A break away, couple's weekend is good for every couple..Glad you had fun ! Thanks for sharing.

I work for a steel mill. Our company buys us fruit to keep us hydrated. Something I don't think many people know about is fruit is a great way to stay hydrated.

I lived in Panama City for over 40 years. You have to be careful of sharks around the piers because they are fishing and baiting for them on the piers. Also jellyfish can be bad at times because they can sting you. Otherwise it’s a beautiful beach.

Remote parking and take the trolly. To clearwater beach . Don't forget Fort Desoto park. It's a beautiful beach

Happy Father's Day/ vacation. Glad y'all had fun ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

40$ for parking is cheap. In Seattle, it ran us 75$! All we did was visit an Italian restaurant too. For just 1 night in San Francisco we had to pay 60! La Jolla was 50$. Unfortunately, if you want to visit certain areas...it costs. And we ask about every discount there is from Military to Senior discounts.

Alaska looks adorable w his summer shortie cut! 🐾🤩

Dunedin has the BEST hidden gems. We live on the Clearwater / Dunedin line and get the best of all worlds. We tend to hit the Dunedin Causeway or Honeymoon Island vs Clw Beach just because of parking and crowds. Glad you enjoyed!!

Dog is getting chatty eh? ...oh wait it's a doc Doolittle episode! 😂😉 😋 that ice cream looked incredible alright! Fun video! 🍻

You were literally in our backyard!!! We absolutely love Honeymoon island. We usually play on the causeway just prior to the state park. Just for your knowledge, there is a campground within 2 miles of the park…. I have a few hidden gems that we can share in the area, if you want. We do live in a beautiful area!!! Do not share all our secret spots…we need some tranquility from snowbirds and tourists. 😂😂

Hi, fellow Floridiot here. You guys seem very knowledgeable about RVs and their systems. I have a question that I haven't been able to get a clear answer for. There has been a couple of times in the past year that I've had my RV where I went to go have my propane tank filled. Today I went and they were only able to put 4 lbs in a ten pound tank. The gauge said it was only about 60% full. The guy that filled the tank didn't speak very clear English, but what I got out of it...and the first time I had the tank filled...was that I had too much air in the tank and I needed to purge it. Evidently this is too time consuming a process to be done while the tank was being filled and from what I could interpret from the gentleman's broken English was that I needed to just open the purge valve and let it hiss until the white mist comes out like it did when he purged the fill line he connected to my tank. He suggested that I bleed it for about five minutes a day until the air was out. On the other hand, logic tells me that if the liquid level is below the purge valve that as the pressure drops the liquid propane will just evaporate and I'll just be dumping good propane overboard. I don't think the guy was lying to me, but I just can't find any concrete procedure spelled out on how to do it. So my question is, did I properly understand what the guy was telling me? Will it spay white mist once the air is out? If not how can I purge the air so I can get the tank FULL on the gauge (which takes into account that 80% is considered FULL). Honestly, I should really get one of those T-valves that will allow me to hook up an external tank to the RV so I don't have to decamp to go get my LP tank filled, but I still need to know how to purge the Onboard tank.

Lol, sometimes the best solution, is the last solution. It's like the old adage, If I had look for my key in the LAST place, I would have saved a lot of time looking for them. Just do it! Love you guys.

Good video. I like the idea of looking at the combined probability of failure. I think the fear is what we can't control...and thus over focusing on what we can. No matter how well we care for ourselves...we will die and possibly very sick as well. No one wants to deal with money problems...especially when your sick.

Great video ❤

Legend has it the viewers are still waiting to see the ambience at the ice cream shop to this day...

11:50 It's vacant 😊 There would be a flat "door" on the snail's foot, covering the entrance if it's still a snail. You would see the crabs' toes peeking around the bend. They have to be big enough to move the shell. I did find a baby octopus 🐙 in a large abandoned conch 🐚 in the keys. Ya never know.

Is the power you send to the house going into the grid if you're not using it all? If so, does the power company know? Its a potential risk to line workers in a piwer outage. Just saying.

@GratefulGlamper

It doesn’t go back to the grid, just helps off set the house energy, we also ordered a different meter that will allow it to go back to the grid if there is excess so the power company will be aware.
