today's adventure begins here in
0:02
Celebration Florida as the recording of
0:04
this it is Sunday April 23rd
0:07
2023 the roads are closed because each
0:10
and every Sunday they block off Market
0:13
Street
0:15
four
0:16
a little I don't call it flea market
0:18
it's more of like an art market
0:20
and fruit sand and farmer's market they
0:25
do out here each and every Sunday I will
0:27
not be partaking of this too much today
0:29
in fact I am making an impulsive trip
0:31
over to Saint Pete only because I had a
0:36
plan
0:37
to go over to orlampa which is halfway
0:40
between Orlando and Tampa to an
0:42
attraction
0:43
that is never when I say never should
0:46
say rarely open fantasy of flight and
0:49
then from there
0:50
I'm gonna pop over and watch the third
0:53
game of the White Sox race series but
0:55
it's not I'm not going to put much
0:56
baseball footage in today it's going to
0:57
be mostly about fantasy a flight which I
0:59
am surprised is open
1:01
was open yesterday and today it's very
1:03
rare that they open their doors I'm
1:05
gonna go check it out if they want to
1:06
for a while there's been times it's been
1:08
closed for like a year or two at a time
1:10
and then they're like reopen and open
1:12
back up for like a month or two and then
1:15
be closed for six months
1:18
and from what I was reading they were
1:20
open yesterday and today from 11 to 3.
1:22
up it's 10 25 right now so by the time I
1:25
get over there it should be 11.
1:27
and they're open the rest of this month
1:28
only on the weekends for four hours a
1:30
day and then after that they're going to
1:32
be closed till the end of June so I
1:34
gotta hit it up welcome everyone Adam
1:37
the woo here my voice is still just a
1:39
little bit hoarse from screaming and
1:41
yelling from a walk-off home run that
1:43
the Rays got two nights ago I did not go
1:46
to the game yesterday they walked it off
1:48
again and they are undefeated at home so
1:51
if
1:52
kind of gets eventful towards the end of
1:54
the game we'll pull the camera out film
1:55
a little bit towards the end of the game
1:56
tonight but it's not going to be a
1:57
baseball Vlog as stated but I'll pepper
2:00
it in at the end so if you only want to
2:01
see a baseball skip to the end if you
2:02
don't want to see a baseball don't watch
2:04
the item inviting you to join me
2:06
shall you really love living down here
2:09
they just really have a good Community
2:11
aspect always doing events look at this
2:13
little dog walking around down here all
2:15
right must fuel before making the
2:17
commute
2:19
same price as it was the other day
2:21
377 a gallon I also
2:24
I also got a water here for the road I
2:26
thought if there's any calories in this
2:27
this is a Mountain Water art deco
2:30
7-Eleven and this is always a little
2:33
backed up through here I-4 Westbound but
2:35
not too bad at this hour on a Sunday
2:42
also
2:42
I've done six days at the gym
2:52
I'm feeling pretty good the last couple
2:52
you want to follow along with my weight
2:54
loss and treadmill Journey
2:57
post stories on Instagram Adam the woo
3:00
atw on Instagram
3:03
adamu atw on Instagram I'll I post every
3:06
time I'm on the treadmill to keep myself
3:08
accountable if you're interested it's a
3:10
little bit of a backup up here but once
3:12
I get past Mickey power pole and
3:14
Champions Gate exit it clears up a
3:16
little bit
3:17
I feel like it'll be smooth sailing over
3:19
to Fantasy of flight and hopefully
3:21
because less traffic on a Sunday should
3:24
be able to give it a trot time for first
3:26
pitch it'll be close though
3:29
Sirens coming by
3:31
I don't know big the foot your guess is
3:33
good it is mine with that sign says it's
3:36
covered up have veered off I-4 a little
3:39
RV park up here and a water tower
3:42
checkerboarded Water Tower
3:45
up there
3:47
evidently the guy that owns this
3:48
property has a lot of land out here
3:55
wonderful be here today that'd be cool
3:55
and I'm not the only one arriving
3:58
fantasy a flight
4:01
we are the past
4:08
I like history I like Nostalgia and I
4:08
like the past that big bunker over there
4:20
okay I always like these these remind me
4:20
of like Old Route 66 or roadside style
4:23
where they have the words along the side
4:25
of the road from high
4:28
you can see it already from here
4:30
it's hello
4:40
Lookouts
4:40
he's gonna probably say below
4:48
ah there's birds going by too
4:48
how fitting
4:50
well from what I was reading there's a
4:52
lot of facilities out here and the only
4:54
one that's open is this big bunker right
4:57
here there's probably like six other
4:59
cars that opened at 11 it is 11 18.
5:03
at the moment but you can see there's a
5:05
lot more down that way that's all
5:07
blocked off
5:09
look at this thing
5:21
right next to the parking area the 1957
5:21
Lockheed Constellation l1649
5:25
Starliner this was the state-of-the-art
5:28
transatlantic airliner from the
5:30
beginning of the Jedi just that sign
5:31
says
5:32
and as it states right there on the side
5:34
where Lampa gets halfway between Orlando
5:38
and Tampa
5:48
going in this state's active Runway
5:52
I don't know if planes take off and land
5:54
from here
5:55
at the moment
5:56
wow look over there
5:58
I don't think that's part of the open
6:00
facility
6:11
saw a couple of the couple videos the
6:11
guy that owned this place
6:13
he was saying originally
6:16
when he opened that he wanted it to be
6:18
like a bustling tourist destination and
6:21
even said that in the future he would
6:23
like it to be that but as of right now
6:27
it just scored off what I was reading
6:28
also I would interview
6:35
but as of right now occasionally opened
6:35
is this building when I say occasionally
6:37
it's pretty dang rare
6:40
I've passed by this so many times that
6:42
it's always close this even has a sweet
6:44
Art Deco look I always kind of refer to
6:46
this as like old Hollywood style it's
6:48
not really Hollywood but Hollywood has a
6:50
lot of Art Deco because I lived
6:52
on Hollywood Boulevard for a couple
6:54
years
6:55
it all this this Art Deco style always
6:57
reminds me of Hollywood
6:58
that's what I referred to as art deco
6:59
and also Hollywood style
7:02
calling it the world's greatest aircraft
7:05
collection
7:07
all right I have walked in this is the
7:10
gift shop in here oh yeah take a look or
7:14
Lampa right here
7:22
I like this all of life is a school that
7:22
is really
7:23
Gratz a good shirt
7:26
I might have to buy a t-shirt from here
7:29
I might have to go that's I like that I
7:31
like that
7:32
city of Orlando
7:38
yeah I'm gonna grab that shirt on the
7:38
way out
7:49
this is the guy that owns the place here
7:49
Kermit weeks is his name
7:52
right here Kermit weeks
8:01
oh man I love that they really promoting
8:01
the word Lampa that's great might have
8:04
to get a stick
8:13
there's a little sculpture here a winged
8:13
guy with this fantasy of flight and this
8:16
is their logo
8:18
statement we are the past we are the
8:20
present
8:21
and they are the future
8:36
all right I am in here there is the the
8:36
creeps a mighty third
8:40
pager George E pretty oh these fans are
8:43
the same ones that they have at Indiana
8:45
Jones son spectacular they have an
8:47
interesting name
8:49
I have an interesting name the company
8:51
that makes those this is an i
8:53
Tommy and of course it says you're not
8:55
supposed to touch anything so I will not
8:57
be touching and I like this they do
8:59
guided tours but I think the guided tour
9:01
is going to be a little time consuming
9:09
two minutes for the guy to tour but I
9:09
asked the cashier up front if I could
9:10
just go around my own accord she said oh
9:13
yeah that's perfectly fine just go
9:14
around
9:15
take your own photos you're free to take
9:17
photos sure you take videos in here
9:25
I would like to come back one day
9:25
and meet Kermit weeks I believe his last
9:29
name is
9:31
I would like to meet him and possibly
9:33
have him show me around but I don't know
9:34
I don't know if he ever does
9:37
if he ever does anything like that where
9:39
kind of shows people around I don't even
9:40
know if he's ever really here that often
9:52
the Aina
9:52
making Bell
9:58
Orlando Air Force Base take a look at
9:58
this this is the Orlando Air Force Base
10:00
antique vehicle
10:06
this Cadillac
10:06
a little caddy here
10:15
this is pretty awesome this is some
10:15
relics of the past look at this
10:19
really amazing
10:26
an Old Navy plane number five right
10:26
there
10:31
and not just the not just the airplanes
10:31
but a lot of engines like a Packard a to
10:33
150 V12
10:36
water cooled engine one built by Jesse
10:38
Vincent chief engineer Packard after
10:40
World War One
10:42
Packard use the Liberty as a starting
10:44
point for the a1500 I don't know a lot
10:46
about engines
10:53
that's why I'm really glad that a lot of
10:53
places will kind of Share info like this
10:56
you know life's about learning you just
10:58
want to
10:59
kind of learn as you go even if it's
11:01
something you're not like completely
11:03
knowledgeable about it's great that
11:05
places like this exist
11:12
and kind of share history
11:12
and out here it says no access
11:18
but for a long time you couldn't even
11:18
peek in here this door was not even open
11:21
you drove down I-4
11:27
the savoia
11:27
marchetti
11:29
this is very interesting so you have the
11:32
propeller up here you have the wings
11:34
across and then you have the pilot and
11:38
possibly co-pilot or person riding along
11:40
in the little section there at the
11:44
front
11:45
down below
11:50
the American aeronautical Corporation
11:50
the AAC
11:57
okay here's a little bit more info
11:57
it was one of six built under license
11:59
for the U.S
12:01
used by the New York the NYC police
12:04
department during prohibition to
12:06
intercept run Smugglers
12:09
wow
12:11
now that's pretty interesting imagine
12:13
you're a rum Smuggler in New York and
12:17
this thing comes swooping down out of
12:19
the sky I mean they're probably just
12:20
using it for like aerial views to like
12:21
see what's going on but
12:23
how would that work
12:25
like a pointing out being like you're
12:28
get you got the rub
12:29
get him get him boys the beat 24j
12:34
liberator
12:35
it was designed for the replacement of
12:38
the B-17
12:39
Flying Fortress
12:49
I love the style of these you know it
12:49
kind of has that classic Vibe like I
12:51
like looking at classic cars and I like
12:54
classic planes I mean that is pretty
12:56
dang
12:57
good to look at that's some good eye
12:58
candy right there
13:07
and it wasn't that much to get in here
13:07
it was like 12 or 13 bucks with tax and
13:10
all that so really the price
13:12
not too bad to do a guided tour
13:15
which probably as you go along will take
13:18
considerable portion of time to be
13:20
walked around and shared the info with
13:22
each one probably we'll get some nuggets
13:24
of info but they don't share on here
13:29
maybe I'll go over there and catch a
13:31
little bit of info
13:33
but I am definitely more of a
13:34
self-guided
13:36
kind of guy and you can see those people
13:38
a lot of people doing the self-guided as
13:40
opposed to the guided tour
13:42
just like I am this is look at this
13:44
thing
13:45
this is really incredible
13:48
this antique airplanes
13:56
there's a little tiny one down there as
13:56
well
14:08
of the 711 Sarah
14:08
as stated on the side there the 7-Eleven
14:11
Sarah and it is fairly obvious but the
14:14
do not touch but they have re-signified
14:17
and reiterated themselves do not touch
14:20
this and do not turn this propeller
14:23
as tempting as it is to just grab that
14:26
thing and give it a pull because I think
14:28
I've seen movies let me start some of
14:30
these probably not this one but some of
14:31
the older aircrafts you pull it you
14:33
start it up that way you would you would
14:35
you would go over here you would grab
14:37
the propeller get it going
14:40
seen TV shows and films this one has to
14:44
appears to have a grasshopper on the
14:48
side this is the Grumman
14:51
F3
14:53
F2
14:56
a Grumman biplane the last in the line
14:59
of Grumman
15:00
pipelines and I do believe that is an
15:03
insect of some sort let me zoom in
15:15
grasshopper with a hat this is just the
15:15
shell it's made out of wood
15:26
a Lockheed Vega the Vega was the 72nd to
15:26
be purchased by Lockheed
15:31
pain into the scheme of the original
15:31
winning May is that the same
15:33
am I looking at the same thing
15:39
here are some of Kermit's comments when
15:39
I acquired this aircraft and I haven't
15:40
flown in years I need to be looked at I
15:42
don't think that that is what I'm
15:43
looking at
15:54
might just be the shell of it there's
15:54
another wooden plane over there I'm
15:55
gonna take a look at that
16:10
this one has the Insignia on the side
16:10
the can but not the Insignia that's the
16:12
Insignia what I'm referring to is the
16:14
candy Clipper logo up top a lot of them
16:17
have nicknames this one is the candy
16:20
Clipper I always like the artwork
16:22
that are on the side this is called the
16:25
Grumman duck
16:28
first in a long line of seaplanes okay
16:31
this is a seaplane
16:41
as you can see it almost has like a boat
16:41
like
16:43
area here you know when I think of seep
16:45
lines I think of the Water World stunt
16:46
show Universal Hollywood with a seaplane
16:48
kind of blasts over the top this is this
16:51
is kind of that version of it
16:54
you know similar a seaplane is a z plane
16:56
but
16:58
that's what it reminds me of
17:10
another little tinier version here
17:10
this one's called The Winston Churchill
17:50
and pretty much that whole thing except
17:50
the engine is made completely out of
17:52
wood
17:54
obviously the engine isn't
17:57
and the tires are
18:12
some of the specs on it your built was
18:12
originally 1917 reproduction in 2000 and
18:16
who knows wingspan of 43 feet six inches
18:19
top speed of 128 miles per hour weighing
18:24
in at 3 500 pounds
18:52
this one which I showed a minute ago was
18:52
powered by wasp
19:04
and not only are they the full-size
19:04
pliers but there's also little models up
19:06
top little miniature versions like maybe
19:08
1 8 scale or one tenth scale
19:11
some sort of a scale a good view right
19:13
there in the middle of the doorway of
19:15
that water tower it's kind of silhouette
19:17
silhouetted out in here because it's so
19:18
bright outside and a little shaded in
19:21
here but as I turn the camera it kind of
19:23
comes more into light
19:33
so this one has some of the specs on the
19:33
back wing
19:35
empty
19:36
866 pounds
19:39
pilot weighs 170. I weigh a little bit
19:41
more than that
19:43
I don't know if I'll ever get down to
19:44
one side I think I weighed 170 when I
19:47
was a teenager and I was really way too
19:49
skinny for my height at 6 30. this has
19:51
two birds on the side of it skyways
19:53
Incorporated skyways eight number 400 a
19:57
layered super solution
20:21
and the wing
20:21
underneath is like blocking Olive and
20:24
it's like this would provide a lot of
20:25
shade outside
20:31
so even a Jeep in here
20:31
look at this nice sex open out of Star
20:32
Wars
20:34
a picture of Skywalker in that thing
20:48
now it appears as if all of these you're
20:48
allowed to get in I know because there's
20:49
a family behind me and they are in
20:52
they're in another one taking photos
20:54
evidently all of these are able to be
20:57
gotten inside of
20:59
in fact an attraction on a higher plane
21:02
there's even a little
21:07
there's even a little walk up here
21:12
you see over there there's people inside
21:12
that one so I am just assuming that this
21:15
one
21:16
this one and those two
21:19
are for tourists to sit inside of so I'm
21:23
going to take the helm down here
21:25
I'm gonna take the hell this is what
21:27
it's like
21:32
this is what it would be like to be in
21:33
the cockpit
21:34
looking out
21:43
all the gears nose up elevation tab nose
21:43
right
21:44
could be turned like this
21:54
Park
21:54
and then you got the
22:01
I guess break or I don't know what they
22:01
want usually I have my aviators on but I
22:03
haven't worn classes in like a week I
22:04
broke the last pair and I haven't
22:06
re-bought them
22:07
I feel like Tom Cruise in here if I had
22:09
my aviators call me Maverick
22:12
or Adam the wheel either one now I flew
22:15
on a plane about this size once years
22:17
ago
22:18
myself and Tim tracker went up with a
22:20
friend of his who's a pilot went over
22:23
Magic Kingdom a pretty dang close to
22:25
Magic Kingdom and a three-man plane they
22:28
sat up front I sat in the back and let
22:31
me tell you it was a little scary being
22:34
in a plane this small
22:41
I was pretty frightened I didn't really
22:41
but I did it
22:42
faced my fears but it was really yeah it
22:44
was about the size of the size of this
22:46
of course there was a tail on it
22:57
oh I like this one
22:57
Miss Los Angeles
23:19
also nicknamed Missy
23:19
ah
23:20
this is not an original this is a
23:22
replica built by Bill Turner renowned
23:25
replica of the golden age of racers
23:34
and this was featured in that book
23:34
all of life is a school according to
23:36
this it holds the record for inverted
23:38
speed record
23:43
there's one next to it massive
23:47
massive
23:50
I mean I fly a lot on Commercial planes
23:52
and that that's pales in comparison size
23:54
when I do a commercial plane but just
23:56
seeing this up close inside this hangar
23:59
it really is pretty pretty amazing
24:09
number 39 there it is right there pilot
24:09
Harold Newman and Ike
24:12
in 1935 this is Ike
24:22
a lot to see on here a lot more than I
24:22
was expecting
24:23
I thought there's gonna be a couple
24:24
planes
24:25
just I mean
24:27
I can't imagine what else is hiding on
24:29
this property oh is this like you think
24:31
this is what all the wands like notches
24:33
you know some people put like notches on
24:35
their bed posts
24:41
this is what kind of this is this is all
24:41
the different
24:43
planes I don't know maybe
24:57
so I guess the notches on the bed post
24:57
wasn't a bad analogy
25:14
take a peek inside awesome
25:14
this kind of reminds me when I went to
25:16
the valley years ago my mom and I went
25:18
to the Reagan Museum the library and
25:21
they have Air Force One in there and you
25:23
can go up and look into where the pilots
25:25
were in Air Force One
25:32
a great museum just to see Air Force One
25:32
like that just really cool
25:44
I'm gonna say if anyone's in the area
25:44
and they are interested in antique
25:46
vehicles
25:47
or aircraft or both
25:50
I highly recommend this place for just a
25:52
little above ten dollars twelve dollars
25:54
with tax if it's on the weekend and
25:56
they're open obviously check the inner
25:58
webs check out their site make sure
25:59
they're open if they are just swing in
26:01
you don't have to do the guided tour
26:03
even if you're just going from Tampa to
26:04
Orlando or Lampa which is where this is
26:07
located
26:08
just stop in for a little bit an hour
26:10
browse around
26:12
and just support a place that's really
26:14
cool like it's pretty pretty interesting
26:15
and it's right off of Interstate right
26:18
off of I-4 so it's just like two minutes
26:20
off of the off of the main freeway
26:23
it's a cool place
26:39
classic Carl oh look at this
26:39
Roosevelt for president
26:42
that sticker's still on there
26:57
for me obviously the you know the
26:57
building of these planes just like the
27:00
style the antiqueness of them is awesome
27:03
but I really like you know the artwork
27:06
on the sides for me like the Curtis
27:09
Robin over there I just like the artwork
27:18
it kind of It kind of adds to it for me
27:18
this is interesting too the little like
27:20
bubbles here on the front where the
27:39
this is also interesting this is an old
27:39
bicycle notice it has Kermit's last name
27:41
weeks Air Museum
27:43
tkw possibly the old name
27:48
before it was fantasy at flight it was
27:49
the weeks Air Museum or he had a
27:52
different location before he moved here
27:53
either way this is an old bicycle I bet
27:56
Kermit was probably riding around on
27:58
that thing at one point almost looks
28:00
like a
28:01
I'll call it a Zamboni but it's like one
28:03
of those things you know when you go to
28:04
a convention and you park a long way
28:05
away and someone rides up a guy rides up
28:07
on a bike it says hey you want to ride
28:09
it's like five bucks to jump in the back
28:10
a rickshaw
28:13
that's what I'm thinking of it looks
28:14
like a rickshaw it's like a rickshaw of
28:17
sorts
28:18
foreign
28:32
this one's very shiny take a look down
28:32
here there actually is some oil dripping
28:34
out down from the oil and coolant drain
28:46
you know I really as I look at it and
28:48
think about it a little more in all
28:49
seriousness
28:50
I think what those are are
28:54
captures or destroys
28:57
there's tanks on the side of that here
28:59
on the side of the Winston Churchill
29:00
there's like a rooster right there on
29:02
the side I believe that's what that is
29:04
after they accomplish
29:07
accomplish taking one they'll mark it
29:09
and paint it on the side
29:26
and the plane that this is in front of
29:27
is named after Mage major George pready
29:33
this is him right here he's got a bust
29:35
after himself
29:37
one of the top 10 Aces
29:43
well actually no he's not in the top 10
29:43
ice I don't see him on there
29:46
if he was a complete fighter pilot
30:00
and the P probably represents his last
30:00
name pretty
30:02
and his name is also inscribed on the
30:04
side major George okay back in the gift
30:06
shop now
30:08
look at some of these stuffed items that
30:10
are here there's the ostrich
30:12
that I saw in there
30:14
this kind of reminds me of cars right
30:16
doesn't that kind of remind me wasn't
30:17
there a Planes movie I think there was a
30:19
play I never saw it but I saw cars
30:22
if it was a plane it's awesome that
30:24
reminds me of
30:26
what if there's any tie-in
30:31
probably not all right was gonna get
30:31
that shirt up clearly all the life is a
30:33
school Z but the only sizes they have in
30:37
the blue I like the blue is 2X
30:40
I don't know if I want to get the 2x I
30:42
mean I guess I could but it'd be like
30:43
really bad game I'm trying to try to
30:45
slim down to an X
30:47
so I don't know if I'm going to get that
30:49
but I do really like this shirt a lot
30:52
maybe if I come back at another point
30:53
though they'll have it
30:55
I like the ostrich one too I like that I
30:57
like that green
30:59
and I've heard this phrase but I've
31:01
never heard it with might I've always
31:03
heard it with loose links loose lips
31:06
sink ships
31:07
but this is this is giving kind of a and
31:10
maybe it will maybe maybe loose lips
31:12
won't sink ships they might they may or
31:14
may not be you just never know
31:16
Maybe
31:19
I mean I don't know yeah so it's a good
31:21
phrase not to have loose lips I'm Gonna
31:23
Keep all your business or someone else's
31:25
business to yourself mind your own p's
31:28
and q's my drone beeswax that's what
31:30
they're trying to say
31:36
what the heck don't worry be naked
31:36
bumper stickers here oh I like this God
31:38
is my co-pilot that's pretty cool
31:41
that's pretty cool
31:50
Born to Fly
31:55
I do want to buy some stuff obviously to
31:55
support the places I visit and they have
31:57
pins in here so I'm gonna get that
31:59
bumper sticker and I'm gonna get this
32:00
pin that is six bucks take the bumper
32:03
sticker this is a orlampa pen there it's
32:08
upside down bumper sticker was 225.
32:11
so I'm gonna get a couple things pretty
32:13
dang awesome yeah those are two items I
32:16
got and they gave me a bag got a pin
32:18
didn't have the shirt size I wanted but
32:20
I would have probably bought that shirt
32:22
and I-4 is just right over there so I'm
32:24
gonna get back on I-4 I think I'm just
32:26
barely
32:27
gonna make it for first pitch and
32:29
traffic is good and over here in the
32:30
parking lot check out this classic car
32:32
alert
32:34
very nice
32:36
riding in style got the windows down
32:39
it's called The Judge
32:42
there's a little inscription down here
32:43
next to the tires
32:50
again highly recommend stopping in here
32:53
I was in there about an hour
32:56
you don't want to do the guided tour you
32:57
don't have to do the guided tour but
32:58
there's a lot to see
33:06
so glad that was open
33:06
I've been wanting to go in there for a
33:08
long time I think I went there about six
33:09
or seven years ago
33:14
and I it's been so long I didn't even
33:15
remember it and since I've wanted to go
33:16
back
33:18
it wasn't open so I am so glad they were
33:20
open today it is a rare occasion
33:35
I-4 traffic not being kind
33:36
of this section it does give me a chance
33:38
however
33:39
to just slowly crawl by this boat
33:43
that's off to the side of the road this
33:45
boat I guess it used to be an old
33:46
restaurant
33:51
right off the off ramp here
33:51
before dinosaur world it's all tagged up
33:54
spray painted it's an old boat
34:00
been there forever as far back as I can
34:00
remember next to the boat it's like a
34:02
big bowl
34:09
okay I got parking over here was ten
34:09
dollars which isn't too bad the Shop's
34:11
only been
34:13
only been charging 20 but I grabbed this
34:15
spot probably a good thing I did because
34:17
I don't even think I could have gone
34:18
that way
34:21
I hit a bad wreck
34:23
once I got into the St Pete area
34:26
and really helped me out first pitch
34:28
just happened so probably get in there
34:31
by the start of the end of the first
34:33
start of the second I'm not sure why
34:35
they got this closed off to park at the
34:37
regular area
34:38
a Tropicana oh yeah off on the horizon
34:42
it's like a beacon it looks like it
34:44
might be dog day at the field today
34:45
sometimes they let people bring their
34:47
pets in certain areas
34:49
it's also very foreign for me not to get
34:51
here two hours before first pitch but I
34:55
have things to do
35:00
I had to hit the gym first off
35:00
which I am not neglecting to do every
35:01
day I'm trying to get that habit going
35:03
back up and then also fantasy a flight
35:07
and traffic does not help at all they
35:10
have the best record in baseball right
35:11
now 18-3 13 I believe there's 13 of
35:15
those games have been here at home they
35:16
have not lost at home yet so far this
35:17
season and if they win this game they
35:20
will have swept
35:22
the White Sox with it as well as every
35:23
other team they played at Honda so far
35:25
this year getting that sweep all right
35:27
Chris from aimless Adventures has
35:28
arrived also you ready for this uh for
35:31
this sweep of the socks this house this
35:34
could be a house sweeping moment just
35:36
doesn't that's happening here so far
35:37
this year undefeated at home let's
35:40
let's all right arriving at the top of
35:43
the second inning
35:45
it is a pretty good crowd in here look
36:11
railing with the second inning home run
36:11
shot
36:22
when following along yesterday they
36:22
broke the record 21 games in a row with
36:24
a home run breaking the MLB all-time
36:25
recording that's 22. with the home run
36:30
no words nothing cork is now incestors
36:36
it's a Tampa j-line
36:43
Harold Ramirez
36:47
Cameron Harold Barrel Premiere as coming
36:51
in hot
36:52
that is now four to zero
36:57
boom
37:06
unbelievable all right now over to the
37:06
first base Food Hall
37:08
where kaido one is becoming a tradition
37:11
for me I want to try to find something
37:13
that's moderately healthy and one thing
37:16
I always vote for is the impasto Italian
37:19
inspired wraps and the grilled chicken
37:22
is usually my go-to I'm really sure
37:24
what do you think the healthiest lowest
37:27
calorie one would be if you had to
37:29
choose
37:30
I think I always go to grill chicken if
37:33
you think there's something else that
37:34
would be like on par
37:41
the same on both sides I don't know I
37:41
think chicken would probably be yeah I
37:43
am way too excited about eating these
37:46
now I think if I probably didn't get the
37:48
sauce on it would probably be a little
37:51
lost but this is what the inside look
37:53
like here
37:55
and tomatoes onions some sauce
37:59
chicken
38:00
you got the same thing right I did this
38:03
is my first party with this place
39:12
haven't broken enough records he just
39:12
has the record in MLB for the most
39:14
innings in a row without a runoff the
39:18
records so they're hard to keep track of
39:20
at this point
39:27
you know what the Rays need to do
39:27
play some real teams so everyone keeps
39:29
telling me
39:55
let's go
39:55
hit him up
40:10
sweet sweet sweet
40:11
there it is
40:13
they haven't lost it all happened
40:35
I really like this shirt too but I think
40:36
I'm gonna hold off on buying any
40:37
t-shirts see how this whole weight loss
40:39
thing goes but I did get another hat
40:41
because you know
40:43
the last thing I need are more race caps
40:46
but I'm doing it and I also got this one
40:49
too well I'm gonna buy this one too
40:50
because I don't have a purple full
40:52
purple one so going with two two caps
40:56
for the sweep and this historic season
41:00
all right heading out you're welcome
41:04
back in my car now a couple blocks away
41:06
from the stadium it's a pretty
41:07
interesting mural you got Castle gray
41:09
skull there got Planet of the Apes got
41:12
Jurassic Park and around the corner
41:15
looks like there's He-Man and a gremlin
41:19
and Aliens go over here yeah He-Man here
41:28
and then there's the speeds
41:28
Homer's face on it Gremlin down here
41:31
an alien right there
41:34
and
41:37
little monsters
41:39
that little monster since I'm already
41:41
over in this area
41:43
Traverse a very short commute
41:45
like 10 miles north of where I just was
41:47
to Safety Harbor
41:49
I've never been to Safety Harbor
41:55
here
41:55
over there somewhere
41:58
and some boats it is 5 15 right now
42:01
and I-4
42:04
even on a Sunday it gets a little backed
42:06
up so
42:12
just gonna see what's around these parts
42:12
before getting over back on I-4
42:15
and then heading home for the evening
42:16
Safety Harbor Florida they have a clock
42:18
here as well
42:45
Safety Harbor boat club
42:45
man this is a peaceful little town to be
42:47
a little area
42:50
and the thing that was amazing is this
42:52
parking lot that's right here
42:58
it wasn't paid parking you just I was
42:58
like I might just probably pay a meter
42:59
or something nope just just park
43:03
like a normal place
43:08
you're in St Pete by the shop it's tough
43:08
to find parking
43:10
everything's meter parking or lot
43:12
parking
43:13
all these boats
43:20
another boat there it's a good news
43:20
over here
43:26
all right I'm taking a long walk on a
43:26
not so short
43:27
Pier not off of here but to the end of
43:29
the pier
43:30
so Tampa's over there
43:32
and St Pete is over there you can see
43:34
both of them
43:36
and you can see that seagull
43:38
in the same front Tampa
43:40
St Pete
43:45
not far away from where I just was on
43:45
the corner of 12th
43:47
and Third Street North
43:50
it's like a very unique looking
43:52
car over there like a bug over there
43:54
that's all decorated plenty there's also
43:55
a smiley face
43:57
in that yard and then here's some cut
43:59
down bamboo
44:02
and someone backing up
44:12
it's like different it's like a milk
44:12
bottle tree here like a juice bottle
44:13
tree that's interesting it's not glass
44:16
bottles like I've seen
44:17
there's the glass bottles
44:19
this says please take one
44:22
so I took one
44:24
and it actually is an attraction called
44:26
Whimsy land located at 1 1206 3rd Street
44:30
in North Safety Harbor Florida
44:33
Whimsy land
44:41
who knew there is a keyboard on the side
44:41
of that door right there and this looks
44:43
like something Wayne zielinski would
44:44
drive
44:59
two Mardi Gras heads there
44:59
with beads and one that's a private
45:01
residence but they open it up to anybody
45:02
to walk through like people can just
45:03
walk through here
45:09
you got the flamingos down here you got
45:09
the bowling balls
45:16
it is a public place
45:16
there's a tiki over there
45:30
there's SpongeBob
45:30
this place is awesome
45:33
greetings from whimsyland
45:36
and they also have some items that you
45:38
can buy here some postcards for five
45:41
dollars
45:42
this little carriage which is not for
45:44
sale but there's a lot of stuff look at
45:46
this troll up here
45:48
dangling from the roof all the different
45:52
chandeliers and whatnot
46:06
reminds me of Route 66
46:06
see a lot of bottle trees
46:12
so that's the private residence there so
46:12
you're not allowed to go past there
46:25
I think you could just even hang out in
46:25
here if you wanted to
46:26
just relax
46:41
of a wind chime made out of
46:41
kitchen utensils
46:43
cutlery
46:45
I love Tikis
47:05
it's like something you'd see like a
47:05
McDonald's ball pit or something
47:07
down there
47:17
oh wow look at this thing
47:18
it's like an old trash can or something
47:19
that's been painted into artwork it
47:21
looks like a dog with his tongue out
47:29
but down here is like a spider
47:29
made out of chains
47:32
hand prints probably from the residents
47:34
that created this place
47:45
oh
47:45
more from the ball pit
47:57
this is an interesting character it's
47:57
got the big webbed feet
47:58
this is the face
48:06
oh bowling paw a bowling ball pyramid
48:09
and that's kind of the end of it through
48:10
here but some of the other neighbors
48:13
have gotten kind of artsy too and put
48:14
stuff in their yards
48:25
oh there's a peace sign so I missed that
48:25
and then up on the balcony
48:28
different items
48:35
like the birds chirping
48:35
there's a dragonfly of some sort
48:59
okay this is pretty cool
48:59
so here are some roadside attractions
49:01
all across the U.S for example Watts
49:04
Tower which is in Watts California near
49:07
La
49:08
2548 miles
49:10
Giant's house eight thousand two hundred
49:12
the orange show I've been to that in
49:14
Houston that is a thousand miles away so
49:16
they are paying kind of like homage and
49:17
honoring some of the other kind of wacky
49:20
roadside places that are similar
49:22
they kind of have those started off kind
49:24
of how this is
49:32
these are like some bottle tops or some
49:32
like Tupperware around the top or maybe
49:34
Rubbermaid tops
49:36
kind of dangling here too
49:41
there you can just see quite a few
49:41
people are just kind of wandering around
49:43
taking a look at this odd roadside yeah
49:45
speaking of Mickey D's there you go
49:47
right there there's like the old Mickey
49:48
D play area
49:49
section
49:51
this is directly across the street this
49:52
is the neighbor's house they got a
49:54
couple like Olmec heads down there
49:59
another peace sign
49:59
and here's something very
50:02
very peculiar there's a Dalmatian over
50:04
here who's a firefighter next to the
50:05
fire hydrant
50:07
looks like it's made out of metal
50:16
probably has the ax he doesn't want any
50:16
other dogs coming up here on his
50:17
territory and utilizing his fire hydrant
50:19
that he is probably marked his territory
50:21
with
50:22
stay away other dogs stay away
50:25
this neighbor's yard over here has kind
50:27
of like there's an artist in
50:28
Philadelphia who's very famous all
50:29
through
50:30
like South Street and whatnot that does
50:32
this kind of glass artwork kind of looks
50:34
like that Philadelphia artist not but
50:37
it looks similar to kind of stuff that
50:38
he has done
50:44
a block or two away from the house
50:44
this kind of reminds me of like the old
50:45
punk rock days when you get like a fancy
50:47
inside like an old newspaper thing and
50:49
they would reconvert it
50:50
owned by the same people I am now
50:52
entering an art Zone and there's a big
50:55
pink elephant right here they do
50:58
different events
51:00
all right so here too as well
51:07
oh look at that old classic car over
51:07
there little station wagon
51:10
like they're doing some kind of buzz
51:12
sawing up here
51:14
oh this could actually hypnotize you
51:27
there was more glass work all along
51:27
the side of here all the way up kind of
51:30
hard to see but it's all glass artwork
51:32
and here's another bug I had a couple
51:34
couple different bugs
51:41
there's a better view of that all
51:41
glassed up building there
51:43
underneath this big tree there's a
51:45
chandelier dangling from the tree full
51:47
of moss actually there's a bunch of
51:49
different champions
52:01
open heart open mind dance your own
52:01
dance
52:02
I don't know who care who that is but
52:04
pretty cool
52:06
and they have a little library of sorts
52:08
where you leave a book take a book leave
52:10
books or take books or both
52:16
oh there's a payphone Booth look at that
52:16
skeleton and shell of a pavement over
52:19
can leave a love letter write one or
52:21
read one
52:22
maybe you want to read one
52:25
from this very creepy bunny headed doll
52:48
all right I'm now over in the downtown
52:48
area Safety Harbor a couple blocks from
52:50
where I just was look at this very
52:52
unique building over here with a very
52:54
interesting front with the glass and all
52:56
that and as the Sun starts to set you
52:57
see a little Sunburst there there is a
52:59
esper root S by root 2 water so I'm just
53:04
going to assume that this was bottled
53:05
and made here this Mineral Spring Water
53:07
also I ended up getting a piping High
53:09
caffeinated beverage I was getting
53:10
pretty tired so I needed a needed a
53:12
coffee Pike's Place one
53:15
raw sugar not regular sugar just one
53:17
packet and just a little bit of cream
53:19
cream but that's about it I thought not
53:21
that much man there's little placards
53:22
around town too let you know some of the
53:24
historic stuff the historic tree the
53:27
baron off oak tree this must be Bear
53:29
Knock there yes Salem baronoff former
53:32
owner of the Safety Harbor Spa
53:34
he was born in 1880.
53:37
and he purchased land for the new
53:39
library which is right next to this tree
53:40
so they named this tree after him and
53:43
this thing is very impressive
53:50
look at this leg
53:50
big old tree
53:52
the library is right over there
54:06
there's no um
54:06
a lot of local
54:08
the library's not open today well
54:10
because it's getting later in the
54:11
evening but also it's Sunday as a
54:12
reporting of this but also the library
54:14
was built on the former side of the
54:16
hipkin house and one of the five Safety
54:19
Harbor Mineral Springs the water from
54:20
the spring was used for drinking by
54:21
local residents
54:23
but take a look at this this is the
54:24
water pump
54:26
just still work I know they got it seal
54:28
that
54:29
that's one of the original water Springs
54:31
right down there below
54:33
and there's a lot of trees through here
54:37
just look at all this
54:53
this Oak was grew grown on an Indian
54:53
ceremonial shell Mound the shell was
54:55
later removed and as the road based
54:57
material for the local streets leaving
54:58
the space beneath the tree
55:00
is estimated to be over 200 years old so
55:02
maybe that would be the hole under the
55:04
tree there where the shells were
55:07
interesting
55:12
did not start the day off thinking I was
55:14
going to be looking at trees but you're
55:16
right this artist Adam
55:18
danger Smith
55:20
has depicted
55:22
very caffeinated or maybe uncaffeinated
55:26
raccoon on a flamingo looks like there
55:28
was a chalk walk out here a butterfly
55:31
there it looks like a roach made a chalk
55:55
all right finally pulling back into
55:55
celebration now there's a really bad
55:57
wreck on I-4
55:59
and it completely rerouted me to a bunch
56:01
of Backroads
56:04
to Champions Gate
56:06
and then pack on the I-4 that wasn't
56:08
backed up
56:10
and now I'm back over and a celebration
56:13
and that's gonna do it for today
56:40
back where I started
56:40
so many hours later
56:43
