    Hello Jimmy and Natalie. It was awesome to meet the both of you at Walmart. The both of you totally made my day. I was just enjoying my lunch break and you both walked by. Thanks for taking a picture with me. Like I said if you're ever through my area again stop in for an oil change or tires. I really wanted to see pancake but I didn't want to intrude. Both of you travel safe.

    • @JimmyandNatalie

    That silky soft face on the Alpaca boy, so adorable! There used to be an alpaca farm a 2 minute drive from my house, they also sold alpaca wool, and you could go on a guided walk with them in the fields. Sadly, I only admired them from a short distance, and now the couple running the farm, have sold the farm and left.

    Fun video as usual. When I was running my solar wiring through the RV wall an electrician friend told me to loop the wires lower than the entry point so that when water runs along the wire it will drip off at the lowest point instead of following the wire into the wall. Looks like you could easily route the Starlink cable under the marker light so it has a point lower than the entry into the plastic/van.

    I LOVE alpacas! Especially the sound they make. So cute. Ok Natalie, did you know that alpaca fiber is 10x warmer than wool? Also, if you guys knew how much work goes into that one pair of socks (shearing the alpaca, skirting the fleece, washing the fiber, combing it to make roving that will be spun into yarn and then knit into socks, etc.) you would understand why they cost $25. Just buying a skein of alpaca yarn can be close to that price, so getting already made socks is a deal! You can’t compare those socks 🧦 to a pair you would get at say…Walmart. 😊

    @TheCoozey Рік тому +3

    It’s great to see you join the Starlink revolution. We had ours mounted like that for a while until we flat mounted it. How are you dealing with the cable end when the dish isn’t on the roof?
    Keep making those videos. We really enjoy them.

    Yes, Starlink is expensive....but I'm glad you got it! No more "rushing to a free wi-fi" place or hoping you can upload on your cellular plan, etc. Now, it's just get clear line of sight, which you'll do anyways for solar and you're good! So cool that Jimmy's parents are doing the RV life as well! Not sure I'd do a Class A...probably go with a Class C. The smaller Sprinter/ProMaster vans, I don't think I could get used to that amount of space. Been thinking of taking a year after I retire in 10 years....to just drive the US and Canada. I suspect Starlink will be a part of my budget. hehe. I'll probably rent a Class C for a week or two before retiring to "take test trips" with and see how I like it. I've already driven most of the US and some of Canada as it is.
    Enjoy the time off! Have some awesome holidays and we'll catch you in January!!

    Hello @JimmyandNatalie, the authenticity the two of you are naturally able to convey across a pixelated screen entangles my mind. This leaves me with an abundance of WONDER. How is it possible that your digitized entertainment creates a feeling inside me like you are sitting in the same room as me telling me your story, while I'm watching you on the screen at the same time? I'm not sure what this means or if it is something that needs to be explained but I do know that the two of you have a special message that I have yet to find duplicated. FYI - I would love for me and my loving wife to meet up with you both and hang out sometime.

    Some tips for Starlink....
    1) You should have purchased the hardware in Canada - you can get refurbished hardware for 260ish CAD.
    2) Don't keep the router in your van - unless you want to fry your brains. IT'S POWERFUL. We keep our router in a plastic box outside - even in freezing weather... its fairly weatherproof. Keep it in the shade if its sunny.
    3) Don't back-up into the dish. We backed-uped onto the dish base and broke our motor. Thankfully Starlink is sending us another refurb dish and credited us 1 month free.
    Enjoy Starlink - its a GAMECHANGER!

    I have Surfshark. I’m not a nomad. At home I have to pause it to get weather and often to run UA-cam.
    I don’t location shift and don’t have Netflix to spoof either.
    As they say, your results may vary.
    The alpaca farm sounds fun. Some of my favorite socks are made from that wool.
