I left town...with a guy

Good morning. I am in Austin, Texas today and I feel like my throat's starting to hurt which is not good. I think it might just be because it was so hot and cold last night. The weather's kind of bad. It's been storming. Let's see. It's 51 degrees today but it's supposed to be sunny in 73 and tomorrow is sunny in 77. Now, why am I in Austin you might think. Well, let me put myself together, get ready for the day and we'll talk about it. Open roads, quiet mornings, sleeping under skies most people only see on screens but freedom comes with a trade-off. You are your own navigator, your own mechanic and even your own lookout. That's where the Wolfbox G900 Pro comes in. This isn't just a dash cam. It's a full-time co-pilot built for the kind of life that doesn't follow maps. With its ultra wide front and rear cameras, you see everything. Tight trail switchbacks, crowded city streets or that car riding you a little too close behind you in the Because when your home is on wheels, awareness isn't optional. It's everything. The G900 Pro's crystal clear 4k front view and sharp rear display give you confidence whether you're backing into a forest campsite or parallel parking in a city you've never been to. So no guesswork, no blind spots, just clarity. And when the unexpected happens, because eventually it always does, you've got automatic recording and reliable footage that has your back. Think of it as your silent witness documenting every mile and every moment. But van life isn't just about safety. It's about simplicity. That's why the G900 Pro is designed to blend right into your setup with a 12-inch touchscreen, voice control, clean install, intuitive controls, no clutter, no fuss, just gear that works so you can focus on the road ahead or the view behind you. From sunrise drives through desert highways to midnight stops under mountain skies, the Wolfbox G900 Pro keeps watch so you don't have to. Because out here, freedom matters. But peace of mind? That's priceless. Wolfbox G900 Pro. Built for the road you actually live on. Make sure you check out the link in my description for an exclusive 20% off your own Wolfbox dashcam. And we're back. So, like I said, we are in Austin, Texas today. And we are at the, well, I'm not at, but I'm going to the Lone Star Overland Expo. The Lone Star Overland Adventure and Power Sports show is where I'm going. And I am here with a friend of mine, his name is Kyle. Don't get any ideas, he has a girlfriend. I know you guys are crazy, some of you anyway. So we're just here to go check out the expo, so we're going to do that today. I just got ready. It's only 8 30 and doors don't open until 10, so we probably have about an hour before we head that way. So there is no camping there, so we are just at a campground outside of Austin. It's a nice campground, unfortunately it was like almost completely booked. We are staying in their emergency spot because the spot we did get, they didn't like how we had to park because it's two big vans. Kyle has a 170 sprinter van and they're huge, and so it's just a big, you know, we need a big section. So they let us have this emergency spot last night. He went and talked to them this morning and they said, well, you can stay in that same spot tonight, but you will have to figure something else out tomorrow because we are completely at capacity. And while the weather was really bad yesterday and not a lot of people actually showed up, they can't just give spots away just in case. They don't know why people aren't showing up and if and when they will. So that makes sense. So all else fails. We will find something on iOverlander, which is just like trying to find free camping in the city or possibly a KOA. So I'm going to take you guys along with us for the Overland Expo and then we will have a little cozy night in the van. Maybe we might even do a little fire. I have tons of firewood. It would have been cool to do it last night, but it was wet and rainy, so we didn't get to. So hopefully today goes a little smoother. The weather is actually supposed to be really nice. It's like sunny in 75 and then tomorrow sunny in 77. So I'm looking forward to some nice weather after some really bad weather recently. So I'm gonna have my coffee and I'll see you guys in a little bit. I want to be downer. So we just got back from, well I guess we didn't just get back. We went to the the Overland Expo and it was really cool, but it was very small. Much smaller than I thought it was going to be and honestly it's not necessarily a two-day event if we're going to be real here. So we came back. We went to Walmart, picked up some sunscreen and bug spray and stuff and there's some really cool hiking trails and a little waterfall here at this campground. So we just changed. I got my swimsuit on and we are gonna go hike over to the little falls area. Maybe even go swimming, I'm hoping. And then tomorrow we're actually staying at Harvest Host, still in the Austin area. We're gonna go to paddleboard and or kayak on the river that runs through downtown Austin, which is something I've always wanted to do and I've never done and I've lived here all my life. So not in Austin but in Texas. So I'm really excited about that and we are here tonight. We'll probably do a little campfire and nothing crazy. Just a nice relaxing summer feeling day. So we're just taking a break. I am uploading a video for you guys and then after that's uploaded we're gonna hit the hike and go adventure. It's looking pretty tasty. It's so hot. It's gonna be a banger in about five minutes. Now that I've eaten and I smell like a campfire, I'll go take a shower. So this campground has hot showers. I'm really looking forward to one. Unfortunately that was not a very hot shower. It was like kind of warm. It got the job done. It just wasn't super enjoyable. Sad. But I'm really tired so I take my contacts out. I kind of wash my face in the shower but I don't have any face wash. So I'm gonna wipe it with some makeup wipe removers. Oh yeah. See? It didn't do a very good job. Don't mind my toilet. So I actually have my Starlink hooked directly up to shore power. So I have internet all night long. So I'm gonna cuddle up in bed and get warm and I'm gonna watch a movie on my laptop. I don't know what. Oh I'm gonna make some magnesium first. So I take magnesium fairly often and this is actually great for muscle recovery. It's good for your bones and your cardiovascular health as well. And so I typically take this. It helps with like muscle cramps after working out and it also helps you sleep so good. I love it. I love it love it love it love it love it. I like the first form one and this is the wild berry flavor. I don't necessarily. It's not bad. I just just add it to a little bit of water and it's just a little scoop. I like to add hot water and lemon and it is chef's kiss. The perfect pre-bedtime drink. But I don't feel like heating up any water and I don't have any lemons. So we're just gonna do room temp water and I just use my coffee frother to mix it up real good. It's just a wee little scoop and I swear by this. I swear by it. I mean everyone's different though. Some people don't necessarily like that one but there's all kinds of different magnesiums. I highly recommend trying them and finding out which one you like. What works best for you. But it's great for helping you sleep. I had I was having trouble going to sleep last night. So I actually I was up till like one o'clock in the morning. Literally just laying in bed. I laid down at 10. Could not fall asleep. So I got up at like midnight. Made my magnesium. Drank it. Was out by 1am and slept really really good. And I woke up at 7 this morning. I set my alarm. We had some things to do this morning and that's why I had to get up. But tomorrow I get to sleep in. So I'm gonna enjoy this magnesium. My lower my back kind of hurts pretty bad today. I've been walking all day long. It was really fun. We went to the expo and then we walked because it was in downtown Austin. And so we walked over to I don't know if you know you know I'll post or I'll throw a little picture in here. There's a little obviously a wall that says I love you so much and it's really like Instagram famous. And so I have lived in Austin. Not Austin. I've lived in Texas you know forever and I have yet to see it. So we had to walk over there today and I took a picture of it. And it's like the building it's on is like a taco place. They have breakfast tacos and normal tacos. We got a couple normal tacos and it was actually really good. So good day good day. Which you guys saw earlier in the video. Tacos. Then we came back when we went to Walmart. Got a couple supplies. We came back and did a little not really hiking but we went over to this little waterfall and we hung out there and it was really nice to just go and sit down and enjoy nature for a little bit. And then there was a few people that came and it was these two girls. They were with more people but these two girls essentially. One was teaching the other how to fish and it was her first time ever fishing and I'm telling you within three minutes of her throwing her line in she caught a gigantic bass. I actually well she caught it and then like didn't want to touch it because she was afraid and then her friend was like trying to reel her line in and it got caught on something. So Kyle got up and went and helped her and I got a little video of it so I will clip that in here. So that was a very interesting and eventful moment but it was a really nice day. We came back. I got the fire going. Sat by the fire. Listened to music and it was just really nice. We had noodles for dinner. Nothing crazy. Nothing fancy and then we put the fire out and we went and took showers and now we're back at camp. He's getting settled and I'm getting settled and I can't wait to just have my magnesium go to sleep because I'm so sleepy. So I'm gonna lay down and get cozy. My magnesium and I'm gonna throw a movie on my laptop and get some rest. You heard a snapping sound? Yeah and I'm like like it snapped and that's when I knew what.
