- Now we can spin.
- [Stacy] As you can see,
Phil is quite excited about laundry today.
And that's because we've been boondocking for 11 days
and we have enough water left over
to do a load of laundry.
- Boom. That's how you manage your water, while
you're boondocking to have enough.
So we had, I don't know how much this is,
but I went outside and looked in the tank
and I can see it.
We had about that much water across the bottom.
And we had one tick on our display
showing us that we had water left.
So we were like, I was like,
nah, I don't want to try it.
Stacy was like, let's try it.
- We have one tick. One tick is the most amount of water.
We, as you go up,
it's less and less with tick two and tick three.
So I knew if we have one tick, we could do it.
- I didn't want to do it because
if we weren't paying attention, we ran out of water.
Our water pump would burn up possibly.
So I don't, that'll kill us if we're boondocking.
So we're, we're on the spin cycle now. So we're safe.
- Yeah.
So it is chore day, as you can see in the Farley household.
And normally we don't show you,
you know, all of our, our chore stuff.
Cause we think it's pretty boring.
But we get asked about this stuff all the time.
We finished the first load of laundry
so we're checking the water level to see where it's at.
Just to see if we can push our luck with load number two.
- Now we got half of what we had before.
- Do we push our luck or we just wait till Wednesday?
- Wait till Wednesday.
- I think I would push our luck if it wasn't for,
I was more worried about the gray at this point
because when our gray tank, when it hits the third tick,
it's on two now, when it hits three it's full,
you don't want to put too much more in it after that.
So I don't know when we're going to hit the third tick.
So I guess one load is all we're doing today.
And yes, if you're wondering the generator is going,
we can't run our washer and dryer
on the Battle Born batteries.
Yeah. It's not going through the inverters.
We're almost ready to hit the road,
but we have to take down the antenna,
which is an extra pole that we use to get better service.
And Phil will show you that later,
but for now, we got to take it down.
All right, the cable's unhooked from our wifi.
Now I need to pull the slide in a little bit so we can,
Phil can pull the cord out.
It is in, and now the whole slide is in. So that's done.
- We're going to go put this on the bed.
Cause we're going to put it right back out in an hour.
- We're all closed up, we're almost ready to roll.
And you hear that noise?
You should be hearing two noises.
One is the generator, we have that going.
We decided what the heck, let's just leave it on
and we turned on the air.
It was a whole two miles down to the water fill.
So Phil is pulling everything out
so we can fill us up with water.
And hopefully, this will last us another
11-ish days or however long.
I don't even know how long we're going to be here,
to be honest, because it's all about the Jeep
and when they can get the parts in for the Jeep.
So for those of you wondering how we hook up everything,
because we got that question a while back ago.
Phil just put the dirt guard and
the clear 2O inline filter, directly onto the spigot.
You can see he is hooking up the,
the water softener and that is hooked up directly to
the intake, into our tank.
And now he's hooking the two together.
- So I'm going to switch it to tank fill,
so this water goes straight into the tank.
- And I'm moving cause last time this water went everywhere.
Just as I suspected.
So now we just wait till it's all full
and then we head to our next location,
which will be the famous mobile gas station
that's supposed to have.
Well, we might know for sure
it has some of the most delicious food ever.
It's kind of weird in a gas station, but man,
it is not typical gas station food.
- Confirmed, the best burgers around.
- Just paid for us to use the dump. It's $10 here to dump.
Phil is over there getting all set up
so we can finish this evolution and get back to our spot.
- There's nothing sexy about being at the dump station.
- No, but it is always a topic of conversation.
- It is.
- [Stacy] All good?
- Yeah. My hands are slippery.
- [Stacy] So this didn't take nearly as long.
It looks like I paid at 12:24. What time is it now?
- [Phil] 12:40
- [Stacy] Yeah. So, and we're all done
and we're going back to the campground now.
So excited. Oh my gosh. It's finally here.
- [Phil] Sweet.
- Oh, are you ready?
- [Phil] I'm ready. Hit me.
- Wooo. What do you think?
- [Phil] That is nice.
- Oh my gosh. You ready to try it on?
- [Phil] Yup.
Wow. I love it. I love the color, the design.
It turned out great.
- Oh my gosh. I love this new design
and there are a whole bunch of different colors
and different shirts to choose from this time.
I'm super excited.
These t-shirts are going to go on sale starting
on November 13th for two weeks
and it is just in time for Christmas.
So you will be able to receive these shirts
and give them away as gifts.
- And like our other shirt campaigns,
a dollar from every shirt goes to Homes For Our Troops.
- Welcome to the not so glamorous side, of full-time RVing.
- Yeah. We've been boondocking for 20 days
and although we were able to do one load of laundry
at day 11 or 12, because we conserved water that well,
we got big stuff, we got sheets and towels so,
we're going to do it in a one-stop-shop.
- Yeah, we are going into town.
And when I say into town, it's like 35 minutes away.
So it's not a quick trip.
We're going to do laundry
and Phil's gonna cut that long hair of his.
- Yeah. I'm way past due.
- For Phil past due was after day 11.
- Yeah. That's, that's the norm.
I normally get it 10 to 14 days is about all I can handle.
Really it's, I'm just cutting the gray out.
I'm just trying to keep the gray off, off my head.
So that's the secret to my haircut success.
- And as you can see, we are both in red,
which means today is Friday.
So if it's Friday, when you're watching this video,
I hope you're wearing red to support our military.
- That's right. And RED stands for,
"Remember Everyone Deployed"
for those that aren't familiar with the term RED Friday.
- All right, let's go do my least favorite thing,
go to a laundromat.
- Yeah, mine too.
- I feel like I just waste so much time,
just sitting there watching things spin in circles.
I just went into the laundromat
and there's two here in town.
And one is actually one that does laundry for you.
So we said, why not? Let's try it.
So they charge 2.30 a pound
and they can have it ready in four hours.
So I think we're going to drop off our laundry,
let them do it for us and then come back and get it.
And in the meantime, Phil will get a haircut and we'll go
to a local brewery. Dang, this sounds like a great idea.
What are you thinking?
- You're a dork. It's 10:50 in the morning.
- Phil just put his name on the list at Blazing Sheers
to have his hair cut.
So we are headed over to a local cafe and bakery.
Apparently this German bakery is the happening place.
We are chatting with the lady in line with us
and she said, if you wait until the afternoon,
the line goes out the door around the building
and there won't be anything left.
- [Phil] That's for bread and fresh baked goods. I'm a fan.
I'm such a fan that we ended up getting a, what is it?
A baguette. Yeah. - [Stacy] Baguette. Yeah.
- [Phil] Freshly made baguette.
So we will sample that later.
- [Stacy] Maybe mix up some olive oil with some spices.
That'd be delicious.
- Yes, it will.
- Love it.
It is so good.
There are signs all over the parking lot
saying you can't park there if you're going to the deli.
I guess, I guess they take over the parking lot
because they have so many people coming in.
What we did know when we got here
is Mammoth Lakes really is a ski town, so.
- Yeah.
- Most of the people are here to ski in the,
you know, in the winter when it's snow pack.
But because of all the ski slopes,
it's a great place for mountain bikers
and Phil just got all excited.
- [Phil] I did, I'm like, man, I gotta up my bike game.
This looks phenomenal.
I was just looking at the bike map
and they have bike trails all over the place.
And I've been jonesing to do something like this.
Now, granted,
I haven't been on my mountain bike in forever.
This here would get the juices flowing for me
to get me back on the bike.
- Thank you. Mammoth Lakes Laundromat, or, Laundry,
whatever you want to call it.
It is the most expensive laundry we've ever done.
But it was, - [Phil] It was worth it.
- [Stacy] it was worth it today,
but I may never do it again.
- No, it was definitely worth it because we...
- Well, I don't know. We spent $60 to do our laundry.
- Yeah. But we also got to explore for three hours,
instead of sitting at a laundromat.
I got my ears lowered, we had some nice lunch.
- Okay. So coming from the miser, it really wasn't worth it.
Although, - Okay.
- As much as I hate the laundromat.
- Okay, if you were in the same situation,
if you had the opportunity to drop it off
and have somebody else do it and,
- And pay $60.
- And they used our detergent because Stacy's a little
skin sensitive to other detergents.
- I'm highly allergic to tTide
and I'll break out in hives and itch for a week.
- So they allowed us to use our own.
Cause we were coming here to do it on our own.
But if you're in the same boat
and you had the opportunity
to have somebody else do it for you,
while you went and spent time with each other
and looked at each other lovingly eyes,
- He's so full of crap. - Would you do it?
Let me know.
- He's making it sound good is what he's doing.
- Pa-ra-pa.
- Whatever.
We are finally taking the Jeep in.
We're dropping it off to try and get the repairs started.
- Yeah.
Still don't know when we're going to get the window in
or the other framing pieces and the inside door panel.
But we're going to try to get a jumpstart
on the body damage, so both front doors are dented,
scratched, so they've got to do a little bodywork,
a little paint.
We hope, we're hoping they can get that done
and then as the parts come in, hopefully, this week.
- Fingers crossed.
- Yeah. Cause we've been sitting here
since the 4th of August.
- And what's today?
- The 23rd.
- Yeah. So it's been a minute.
It actually happened overnight on the fourth.
So we've been waiting for parts and insurance since then.
All right. We got a rental car.
It's a Nissan something. What is it Phil?
- Altima.
- It's an Altima. It doesn't really matter what it is.
It's going to get me to where I need to go.
- [Stacy] Problem?
- Yeah. The tape gave way on the top,
and it popped out while we,
while I was driving and I was like, oh no,
I don't want to lose it, so.
- Yeah. We don't want to lose it.
Even though we're
dropping it off, but still. - I mean I,
I got 30 miles to go, but I didn't want it...
as soon as this whole thing popped open,
I just didn't want the wind it, peel it back anymore.
So I had to , that's why I kept the tape in there.
All right. We're good, back on the road.
Great news. They got all the parts in.
I was not expecting to hear that today, so.
- [Stacy] I Definitely thought
it would be later this week myself.
- Yeah. So we, I said so hopefully by Friday?
He says, oh yeah.
So hopefully in a couple of days, we'll know even,
even more news when we're getting out of here
so that we can plan accordingly.
- Cleaning out the car,
we're handing over the keys to the Jeep,
to the collision place.
And then I guess we get to go play after that.
After 24 days,
here at this campground right outside Yosemite,
guess who's finally packing it up.
- Whoop, whoop. Moving day!
- As you can see behind Phil,
the Jeep is back there. It's hanging out.
We picked it up two days ago.
And the collision center did a great job.
Phil's messing with his pole right now.
- Yes he is.
- Actually. I don't know if you can see it,
let me walk forward. He's bringing down our antenna.
We actually needed it here sitting outside Yosemite because
we had a teeny bit of a signal,
but it wasn't quite strong enough to get our videos uploaded
and do some other stuff we needed to do.
And let me tell you, this antenna,
will definitely make your signal more powerful.
- We haven't really talked about it much,
because we haven't used it that often,
but when we have needed to use it,
it is, I mean, it's really, really helped us out.
We were pulling without the antenna,
just on our 7-in-1 antenna,
we were pulling anywhere from 5 to 7 megs down,
which eh, not bad.
You know, we can still access email and whatnot.
We put this thing up and then I pointed it,
now it's a directional antenna.
So I found where the satellites were using an app,
Cell Mapper, pointed to it,
had to tweak it a little bit and dialed it in.
We were pulling anywhere from 16 to 20 down,
after I put this up.
- You know, this did it.
Without this, I wouldn't have been able to upload at all.
We would have had to go,
go into town and take our computers and stuff.
But this does make a huge difference.
Like Phil said, when and if we need it.
And if you haven't seen our internet video
to show you our internet system, I'll link that down below,
but this with our regular internet.
- PepWave router.
- Yeah. Thank you.
My brain wasn't working. - Yeah.
- It has really changed our internet
and it is so much better.
