Ah, the glorified milk bottle! Yep, get the oil change, you don't need more van trouble. Best of luck with your meeting with the surgeon. Hugs to you and Penny.
Matt you are a GIFT to all of us out here. You'd be a blast to hang with. THANK YOU for the RIDE AWESOME THANKS many blessings protecting ANGELS AROUND YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.
Ontario has Autumn - warm days, cool nights, beautiful colour from the leaves turning. Alberta has Fall - the one day late Sept early October when all the leave fall off the trees! 😁😁
@@marconionI literally live in one of the few places in the UK that doesn't get snow, it's frustrating and why I crave snow so much thereby living vicariously through people who get snow. I also follow UA-camrs who live in northern Sweden and Svalbard for the same reason.😊
Don't get me wrong the first snowfall is beautiful but that beauty wares off pretty quickly when that snow sticks around for the next 5 or so months. I'll take rain over snow anytime! lol@@TheLeopardGirl
Penny really is the star of the show. She will not run on command. She will do as she DAMN WELL pleases. Thankyouverymuch. And yes. she's a chatty gal who knows her mind.
LET'S DO IT!👍🤗 ...What a JOY I'm sure for you to hear 'Lil' Brooklyn's voice, mimicking you ...as it definitely does put a SMILE on my face!☺️. I really ENJOYED this time walking, talking, sharing, shopping, lunch, fixes & gifts ...with you and PRETTY Penny!😊💖🐱. Thanks for the journey ... always take care, stay safe & be bless'd.😇🙏
One thing I was not aware of but made perfect sense when I learned about it was that if you were filming yourself walking away from the camera or towards the camera, you had to do that at least twice. Unless you had a camera person, you have to walk once to set up the camera and then once again to film yourself doing it, and then go back to get the camera. 😮
It is indeed a lot of ( a.k.a. great deal of) work and utilizes an interesting level of planning. Not bad for someone who hints that he has ADD/ADHD or something akin to it, eh? Back in prehistoric days, kids with that level energy and shifting focus were described as "very busy children" and their parents taught them alternative yet productive distractions. For Matthew, this is reflected in his ability to take on new adventures and pass the results and energy along for the rest of the wold to enjoy! Thank you, Matthew!!!
🍂 Autumn 🍁 is THE best time of year! Temps are comfortable, just a little chill in the mornings, just enough to have a cup of something hot to warm you up. The air is fresher, the trees are so pretty, PLUS 🎃, 👻, Halloween! And nostalgic horror movies 😊.
That's what I'm doing right now. Cleaning out my vanlife camper pickup cleaning it up while listening,, and texting listening to Penny and her pet human Matthew. 💯🤩
I love following you around as you go about your day. You make the most mundane tasks look interesting. I enjoy your interactions with Penny. She is a fluffy ball of love. Ya'll enjoy your travels, and I pray for your safety. ❤❤❤
The controller hangers look great. Thank you again for taking us with you on your daily journey. We all love hanging out with you. It's like hanging out with a good friend.
Yep, New Englanders in general always have added a penny with a knife gift as well. We also always carried even a penny in a pocket to never be totally broke and *always* picked one up off the ground. "Find a penny, pick it up, all day long, you'll have good luck."
Hi Jackie, Dave here. Aurora says "Hi"... yes, it is nice to go on a 'ride along' with him... I used to live in Calgary right in the general area he mostly hangs out in... for me, today's memory was when he passed "The Carriage House"... I used to party there in my my late teens/early twenties. Fish creek was my mountain biking spot (well, long before then, it was the place me and my friends jumped on our bikes, and cycled *out of town* on Macleod Trail, turning into Highway 2, and finally catching frogs, and doing other things young boys do when unsupervised. lol.) The Walmart he stays at was farmers fields back then... Midnapore(he'll know where that is), was a big debate I recall back then, as to what to call the area was Calgary swallowed it up... after much city council debate, etc... some genius said, hey, its called Midnapore, why don't we just use the same name? lol. Yes... I do enjoy the ride alongs in south Calgary... its like seeing a memory that, way back then, wasn't recorded to death.. they were memories of the mind... and these drives bring them back to life for me. By the way, where are you located, Jackie?(just curious, you don't have to say. lol.)👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦
@@BorealisNights Hi Dave (& little Aurora😻), my “wandering“ with Matthew is long distance- I’m in Winnipeg 😂. My only visit to Calgary was when I drove out for the Patreon meet-up at Kananaskis in June. He makes it look so easy to get around in Calgary- I was very glad to have Google maps assistant or I’d have gotten lost more often than I did😂.

Hope the meeting with the surgeon is productive! I really like the way you set up your videos with chapter titles and numbers. It really feels like a serial.
Good luck in your visit with the surgeon on Monday. I hope he is able to tell you what he can do for you and is able to schedule you for something that would be helpful.
When I was walking on the college campus back property, I saw ahead of me a strange glow. A huge stand of tamaracks. Insanely gorgeous with a very bright orange glow. Needles on the ground & still on some trees. Probably my most memorable Autumn moment 😌🧡
Careful there, Troy... once you go down that dark path, there is no return! You don't own a cat... a cat owns you.🙃 (from an old guy with three soft, furry, cuddly, lovable, PRISON GUARDS... oops, I mean, cats.)
Wow...$113 for an oil change ouch!...I didn't know the story regarding a gift of a knife/give a coin custom until you mentioned it so I had to look it up. Well done Matthew!

penny reminds me of my lily nana ... i miss my roger and lily so much// when penny talks back to you silently, its like my lily.. my roger had a loud meow' thank you matt, you bring back so many memories of Roger/Lily nana
@Matthew , I thought something was wrong with my phone at the beginning of this video with the "dark & blurry" scene 😭!!! Cute Ms Penny 🐱 is looking like a fluffy-chunky pretty princess as usual 💝💝🌷Fall is my favorite season, but we don't experience it until winter here in Florida USA 😂 Holly Molly, $113.00 for an oil change!!! My Mr pays $60.00usd at Toyota for his Tacoma Truck's 🚚 oil change, & it use to be $40.00usd pre-pandemic. The eggs are expensive there too. I get 18-eggs pasture-raised large brown from Sam's Club for $4.98usd. Good eggs are worth it though & so are pretzel buns👍😜 Maybe a BLT on the pretzel bun would be nice with that good bacon you got.
I'm glad you found a source of good wholesome milk. 👍 I make my own brown sugar on-demand so that there aren't any leftovers to turn rock solid. I just add molasses to my regular organic cane sugar. It only takes about 1 tablespoon for a cup of sugar--and that makes dark brown sugar. It takes a while to incorporate the two, but it does work out in the end. I like how I can easily adjust how light or dark I want the end product, and none of it goes to waste. "Let's do it!" LOL, Brooklyn! 😁
Matt Brooklyn is such a little Matthew lol and as far as penny guards last time I checked, they usually don’t hang around too long. I know why you leave her in her little. Round pen.❤🍀👍
Its Shawna from Edmonton let me know when you are you in the city. Would be happy to meet you and Penny, I watch your videos and you inspire me to one day own a van and roam.❤❤
Hey Shawna. Please keep in mind my videos are on a large delay, especially now that I have to prepare for all of this. I’m flattered you are enjoying the content so much
Hi Matt, I love pretzel rolls too. They are good with a burger, but I like them with just a spread of good butter and a cup of coffee, of course. Oh, good luck with the surgeon. Carol Hampstead, MD
If you are worried about the controllers falling out in transit, just get some velcro and put the fuzzy soft side on the controller and the grippy part on the holder, problem solved...
Best way to have a taco salad minus the lettuce. Autumn is the best season, the colours, milder temperatures, hardly any bugs, most people are gone back to work and school so less people every where you go. I'm looking forward to taking scenic drives. Have a beautiful weekend Matthew 🤗🤗
Autumn is also my favourite season Matthew. Thanks for sharing a Canadian autumn, beautiful colours, breathtaking scenery and a happy Matt. Happy Days.
👍🏼🍀👍🏼. Looks like a Mora or Morakniv. Maybe? Very popular canoeing 🔪 from the 80s, made in 🇸🇪, and still one of the best in the paddling/camping world.
Holy Cow! Over $100 for an oil change and tires aired? I can get my van done in Oklahoma for $40, plus they top off all of my other fluids. 😱 Ouch! That bill had to hurt a little.
My mom always did carrots with butter and sugar. I’ll have to try the butter, sugar and mustard version! For all the naysayers out there, Williams and Sonoma has a _Carrots Glazed with Mustard and Brown Sugar_ recipe that is very much like what Matthew did it. (Look it up, try it out!) Also there are a bunch of _honey mustard glazed carrot_ recipes out there too. A bunch! Now, I will admit _ALL_ the recipes used Dijon mustard. Not the _yellow_ stuff. Buy hey, what can a van life guy do??? With limited pantry space!!
Before my maiden van trip from Southern Nevada to Seattle, I stopped in our WalMart for the deluxe oil-lube service. And told them to be sure to air up the tires. And I trusted them...big mistake. I noticed the van didn't track well and thought maybe I need a wheel alignment, I stopped in Olympia, Wa, went to the local tire shop and to my shock all four tires had different tire pressures, the rear two with one being 25 and another 40. They were supposed to be 80 and front tires 30 and 50. I have no idea what WalMart's service guys were thinking or smoking but I had just traveled through the rugged mountain country 1,100+ miles.
OUCH! I hope your tires and shocks survived okay! My mechanic gave me a tire gauge and ordered me (not just told but ordered me) to check the tire pressure *every* time I took the van on a trip. Do we need to get you a tire gauge? Hahahah!? (Thumbs up on good intentions but thumbs down on the event!)
Maybe get a pack of stick on magnets and metal discs that you can put on the controllers and the brackets to keep them in place while you are on the move. 👍🏻
Well hello Matthew 👋 Have I told you Iately that I love your Channel.... Well I do😂 Better to pay for an oil change than to suffer if the consequences of not....Take care of yourself, can't wait to see where we go next time 😊 Bye-bye
I have comments... but, strangely, again, I'm hungry after watching one of your vids... just trying to decide if I go with a real fire and a meal, or a few sticks in the pizza oven, and a fully loaded pie... ...decisions, decisions...👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦
LOL that’s what I just said at 24:56 or so. Two great minds but a single thought. Some genius or other said that somewhere down the line. Just dig your videos man.
Twice i had my radiator flushed. I didn't have problems until i had the flush. Now i just have the radiator fluid changed every 5 years. Lol.... no problems now.
Penny was eyeing the oil change receipt saying…. Matthew you should of done it lol. Hope your back is good. Hope that your Dr appt with the surgeon goes great! When you do have the surgery are you stopping the videos or what’s the idea? Your videos are A #1 in my book Matthew! Stay safe and Stay Cool/Warm! BTW, you could do like a highlight reel while your recovering. Just show your favorite moments of Van life.
Nice controller mount area. Maybe put some adhesive-mount velcro on controllers and mounts so that they stay put in transit? But I like your efforts to streamline your space. Kudos.
Hey....YES YOU MATTHEW.. Did you hear that Chrome has Gout and is in a LOOOT OF PAIN? Guess what?? Its becsuse of his diet. You eating all that red meat, sugar, pretzels....get ready my dear. We are not getting any younger. Well....im old already..❤❤❤😮😮😅
Canada has universal Healthcare?? Is that why u have to wait so long for medical / surgery ?? I heard other Canadians say they wait a yr at least. That's insane
You need to understand, he could have had it done quite a ways back, but HE made the PERSONAL decision to put it off, so he could enjoy this past summer with his sweet baby girl. Universal doesn't mean instant.. it simply means "free, and for everyone"... no healthcare system is perfect, and most Canadians would agree with that statement... but at least, to pick one comparison, we don't go broke for the rest of our life just because we had a major health issue, as happens to many Americans. Our real issue as far as delays go, is a shortage of skilled workers(surgeons, etc), which is an issue in almost all jurisdictions around the world. Not trying to be belligerent, Linda.. just saying.. it is what it is, and I think if you were to ask Matthew, he would agree that HE made the choices he did, for the reasons he did, knowing full well the consequences of those decisions... and.. I'd bet a thousand bucks he doesn't regret those decisions.✌🏼🇨🇦
LOL watched the bottle wiggle off screen! LOL The color is nice. And a bit cooler. It takes months any more just for a drs appt. I like flannel shirts for fall/winter. You said that and I remembered I'd had no lunch and I have some "ice cream" in the freezer. Know what I'm having for lunch! Wow Bacon sounds good. LOL. Groceries are going up. I love homemade bread, rolls all that good stuff. NOOOO Matthew - not the dark side!!! LOL She's giving you some telling off! I saw that look. LOL I saw the bosses standing in back. :-) I try to give a good review when someone does that. I put you on pause and got my ice cream. :-) Oh that would make a nice one. Yellow too. Buy you some zip lock bags! Yeah. I'll trade some of my ice cream for some of that taco meat!!!! LOL LOL oh how funny! You are a mess Matthew. LOL I can't quit laughing. I'm gonna see if my carrots will do that! :-) I"ve never put mustard on carrots. HMMMM I like K nife! :-) I like that. I have to do some stuff like that in my micro mini tiny cottage. Yeah. How fast can I get to Canada from Oklahoma USA :-) Such fun bud!!! Byeee
Penny is a lovely fluffy senior gal. She is much too dignified to run around like a young hooligan!
You're right Katherine, Penny flows as opposed to goes!😼🐾💖
🤣🐟
HA! She's all cat -- she does what she likes when she like!s to do it HAHahahaha!!!
Penny is perfect just the way she is!!!
I love it when Penny talks back to you. BTW she's probably right, whatever she said. 😅😊
Yes I learned that also from my past cats. Cats are Always right ✅️
Hope your Surgical Consultation goes well.

I live in middle Tennessee; we always know when the first big, hard (windy) fall rain is coming, because it's always at peak leaf color.
I have never heard of mustard with carrots before...huh...will have to try it.😊
Another banger Matthew. I do enjoy these "day in the life in cowtown" videos.
Marc when the snow comes it'll be even better!❄️🙏🌨️😁
He's got about another month or so before the first snowfall. As an eastern Canadian myself i'm personally not looking forward it. lol@@TheLeopardGirl
@@marconionI literally live in one of the few places in the UK that doesn't get snow, it's frustrating and why I crave snow so much thereby living vicariously through people who get snow. I also follow UA-camrs who live in northern Sweden and Svalbard for the same reason.😊

💯
He really puts alot of thought and effort into his videos, I can't believe he still sets up shots with all the pain he is in.
Yep, having and maintaining a channel, especially as good as Matthews is a hard job. Deserves all he reaps.
This Vloging thing is indeed ALot of work. And Matthew has it down-pat, imho😊
It is indeed a lot of ( a.k.a. great deal of) work and utilizes an interesting level of planning.
Not bad for someone who hints that he has ADD/ADHD or something akin to it, eh?
Back in prehistoric days, kids with that level energy and shifting focus were described as "very busy children" and their parents taught them alternative yet productive distractions.
For Matthew, this is reflected in his ability to take on new adventures and pass the results and energy along for the rest of the wold to enjoy!
Thank you, Matthew!!!
🍂 Autumn 🍁 is THE best time of year! Temps are comfortable, just a little chill in the mornings, just enough to have a cup of something hot to warm you up. The air is fresher, the trees are so pretty, PLUS 🎃, 👻, Halloween! And nostalgic horror movies 😊.
Unless you live in Texas!! It was 93 today. Wednesday’s heat index was 108!! I’m ready for this to Go Away!!
You forgot Thanksgiving, at least in Canada 🍁🇨🇦
Yay new content. Just what I needed 😊 the old say’n is so true a clean environment equals a clear mind 👍
That's what I'm doing right now. Cleaning out my vanlife camper pickup cleaning it up while listening,, and texting listening to Penny and her pet human Matthew. 💯🤩
Aka QUALITY CONTENT EVERYBODY JUST CALM DOWN
I love following you around as you go about your day. You make the most mundane tasks look interesting. I enjoy your interactions with Penny. She is a fluffy ball of love. Ya'll enjoy your travels, and I pray for your safety. ❤❤❤
lets do it... love her laugh in previous videos......respect and like all your family
The controller hangers look great. Thank you again for taking us with you on your daily journey. We all love hanging out with you. It's like hanging out with a good friend.
Our family superstition was always to attach a coin to the gift knife so the relationship wouldn’t be severed. Silly, but there it is.
Like putting some coinage or a bill in a wallet or a purse, etc.👍🏼
Yep, New Englanders in general always have added a penny with a knife gift as well.
We also always carried even a penny in a pocket to never be totally broke and *always* picked one up off the ground. "Find a penny, pick it up, all day long, you'll have good luck."
Oh, carrots looked good! Penny is so sweet!! Safe travels!😊
I call it autumn when the leaves are pretty, fall when all the leaves have fallen, and winter when there is snow on the ground
That pretty much sums it up, ayuhp.
Love your videos! Keep them coming!
Sounds like Lucky is healthy again. ( starting on the first try). Yay for a good running tiny home on wheels!!!😊
A little Velcro will hold the controllers on the holders. Love just wandering around Calgary with you🥰💞😘🏴☠️🍀

Holy Cow! Over $100 for an oil change and tires aired? I can get my van done in Oklahoma for $40, plus they top off all of my other fluids. 😱 Ouch! That bill had to hurt a little.
A carton of 12 xlarge eggs from our Aldi Supermarket last week was only $4.49 here in South Australia 😊
Kites are a cheep and easy entertainment for kiddos 😊
This should be interesting. My day today is all about defeat 🤦♀️
TGIF Matt, amber, miss B, and “cat”
My mom always did carrots with butter and sugar. I’ll have to try the butter, sugar and mustard version!
For all the naysayers out there, Williams and Sonoma has a _Carrots Glazed with Mustard and Brown Sugar_ recipe that is very much like what Matthew did it. (Look it up, try it out!)
Also there are a bunch of _honey mustard glazed carrot_ recipes out there too. A bunch! Now, I will admit _ALL_ the recipes used Dijon mustard. Not the _yellow_ stuff. Buy hey, what can a van life guy do??? With limited pantry space!!
People will always have an opinion. Take care of yourself, Penny, Lucky, your kiddo and yourself as you see fit. ( think that is the sayin)
D Dutchman is the best Chocolate Milk you will ever have in your life. #FACTS
WAIT - What happened to U-Wrench?!
Matthew, it must be fun to think about and set up your shots! What a lovely day!
Before my maiden van trip from Southern Nevada to Seattle, I stopped in our WalMart for the deluxe oil-lube service. And told them to be sure to air up the tires. And I trusted them...big mistake. I noticed the van didn't track well and thought maybe I need a wheel alignment, I stopped in Olympia, Wa, went to the local tire shop and to my shock all four tires had different tire pressures, the rear two with one being 25 and another 40. They were supposed to be 80 and front tires 30 and 50. I have no idea what WalMart's service guys were thinking or smoking but I had just traveled through the rugged mountain country 1,100+ miles.
OUCH! I hope your tires and shocks survived okay! My mechanic gave me a tire gauge and ordered me (not just told but ordered me) to check the tire pressure *every* time I took the van on a trip.
Do we need to get you a tire gauge? Hahahah!?
(Thumbs up on good intentions but thumbs down on the event!)
Maybe get a pack of stick on magnets and metal discs that you can put on the controllers and the brackets to keep them in place while you are on the move. 👍🏻
Well hello Matthew 👋
Have I told you Iately that I love your Channel.... Well I do😂
Better to pay for an oil change than to suffer if the consequences of not....Take care of yourself, can't wait to see where we go next time 😊 Bye-bye
Love the controller setup --- add some velcro to each rack and a tiny bit for each controller. They'll stay fairly well. Rock on man.
“Look at her go!” 😂😂🤣 Penny goes out to run around and instead grazes like a cow🤣
Try using some of those flat bag clips and a ceramic disc to throw in the sugar to keep it soft.
I just started the video but I hope it's Lucky and not you going into the shop with such short notice.
I have comments... but, strangely, again, I'm hungry after watching one of your vids... just trying to decide if I go with a real fire and a meal, or a few sticks in the pizza oven, and a fully loaded pie...
...decisions, decisions...👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦
LOL that’s what I just said at 24:56 or so. Two great minds but a single thought. Some genius or other said that somewhere down the line. Just dig your videos man.
Here in the US we would call your lunch Nachos 😂 Yum!😊
Hi Matthew
Twice i had my radiator flushed. I didn't have problems until i had the flush. Now i just have the radiator fluid changed every 5 years. Lol.... no problems now.
Penny was eyeing the oil change receipt saying…. Matthew you should of done it lol. Hope your back is good. Hope that your Dr appt with the surgeon goes great! When you do have the surgery are you stopping the videos or what’s the idea? Your videos are A #1 in my book Matthew! Stay safe and Stay Cool/Warm! BTW, you could do like a highlight reel while your recovering. Just show your favorite moments of Van life.
Nice controller mount area. Maybe put some adhesive-mount velcro on controllers and mounts so that they stay put in transit? But I like your efforts to streamline your space. Kudos.
Just a thought, put a little piece of Velcro on the controller and the other part on the hanger and maybe they’ll stay there….😉
Hey....YES YOU MATTHEW.. Did you hear that Chrome has Gout and is in a LOOOT OF PAIN? Guess what?? Its becsuse of his diet. You eating all that red meat, sugar, pretzels....get ready my dear. We are not getting any younger. Well....im old already..❤❤❤😮😮😅
Canada has universal Healthcare?? Is that why u have to wait so long for medical / surgery ?? I heard other Canadians say they wait a yr at least. That's insane
Oh yes, hubby just seen surgeon for hip replacement. 4/5 MONTH wait for surgery DATE, which will be 6- 8 weeks from then.
You need to understand, he could have had it done quite a ways back, but HE made the PERSONAL decision to put it off, so he could enjoy this past summer with his sweet baby girl.
Universal doesn't mean instant.. it simply means "free, and for everyone"... no healthcare system is perfect, and most Canadians would agree with that statement... but at least, to pick one comparison, we don't go broke for the rest of our life just because we had a major health issue, as happens to many Americans. Our real issue as far as delays go, is a shortage of skilled workers(surgeons, etc), which is an issue in almost all jurisdictions around the world.
Not trying to be belligerent, Linda.. just saying.. it is what it is, and I think if you were to ask Matthew, he would agree that HE made the choices he did, for the reasons he did, knowing full well the consequences of those decisions... and.. I'd bet a thousand bucks he doesn't regret those decisions.✌🏼🇨🇦
Eggs are $7. Per dozen? YIKES! Here in Michigan they're just over $2. for jumbo.😊
$7.00 Canadian $ is about $5.15 US, still expensive. Oil change and tire issues came out as about $83 US. Yep, it’s more expensive in Canada.
LOL watched the bottle wiggle off screen! LOL The color is nice. And a bit cooler. It takes months any more just for a drs appt. I like flannel shirts for fall/winter. You said that and I remembered I'd had no lunch and I have some "ice cream" in the freezer. Know what I'm having for lunch! Wow Bacon sounds good. LOL. Groceries are going up. I love homemade bread, rolls all that good stuff. NOOOO Matthew - not the dark side!!! LOL She's giving you some telling off! I saw that look. LOL I saw the bosses standing in back. :-) I try to give a good review when someone does that. I put you on pause and got my ice cream. :-) Oh that would make a nice one. Yellow too. Buy you some zip lock bags! Yeah. I'll trade some of my ice cream for some of that taco meat!!!! LOL LOL oh how funny! You are a mess Matthew. LOL I can't quit laughing. I'm gonna see if my carrots will do that! :-) I"ve never put mustard on carrots. HMMMM I like K nife! :-) I like that. I have to do some stuff like that in my micro mini tiny cottage. Yeah. How fast can I get to Canada from Oklahoma USA :-) Such fun bud!!! Byeee
October 18th is my birthday xx Another great video xx
