's the one that's closer to where my
12:27
proximity Is and I like the art deco
12:30
style of
12:31
it but I cannot take mini Marge my
12:34
glorified golf cart on that road because
12:37
the speed limit is 40 I can only go on
12:39
all the other streets around celebration
12:41
that are posted at 35 or
12:44
less so that's the rules there's only
12:47
one Road in town I can't take it on and
12:49
that's the one that goes over to Island
12:50
village and World Drive I drove it down
12:54
the sidewalk once and I realized
12:55
probably shouldn't be doing that anymore
12:57
so I just don't take the card over there
13:00
take it everywhere else but not
13:03
there speaking of construction
13:06
update you get a little Peak over
13:09
here o did I take this thing through the
13:12
did I take this thing through the car
13:15
wash that's the Chick-fil-A construction
13:19
over there can't go any farther than
13:20
this can't go through the exit see it
13:22
Gators in there am I seeing any
13:26
gators come on Gators where you at
13:34
see some trash a lot of
13:34
trash it's never good to say oh there's
13:36
a duck there's a duck cleaning up the
13:53
lake look at this sewage tunnel over
13:53
here that looks something like Pennywise
13:56
would crawl out of that's like something
13:57
out of it
13:59
oh my gosh like something out of a
14:01
horror
14:02
film we all float down here we all
14:07
float you'll float down
14:10
here you'll float
14:13
too par now at Water Tower Plaza believe
14:17
that's the name of the
14:22
development I got to say I kind of just
14:22
like going to the library and printing
14:24
off my
14:25
stuff pretty it's definitely not a lot
14:28
of stress
14:30
and pretty inexpensive all right that
14:31
was a fail I did not
14:33
get anything for the air fryer I went
14:36
with more salad stuff I don't know why I
14:39
just crave the salads the
14:41
chickpeas a little
14:44
hummus and cottage cheese I would say
14:47
when I'm home that is pretty much what
14:50
I've been eating every night I eat once
14:52
a day around dinner time and I'll just
14:56
do the salad chickpeas
14:59
cottage
15:01
cheese and a little hummus and some
15:03
snack
15:05
crackers that's my that's my go-to habit
15:08
it is weird I'm a creature of habit so
15:11
if I eat halfway decent on a regular
15:15
basis that's what I start craving I
15:17
start craving the halfway decent foods
15:19
but if I eat poorly for just a few days
15:22
that becomes the Habit thankfully I have
15:26
gotten away from those habits and
15:28
developed
15:29
I guess it's worst case scenario if I
15:32
want to sit and watch a baseball game
15:33
when I'm home obviously when I'm on the
15:35
road I try to go to a away games or
15:37
drive over to Tropicana Field which
15:39
lately traffic has been so horrible to
15:41
St Pete I'd rather just go elsewhere and
15:44
see them at a way stadiums
16:02
sometimes when I'm in my golf cart I
16:02
feel like Brooks I'm Shang the world
16:06
went got itself in a big damn
16:15
hurry only when I'm in my golf cart the
16:15
rest of the time I'm the one in a hurry
16:17
and a rush
16:34
yeah I'm going to go home sit in front
16:34
of my TV watch the Rays maybe
16:38
win one thing I have
16:41
realized it's probably the least
16:44
stressful season that I have rooted for
16:46
the
16:47
Rays because they are not in the running
16:49
for the postseason yet they're still
16:52
what 90 95 games left give or
16:55
take so they could be still a long ways
16:58
to go go but they have made the post
17:00
they've been in the postseason
17:10
running pretty much every season they're
17:10
in the postseason running from the start
17:12
so you're always like well they got to
17:13
keep their position in the rankings of
17:15
the AL East right now they're in last
17:17
place as I'm filming
17:19
this so really I just enjoy watching the
17:22
game hearing the commentators watching
17:25
the game play and I'm not stressed as
17:28
stressed about them staying up in the
17:31
rankings I don't know if that makes any
17:33
sense but I'm kind of enjoying the fact
17:36
that they're just a a regular
17:38
run-of-the-mill team right now now as
17:41
the season goes on I want them to get a
17:43
little do a little better but it's kind
17:45
of nice not having that stressful oh wow
17:48
if they lose this game they're out of
17:50
they're out of contention they're not
17:52
even in contention and there's something
17:54
to be said for that as a as a a viewer
17:58
as a supporter of the Tampa Bay
18:01
race I want him to go to the postseason
18:05
so that's how I feel right now in a
18:07
month or so they need to step their game
18:10
up you know I purchased a house the end
18:12
of last year so it's already almost been
18:16
half a year since I've bought a home
18:18
bought a
18:19
house not quite but yeah pretty close
18:22
well yeah it's been half a
18:25
year kind of half a
18:27
year also the speed limit through here
18:29
is 25 glorified golf cart mini Marge
18:32
does not go over
18:34
25 reserved 10 minute parking I won't be
18:37
down here more than 10
18:48
minutes they're going to be down here
18:48
about 2 minutes just want to stop by the
18:50
fountain which is operational today the
18:52
other day it wasn't
18:53
on we got the mail earlier now we got
18:56
UPS delivery everywhere the end of last
18:59
year when I started getting the wheels
19:01
in motion to purchase my house I thought
19:04
yeah I'm going to I'm going to build a
19:06
woodo a studio that room is still
19:09
sitting empty it has my couch that used
19:11
to be at my apartment which was right up
19:13
here third floor right up here very
19:16
heavy couch the whole living room set I
19:19
ordered new furniture but I have a room
19:21
oh neat the lights are twinkling
19:43
out but I thought I thought by January
19:43
even February I would start doing more
19:46
of like a video podcast type thing deep
19:49
Dives things like that to be honest I
19:52
don't know when that's ever going to
19:53
happen I know it will happen but I've
19:55
been giving it a lot of thought lately
19:57
especially with next year international
19:59
travel and things like
20:01
that but I've kind of given it a little
20:03
bit of thought on when I'm going to
20:05
start doing more non-traveling at home
20:10
Deep dive interview podcast me talking
20:13
about stuff staying home and not hitting
20:15
the road and I know it will happen I
20:18
just don't know when it'll happen and it
20:20
is not anything that I am considering
20:23
being in a rush to make happen kind of
20:27
as I started to think about it a little
20:28
bit more don't know if I want to step
20:31
away from the
20:32
travels completely step away from the
20:35
travels
20:36
and stanion myself stick myself in one
20:40
particular spot when that is the type of
20:42
content that later in
20:45
life will kind of just morph itself into
20:49
and I don't know if I'm ready to
20:51
completely step away from the travel
20:53
type of Vlogs I I love again I probably
20:57
when you know after this year I've
20:59
already stated the the every single day
21:01
there will be days off but I don't know
21:03
how many days off obviously if I go on
21:06
cruises and things like that the Wi-Fi
21:09
will be an issue if I'm doing a 7-Day
21:11
Cruise won't be able to upload upload
21:13
during those S days there are Wi-Fi on
21:15
cruises and things like that when you
21:17
travel overseas International but
21:19
sometimes it can get a little wacky so
21:22
that will be the scenario of me not
21:23
being able to to do this on an every
21:26
single day basis after 2024
21:29
but I still want to still want to hit
21:30
the road want to do international
21:32
travels things like that but as far as
21:35
staying put in one particular spot and
21:37
completely uprooting this format
21:40
switching it up I don't know if that's
21:42
going to happen for a little while it
21:44
will happen in its own due time but I
21:47
don't really need this is only this is
21:49
this is thinking out loud for me to just
21:52
do a hard cut and start something
21:55
completely different when been doing
21:57
this for a long time
21:59
and it's kind of it's kind of morphed
22:01
into what it is and we just kind of kind
22:03
of see where it goes that's what I'm
22:04
thinking right now this I could change
22:06
my thoughts I change my mind all the
22:08
time so this could change in a week but
22:10
the thought of getting the passport
22:12
finishing this baseball Series which if
22:15
all goes well by the end of this season
22:16
I will have done all 30 stadiums while
22:18
rooting for the Tampa Bay Rays which
22:20
that I mentioned there are in last place
22:21
in the alast currently but they will be
22:23
they will the season's still moderately
22:26
early but once that is out of the way
22:29
the travel plans will be a little little
22:32
easier because I'm not having to go to a
22:34
certain stadium that they're not going
22:35
to be at for two more years that's the
22:37
way the baseball season Works some of
22:38
the stadiums if I don't knock them off
22:40
this year I had to wait till 2026 until
22:42
they play at that stadium so I want to
22:44
get it done this year after that into
22:46
next year I won't have any of that
22:48
holding me back and I can utilize that
22:51
passport start doing more car road trips
22:54
and really kind of change things up a
22:56
breath of fresh air which I know a lot
22:58
of people watching probably need that to
23:00
kind of be peppered into you know what I
23:03
do and trust me I need it to I get it I
23:06
I I do get it but with everything
23:09
sometimes it's just a natural evolution
23:11
of the way things
23:12
go all right I'm going to get back to
23:15
house watch the game and eat some food
23:19
