    Crazy weather!! Here in BC we have snow in the higher mountain passes too. Usually on the May long weekend we get rain and we are, but I love it. I want rain like that once a week until the end of August. I dread the fires that happen in the interior. It has been quality content Matthew and you managed it with Grace....literally!! Thank God for Grace to allow easy access on the roads. It won't last much longer and I hope you are out of it soon, but I just realized that was probably a week or so ago and we are still having strange weather.

    An other perfect reason to have the solo firepit, you can enjoy a fire even if available pit is buried in snow.
    I'm so thankful for your videos they really help me stay motivated you give me such great positive energies. Been going through alot lately. I was talking to a friend today and she asked if I was seeing my therapist as I've been in such better spirits and able to push through more, I told her yes and he's the best and most affordable therapist out there. She asked what were your fees I said well I share a UA-cam premium membership so cost a few dollars for that and a Patreon membership. She looked at me and said let me guess it's that guy that you have that Be Happy It Drives People Crazy purple hoodie. I smiled and said absolutely. (purple as it's my favorite color and purple is the colour for mental health illnesses awareness) We laughed, she said I was crazy how can he be a therapist I said his vlogs are therapeutic and he ain't afraid to tell you to get your poops in a group. Reminds me that only dead fish go with the flow, set's the record straight tells me to go out there and be positive. She said to tell you she much appreciates you and yes she is now a subscriber of your channel, I said to her so I guess turns out you need a therapist too 😂.
    Much love 🤗🤗

    You did great!!
    And I’ve wondered for a while now why you haven’t taken advantage of the great outdoors and camped in the woods. Especially with a 20- 8:58 30 minute drive. I believe your thoughts of van life will pick back up now. Make every day a special day. You look more at home out there. 👍🏽❤️

    Matthew the rotation of the Earth must’ve sped up, it’s the only explanation I can figure out for your hat to keep turning in one direction like that. You should start out with the words in the back and see if as a day goes by if they end up in the front. It should be an interesting experiment… to entertain me lol. It’s either that or you just turn your head to the right much faster than you do to the left. Perhaps that will be experiment number two.
