 Well, guys, look who it is. Steampunk Steve came by to say hello. He also was kind of giving me more moral support than anything. I've kind of reached a dead end point with my enthusiasm for this build. I am excited to get on the road. But boy, oh boy. This is not exactly what I expected when I signed up for this. Of course, I am thrilled how it turned out, though. The fact that I was able to build with so many people and experience a kind of generosity, which is a very unique thing in life. Not everybody gets a chance to be the recipient of so much love and support and just generosity. So I can't really complain. The bus is looking pretty awesome. It's almost done. A WeBoost, cell phone booster. That was in a stand-alone video. Just as a thank you to the company because I've been using their products for several years. And actually, since Jim and Denver recommended it. And Jim and Denver also recommended my Unlimited Hotspot, which I wish I could tell you guys about, but they don't offer it anymore. It's only 20 bucks. And me and exploring with Josh and Cody, we ran that sucker up to 120 gigs one month. And my build was still 22 dollars and one penny. So today's video, we're just going to have more of a casual sort of video. We mounted the WeBoost over there, ran wires and all that stuff and splice into a power source. And all that fun stuff here, which I did. Well, I like watching, but I also like doing. And so the things that I can do, it makes me feel nice. And it's like this reward, right? I feel accomplished. And I feel like, yeah, you're learning stuff that you never had a chance to learn. So here's, we got two things to do. I took this stereo down to a stereo pad in Tucson. Really nice guys. If anybody's from Tucson, you've probably heard of them, because they've been around since, well, way before I was born. So everything's ran except we got to put a GPS antenna up top, so we got to take this off. And then we need to figure out a way to get this massive CB radio cable through. I'm thinking maybe drill on the other side of this. This little thing looks like it pops off. You know, maybe just drill a hole right here and then just go in. I don't really know where it could go down and then just pop in right there. I don't know how you guys are doing today. Throw a comment down below, tell me how your day is, when what you're up to right now, this very second that you were watching this video. Regarding the book giveaway, I have not yet picked a winner. So why don't we do that right now? Full transparency, this is how I am picking a winner. I'm in my YouTube app and there are many, many entries. I'm just going to scroll down. Let's see. I'm going to scroll down, make sure all of them are loaded, so I can give it a fair chance to everybody who left a comment. And thank you guys so much for leaving a comment. If anybody doesn't win and would like to get a copy of this book, it is on Amazon and it is on my Amazon Influencer Store, as well as I think I put a link in this video. I'll try to remember to put one in here as well. I'll just scroll through and just stop. Sounds like a good book, Clinton. All right. Hi Clinton, comma, you have one, period. Oh gosh, I need a microphone. You know what I told my aunt I would do for her is I would grab a whole case of these books personally signed by her to do more giveaways. And for those of you who don't know, I'm just kind of spreading the word. It's my aunt. It's a very good book and yeah, so just getting the word out and helping. And also, if any YouTubers, you know, Audra, Carolyn, you know, anybody who's a reader, please let me know privately in a private message, Instagram, or if you have my number, hit me up or email. And I would love to get the book out to you. And if you're a reader, you know, share your honest opinions and thoughts and help spread the word. My aunt's been working on this for 15 years. She's been like a second mom to me. And just one of the most generous, nice ladies I could have ever been born into for my family. So I just want to make sure that she gets some, you know, some good support and some good, you know, feedback and exposure because she definitely deserves it. And actually, we're going to have to talk to her. She's a former nomad, drove all the way up to Alaska in an RV. And that is where most of the book was written in the summertime. Pretty cool. By herself and a dog. That's pretty badass. Alaska, Alaska, Alaska. So I did something interesting on Instagram. I posted a story and I said, anyone down for Alaska this summer and I have a little voting thing there and it says yes and no and 80% of the people said yes and 80% of the people is exactly 81 people and So is anyone down for an Alaska caravan this summer? Please comment down below and let me know if you would be down because look at all these people. Would not be crazy. You know, and I'm thinking now that this channel has grown, I'm thinking to myself that I should, you know, kind of throw together some fun activities or a caravan or something like that. So I'm thinking this could be pretty cool. Caravan with Jacks, up to Alaska. Now that's of course assuming that I you know, don't become rich and famous before then but chances are good. We'll end up going to Alaska this summer and you know, once I get a little things figured out in my end, transmission, some other responsibilities of my own of course have to budget it out, things like that. I'm thinking this could be a great idea. We could get up to Alaska, go on group hikes, you know, have the buddy system, you know, we could tag team bears and steal the salmon right out of their mouths and take turns, you know, be like two on two wrestling, you know what I mean? It could be really awesome. And yeah, so there's a lot of, you know, open land up there and if we rolled in some place with ten rigs or more, I really think that would be completely okay. So this is open to any viewers, YouTubers, anybody on a, any kind of motorized vehicle for the most part, leaving from because I know somebody's going to ask me the West Coast go up through Washington past kind of Vancouver area and then make our way up, hit some of the mountains, maybe some hot springs and then make our way up, you know, for a couple weeks, maybe averaging say three hours a day, four hours a day driving, it's been too hard, bring your fishing pole, bring your gear and bring your mosquito spray because we know how bad it's going to be. Let me catch you up on what we were doing. By the way, Steve's back. God knows why. He was passing through town and he said, hey. I haven't had Mexican or Chinese in a while. I should visit Jack's. Exactly. So right now we have this wire for a CB radio and if someone says, why are you installing a CB radio? Well, to tell you the truth, I don't really know, but... So you can talk to me! The Alaska trip. I heard it's good to have a CB radio for far off places like Alaska. So I want to be prepared so that's what we're going to do. Job number two is putting this GPS antenna on the roof. There's an existing hole back behind here. So we're going to access that. We're going to take this off again, which is why I didn't finish it. Are you okay? We should run like a half dozen more wires just to be sure. He's not wrong. Part of the reason why I didn't finish this is because you have to tilt and pull it out. Anyways, you get the idea. We're going to drill a massive hole for this here. I hope this is the right one. Okay guys, this is what we're going to do. We're going to drill a hole. Steve's going to be on this side. This is... So... We're going in this kind of blind, but I think we can make it work. So here, let me pass this over to Steve. Let's hope for the best. Thoughts and prayers. Jackson tools. Not exactly really sharp. I'm going to change where damaged before. Yeah, it should be going through right about there. There we go. Now we're grabbing to see how close I predicted. I was off by that much. I predicted here. That's a good spot. You know Steve, since I'm feeling so cool today, I'm going to put my shades on. But actually, it's because these are hot shards flying out of here. This is the closest thing to a safety glasses I have. Which is why I'm leaning back. So what's Jackson's using in his step bit? These are great. If you buy them, get them on Amazon one tenth the price. I used the cone bit also known as a step up bit and we drilled a hole and then I put a grommet in there. So, you know, I'm learning. And, you know, building is more fun with other people. Way more fun with Steve Punk Steve. And, you know, then I get to at least kind of check my work and I don't get paranoid that I'm going to screw everything up. Because honestly, I get afraid I'm going to mess this all up. And then it kind of paralyzes my momentum. Alright guys, exciting things here. This is a GPS antenna for this pioneer system and what I did was delicately took this clip off which goes into the back of the radio and I just kind of pride it here with this razor blade. There's a little edge there. So what we're going to do is basically drill a hole, mount it up there, run the wires and then plug it in here. Good news, oh by the way, KCRW app is my favorite. You should download it. It's free, commercial free. Community supported and we're going to have to hit that because of copyright but this is like the most amazing app. It's a community supported radio. They have the live, they have Eclectic24 which is music. They have News24 which is NPR. It's awesome. We don't cast all kinds of stuff. Anyways, back to the radio. We plugged in the GPS. It's on the roof. We drilled a hole. Life is good over here. Steve still has his beard and so yeah, I'm going to jump on the roof and play with some adhesive. So Steve has these really cool what do you even call these things? They're fiberglass rods for pulling wire and they are very flexible. Do you get them at Harbor Freight? I got them at Harbor Freight. They sell two different kinds. These are like three feet long two foot long ones. Yeah. But they all screw together. That's awesome. And they come in a tube. I think it's like 30 feet long. So basically fish tape but in short segments. Cool. So as you can see, I'm just taking the tape off of here. Thanks Steve. I tightly taped it. I like the electrical tape. It's a little elastic and you know, doesn't leave a residue and it's thin so I don't know. There we go. Perfect. So we just fed this wire down down. We didn't have to take this off. Thank God. It's the devil. It's not fun. It's just plus I got the speakers in now whatever. So we ended up going right behind here. There's like two grommets in there. Grommets are just rubber things that, you know, to protect the wires. Anyways, ran it down. Fished it through there here. We'll run it around and we'll do something with that CB radio at some point. Alright, picking up where we put down. This is the following day. I just want to thank Steve for coming by to yesterday. It was honestly so much fun. It was so much more fun being here by myself like I am right now. But just to show you guys, work on some things. That's this little paracord, excuse me paracord stuff. I'm not a fan of things flopping around banging it, you know, metal banging into metal, rattling. It's not the best job though. It's slightly a skew. But anyways, let me show you how easy it is. Alright. So when you put it up, you just take this off, replace it, lock it back in place. That's why I didn't need to have an extra eye hook, eye bolt, right? Because it uses the same thing. So nice and clean. Nice and easy. Hopefully nobody puts their baby on here. This is not a baby training station. I don't know if the paracord is strong enough for dirty diapers. So if you see me at a tiny house festival, or if you see me parked, don't use it for that. But feel free to use the solar power charging station in the back. I have a low battery and I'm not really sure what else I'm going to do. Full on the warm side even in the wintertime here. Riproaring 70 degrees. I'll check in with you guys in a little bit and let you know what kind of mischief I get into. Also, if you guys are wondering what is going on with the cell phone booster today, the WeBoost 4G X OTR on the road is consistently doubling my data speeds. So if anybody's out there, any YouTubers, anybody who works on the road, anybody who is a Netflix addict, this is a product for you. Alright, I did something extremely handy. Probably should have done this before. This is my to-do list. Sealing whitewash, wire chaste, stain the bathroom, paint, poly, wire chase, wall sconce, closet bathroom doors, transmission, then floors, then trim, cushions, exterior paint. I'm going to put more paint on. Cell, secure sink, shower curtain, curtains. Alright, Anna back. So here's the update right now. I'm here to work. I bought some more cedar. I got this, this stuff is from Lowe's. I bought some stuff from Home Depot. It didn't really fit that well because it came from a different mill and I didn't know this, but all wood is not the same. Right? So if it comes from a different mill, it has different thicknesses, different source, you know, all that stuff. So anyways what I'm now focusing on is taking pictures. This might sound, you might be like what? They're trying to get your bus done. Well part of my responsibility is to take pictures for a sponsor, so it's driving me crazy, so I'm actually going to put a big pause on my progress and I'm going to take the bus out tomorrow. I'm probably not going to film it if I do you will know. But anyways I'm in picture mode in my brain because I have this strange fear of failure. So if I don't do it I'm going to freak out.
