 You guys are incredible people, great human beings, and very generous, and also you guys might be seeing badge over at the van build party over at Jamie's, perhaps, so thank you for everything, seriously, I appreciate it. Like I said moments before I turned the camera on, I feel like I made a new family, so we'll be in touch. Alright, deal, sold. Alright, here's the estimate of labors that we did, well badge, did on the bus here, 29.5 hours, we'll just call it 30, well actually that didn't even include the fix for some other stuff, so I think we're probably up to like 35 hours, massive, massive gift that I received, and like I said, I feel like I made new lifelong friends and almost like a new family, Canadian family, so yeah, I'll definitely be seeing him again, well both of them, and today we're going to hit the road, cleaned up a bit in here, we're going to head towards Tucson, maybe stay the night there, so let's hit the road. It is way past due for a wash, for a bath, and it looks like it's a hand wash extreme place, which is still just down the way, this is right by the exit where the dirt road is where I was hanging out, so $1.25 per foot, got a 21 feet, so it's going to be about 26 bucks I think, God look at how clean it is, I've never seen it this clean except when I first got this thing, holy crap, it is spotless, so if you guys come into Arenberg, it's right next to the Flyin' Jay, over here at the truck wash, wow, it's incredible, all from a producer, so I'll have to pull over and quickly email out a bunch of videos and things, I think I've mentioned before, it's happened a lot before in the past, so yeah, it could be an exciting thing, who knows, I don't know, life is full of possibilities and you never know what can happen to you, so that's why several times when people ask me how I do it, the most important thing to what you do is to do what you enjoy, like for example, if someone wants to be a painter and they say, oh well, you know, I work at a restaurant, but I'm an aspiring painter, you're not aspiring, you already are a painter, you just happen to have a side job at a restaurant, so part of it is convincing yourself that you are this person already and introducing yourself as such, and of course, just go in full steam and just doing what you enjoy, like if you enjoy the painting, then it doesn't matter what kind of recognition you get because you're getting fulfillment within yourself, and if you like eating potato chips, you eat potato chips, it's about doing what makes you happy, and there's all kinds of things that can happen as a result, if you stick to what you love doing, you will get better at it, and at some point you'll probably be compensated for it, which is kind of how I got some jobs in the travel video world, and that's why I'm doing what I'm doing is because I really love traveling, and if I didn't love it, I wouldn't be out here, and the school bus was just my kind of, I don't know, this idea that came in my mind, if you watch the early vlogs, you'll actually see the point where I look over to my friend and say, hey, what about a school bus? He says, yeah, and then half a mile down the road, like there's a school bus in front, like right on the corner, there's a school bus in front of me, and then I pull over and I talk to him, so anyways, as a result of some manifestation, here's my latest project. This is for a visit to California, it should be on their website, it's on their channel, if you want to go over and watch it, the title of it is California 101 Highway 1 Road Trip, and here we go, so let's watch it. Highway 1 is California's most famous road. I'm traveling up along the rugged central coast from San Luis Obispo to Ragged Point, the gateway to Big Sur. So yeah, there we go, let's fast forward a bit, and actually we get some good food here in Morro Bay. Yeah, and I also ate crap on the kayaks twice. After working up quite an appetite, I'm headed to Tognizini's dockside restaurant for some famous barbecue oysters, a staple of the California coast. The oysters are local to the bay, and there's no better place to enjoy them than in the sunshine on the dock where they're brought in daily. Boom, there we go, manifesting stuff. So anyways, I guess that visit California, if you want to go check that out, give it a thumbs up, let them know, you know, that got people watching me, they're excited for me to do other projects and things like that. Anyways, I didn't make much progress, I'm about 40 miles east of where I started, where I got the, you know, bus wash, so ate a peak, it's at the road. Cruise control turned on. If anybody has a mechanic shop, I will go out of my diesel to get to where I view things on the vehicle, and if anybody has the tools and a little extra time, I'm happy to swing by, hang out for an afternoon, and yeah, flip the switch on the cruise control. Otherwise, I'll just stop by and have that taken care of. The videos are going to be maybe about five days behind reality, and I'm not sure how to properly alert people to where I am, so right now I'm just thinking Louisiana, Alabama, you know, pass through over to Florida, Georgia, I know those are giant states, and you know, there's a bunch of cities, but if I have 60 to 90 days to sell the bus, I definitely want to get through a bunch of states that I didn't see, and I will be kind of going through in a faster pace. I guess I'll shed some light on some of the reasons to sell the bus, and there's got to be tons of questions. Number one is, like I said before in other videos, and public speaking at the LTA event, it is much easier to cut your budget in half than it is to double your income. So if I am going to transition to a new bus, it's probably smart to do it sooner rather than later, if indeed the objective is to spend less money, and it is. Another one is, you're probably wondering, are you crazy to sell your bus? You put so much hard work into it, well, yes, I also risked all of my savings from working in this god-awful place, but also from a really cool hosting, like a travel hosting gig I did with the dairy industry, so I was able to save up my pennies, and you know, I just decided to just go for it. And maybe, and what a lot of people don't really understand about YouTube is that for small creators, it's very difficult to make a living at this. With what I make, there is no way I could even, say if I lived in a city and did videos just to put it in perspective, I could not even afford a place to live and pay for food and all that stuff. So I have been bleeding since I began, I started with a considerable, I mean relative to me, a considerable amount of money to try and get to the point where I would not have to go back to a job job, to where I could do this for a living. And there is a possibility if I would keep on going through the summer, the numbers would jump up, the revenue would jump up, but like I said, if I'm going to get out of a bus for a size reason or a cost reason, I might as well do it now, I still have the money. Because if I run out of cash and want to do it later, then it becomes a burden on myself. So I'm partly trusting my buddy who wants to buy the bus, that he will buy the bus, and if he ends up not buying the bus, then of course I'll have to find someone else, and that would put me in a slight pickle. However, a friend of mine, Bus Life Adventure, sold his bus for more than what we discussed for Dan the Adventure bus, so I'm not really too worried about it, but this is a specialty item, it is a very unique one of a kind thing, and you definitely need somebody who appreciates it and not some person who doesn't appreciate it, I guess. At this point, like I previously mentioned, there are a lot of possibilities floating around for bus number two, there are interesting ideas how to fund it, there are interesting ideas to document it, and all I'm going to say is use your imagination, because if you thought of it, there's a good chance I have thought of it too, and it's going to be, I'm thinking that this new bus would allow me to give back in a way, and whatever form that takes, I think that is important to traveling around and meeting people, doing these videos, I'm here talking about myself, I'm talking to myself, well I'm talking to you guys, but I'm literally talking to myself next to a train track, and over next to a gas station. So it would be nice to do something nice for others to either, yeah, it would definitely be nice to do something for others, it would also be nice to help bring people along who wouldn't normally have the resources to do that, and I think I mentioned like a collab type thing, other creators, that's always fun, I like surrounding myself with good energy, and creative energy, because when you're on the road and you know, you stop and you're documenting life as it is, it's fun to be around other people who also document life with a camera, it just makes you feel less of a weirdo when you go into a store and whoop out your camera and start talking your right hand, it's for everybody who makes videos you know exactly what I'm talking about. So heads up, I put about 15 ways that you guys could help me out, I'll grow the channel, including actually a couple funny ones, and number 15 has been requested for quite some time, so for those of you who are inclined who have been asking, Patreon is open for business, and thank you in advance.
