do you like that sunshine the sunshine is nice and Florida huh
we had to put up with some rainy days actually it rained it poured we broke
some records here on the cool side for rain I think 2.3 inches in 24 hours as a
record so just remember it does rain in Florida I'm gonna take the bike out and
okay take the bike out go explore Fort Myers a little bit today I don't want to
spend the whole time out but I am here to resort so I can plug into air
conditioning for Jack Smith's Maximus here and yeah let's go play
yeah I love the motorcycle parking here right next to the beach or Myers Beach
that's pretty awesome all right so bear with me I am vlogging
with my 100% manual lens today so got to make sure I'm in focus and then I got
all my my lights set and everything but here we are at Fort Myers Beach on a
Tuesday afternoon it's glorious I wore the jacket because I just don't trust
the cities and I fall off the bike I'd rather had a little bit of protection
but yeah a little extra work to make sure we're always in focus here
finally the gulfside alright I love these little beach resort towns along
the coast Florida California Texas that don't matter it really makes me smile
and I love to explore I got nothing to do today just going around looking at
this little beach town of Fort Myers Fort Myers Beach well let's go look
little tiki bars all over the place with mr. Tiki guy drinking some rum something
how can you not like that though oh yeah is that Yucatan okay awesome
I love the bamboo side there and look at all the outboard motors here at
shipwreck wholesale that's awesome so I'm gonna be riding the bike and doing
walking today doing both got to stop in the post office and mail out a bunch of
sticker orders thanks guys this really helps it's fun for me to fill these out
it's great way to support the channel thank you if you've already ordered
stickers if you're still looking for two of my color nomadic phonetic stickers
mailed internationally for six dollars two of them there's a link in the video
description below thanks guys okay it's a weird area we all live in a
big pyramid these are like apartment condos in the shape of a pyramid and hey
where's all my Beethoven peeps you know it's Beethoven I don't know
this area might be privately owned or something I'm not sure it has a gated
fence but the gates open so I just thought I'd come in and look okay so
here we are at the Florida South State College campus or something like that
and in the water are these little stalagmites or stalactites I forgot
which one it is but they're awesome that water is really clear for a pond you
know how many students just walk past this Beauty just zoned into work don't
even don't even stop to look it's pretty check it out here on campus they have a
Thomas Edison statue here don't know if you can hear my voice it's been
corded and rebroadcast out for some effect and in his hand up here is a
steel ball that you can move around and rotate but it won't come out interesting
right and it represents Edison's willingness to examine a problem from
all sides okay makes sense good day sir thank you for
inventing helping with electricity and light bulbs and everything else I am
getting hungry which means I'd be looking for some authentic Fort Myers
food whatever that means here we have a Fort Myers authentic burger
and these fries were hatched right here in Fort Myers - man I'm really stuck I
hope I'm in focus I turned on focus peaking for this manual lens and I'm
just kind of gauging the light I mean I could really mess it up but anyway I
don't know if this works I really like this lens it's compact gives good
blurred background stuff but alright and keep exploring now it's kind of an
ongoing joke that Florida doesn't really like my RVs when I come to Florida I
always have bad luck mechanically but we always get through it
luckily here in Fort Myers they do have a nice buddah for us to rub some belly
and get some good luck and you know me and Yoda and Falkor could definitely use
all the luck we can get in Florida so thank you yeah this place know RVs or
trailers this is a popular spot that I was told to come to but $25 to get in to
a museum I don't know might just be too nice a day to be indoors standing next
to all these banyan trees and once again Thomas Edison so hold that thought no
grab my phone hey Siri Fort Myers connection to Thomas Edison okay I found
this on the web for Fort Myers connection to Thomas Edison take a look
I will he's basically from Fort Myers okay I guess that kind of makes sense
anybody ever been to the museum here for 25 bucks I'm gonna skip it and stay
outdoors plus I'm away from Jack so I kind of don't like that part might be
kind of cool though but can I at least point out I'd never been in Fort Myers
before either so some people have said that Eric you go through Florida every
year yeah but can you at least give me some credit
I'm not going to all of the same places Key West I really wanted to go to again
with Angela obviously I know I've never been in Fort Myers either and going up
this coast I've never spent any time in Tampa I broke down in Clearwater so
we'll stay out of there I can't say enough about the honda grom it has
really changed my happiness on the road it's
really pleasant to have oh well hold the phone now you thought dinosaurs were
extinct and all skeletal remains are completely destroyed
no Fort Myers I present to you pipe asaurus in pretty darn good condition
actually smiling - looking good there buddy like you got a full stomach there
- uh-huh somehow I'm not surprised that Fort
Myers does have some quirky left in it I've heard stories and they're all
mostly true man you know what sounds good right about now ice cream I feel
bad because the Midwest and most of the country is under deep freeze like News's
talking historic freezing I'm sweating like a dog ready for ice cream sorry
guys I wish you were here I do I wish we could all come to Florida but go get
something something yummy like this one's already melting all over me
chocolate on a sugar cone dipped in chocolate oh man
people are staring alright um Fort Myers was nice I think I
definitely want to hop in the pool back at my resort back there so I head back
there and we'll check in on Jackson and always makes me smile getting gas for
the Garonne because the RV that gets seven miles per gallon versus the Grom
that gets about a hundred and ten miles per gallon so I just fill it up a
supreme every time and always makes me smile it's like 2 or 3 bucks and enter
my pin 1 2 3 4
oh yeah I think it's like a 1.2 gallon tank in there so I got to fill up every
110 miles anyway okay I made it back safely and you know
this resort is nothing to write home about it is an encore resort through my
Thousand Trails package there but I mean we're really packed in here and
yesterday about four o'clock they just turned the water off for no reason
without any warning phone call NOC note anything and we didn't get water
restored here at the park until this morning when I woke up it was turned
back on so usually they let everybody know I think it's actually a law you
have to let residents know when you're gonna turn the water off
that's pretty strange I had water in my holding tank I think most people
probably should be able to just flip on their their pump but strange all five of
us have to share the water over there so that's my big long 50 foot hose getting
a good workout here but yeah I also back up and let everybody know
you know what I did the sewer hose thing in here those tabs that I cut off those
are important because that's what secures it from slipping on and off I
feel bad because I said that I hope nobody else cut those tabs off and has
done that for the same project don't do that those tabs are kind of essential
for for the Rhino sewer hose anyway looking forward to leaving the resort
idea for a week and do some boondocking up the coast here
they had a shuffleboard tournament this morning here at the resort I've never
gotten into shuffleboard I don't know how to play I don't really want to learn
how to play but that's one thing all these Florida resorts have in common
shuffleboard and putt-putt golf and stuff like that
oh and how's this lens working out guys it has no image stabilization optically
I'm just using some in-body stabilization but how does it look
compared to some of the other lenses I've used with my candidate let me know
in the comments all of the the roads here really really narrow it's almost
scary driving an RV down here because the most of the cars are parked so close
to the road let's go check out this laundry room
most people were telling me that I should have saved that matte gray card
because all I got to do is buy one for five dollars and then I could use them
another parks that has not been the case the last five resorts have all had their
own types of machines go look here and sure enough this is a brand new pay flex
card to buy so that's now six resorts in a row all a different system none of
those cards are compatible and just a $5 card you have to buy and it cost two
cents to make and they get to load the card so they do have a nice pool here at
the resort that's open year-round I'm going to spend the last little bit of
sunshine this afternoon inside the pool to kind of cool down a little bit I'll
get back to you guys when I get back to the RV
okay so I had a chance to edit a few of the video clips I am sorry it is really
jerky really shaky this lens kind of sucks right now
I am actually using my crane to stabilizer again this heavy contraption
that's just kind of ridiculous but it does allow me to get some buttery smooth
shots out there so maybe I'll have to have to go back to this if I really
really like the video quality of this lens and the hem 50 anyway hi alright
guys have a good night like I said Jax and I are gonna do some
boondocking as we go up north and we're gonna see Angela again here soon things
are changing soon but until then boondocking
yes okay have a good night Jax and I'll see you in about three days
you
