Weight Loss Update & Taking Golf Cart Hwy 192 In Rain Storm- Empty Old Town Kissimmee / Deer At Dusk
A Friday on Hwy 192 Kissimmee
Transcript
0:02
Today's adventure begins from my garage
0:02
as the recording of this TGIF. It is
0:05
Friday. Very echoey in here. Friday, May
0:10
30th, 2025. You can see down here
0:13
charging up my glorified golf cart mini
0:15
Marge. Going to probably cruise around
0:17
in the cart a little bit later. But it
0:20
is time for a weigh-in. The last
0:22
weigh-in I did was exactly one month ago
0:25
on the 30th of last month. And I figure
0:27
it's the 30th of this month, so I'll
0:30
weigh in. Probably not going to be too
0:32
incredibly happy with the
0:34
results, but here goes. Got the scale
0:37
right down here in front of the
0:38
treadmill. I'm going to step on here and
0:41
see see what happens. Says
0:50
hi. 248.
0:50
248. Let's do it
0:52
again. Is that right? 248.
0:56
ought to be a little
0:57
less. Let's just tap
0:59
it. 248. Let's go
1:02
again. Maybe it's a little
1:06
off.
1:07
248.3. That's not getting any better.
1:10
Let's call it
1:11
248. Let's call it
1:13
248.3. Guess I can't complain too
1:17
much. I lost just shy of 5 lbs in a
1:20
month. You know, let's call it a one and
1:23
a quarter pounds a week. That's probably
1:25
the healthy way to do
1:26
it. In the past, I would do extreme not
1:29
eating for many many days and I would
1:31
drop a ton of
1:33
weight
1:38
quickly and that might be the better
1:38
option. But but I guess 5 pounds a month
1:42
if I stick to
1:43
that I could I could get down over the
1:46
next few months. We'll see. I'm going to
1:49
I'm going to
1:50
try when I weigh in at the end of June
1:54
to be down like another 10 pounds. I'm
1:56
going to try to go for at least 10 lbs
1:58
in June and get down to like
2:07
235. 10 or 15 pounds in June would be
2:07
good. We'll see. We'll see what happens.
2:10
But like the older I get, the harder it
2:13
is to to drop weight like I used to.
2:16
Welcome everyone. Adam the woo here.
2:19
Just kind of a nice day. Driving around
2:21
in my golf cart. Hit celebration first.
2:24
Might pop over to Highway 192. Heck,
2:26
might even go over to Oldtown. Just see
2:30
what's happening. No real game plan. It
2:32
just rained. It was storming. And now
2:34
this is interesting. Let me show you
2:36
this. Let me invite you to join me
2:38
throughout the course of today, shall
2:40
you? The
2:43
steam is coming off the concrete here.
2:47
if it really shows up on camera too
2:50
well, but the concrete is so hot with
2:54
the sun, the Florida sun, that when it
2:56
rains and then it stops, you get steam
2:59
emitting off of the concrete here at
3:02
this
3:04
church. This is what the weather's
3:06
showing currently. 87°. Still
3:08
forecasting some lightning and rain.
3:12
87° going to get up to 88 and then down
3:16
as the day goes on or the evening goes
3:19
on. It's going to get down a little. Not
3:21
as hot as it was
3:22
yesterday, but still warm. Still warm,
3:26
but not as hot as it was yesterday,
3:28
thankfully. It's always a nice cleansing
3:30
feeling after a good downpour. Oh, looks
3:32
like they're fixing the railing over
3:34
here. There a spot here at the electric
3:37
vehicle parking
3:38
only. Well, I assume they're fixing the
3:41
railing, but maybe they just parked a
3:43
truck in front of it. Went ahead and
3:45
mobile ordered a coffee. They parked the
3:48
truck in front of where the railing
3:52
is torn down. Look, a little wind
3:55
through here. You see the sticks and
3:58
everything have kind of blown down
3:59
through here. They got all the July
4:01
4th bunting up, the little flags and all
4:05
that up here since a couple days prior
4:08
to Memorial Day. They leave it up
4:10
through July 4th, I'm imagining. Okay,
4:12
you can see over here, car drove through
4:14
that a month or two ago into the water
4:17
and they they haven't they haven't quite
4:19
fixed it yet. Time it rains after post
4:21
rain and it's not still raining. It's
4:23
like a movie set and whenever you watch
4:25
a movie, they will usually have water on
4:28
the roads. Usually that's either from
4:30
real rain or they'll hose down the
4:31
roads. It kind of make gives it a
4:33
more cinematic type of feel. They're
4:36
also setting up the little stansions out
4:39
here for this weekend. You know, every
4:42
Sunday they block the roads off for the
4:45
art farmer flea market. That's not until
4:47
Sunday and as I'm walking around it's
4:49
Friday, but they start to get all that
4:51
prepared unless they have something
4:52
happening later tonight or tomorrow.
4:54
There's always activities out here. But
4:56
yeah, every time every time after a rain
4:58
it always gives that that movie is being
5:01
filmed vibe. If you ever watch a lot of
5:04
movies, you'll always see water on the
5:06
streets even when it's not raining just
5:07
to the camera camera makes things look a
5:11
lot more beautiful when the streets are
5:13
wet. At least at least that's what I've
5:16
always heard. I like how they write
5:18
little little things on the side of the
5:20
cups. Now, mine says cheers today. It
5:22
said other things over time, but yeah,
5:24
it's kind of a nice little touch trying
5:26
to get used to the fountain out here.
5:28
But I'm really liking I'm liking the
5:29
fact that the fountain is now on. It's
5:31
been on for a few days over there in
5:32
Lake Reinhardt. Yeah, I think I'm going
5:34
to head over into Highway 192 area. Go
5:38
out of the celebration bubble off of the
5:40
no man's land is what I like to call
5:47
it. Different world once you're out of
5:47
Celebration
5:49
and down on the
5:51
192. Haven't been over to Oldtown for a
5:54
while. So, we'll check it out. No cruise
5:56
tonight. That's tomorrow night. Today's
5:57
just a regular day. No Saturday night
5:59
cruise on Fridays. That's tomorrow.
6:02
Right over here at the Water Tower
6:04
Plaza, right on the cusp of Celebration
6:08
and Highway 192. There's always these
6:10
very Oh, they're flying off. I missed
6:12
them. Always these very unique
6:15
ducks. Startled them
6:32
They are very easily startled. There
6:32
they
6:45
are. They make a very unique noise.
6:49
So you got the regular like I guess
6:51
those are malards way out there. But
6:54
here closer to the the store the closer
6:56
to the shore and the
6:59
stores these are like orangeed orange
7:02
beak smaller
7:14
ducks.
7:14
Interesting. I like them.
7:17
Clouds look really awesome behind the
7:20
imitation water tower here at Water
7:22
Tower Plaza. Pretty much confirmed a
7:25
while back that there is no water in
7:27
there. It's not a not used for any
7:29
practical purpose other than decor. Cuz
7:31
the reality is why would they have that
7:34
teeny tiny water tower here? And then if
7:37
you go to the base of the water
7:39
tower, the pole there in the middle is
7:42
just on a slab of concrete. Doesn't go
7:45
into anything. That's always been my
7:47
opinion, but about a month ago, I went
7:49
over there and showed all of it. Man,
7:50
the sky looks so cool. It is beautiful,
7:53
though. The sky and the and the water
7:57
tower. It's like a beacon letting
7:59
everyone know that they're entering
8:01
Celebration Celebration, Florida. No
8:03
more free crab tomorrow. This is the
8:05
Joe's Crab Shack. Closed 3, four, five
8:08
months
8:09
ago. Still sitting empty. Be nice if
8:12
they put something else in here. ate
8:14
there a couple times, but it was open
8:17
for a long time and the lights are still
8:18
on
8:26
inside. There's the bike shop over there
8:26
that I bought my bike. I got to get back
8:27
on my bike. I haven't had my bike in a
8:29
while. Going parallel to Highway 192.
8:31
Got some flooding here. Got some
8:41
uh right here along the little sidewalk.
8:42
Made
8:49
it over to Oldtown. Why not see what's
8:49
going on during the
8:50
day? Usually only go over on Saturdays
8:54
there, but go over there today instead.
8:56
I love they have these really wide
8:58
sidewalks, way
8:59
wider than Mini Marge is my glorified
9:02
golf
9:03
cart. And I can't drive on Highway 192,
9:06
but I
9:07
can drive on the sidewalk.
9:17
I looked it up once. The stipulation is
9:17
they have to be wider than 8 ft. These
9:19
are 10 ft. I measured it once. My golf
9:22
cart is 5 ft across, give or take a few
9:25
inches. Celebration Suites, which is on
9:27
192. It's always interesting. They
9:28
always have this little mini golf course
9:30
here. It's like a little putting green
9:31
for you to practice your your golf.
9:35
There's a That's a That's way bigger
9:36
than the one I have. That's like a
9:37
That's like a six-seater right there.
9:44
And it's surprised to see this Checkers
9:44
back open. So, a few days ago, you can
9:46
look it up. I'm not going to talk about
9:47
it, but a event happened right here that
9:50
very sad event happened at this checkers
9:52
right here, and they they've reopened
9:54
it. I was kind of thinking they'd still
9:55
have it closed for investigation, but
9:56
nope, it's open. Cruising by the ferris
9:59
wheel. Cruising by the ferris wheel. And
10:02
I think they do have some sort of a car
10:03
thing here on Fridays, but it's not the
10:05
classic car thing. That's only on on uh
10:07
Saturdays. lot here. Golf cart and
10:09
motorcycle parking only. Any
10:11
slingshots or any other offsite parking.
10:14
This toad will
10:15
be in this area will be towed at owner's
10:18
expense. Right now, there's plenty of
10:20
parking out here. Even in some of the
10:22
areas over here, well, I don't say
10:23
plenty,
10:24
but during the evening, this fills up so
10:27
dramatically. It's it's nearly
10:29
impossible to find parking at Oldtown.
10:30
Sometimes you got to park over at the
10:31
Red Lobster, the miniature golf course
10:33
on the other side of Oldtown. They
10:35
charge you a couple bucks to park in
10:36
those lots. And I always highly
10:38
recommend that. But there usually if I
10:41
drive many Marge over here, I'm just
10:42
parking for me over in this section.
10:44
Right now it's not full, but at night it
10:46
gets really full. Parking here is a
10:47
problem. Popped in for just a short
10:49
while. Went into a couple stores and
10:51
then just walk down the main area.
10:53
However, I mean it was this is empty as
10:56
I've ever seen it. Now at 6:00 they will
10:59
end up opening Mortm Manor, which is the
11:01
little haunt that's through here. That's
11:03
great. That's open every day from 6:00
11:05
to like 10:00. And on Saturday and
11:07
Sunday they're open a little later, but
11:09
right now it's only 4:40 and they don't
11:11
have they don't have more to maner open.
11:14
And the shops are all open, but there
11:15
really not a whole heck of a lot of
11:16
people out here. And I believe they do
11:18
like a muscle car night and a Jeep
11:21
night whenever
11:23
they're on the on Fridays. Again,
11:26
Saturday is the big one when the the
11:28
place is completely
11:30
packed, but tonight just kind of more
11:32
low-key. Not a lot of people here. They
11:34
do have all the jeeps lined up right
11:35
here. They're getting ready to pull
11:37
through at some point. Pretty neat. All
11:40
these like jeeps lined up through here.
11:41
That one's like on elevated wheels
11:43
there. That was pretty cool, right? Look
11:45
at that
11:47
thing. Oldtown located here on marker 9.
11:51
You don't really see people talk about
11:53
or utilize the markers anymore. That was
11:55
a system the city of CM came up with
11:58
years ago. That way you could tell
12:00
people where you were if you went in. If
12:02
you were lost and you went into like a
12:03
7-Eleven or a Kmart or a Mickey De's or
12:05
a Burger King and you'd ask, "Hey, where
12:07
is this on Highway 192?" The employee
12:10
could say, "Oh, it's a mile marker 9."
12:13
You will never hear anyone ever utilize
12:15
those markers anymore. This the whole
12:17
system never really worked out that way.
12:20
Never really worked out like they
12:21
thought it would, but they're still
12:23
there. The markers are still there.
12:24
Another Highway
12:26
192 hotel/ motel. It's bit the dust.
12:31
Saraga Hotel and Suites main gate east
12:33
right next to
12:35
Oldtown. Got a little guard stand out
12:40
here. I stayed at Sarago one time back
12:43
in late 2015 when I was allowed to go
12:46
back to Walt Disney World after not
12:48
being allowed for a few years. This is a
12:49
whole story.
12:52
My good friend Justin Scard and I flew
12:53
from
12:55
SoCal, summer of 15, I believe it was,
12:58
booked a room right here and went for
13:00
four or five days at Disney World. My
13:02
first time back there in like 3 years.
13:04
That's the only time I stayed here. And
13:06
evidently, not a lot of other people
13:07
stayed here either because it's now
13:17
closed. Last time I rode through here,
13:17
half of it was closed, but not all of
13:19
it. Now it's all it's all shut
13:39
down. It's hard to believe how long ago
13:39
that was when I stayed here. That's
13:40
almost 10 years ago. What the heck? 10
13:42
years. All right. Thwarted. I cannot go
13:46
any further than this cuz the sidewalk
13:47
is closed. Something happened over in
13:50
there. In fact, there's like a little
13:51
offshoot road I usually will turn on to
13:53
go over by where Cracker Barrel is, then
13:55
cross the street to Orange World. But
13:57
even that road is closed behind me. So,
13:59
there must have been like a water pipe
14:02
or something busted. So, they closed it
14:04
down. So, got to got to turn around, go
14:05
back the other way. So, instead of
14:06
driving off the curb and trying to cross
14:08
the crazy amount of traffic right now on
14:10
192, just going back the other way. And
14:14
this is up a I don't know, couple
14:16
blocks. All this piping down through
14:18
here too next to the Sarra
14:31
Lago thing they have on 192 Erllo
14:31
Bronson Highway 192 number of different
14:33
names are these doors that you can open
14:36
and they have booklets in here that you
14:38
can take. And a lot of people don't
14:39
realize these are in here like the Big
14:41
Bang maps and
14:42
discounts right in here. Trader
14:45
Jake right there. I love Orlando. We're
14:48
a traveler. Orlando
14:51
now. This is on the back side of sign.
14:54
Look at this. Celebration even
14:57
has Celebration even has something
14:59
listed in here. Coastal Angler right
15:01
there. Hotel
15:03
coupons. Yep. Still written word paper
15:08
booklets that you can take. Enjoy
15:10
Florida coupons. Please take one right
15:13
there.
15:15
It's just they're right here on the
15:16
other side of
15:20
signage. So when you're driving down
15:22
here, all you see is the advertisement
15:23
on the side of the road. You don't
15:25
realize that there's all s all kind of
15:28
discount booklets. Most of most of the
15:30
time never
15:39
used. You might get some rain here
15:39
pretty soon. This road I'm driving on
15:41
now is a little side street. It leads
15:43
over behind the the Studio One gift shop
15:46
with the big eagle on the side of it.
15:48
And it's a lot smoother than it was over
15:50
the last year or so and the last year
15:53
since I've been driving over to Oldtown
15:55
and the golf cart. And there's no fence
15:58
up here. They've torn down the old motel
16:00
that was here and they put up a little
16:02
walking clinic,
16:04
etc. Repaved the road. Kind of
16:08
nice. I'm driving around the back side
16:11
of
16:13
it. There's a little gift shop here with
16:15
the big eagle. US flag. Big American
16:18
flag with the
16:23
eagle. So, maybe I'll pop inside here.
16:24
See what they got. While I've been in
16:27
here official official Disney
16:43
parking spaces. Take a look at this.
16:43
This is I never noticed this before.
16:45
Very old school dated here with the
16:47
tourist info painted on the side of it.
16:50
So, there's two spots. Not for shopping,
16:53
but if you want tourist info back in the
16:55
day, you would park in this spot or in
16:59
the spot where I parked right here. Look
17:01
at that. Tourist
17:03
info. Well, there's a third spot right
17:05
there, too, next to the 7-Eleven. Side
17:07
on the street calls this place Studio
17:10
One. Only the sign on the
17:14
street. Nowhere on the building at
17:18
5870A. Oh, look at
17:21
this.
17:23
5870
17:24
here. Let's do the math on this.
17:28
5870 was the huge gift shop that's been
17:31
here probably since the early '9s, maybe
17:34
even 80s, but I'm going to say early,
17:36
let's say '
17:37
80s, could even be late '7s. Magic
17:40
Kingdom opened in 71. Disney World
17:41
opened in 71. There weren't a lot of
17:44
on-site hotels, so 192 was a lot more
17:46
thriving with motel and hotels. Now,
17:48
everyone's pretty much stays on site.
17:50
That's why 192 is in decline tourism
17:54
wise. But 5870 was this one. And then
17:57
the tourist info. They must have just
18:00
had this little segment right here. Look
18:03
at this where they had the tourist info
18:05
written there. And that's 5870 on the
18:08
door. But look above it.
18:16
5870A. It was two spots, not just one.
18:16
Then they morphed it into one. And then
18:18
years later, they ended up calling it
18:21
Studio One. For what reason? I have no
18:24
idea. Studio One. perused around a
18:27
little bit probably 10 15 minutes just
18:29
looking at all the different stuff in
18:30
there. Two floors, two stories as a few
18:33
of them are here on Highway
18:36
192. They do have some license stuff and
18:38
they as us to do some stuff. They have
18:40
some stuff that you don't see in the
18:41
parks which is kind of neat. And I got a
18:43
couple items. I did not got I did not
18:45
get any Disney themed shirts but I ended
18:49
up getting a couple of Aloha shirts,
18:51
Hawaiian style shirts. Two of them right
18:54
there. You can kind of see the pattern
18:56
through
19:02
there. All right, cruising along. I
19:02
think they were like 12 12 $15 each,
19:04
something like that. 15 bucks. I think
19:06
they were like 2 for 30, two for 28. Oh,
19:10
rain's coming down now. Good hard
19:18
rain. Turn the lights on here. It's
19:18
coming in sideways.
19:48
It's all part of the adventure. All part
19:48
of the excitement. All part of the
19:51
experience.
19:54
Florida coming
19:58
in. Feels good. Oh, I just almost lost
20:01
my hat. Oh, I caught it just in
20:03
time. Blowing off my
20:21
head. Oo. Now really coming
20:56
Heat. Heat.
21:36
wet.
21:36
Hold on to them
21:37
hats. It is gusty. Gusty and
21:43
rainy. All right, I went home for a
21:45
little bit. About an hour, hour and a
21:48
half. It's now about
21:51
7:15 and I'm over here on East
22:00
Lawn. My favorite things to
22:00
do is to say hello to the deer at dusk.
22:03
Dusk deer.
22:16
was kind of hoping they'd be out. Didn't
22:16
know if the rain would deter
22:29
them on the edge of Celebration. And now
22:29
the town of celebration. If you look
22:30
over there pl past that burm and the
22:33
little retention pond, you can
22:36
see the little sky coaster from Oldtown.
22:39
That's how close Oldtown
22:41
is. There's also the swing over there
22:43
from Oldtown by the
22:51
Checkers. Separated by the Burn.
22:51
Also classic car alert.
22:59
Looking for deer. Looking for some de
23:01
more deer out in this
23:02
area. I know you're out here,
23:05
dear. Evidently, a lot of
23:16
people feed them corn and apple slices.
23:16
I'm not feeding them,
23:18
but I will enjoy looking at them.
23:40
really little horny guy. The little guy
23:40
with horns. You're going to get a little
23:41
bit
23:43
of enjoy.
23:47
I will. Thank you. Nice to meet you
23:48
both. Nice to meet you.
23:59
Oh, here comes someone else. Got apples.
23:59
I mean,
24:01
this No wonder there's so many deer
24:04
around. They are well taken care of
24:07
here. Oh my gosh, that deer just scured
24:10
off like nobody's business over there.
24:14
Like darted off into the woods. The
24:17
other ones are like, "Nope, we want
24:18
apples." Hello again over here on East
24:20
Lawn.
24:51
here. All right. But I am going to drive
24:51
over to Chipotle passing the fire
24:53
department which is right there. Ocula
24:55
County Fire Station number
24:58
72. I haven't eaten at Chipotle in
25:00
probably four or five months. The last
25:02
time I went to the one over
25:04
here wasn't too content
25:07
with Wasn't too content with
25:11
the experience that I had there. I
25:14
thought I'm not going to go anymore. But
25:16
I'll try it again. See if they can
25:18
totally redeem themselves. So, I'm going
25:20
to go get some Chipotle since I'm
25:22
already since I'm already on the cart
25:24
and I'm already over in this area. Got
25:26
the Advent Health Hospital here in town.
25:28
I love that there's this huge hospital
25:29
just right down the road from my place.
25:32
Later in life, I'm sure I'm going to
25:33
need
25:35
it. It's good to
25:38
have doctors, hospitals,
25:43
etc. Nice little setup here in town.
25:46
Yeah, with
25:47
Chipotle. The last few times I went to
25:49
Chipotle, I'd always try to get the
25:51
veggies. They call it the fajita
25:54
veggies and they would just give me one
25:56
or two vegetables. They would just be
25:58
like two little
26:00
slices. I would say, I'll take a few
26:03
more if you don't mind. And then they'd
26:04
just give me like one. But now I kind of
26:06
know what I'm getting myself into when I
26:08
ask for the fajita
26:10
veggies. Not expecting any more than
26:12
maybe like four little slices.
26:15
Now that I know that, I just know what
26:17
to expect. But that's fine. I'll just I
26:20
get extra rice and beans, I guess. I
26:22
guess Chipotle is toning down the amount
26:24
of veggies they give you. Not a veggie
26:39
quot. All right. Be generous, Chipotle.
26:39
Be generous with your
26:40
veggies. I just like to have the veggies
26:42
on the rice and beans. I It's just Maybe
26:44
it's just me. All right. It was
26:46
surprisingly not too busy in there.
26:49
Sometimes when the parks are letting out
26:50
that it gets really a little later in
26:52
the evening, it gets really slammed in
26:54
there. But I was the only one in there.
26:55
Me and like one other person, no one in
26:57
front of me online. Talked to the guy
26:59
said, "Can you just give me like an
27:00
extra helping of the the veggies? I'll
27:03
pay extra if you want to do a little
27:04
upcharge on it." So he put a little
27:07
more. I'm not saying he loaded it up,
27:08
but he put a little more than what is
27:11
usual. And he goes, "There's no
27:12
upcharge, but that's that's the amount
27:13
we could give you." So, a little bit
27:15
more. I got Chipotle for
27:19
real, a little uh some chips, and uh a
27:25
bowl. Real chicken bowl, and I got a
27:29
lemonade. Look at the sunset up
27:33
there. Nice. That's going to do it for
27:35
today. Thanks for watching. I'll see you
27:37
in the next video. Let's see how the
27:39
next month goes.
27:44
Not making any
27:44
crazy
27:45
extreme
27:47
promises. Just trying to tone things
27:50
back a little bit and just see what each
27:51
month produces. If I, you know, if I can
27:53
lose 5, six, seven pounds a month over
27:56
time, I'll be down to what I need to be.
27:58
Let's just go with that. Not going too
28:01
extreme cuz usually if I do extreme, I
28:04
go pretty pretty intense for a little
28:06
while and then it just begins to be too
28:07
much. And so I'm just trying to slowly
28:10
lose weight this time. We'll see how it
28:13
goes over the next few
28:16
months. See you in the next video. The
28:18
vlog is
