good morning everybody it's a good feeling heading north again
it's been a while it's been a nice little break I am filming on my Canon
and 50 again because I do believe by the end of the day I'm gonna have some new
equipment in my hand to be able to edit video so today's gonna be a good day no
matter where we had I'm currently on a dirt road here
you guys actually remember back in the day railroad tracks is where they they
put everything next to because the railroads is what brought everything in
and just outside of Livingston Texas Here I am at a little meet little
historical stop here that is still standing so what we got right here is
Thomas mercantile a very very small town grocery store it does look like they are
closed I don't know what their hours are or if they open any more but it is just
a little country store the locals would come in but be cool and interesting part
of this is is any time customers were in the store in past years if you heard the
rumbling from the railroad tracks over here customers shoppers would dash
outside and they would run out here to the tracks and they would try to get the
engineer to toot his conductor horn twice if he does if you get twice every
customer in the store at that time gets 20% off their purchase here at the
mercantile I know about you but that's pretty quirky but like I said it doesn't
like this country stores been open for a while trains don't really bother me they
never have trucks idling and and air brakes readjusting and stuff like that
that bothers me but but trains now I like trains I grew up around trains who
you mowing at are you are you the country store cat
yeah are you friendly you look very fluffy Tim's a good boy it was a good
boy a country store kitty yeah buddy no you can't come with I
already talked to Jax he doesn't like cats I know I'm sorry if you were a dog
he might go for it but no he's he's not a cat person I am no there's there's no
room you can't stow away dude no we're not
doing all those crazy things you'd be good it was one cat that I paid Jax just
one cat I didn't even bring him with me cuz my hands smell funny here we go guys
we're back on the road we're heading north towards Dallas but don't worry I
got lots of stops to make what are you doing on the dash still I've never seen
him ride up here on the dash at freeway speeds okay that's cool he's not in my
way he's lower than the steering wheel and the dash and everything but I can
still see him down there with his butt up against the windshield you're a putz
you're a putz with a bus and now you're done okay so we're heading to Dallas
come along with me guys we're gonna have a fun day today I'm in Huntsville Texas
is quirky and full of larger-than-life stuff now and you're gonna live in a
house do I live in a normal house if you don't have to you guys see this because
wouldn't you rather live in a boot it's an actual house y'all somebody
lives in there in that window and next door their garage is a cowboy hat oh my
gosh yeah this homeowner is doing it right I love it I'd love to see the
inside of that boot house darn it is a private residence though man
Texas is quirky holy cow it is windy out here you know change of plans
it's 2:15 and I still haven't gotten confirmation than my MacBooks ready to
pick up at the Apple store in Dallas so I'm in no rush to head up there because
there's nowhere to park up there it looks like I'm gonna be stalled an extra
day so I'm still gonna shoot this video out to you when I get the MacBook and
edit it and pop it out I'm just gonna split it up into two videos but I'm
gonna overnight park here at the Walmart of Huntsville Texas that's the plan and
we're gonna freeze tonight 31 degrees is the low tonight and up north in Dallas
Fort Worth they broke a record yesterday the how do you put it 44 degrees was the
high in the daytime and that was the lowest high temperature in 33 years so
it's cold in Texas it's supposed to be like 74 degrees and instead 40s needless
to say we'll be will be turning on that heater today yeah man Jax we're gonna
park here stay here for the night kay and get that heater going and keep mr.
kitty kitty warm you still mad at me I didn't take that other kitty I wouldn't
get him do that to you let's see what we got we got apples and Bud Light put it
in my murse yeah I just closed the curtains up there and who knew were at
Walmart it could be in a beautiful gorgeous
campground with a view too bad about the Astros though
they've what a terrible game 7 for Houston that was embarrassing man huh oh
I got a few new candles I don't know why I just really love bath and bodywork
candles they're the best ones but Paris cafe was a good one this one is like you
walk into a coffee shop and there's a leak of stairs in the Chocolate Factory
leaking down into the coffee shop that's what this smells like
yeah and some friends of mine from Lola Palooza the Nortons and I get that right
guys they they left me something outside my door some Shiner Bock from Texas beer
and blueberry maple pancake candle and this is actually my all-time new
favorite even better than campfire doughnut when this burns inside the RV
ermahgerd haven't decided if I'm going to do custom plates on the RV and and
the motorcycle yet but some have asked me what I'd done with some of my older
plates they're right here so when I enter the RV I just screwed them right
into this little dresser cabinet that I have my youtube from South Dakota and my
original nomadic from Washington State neither of these are available with
personalized plates in Texas but there are some other ones available the
problem is that if you order them through Texas it's a little different
they don't mail them to you they mail them to the tax office in four weeks not
your address so you physically have to be there in Polk County when you get the
email to pick them up in person at the office and then they transfer them over
you have to you have to give them your other Texas plates to get the custom
ones so it's no secret that I'll be coming back down to Texas the very
beginning of the next year after Christmas so maybe I'll come up with
something then we'll get that figured out for 2020 yeah all right getting
ready for dinner here checks is such a clown though this is really usually my
seat my preferred side but when I get up to go to the bathroom or get a drink or
work on something he moves to the warmer seat where my butt was just at
so I said here half-hour later I get up from this chair he moves over to the
hurt seat we play musical chairs all night he's such a GU you goof man he's
like man I'm the kitty cat and you wouldn't want me and came in and I've
been slaving away at dinner for the last few hours minutes okay actually it's one
of those cafes steamers I really like these things they're easy in the
microwave they do take up a lot of space in the in the freezer but I just get a
couple of them what's that green stuff it's a green stuff that's not like me
I'll just work around it the first time for everything I'm gonna
eat a green on camera y'all ready for this
now you know it's possible no you wouldn't like it Jax and Jackson are
gonna watch some Longmire here we're just starting season 3 oh yeah
oh yeah man you got the itchy twitches okay don't even look over here you
wouldn't like it I really love traveling I love seeing new spots boondocking and
yes you can see I'm okay with parking lot boondocking it doesn't affect me at
all it really doesn't because I could be
anywhere else and I've got this place so comfortable here tomaters ready for
Christmas season and sorcerer Mickey Mouse and and Merlin over there and on
the big 55 inch TV yeah I got fireplace going this is a free app on the lg tv
just have a fireplace going in here non-stop that's awesome with the sound
to working with my blueberry maple pancake candle here and the the heater
is on although there's not much evidence you can see a little bit of red down
here oh yeah puts off a lot of heat so it's pretty comfortable then Jack's you
need a blanket no it's warm enough all right buddy
y'all take care Jack's and I will see you in a couple days I guess
