welcome everyone to vlogmas in July that's right a video every day for 31 days presented by Nomad
internet as a Christmas fanatic this is a great way for me to be cheerful and thankful all month
long Opie you better be a good boy this July Santa Paws is watching Tara no more sneaking into catnip
sack Santa Paws will bring you coal thanks for joining me this month guys and have a jolly
old month of July well good afternoon everyone yep vlogmas in July continues a beautiful sunny
day here in Olympia Washington a rare Sunny not raining day for Lake fair this is the uh annual
Carnival here uh here in downtown Olympia hanging out with my buddy Andrew we're going
to check out get some bites to eat maybe find some games to play yeah thanks for joining guys
foreign
of course I'm very familiar with this traveling Carnival Funtastic as you guys remember I worked
with them I traveled with fantastic for a while so uh what it's like to tear tear down and set
up all these rides and gear a lot of work to put this together I got a basketball hoop game over
there a whack-a-mole again I got a Skee-Ball over there like skee ball and a ring toss here look at
that rocking guitar you guys see the YouTube video where this similar ride was rocking back
and forth one time it's really scary yeah well all right and then all the foods lots of good smelling
stuff to pick something here not a whole lot of places to sit and eat so I'm gonna sit here look
at those ridiculous curly fries guys ridiculous yeah okay every day is a cheat day at the fair
and got a strawberry uh lemonade
it's good stuff so Olympia has always been kind of a weird city
um but here at Lake fair you will not find a trash can of any kind anywhere at Lake Fair
their dumpster is chained up and all the normal trash cans are all flipped over
there is no trash facilities anywhere it's really strange I guess it's supposed to be a pack it
in pack it out type of Fair carnival way to go Washington well I'm gonna do ring toss thank you
I got the Hoops here oh that's funny I'm gonna skip the Hoops gotta do some Skee-Ball right
wow wow both sides here we go in the middle
look well I definitely suck at carnival games I'm a big
suckered me right in they made me use the last tickets on a ride yeah they got the
scooter here which is actually just bumper cars in there so uh Andrew and I are gonna
go do that they got the stage over there also they'll be doing some concerts later I guess
huh yeah it'll be fun I won't be able to film any of this but we'll do some bashing
foreign
oh they got a little band up there playing actually that's cool and they got a bunch of
craft tents and stuff cool stuff oh look everybody I found some Mickey stub oh or Mickey Mouse
okay oh there you go I guess they're still looking for some temporary work very fun
fantastic if you're uh local they're doing like a like a hiring thing type thing so Andrew might
go talk to him I gotta get back to the kitties the RV is still in Aberdeen so but we're gonna
go stop by a friend's house Over Here Andrew wants to look at his fuel filter issue so
do one one more stop so I'm more than two-thirds done with vlogmas in July well my version of it I
realized that vlogmas in December actually only runs for 25 days and then you stop on Christmas
day but I'm doing something a little different every single day so 31 days of vlogmas in July
for me uh it's been uh quite an experience here um but don't worry um if you like the way my channel
was before all this we're going right back to normal on August 1st back to my normal stuff
this is just you get to go with me everywhere I go every day no matter what I do and uh you kind
of get to see what it's really like for digital Nomad like myself uh who has certain things that
may not be as exciting as other things you know but um as I look at some of the analytics this
was something that I was definitely going to pay a lot of attention to is to see how my channel did
and how these daily videos were perceived to my viewers and appreciate it and um the numbers just
keep going down guys it's bad uh so far this same period of time like like about 20 days of videos
a video every day I have less total views than I would have uh last month when I did
a video every three days less actual views so many many of my subscribers are skipping my
daily videos so this is not good like in my audience retention's gone down
hilarious guys I will never do this again
uh my subscriber growth has also gone down it's crazy this has not been good for me or my channel
for for anybody um it would mean a lot to me if you skipped some of the good videos like the stuff
before the bad stuff happened at wainucci go back and check out some of my videos that are a little
more interesting um if you skipped them it would help me out a lot and it would keep my numbers
in a more normal Pace than what they are right now because I'm really worried if it doesn't improve I
may actually quit on the 25th of July I might but either way it's really fun sharing my experiences
with you all day to day um I got a picture I want to show a picture uh Black Betty is rolling on
East and uh hopefully I'll be getting a picture a day finding out where the progress is uh for
my own safety reasons I'm not going to be talking about the exact route or the company or anything
like that because you would be surprised what some crazy people will do out there I I'm but I will
let you know obviously when Black Betty is safely back behind my shop I gotta have Sean or TJ or
somebody there meet with the keys and unlock the alarm systems and everything so the roll up can go
up Black Betty can just scoot right into the shop that is the plan in the meantime um I'm gonna grab
a bite to eat here real quick and then I gotta go hook up the car to the RV we're gonna be leaving
Grays Harbor County for a little bit and saying goodbye to the
to the to the grayness although it's sunny right now you always leave when it gets nice Eric
I've done my time in this state guys holy cow I have done my time I deserve some sunshine but
yeah first one of my favorite places to eat I got a Happy Teriyaki number 15 here in Aberdeen
look at this you guys they seriously have the best chicken teriyaki on the planet oh my
gosh you really gotta keep your floors clean here because nomadic fanatic throws a lot on the ground
good stuff um
that's good I'm getting better at this yep
wow yeah
I love this Blue Ox system because you don't have to get it exact you don't have to have two people
you just got to get within I think 12 inches of wiggle room there and then you're good now I only
clicked one of these out when I reversed it but as soon as I go tonight I'm going to be able to
click the other one out I'm gonna watch it on the camera too but yeah other than that we're
gonna call it good because I've got an appointment tomorrow morning you have to find out in your next
video but let's get to our resting place at least for this evening Tara Berry you about ready to go
packing everything up Opie double dopely oh is there a dog out there yeah yeah there's a dog
also uh one thing I think I forgot to mention is that uh before I dropped off
Black Betty in the trailer I grabbed the Craftsman inverter generator there in gas
um I'm not dead set on keeping it there but it works just fine this leg will pop up when
I need it which is not going to be that often but say I'm gonna be doing some boondocking in
warm places or if I'm in the shade somewhere and I and I need some power it's going to be
something long term I'll use this it sips gas and it's super quiet I think it's always good
to have a backup generator because you know relying on that Onan four thousand
all right we're out of here Tara Hopi we're gone all right man wow my spot here on the uh sat Saab
river is open and I mean they widened this lot quite a bit and added some new rock since the
last few years that I've been here they still got a little bolt toilet over there on the hill
and uh you gotta have a discover pass to stay here go check out the river I can tell you already uh
the satsop river is very high I've been out here in this area with my RC truck
we found that little grave site cross out in the it's underneath water right now
yeah there's a lot of water running and uh glorious shot of the Twin Bridges there
with Highway 12 or is that Highway eight above I can't remember it's all the same wow it's pretty
though but you got that Highway noise all night we're you know we're only 100 yards away from
the highway it is what it is you put the earplugs in here you you do so guys I'm gonna go ahead and
uh close this one out here and then uh tomorrow morning I'll start I'll start the video right
where we left off gotta make one stop I got some some projects going on with Frida for tomorrow's
video so thanks for joining me guys Opie and Tara and I will see you in the morning again
thank you
