I'm so sorry. You both have been working so hard. My heart goes out to you. Things will turn around. Just a bad run right now for sure. Deep breath.❤ You are amazing.
Thank you!! It will all workout. I know it. 🫶🫶🫶
We’ve all been there. Suck it up, attitude is altitude, LETS GO!
I’m so sorry about your accident, I’m glad you weren’t hurt! 😢
I hope your days turn brighter for you both soon. ☀️
Take care and stay safe. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot. ❤️
Painter. Long distance hiker and a mechanic. 👍🏼👏🏼,, so sorry about the accident. .. hope 🙏 REI sees the value in what yall do, like we all do.
Yo Painter! Thank you for the kind words!
🙏🙏
You're both so capable!
Thank you 🫶
God bless you both. I admire your love for each other and how you support.
Thank you so much!!
Oh my gosh! Was not expecting your video to end on this note. So so sorry for your accident; it truly shakes you to the core.
God Bless you both.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. 💕
Your so lucky to have each other! Bless you , here's a 🤗 hug and you're luck will improve!
You’re so sweet! 💕💕💕
May things turn around for you both real quick. Glad that you are ok physically. 🙏🏾
Thank you, we appreciate the good vibes 🙏
The upside is you guys really love each other and are weathering life together. Touchdown.!!! And, I just bought one of your books.!! Looking forward to receiving it.
Thank you, that means so much! 🥰
Yes, I’m counting my blessings!
The hits keep coming on some days. Always love when they fix one thing at the shop and manage to damage/break something else. We're down to one vehicle now too and about a week after I sold mine, the one we kept had issues. Then we also had an accident and the car was totaled. Hope your van can be fixed and you're physically OK. Sending hugs!
Ugh, it never ends. I’m so sorry!
I’m ok and feeling lucky!
Hope your car stuff works out. 🥰🥰🫶
Life happens!!! So glad you are not injured…its emotionally exhausting to always be trying to get ahead of the curve. You will do this- deep breath! 🥰🥾🥾⛺️
I needed to hear that! 🫶
Oh no! 😮 Are you OK? 😢
Here's a hug from Newfoundland 🤗❤
Yes! Thank you for asking. Counting my blessings it wasn’t worse!! 🥰🥰🫶🫶 hugs back!!
Glad to be here. I understand, still trying to replace the oil pan gasket on my 98 Astro. ;)
OMG, I'm so sorry to hear about all this going on especially your accident. Are you okay? I'm rooting for you guys. Literally, when it rains it pours. I feel like with me, when it rains, it floods. Sending you good vibes and hugs 🤗
You are the best!! Thank you for the encouragement. Love you Shybee!! Xoxo
Susie, so sorry to hear of your run of bad luck with the van, especially just get fixed. Hang in there you and Robert can get through this.
God Bless
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot. 🙏❤️
Awwwww! I hope you were able to figure everything out with your transportation. So glad you were ok 🤗
Thanks so much! It was a wild one for sure, but I'm ok! 😊
Oh man. So sorry about your van. At least you aren’t hurt? How did your book pitch to REI go and your in-person meeting? Seeing all your boxes of books inspired me to get going and get my book finished. Congratulations! You have your health. The poor van can be fixed.
Nope, not hurt so honestly it was the best case scenario. I’m so grateful!
It went well! They are taking the books at our local store 🥳🥳
Thank you for the support!
So sorry to hear about your accident! I'm just happy that you are OK! I just purchased your book, and I am so looking forward to reading it!
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me 🙏🙏🙏
The platoon i was in back in the early GWAT we never called it bad luck we called it opportunity! LOL It happens to all of us!!
Very stoic of you!! I’m so proud.
Thanks for the encouragement!! 🫶🫶
When Murphy's Law strikes and everything seems to go wrong, remember: you've written and painted a fantastic new book, Travel Write Paint. Sure, flat tires and broken switches and fender benders can be a pain, but don't let those small setbacks drag you down. Grateful you are okay...shaken yes. Things will turn around eventually-maybe not today, but hang in there! Celebrate your accomplishments, like your new book. It’s a big deal! Keep your head up and keep going, folks! 📖🎨💪
So true!! Sometimes I just sit and hold the book to remind myself we actually did that.
Thank you for the reminder, and the kind words of encouragement. I appreciate you 🫶🫶🫶🥰
@@TravelWritePaint and BOOM! REI!
Oh yes, truth, when it rains it pours! Uhgggg. Great job doing what you can yourselves! “Thingy” is definitely a technical term 😉😁. You two rock!!!
You’re the best! 🥰🥰🥰
When it rains it pours! When these things come in batches, I always think of the great Rodney Dangerfield joke: “I tell ya, I knew my morning wasn't going right. When I put on my shirt the button fell off, when I picked up my briefcase, the handle fell off, I tell ya, I was afraid to go to the bathroom.” 😅 Hug it out, laugh it out, lean on one another, and y’all will be just fine. Love your videos!
😂😂 this made me smile so much. Thank you for the encouragement!!
So so true!!
The other day I went to open my van side door. New England winter, it was frozen shut. The handle broke off in my hand. Such is life.
Oh man! That's awful! 😩😩😩
Hang in there you two! Love ya
Love you!!
Sending hugs 🤗. I agree when it rains in pours but dance in the rain. You have a great attitude and at the very least you were not hurt physically. Everything will be okay ❤️. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
Thanks, you’re the best! 🙏🥰 I’m gonna dance!!
Dang! I hope it all works out cuzzo!
🙏🤞 It will all work out!
Keep being awesome!
Thanks, I'm trying! 🫶
Sorry about the van problems. I see some book profits going into repairs. I have an 07 Jeep Wrangler that I keep putting money into. I can't help it, it's my toy. You guys go wit the flow so well. Have a day.
Thank you!! 🙏
Additional comment. Thank God you are all right. The van is banged up and you are upset, but you are ok and that's what matters.
You’re so right!!! Counting my blessing! It could have been so much worse. 🫶🫶🫶
Oh so sorry for your accident. Glad you are not hurt. Breathe…sending hugs! ❤️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 💖
So sorry for your van problems/ accident. Here’s hoping things improve quickly.
Thank you 🙏
Just sending big virtual hugs ❤❤❤
You should offer to do a book signing at an REI for your book. So sorry you are having so many car issues. It can be overwhelming. 🥾
We thought that as well, gonna do one in March!
Thank you for the kind words!!
Oh so sorry about your accident! But oh so happy you were not injured!!!!!!
Did REI take your book? What a freaking cool deal that would be!
I hope you can find the bright side somehow and sit a few in the sunbeams. Life has yings and yangs so you don't get too high on the good sh*t.
Hang in there! ❤
P.S.
Looking forward to my copy of the book arriving in the mail before my knee surgery.
Yes!! They did!
Just one store, but it’s such a huge step!!
We are over here counting our blessings
!!
Thank you for your encouragement! 🫶🫶
Your hair looks super cute though!
Listen to me - it’s okay! You DID get into an accident but sweet lady you are walking and talking. Find the silver lining - it is always there! (Also - don’t hate me! I know I get frustrated too),but my husband always tells me - keep it in perspective! He is right!
Thank you for the kind words - I really appreciate it! 💖 you’re right and the hubs is right!! Appreciate you!!
@ 🤗❤️
Life is like bananas. It comes in bunch’s good and bad
Hahah I’ve never heard that before!! I’m so gonna use this.
Also I love bananas so I’m ok with life giving me bunches 😭😂🫶
Sorry about the van. If you'd like to keep it and fix it back up and if Bobby is handy that way. Ebay is good place to look for parts ,rock auto, and your local salvage yard. Good luck and love you guys.❤
Thanks so much for the advice! We’re going to take a look at all of those resources! 🥰
Okay, the WORLD IS IMPLODING! 😂
lol 😂
I think you are right: time for a new van. Hopefully your insurance will give you some money for the accident. And; that your rates won’t increase because of the mishap. Yup. Life can be messy! At least your run of bad luck is not happening on Trail. Now that would be bad.
Looking forward to receiving the book.
Keep your chins up!
Yes. I think it is time 😭😭 but over here counting my blessings!! Could have been so much worse.
Thank you for the support and kind words. Excited for you to get your book!! 🫶🫶🫶
..... Wow , Long time no see ....... Have a flat tire ........... spare tire flat ,, well of course it is .... Neutral safety switch out of adjustment ... or bad ..
.... OMG ,, So glad you were not hurt ..... Sure hope tomorrow is a better day ....
Right?! It’s just one of those days! 😩😩😩😩
So many good comments so far. What can we do for you?
Keith! I know what you did! Thank you 🫶🫶🫶
I’m so sorry! Ah…😢😢😢😢😢😢
😭😭me too! Thank you 🫶🫶🫶
Aww... dang it. Hope you didn't get hurt. I think your van is trying to tell you something, to let go. How did it go at REI?
I know this isn’t going to make you feel better, but this year was to be my PCT year. I have the exact permit date I wanted, a leave of absence from work arranged, all the gear I needed, and I’ve been conditioning for two years for it. How does my year start? One of my cars caught fire in my garage, burnt both vehicles and my house, and I won’t be back on my feet for a year. The purpose of me posting this is, as crappy as the run you’re on may be (and I would have felt EXACTLY the same as you), regular real people can share experiences that essentially say, “You’ve had a bad week, but at least that’s all it really was”.
How does that even happen!! Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear that!!! That is absolutely heartbreaking, I wish you the best in recovering. It always does good to keep things in perspective.
My heart is with you!!

@ You are so nice - Thank You!!! In colder climates our cars have something called block heaters to keep your coolant and oil warm. On one of our vehicles (quite new with less than 30K miles on it) had a defect and completely lit the car on fire in literally just a few minutes. Hopefully your recent week has gone better than the one in your video. 🙂
Oh man. Sorry for the bad stuff, but happy for the good!
REI recap in the next one?
You bet! I’ll definitely be sharing all about that trip soon! 🏔️
Gee, hope that you are okay. You can sing with Elton John: “I’m still standing!”
True story!! Over here counting my blessings!
I know you are not asking for it, but let us know how we can help. Thinking of you both.
John, you are too kind. Thank you for offering. We know you’re in our corner! 🫶🫶
So sorry for your Both rash of bad luck lately. The Universe is not against you in no way what so ever. The positive side is that no one was hurt and you have each other to lean on. You will figure this out and this will soon be a memory just like all other bad things and good. It sucks. It costs and I’m sure your running through your head “Why didn’t I!” Learn from it. Love you guys so much. ❤️👣👣⛰️🎄⛺️.
Awe!! Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!! You’re so right. It’s just overwhelming at first but we have one another and that means everything’s gonna work out.
🫶🫶🫶 love you back!
@ 🫶🫶both
So sorry this is happening, but yeah, at least you didn't have to pay for a tow on the weekend! BTW, what is that low whine at 3:01, sounds like power steering complaining?
You guys have worked hard on the book and life. It is coming clear to me maybe others that you and birdcall need to hit a trail for a week and disconnect. The smokies and more are just down the road🎉🎉🎉
You’re so right. Sometimes you just need to get away! 🥾🌲
So, did REI decide to market your book?
They said yes!!! 🙌 🥳🥳
T W P…. The rest is just stuff…
Here! Here!!
I hate car problems and hate working on them good luck🫣🤔
The worse!! Thank you 🫶🫶🫶
