who says you can't eat good in an RV I
didn't say healthy I said good there's a
difference
so I'm just cooking off all the bacon at
once so they only gotta clean it up once
and then I'll microwave the next few
days from the fridge the rest over bacon
and getting ready to do my scrambled
eggs - that's right
eggs and bacon grease can't go wrong I
mean I guess you could I'm not going I
don't know that it can be done any
better than this for breakfast
well I guess I could get some cheese and
ketchup for the eggs and milk to drink
huh got you guys when I get done here
let's see yes we get ready to start the
day before we forget don't forget
there's still time to order your Isle of
hookups RB hookups t-shirt merchandise
available exclusively here on the
nomadic fanatic channel there is a
bonfire link in the video description of
this video for a limited time get your
merchandise and help support the channel
and thank you so much guys while it was
raining last night I actually did some
projects I expressed to you guys that I
was having an outlet problem
well I solved that problem so you may
find this interesting but as I talked
about this outlet stopped working and
the outlet over by the microwave stopped
working that is a GFCI outlet so this
circuit had stopped working also the
outlet that controls the fridge behind
there when I'm plugged into power or on
the generator very very strange but I
decided to start with this one and I'm
glad I did although it was not actually
the problem but this is the outlet that
came from the factory you can see it is
not a GFCI outlet and the way the wires
go in they just push them in I don't
know if you can see the metal spikes in
there but they just push the white and
the black and the ground in there until
the metal spikes hit it and yeah I know
it's dirty I don't know what all this
stuff is in there but I thought that was
gonna be the problem I installed a new
outlet here did some research to find
out that not every outlet has to be a
GFCI on that circuit technically just
one and the rest are all the same thing
any moisture anything happens here the
GFCI outlet will click and and turn it
off like I said that wasn't the problem
but I did replace the old GFCI I have no
idea why it failed
all the wires were okay there was no
problems but I replaced it with the same
exact one in there and now we are
working again I already tested the
fridge with the generator running
so those three outlets on the small
appliance breaker are all working again
strange but okay
now I can't really argue with that and
yeah I'm back here at Rheneas spot
plugged into power today one last day
and one last night in the area and then
we're making some changes speaking of
changes I'm a pretty big one to share
with you
you might remember maybe three and a
half years ago when I was going through
Utah I was having some problems with my
splint service on my phone and I
basically said no matter what I'm going
to the best you can get at the time
Verizon was the best device I think they
still are the best for coverage but I
went with Verizon and I signed up for a
one-year with a renewal well and I loved
Verizon by the way it was great for a
traveler I still think it's the best for
a traveler but when the one year had
expired and it was time to renew they
jacked it up from like I think I was
paying eighty nine dollars plus taxes to
a hundred and twenty nine dollars plus
taxes for an unlimited iPhone with
limited hotspot capabilities at the time
I said nope
we'll just I'll go ahead and stop here
after my one-year and we'll switch to
AT&T and so like I said for the last
about three years now maybe two and a
half years I have been solely an AT&T
customer both my unlimited hotspot
device and my iPhones have all been AT&T
I guess just Nevada here and here in
Maine came to a startling realization
that AT&T just does not work they just
don't put towers and no matter what kind
of booster you have you're not getting a
B here we'll just magically produce an
AT&T Tower where they didn't build one
okay it amplifies it if it's there and
too far away but like Route one there
was just nothing anywhere up north
there's nothing only here in the
Portland you know general greater area
is there AT&T service so I went into
Verizon and I said I
I have it I miss it I gotta have it back
now I had three iPhones unlocked iPhones
on the AT&T network three of them that
all work none of them were eligible to
switch over to bring in to port into the
Verizon network and I thought that was
really weird like they even told me yeah
these are unlocked phones but just not
compatible with Verizon even if we put a
new SIM card in and everything so but
but I was desperate
and I'm just like okay fine fine give me
your cheapest iPhone that I can possibly
high right now just to get by and that
happened to be the iPhone se they're
really blocky looking it's tiny it's
smaller
I will upgrade later to something better
more more newer but this is gonna get me
by got a new case with a little magnetic
thing so I can put it up here and
navigate also it'll be great because
this plan comes with unlimited hotspot
through Verizon so if I don't have any
AT&T service on my hotspot I can turn on
my iPhone and then upload it's gonna
take a little longer probably not very
fast but I will have another source of
Internet on the road to different
carriers two of the best as far as what
most people consider the top two or AT&T
and Verizon so it was just time to make
that change and now speaking of change I
don't actually know if we're saying
goodbye to Maine yet I know we're saying
goodbye to this area of Maine and we
won't be back this year just letting you
know
so we'll see real quick before we move
on almost forgot I promised my friend
Monique that I would share her two pet
resources for those people that might be
interested losing a pet can be really
stressful and really scary and sad the
first one is a website helping lost pets
calm is an international one where its
database for missing lost stolen all
sorts of pets I'll put the link in the
video description below if you guys want
to check that one out and the second one
is more of a preventative one here in
the New England area which is k9
tracking lost pet tracking dogs calm so
you essentially put your pet
sent on here and I already have one this
is an extra one but I have Jax's sent on
one of these gauze pads in a bag in case
Jack's ever goes missing in the area
there are canine tracking pets that that
can help find your pet so again I'll put
that link in the video description below
Thank You Monique for the information
and also my buddy Wayne our bee prepper
Wayne actually has an exclusive video
over on his channel right now that you
might want to go check out if you watch
me Wayne's a good friend of mine he's a
great mechanic down in Florida and he's
been trying to reach the 10,000 mark on
YouTube for quite a while now so if you
guys want to pop up over on to his
channel there will be a link somewhere
up here or at the end of my video I will
put another link to that video it's a
little interview video he put together
one we did virtually so you might be
able to learn some stuff about me you
didn't know from his interview so
definitely check that out if you don't
mind giving him a thumbs up subscribe
see some of the stuff he does working on
our bees and helping the RV community
out there I do have to say I absolutely
love the weather here in Maine in the
summertime and this summer has been a
huge milestone for me with help from
people like Renee and Monique giving me
a little home base centralized spot here
to regroup and plug in a few times in
charge and giving me tips and stuff but
as I pointed out this is the very first
summer in 37 years that I have spent
away from home the Northwest Washington
State the very first summer that I've
spent completely away sometimes I've
started a couple weeks in the summer and
then gone or come back at the tail end
to summer or something but nope after
Lincoln Highway we remained Jackson I
remained out here on the East Coast the
entire summer and had it not been for
meeting really good friends and and just
the the friendliness of Mainers out here
maniacs
I don't think it would have worked and I
don't think I would have had such a
great time also with with the brake work
that Greeley is getting done
having this spot just everything just
worked out so great in Maine and that I
didn't expect that to happen so much but
I've been charging batteries and bulk
stuff while I'm plugged in just to kind
of get caught up you know because
tomorrow morning I like I said I am
leaving the area I'm gonna do a little
bit more prep work
I got another package of chicken breasts
so I'm gonna cook those up in the oven
and cook up some mashed potatoes and
rice and do some portion control food
stuff stored in the fridge before I
leave and then from here you know don't
worry guys I'm still gonna hang around I
know some of the tribe members from the
northwest are heading this way so see
what happens go cook some chicken up so
this is the way I prepare my chicken i
preheat the oven to 400 here and I'm
getting ready to season them but I just
put the foil around the pan and bacon
this way because it's easier cleanup I
can just take this out the end throw in
the garbage and yeah it's a much smaller
pan that's because I have a much smaller
oven here guys this is not a standard
household oven and at an RV so I can't
have a bigger pan than this and cook
more at a time it just doesn't come out
even if you try to put them on layers
inside these propane oven so do one
batch and then I will do the rest of the
chicken and then I don't have to cook in
the oven any chicken for about another
week for these meals so i season them
with a little bit of salt and I like the
roasted garlic and herb chicken
seasoning here from Weber
yeah then I'll bake this at 400 degrees
for about 20-25 minutes and just check
with my temperature gauge make sure we
get those up to a 165 degrees at least
and then we'll start with the second
batch all right so the chickens done I'm
going to pull this out and get the next
batch ready to go and while I do that I
am going to start cooking up rice and
mashed potatoes
it does get warm when you're cooking
with the oven and the stove in an RV so
I got the AC on now next generation
start before easy slightly healthy meals
the rice is probably better than the
mashed potatoes but you know I switched
up when the bottles of Gatorade went
with the powder that makes six gallons
of the blue Gatorade
and so now I'm putting those in half of
my water containers in the fridge
instead no just more tastier than just
plain water and it's not so doesn't
doesn't have as much sugar in it that's
it though guys next video will be
something very very different as we
continue to enjoy New England area here
so thanks for sticking around goodbye
Maine well not quite the state of Maine
but you know what I mean
