 Oh man, good morning from Bucky's. If you don't know what Bucky's is, you gotta come here. I got one of the stickers for my bus. Over there in front of me, it says pump number 209, 210, that one is 231. I mean, this place is insane. I mean, it goes on for days and days and days in here. It's seriously like my favorite gas station ever. And because they sell so much gas at quantity, they have some pretty good prices out here. I would say 19 cents, 15 to 19 cents cheaper than anywhere else. So yeah, actually I just got off the phone with Badge. He's still out there helping people out. It just blows my mind what a kind person he is. So he said, if anybody else comes out there, ask for the Jack's special and help you out. So he's in the comments. My UMB is his handle. So hello from Texas. And boy oh boy, do I have a lot of thank yous coming. I took the last two days off. One day, it was an errand day. I got myself, took back my boots that broke and some other ones arrived in the mail and some other kind of things. I got a camera cleaner with the little, to make sure the lens is clean. And then I saw, like I said, by a friend of mine who's going to remain anonymous, but he's in the entertainment industry and just a phenomenal, phenomenal person. So I got some great one-on-one time with him and was able to share 100% of my personal story, which I don't do with everyone. There's a lot of skeletons in the closet, you could say, but I think one day it would be nice to share in some kind of book or, you know, screenplay or, I don't know, something. Because it's, you know, this is a very interesting story and the story is just, it's still continuing. So that's, that was a lot of fun to see them and all that stuff. So let's jump into some thank yous because I have a huge long list. By the way, we've already surpassed what I make on YouTube. So thank you guys. It's just so nuts that people are just showing so much love and I, I'm just so touched and I just, I'm not at a loss of words. It means so much to me and it just blows me away at what technology can do these days and connecting people. And yeah, it's amazing. Well, like I said, this is a long list. It's blown my mind beyond my wildest expectations in just a couple of days. So many people have joined in. So I guess we can even start from the very beginning with Corona Rich. I already thanked him. Thanks again. You were the number one, the first person on here. And then Brent, I think I mentioned before, Matt Jackson actually met him in person a while ago. And he's got this really cool vintage Volkswagen bus kind of thing. If you're curious, look for him in the comments or Matt just write a comment and say, hey, it's me. There is also Georgina Hale. Thank you very much. Tony K. Fletcher. Thank you for the donation. We have a Martin Krebs and also Mama Bill, William Bill Morris. So thank you guys as well. So it's great. Even some of my family and friends are just joining in and people I haven't met yet and people I have met at RTR and some other places. Jules, thank you so much for your donation. Rosie Higgins, thank you very much. And then we have a Mark Krueger. Thank you for the Patreon pledge. Melanie May, thank you as well. And Del Tanner unlocked the executive producer. So you will be seeing Mama Bill and then you'll see Del Tanner at the end of them. So everyone is equal in my eyes. That's why everybody gets a thank you in the video. So thank you so much. I also did sign up for insurance. So just going through all the emails. Scott Bloomfield, thank you. Nick Leeser, I think I pronounced that correctly. Thank you. Tim Norman, thank you. Phillip Hallenberg, thank you. And then it looks like Nomad Nurse, the one who gave us some excellent advice, kidney advice, hydration advice. He jumped in as well. Thank you very much. Also, fantastic video. People really love the tips. John Davidson, thank you. Rory K. Tippett, thank you. I think Raffae Langston, I think I pronounced that correctly. Thank you. John Hansen, thank you. And we have a Andy Whitaker, thank you as well. Bonnie Lee Tyler, thank you. Phillip Hallenberg, thank you. And then we got some more last night in the middle of the night. Justin Shillington, thank you. And last but not least, oh, I think that was it, because that was just a post by Justin as well. Thank all of you so much. And for everybody who just watched the past two minutes of me thanking people, thank you for watching. But yeah, just spreading good vibes out here, traveling. You know, just showing you guys what the life is like. And I'll be blasting through. I'm going over to Florida, see the aunt and uncle. And then we'll be heading north quickly after that, because it is warm. So let's hit the road. Sorry for the long rant. But that's part of joining the bus life here, you know? So let's hit the road. There is a site called freecampsites.net. And this is what it looks like. And so basically, you just go on the site and then you type in a location or it will find where you are. And you can zoom out using a two-finger scroll on the Mac. And I actually found some place down here that looks interesting. Oyster Lake Park. So you click on that. And it's a good... It will give you the name, but it looks like it won't give you the GPS location. So let's see if we can zoom in right in there. Alright, let's cross-reference on Google real quick and see what we can find. So this is how it comes up on Google Earth. And then if you kind of zoom in right there, it looks like there's a little turnaround. Hopefully it's not too sandy, because I'll get stuck. Otherwise, yeah, that could be a possible place. Alright, another app is iOverlander. This one is user-submitted. So it just depends on how many people are using it and then people submit places. See, there's something right there. I'm going to guess that's a rest stop. Yep, Colorado Country Rest Stop, County Rest Stop. And then there's some information. And I believe this is 100% user-submitted. Alright, another app is Campinium. I've got to say it is not my favorite, only for the fact that once you find some options around you, it wants you to like log in. And I haven't made an account yet, so it's kind of like annoying a little bit. And I guess that's my fault, because again, I haven't signed up. So you click on something and it just goes to this. I'm not really sure why they want you to log in, but this is what you can find. And I think it goes away once you actually sign up for their app. But this is the only app that does that. Another app is Boondocking. And again, these are separate apps, user-submitted. Looks like there's an RV park, truck stop. Clearly a lot less options than like Trucker Path and some of the other ones. But if you use all of them, you can find different places with different information and just cross-reference them. Between all these references, you should be able to park for free someplace. But a lot of Boondockers, it's not our favorite place, but it is definitely a place that you do end up at right now. I am at a Walmart. I'm going to get some food and things like that. This is called OMONP Walmart, which is overnight parking Walmart. Some of them, you have to read the reviews in here. Some of them say it's okay. Some of them say it's not okay. Rule of thumb, you could always ask for permission. Walmart's are pretty known to be friendly to RVs because people come in and spend so much money and they want their business. All right, this one here is my favorite. However, I'm not in the West Coast, so I highly doubt I'm going to find anything around here, but this is US Public Lands app on Apple and it tells you where all the public lands are. A lot of the yellowish orange is BLM. Land, dark green I think is National Forest. So these are, you own this land. I own this land. It is public land. And so you can stay someplace up to 14 days with the exception of national parks. You have to stay in a designated parking area and pay a fee. So anyways, those are the apps that I'm currently using. Hopefully that's a good resource for you. At some point, every single person watching this video will either go on a road trip or has a friend or family member which will go on a road trip and all these apps are highly, highly valuable for free parking and camping and just being out in nature. So please enjoy. By the way, I just renewed my good Sam. It's best to call them and renew it because you have to tell them you have a school bus and stuff. But yo, I just met Angel here at the Walmart parking lot. And he's like, yo, can I ride your car? And I'm like, hell yeah, man. So show us how it's done. Actually, it's about practicing to go to the store. There you go. It's all in the hips, man. Yeah, nice, man. Angel wants to get a school bus. Is that right? Yes. Actually, I'm planning to get a school bus. At some point. Yeah. The short one, the big one. Me too. A little bit bigger than this because I'm going to have a good crowd. A lot of women around. Oh man, just had like a half an hour conversation with the zoo to Angel. Such a nice dude right there. Yo man, good to meet you. Oh, that's so rad. He's like, yo, I saw your bus and then I went to fill up the tank and, you know, I figured if he was there and I was still there, it was meant to be. And I said, bro, it's always meant to be if you see me. So if anybody sees me, just come up and say hi. Super friendly. Probably talk your off for a bit. And yeah, so having a great day out here in somewhere in Texas. Oh, also I figured out where I was going to go. If I didn't already mention, I'm going to head towards the Gulf and see the Gulf of Mexico for the first time in my life. Actually, first time in my life. Yes. I had to make a U-turn and pull into timeless Texas classics. Classic vehicles, sales parts, consignment. They also have some school buses in the back or at least one of them for sure. And it looks like I found my parking spot. It says tire kicker. That's for sure what I'm going to do. It's kicks and tires around here. I had to make a U-turn and pull into timeless Texas classics. Classic vehicles, sales parts, consignment. They also have some school buses in the back or at least one of them for sure. And it looks like I found my parking spot. It says tire kicker. That's for sure what I'm going to do. It's kicks and tires around here. Well, that's a pretty good sign next to the road. And it looks like this here is an old John Deere tractor for sale. That's pretty awesome. 2400 bucks for a seemingly vintage tractor. I know absolutely nothing about tractors other than the fact that you ride them. For all I know it actually could be a working tractor. And this is a nice, I don't know, the tracker kind of thing. Another tractor for sale. Nice old pickup truck. Look at this. This one's about 10 grand. This one's registered as a farm truck. Wow! It is missing a little headlight, but for something this old I think that's about normal. Inside doesn't look too bad. A little on the dusty side. Comes with a tire. I don't know. Badge probably knows what that is. Check out this sweet ride. You're only missing a longhorns on the front and boss hog behind the wheel. Whoa! Check out this old cop car. That is pretty freaking awesome. Whoa! And that's the old Ford logo. Can't tell you that I knew that. I'm not very good with old vintage cars or anything. But golly, look at how cool that is. Great condition in these old, oh my God. Look at how perfect this one is. I'm going to guess the price on this one and say $40,000. Oh, not too bad. $26,000. Midlife prices. But look at how nice this thing is. Wow! Somebody did a fantastic job restoring this. I have no idea what year it is. But whoa, look at the dash. Let me try and block some of the... Wow. Oh my gosh. It's so nice. This one says Ford Fairlane. I'm sure there's going to be people that know what kind of car this is in the comments. So feel free to tell us about it because I left my phone and I'm not going to Google every single one of these cars. But like I said, it's right off of the highway here. I met Roger out here behind the whole thing and he's going to give me a tour of the bus that I spotted from the highway. So what's going on, first of all, with the smokestacks there? Well, it's hooked up to a propane bottle and you can just hit the switch and it blows out flames. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I see the wires coming in. So that's to ignite it right here. And then up top, it looks like there's the igniter, the spark. And goodness gracious. Right, well, after you. So the electrical stuff is sort of my end of the business. Then the chair... That's a nice chair. But it rotates around. Look at the flex steel. These are like the fancy RV chairs. Cool. Okay, so this is more of a... This is the social area right in here. That's nice. And there's a table that fits here in the floor. We decided on, because there are four of us, another guy comes from Nashville, used to live in Houston. And this bus is the swap meet bus? Yes, it is. So then this is our traveling configuration where the various things get put up. And then underneath, we have a variety of these kinds of boxes with things in it. Here is inside the restoration part. Some diagnostics going on and also some restorations. And I guess I get them ready to be on consignment on the inside. The one yesterday is going to sweep. Really? Interesting, interesting. And I heard there's a couple of famous people who come in from time to time and buy things as well. Interesting. So here is the inside of the showroom. There is all kinds of interesting things. It sounds like lots of turnovers, so you never know what you're going to find in here. And I would say it's part museum, part car dealership. So come on by and check it out. This is somebody's front yard from someone who commented on that this fish is like a religious thing, I guess. Because I guess some people don't eat meat on Fridays. Good Friday, I think. And so they do fish, which I didn't know. So that's very cool to fly this fish ride. I hope it's like a local thing and that would be super spontaneous and super fun. So I think it's coming up here. Alright, here we go. I'm going to get a plate to go. Nada Community Center, St. Mary's Nada. I don't know where to go for this, but this is super awesome and I feel a little out of place out here. I'm not going to lie, although I'm sure the people out here are super friendly. Yeah, plate's to go. Drive-thru. I'm going to the drive-thru. This is so rad. And also, PS, look at how beautiful that building is. And here we go. $10 a plate for a fish fry. Plate's to go. Enter here. It's cooking the fish over here on the Fish Friday, Catfish Fridays. Just a fish fry. Alright, so we're in Nauta, Texas right now. Nate Neda. Sorry, okay. Best fish fry in Texas. Is it? Alright, so we're at the Community Center down here. Do you guys do this every Friday? Yeah. Okay, everybody's welcome, huh? Everybody's welcome. Alright, well thank you so much. Wow. Talk about feeling like a fish out of water, but you know what? Everybody was so kind. It was just me that felt a little out of place that never, I don't know, never been to such a small town kind of thing where everybody probably knows each other. You know, here I am all by myself. But yeah, swing by Neda, Texas. Let's take a peek at this here fish fry. This is what you get for $10. Holy mackerel. Well, I should say catfish. It's really good. It's just definitely not on my diet. I should say the gulf, which is connected to the ocean. And I'm very, very excited about that because I love water. And I have not seen the ocean in way too long. Oh, by the way, we should definitely try this fishing. I'm so hungry. Now for some strange reason, I wanted to eat this down at the water. Well, the beach. And also, for some strange reason, I felt like a fish out of water over there for some reason. It doesn't normally happen to me. Not that anybody made me feel uncomfortable about it. I just thought to myself, boy, we're in a whole different place. Very nice people. And very, very good catfish. And I had a feeling I would regret not going inside and checking it out. And of course, I kind of regretted not going inside and checking it out. So, I will have to fight the feeling next time. And, you know, going to check it out. So, good stuff, even if it's cold, an hour and a half later. Thank you so much for watching. I will see you guys on the road tomorrow.
