 from Texas somewhere. I'm feeling better, thanks to Claire. I'm not feeling better, thanks to Jacks. So Claire was nice enough to come to Austin, Texas and take care of me and in the process she ended up getting sick. Sorry about that. What I get for helping people out. But I want to let you know she is being medicated. I ordered here some high quality bird azithromycin. You growing any feathers yet? Nothing I know of. Just wait. By the way, because our health care sucks, drugs are super expensive and this is a little work around way to get prescription drugs. Not that I'm telling you to do it, but in case your bird gets ill you can treat it, but not yourself. Because then you have to go to the doctor and pay a bunch of money. By the way, I covered up the lights that was in a previous video up top here. Thank you to Alice again for hosting us out in Austin. Let me get better. I'm heading back west right now. We're in Texas. We're in Abilene. We're going to go check out some stuff further to the west, south and then drop her off in a week, a couple days after Christmas or so. The reason for that is because I was sick and because there was a conflict of my schedule to help someone. I'm basically going to teach someone how to make YouTube videos out in Kentucky. You'll meet her if that actually happens, but that's set for February first. It looks like I'm going to head west to the RTR and the Schooley Palooza. The Schooley Palooza is on the 5th. Just look it up if you want to come hang out. Otherwise, they'll be over at the River Tramp rendezvous hanging out with a bunch of people. One of the reasons I want to head over there was I've met so many amazing, incredible people in the van life, bus life, RV life. I just want to spend time with them and hang out and get to know more people and I know there's going to be a ton of people coming. Also, my buddy Brock, Bus Life Adventure, I'll be making a few videos, interview videos of school buses out there. If you do have a school bus, hit me up. I will interview you for his channel. We are going to do a little trade. He is a web developer, so he's going to do what he is good at. I'm going to do what I'm good at and we're going to trade. Finally, hopefully, we'll have a functioning website. Right now, if you go on the website, it's a bunch of dummy content and if you subscribe for the mailing list, it doesn't actually subscribe you for the mailing list, so that's been bugging me for a while, so it's good that I can trade because obviously I'm on a budget here. I think that's about it. Yeah, the bus is running great. I got a fresh oil change in here and it is now time to hit the road. We're going to, I don't know, drive a little bit less than the last week we were together, but we'll go check out some quirky stuff on the way and head towards Marfa. I almost forgot one more thing. If you guys came from the Jurgies channel, you already know who they are. If not, they are the cutest couple ever, first of all, and they hide treasures and they've asked me to hide a treasure. So if you guys have any ideas where I should be hiding this treasure on my travels, comment below or if you have any unique ideas for that, but that is something I will be doing probably in the next month or so, so I'm definitely looking forward to that. Okay, now it's time to hit the road. This is in Odessa, Texas, and from Roadside America it was saying it is 70% life-size scale. And this is on the University of Texas. Permian Basin. Permian Basin, thank you Claire, sweet Claire, you're so smart. Yeah, it's like this big old college thing over here and for some reason they just have a re-creation of the Stonehenge, so let's take a little walk around here. How big is this? 30% bigger. The question is that if you're going to go for 70% and not 100%, why stop at 70%? I mean it is pretty cool that it is here, but you know, it's a little strange that, you know, it's like 70% is almost 100%, like you're almost there, like why not go for it? That route to do 100%. Exactly. It's a big, big lot. Yeah, and you can see where these stones here were quarried and drilled. That's definitely not on the original ones, and I can tell you that without even going there. That's just kind of common sense. But it sure is interesting. It is not the only Stonehenge that I've come across, driving across the country. I believe there was one more, shoot, I forget where that was. There's one over by the Columbia River on the Washington side across from Oregon, and then there was another one I passed by someplace. I'm not really sure what kind of cult following the Stonehenge has, but I do know it is a pretty interesting place. Even a replica is pretty cool. What do you think, Claire? All right. So that took all of a couple of minutes. Oh, by the way, this is Claire's favorite tree. Where is this? A mosquito tree. Why is it your favorite? Yeah, these things. That's crazy. That's like my finger. Yeah. These are giant, giant thorns, huge thorns. Possible to kill. They populate. It does taste good with barbecue though. I suppose. Let's keep barbecue. We should definitely get some barbecue soon. No. I'm missing out. I haven't been sick for a week. I haven't had barbecue in a long time. What do you guys think about the light covers up there? Yeah. I feel like it kind of takes away from the school bus charm, but also makes it a little bit, I don't know, more legal inside. We're just hanging out. How was your day today, Claire Bear? It was good. It was good? Breathe though. Oh yeah, still sick. We'll give you some more medicine. Over here we got the Jack special, which is a couple of cans of lentils inside with frozen veggies. They're a little rice in there. Some slapio mama sauce. Stuff's all right. A little on the salty side. What do you say we do with time-lapse? And also Claire said we might see some deer tonight, so I'm hoping that we spot some deer over here. Here is the close-up of a very, very simple bus life meal. Like I said, lentils, frozen veggies, rice, and a little bit of that jambalaya, or seasoning, Louisiana seasoning. Claire Bear, how do you like it? I haven't tried it yet. Well, give everybody an insight into Jack's bus life cooking. What do you think? Not bad for like three bucks each for dinner, huh?
