Goodbye Boynton Beach for the last time? 

hey good morning everybody Sarasota Tim coming to you from South Florida here Boon Beach leaving Boon Beach crossing over the spillway right here uh just pulled out a tight pants point for the last time uh probably for quite a while uh who knows how long but there won't be any return visits here uh even though my doctor wants to see me again in 3 months I'll probably get another doctor and transfer everything I've got uh to my new uh location of which is still undecided and uh we'll go from there but uh Ted and Jolene will be vacating uh Chef Luke and everybody will be vacating and everybody's going back North it's going to be getting hot down here they're going to be around another month a few weeks for Chef Luke another month for Ted and Jolene and uh it was uh a great send off she made a fantastic breakfast uh with these uh eggs potatoes cut up fresh pineapple and coffee and just you know another you know great meal at the tiki hut we had the raccoon up there Rocky is hanging out trying to see where my glasses are there they are I got everything what I don't have I'm not worried about it I put some grease and the wheel bearings of the uh cramper uh it wasn't much needed I oh train's coming I'm going to be stuck here uh so uh I did that I did not check the lug nuts but I will and I'm trying to reach my friends in Sarasota I'm thinking about just driving over there right now and visiting them for a day or two before running returning to Jacksonville um I I miss them and I want to see them so let's see here comes the trains it can be a freight train or is it the fast train looks like a freight train I don't see it moving too fast so I'll go on down to hypo XO yeah it's crawling so I'll just pull on out here coming out it's actually yeah it's a freight train but um I said goodbye to everybody like I said had a good time slept well last night in the cramper I feel good about Towing this than anything else and uh the truck I am not going to change my oil I checked the oil this morning after letting the engine idle uh for a little bit while I was backing it up to the camper and uh so it got warm you know and then it sat and uh all the oil settled for quite a while before I checked it and the last time I checked it when I was at a gas station on the trip it was a half a qut low this morning it registers full and is nowhere near black you know when they change it when it's new the synthetic oil it's very difficult to even see it on the dipstick but it is far from being dark to where I'm going to go and spend $150 or whatever it costs to change the oil when it it's been clear known for years that synthetic oil is good for 10,000 mil and I'm not P I'm not pulling some big heavy heavy trailer so brake fluid antifreeze all the things I checked the cabin filter and took it out and blew it out with an air hose it could be replaced but it wasn't like full of crap uh the air filter the battery everything is still good on this half million mile truck so I will not be even considering changing my oil maybe of course I will uh when I reach maybe 10,000 Mi out on the road and I'll probably just use the dealer I got to watching a couple of YouTube videos last night it's 8 and A2 quarts of oil there is a special wrench you have to use to get the oil filter off you drain the oil filter before you remove it because there's a a big mess if you just screw it right off so you drain that first then you got to buy uh you know Crush Washer and there's O-rings that come with the filter and there's so much money if you buy that kit to actually do it and get down there I mean your time is worth something and sometimes the dealers will have these specials uh for oil changes uh you can find a coupon online for their dealer or something or like I say I'll have you know Walmart do it but I'm not going to do it I'm not going to do it I don't want to carry around all that stuff you know buy the ramps that you drive up on which makes it a lot easier uh I don't have a skid plate it's not a four-wheel drive so there's less to take off one video I was watching in the four-wheel drive Tundra it has all these plates with all these bolts you got to take off just like the 4Runner had just it's just a hassle I know a lot of you like doing it and can do it and I can do it too I can do anything but I don't want to do it how about that so all I want to do is go in get it done and get out Bring It Around front to me and I think the cost is negligible uh versus doing it yourself I'm not sure but I don't have that you can buy that they want $75 for that kit that removes the uh oil filter this one guy on YouTube and there's a funnel that screws in I know you don't have to buy that you can just stick a regular funnel in the in the hole but there's this one that screws in to where you add your oil and a thing that screws on top of that and you can just pour the oil without any spill it's it's fantastic uh but it's $75 for one $55 for another $ 30 something dollar for the uh filter and you know he bought the Toyota which is really dumb uh you don't need to do that put mobile one in a z uh 0 w20 of mobile one or Valene or any of them is all you need so yeah if you have all that and you have a Sticks and Bricks you can put that on the shelf and you can do them all your life you're going to keep the truck forever sure make the investment do that but for me nah less is more now uh as I get on down the road here I got to call my friend again and uh decide to either go there or head on back to Jacksonville and I'm on 95 right now here it comes I got my gun back I got my doctor visit I got the eye visit I got the Dermatology visit I saw Ted and Jolene they really needed help I didn't have any idea how much help they needed we got the deck done and there's plenty of other work there to to do it's never ending but that was something that was Priority One now he's going to uh work on getting that U Corvette together and that's what they're going to take up to New York with them and uh so everybody's kind of bringing everything to a head tightening up the hatch and battening down the hatches and getting ready for the uh and there's people that'll be there you know plenty of people that are there year round that will take care of EC take care of the security of the property uh you know all that that's that's all covered don't worry about that just because they go away that doesn't mean the place is just sitting there vacant no there's plenty of people but I'm glad I'm not going to be there this year too I'm glad I'm going to be a snowbird and I'm going to go find some cool air and uh travel around and see some cool places meet some new cool people meet some of you hopefully out there I got to see my son and shanana um that was a great uh dinner we had at Cheesecake Factory and Walkin Riverfront uh yesterday getting some more video for you guys of those boats it was a beautiful day but man what a cluster down there when you want to leave and come back to Boon you get down there on Broward Boulevard and you get on 95 in Broward County and you're heading north all of those people that live down there I couldn't deal with it I could not deal with it now a lot of people they don't drive a car they have bicycles scooters ebikes uh they work in the area the guy that served us yesterday at Cheesecake said he lives like right down the road he probably rides a bike to work and that's great it's kind of like I've never been to Manhattan but it made me feel like Manhattan and I know Manhattan is you know on steroids compared to that Los sis Boulevard but they're throwing them highrises up they'll tear down a a 15 story building and build a 30 story building and they're just putting them up side by side it's just shooting up the skyline I showed you from my son's balcony it's going to be like um Hollywood it's just it's just getting worse and worse or better and better for people that want to come here and you know move into one of those and live like that they love it you know love it uh and others are like hey you're squeezing me out you know I can't take the crowds and I can't take the cost and so it's a musical chairs you know we're all moving around so I'm going somewhere else and I'm going to uh you know do what I can to take care of myself and and um think positive and be positive and maybe uh you know meet a a a new person in my life if not well whatever uh and meet friends anyway and enjoy myself I love doing that and uh driving this truck I like driving and I have a nice home uh when I get tired of it and I want to come back and chill out for a while in Jacksonville or I'll come and get it I'll leave this somewhere and decide this is where I want to live now and I'll unhook this and just drive back stay in the truck or in a motel room a couple of nights hook up the Flagstaff and bring it uh to a new destination so all of these are possibilities I hope that you all stay along uh come along for the ride and see what uh what what each day brings and we'll just keep crushing it
