Of all the choices you could have made for your life, why did the RV life appeal to you? It felt like freedom. Hey everybody, this is my friend Debbie and you're going to tell us all about her amazing Lazy Days RV. We're going to get a tour in a minute. I decided to go full-time last year. I have been wanting to do this since about 2016, but I had to figure out how to do it, how to get work on the road. And so I planned and I finally bought my RV in 2021 and moved in full-time last year around August and I've been traveling on the road ever since. It's all original so I didn't want to mess with too much of it because it was in Captain Beautiful shape, but I wanted to kind of get rid of the old funky wallpaper and some other things. So I painted it and I decorated it and I just made it my own. And where have you gone so far? Here, Arizona. Yep, yep. I've been to Utah, I've been to California, I've been to Tennessee, but I'm just starting so I've got a lot of places to go.  I like space when I'm camping. So I enjoy all aspects of it. I like all types. I really don't like to be in parking lots though, you know, that kind of thing. That really doesn't do much for me. Power, I have 400 watts of solar. I have a 2000 watt inverter and I only have two AGM batteries at this point. So I can't like go hog wild once the sun goes down, but I get what I need out of it. While the sun's up, I can use my air fire and cook and that gives me that, you know, power for that. But at nighttime, I just really want to be able to turn on my TV or charge things. Say hi to her puppy.   She just wants to be with, you know, with me, with people. How did she take to traveling? Completely fine. Like nothing as long as she had her little pink bed. So what did you decide to do for work while you were on the road? So I decided I wanted to go back to school and become a certified RV inspector. So I went to Texas 2021 and I got certified and then I did that for about six months, went back to school and took some of the advanced tech courses. So now I kind of do both. So I'm an RV inspector and I do attack for some, you know, small repairs kind of thing and preventative maintenance. And I'll put her website address down below, but tell us what it is. DebsRVServices.net Luckily, she's also doing a YouTube channel. It's new, but her content is amazing. So tell us the name of your channel. Debs RV services. I'm putting on there like some of the inspections that I go to. And I'm showing people what I find. I'm also doing other tips like how to preventative maintenance. And you know, if I go on repairs, I will video like what I'm doing there. And you know, even if I struggle and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do something, that's going to be on there so that people can see my mistakes too and learn from it. Well, great. Can we get a chore? Absolutely. Okay, Deb, tell us about this sweet rig. Okay. So it's a 2000 lazy days. It's a 26 and a half foot rear bath. It has a Ford E450 chassis. Runs great. Prior owners took very good care of it. So all these cushions are original. They're super comfortable. This was a wall that had like a shelf thing on it. I took it off and I got this picture. So I repainted all the walls and I painted in here. This is like the bathroom area. There's a shower. There is the toilet is over here. And then you have the refrigerator here. Propane? Yes, it's propane and electric. This is kind of the bath area. And I don't use the sink. I put my burpee here because I wanted a place for my burpee and I figured I can use the kitchen sink and I don't need to use the bathroom sink. Then in the kitchen we have a, you know, the stove is here and there is an oven. I use it sometimes, but not a lot because I don't want to burn through my propane. So what I do is I use, I pull out an air fryer if I want to bake. There's a double sink here and then there's a little lift that comes up. So it extends out the counter space, which I like. I did replace this faucet here. That was a fun little job. And then there's a microwave, which is used for storage. Don't really use my microwave much. And then I have this, I won't show you the inside because all my stuff is hidden in there, not nice and orderly. There's another more space down here for all of my canned goods and dry stuff. And then I have some drawers here. And then the dining room area is good for my office and for eating. I love it.  Then I have this here, which is a cute little new purchase, but it's a USB light so that I can turn that on and there's three different settings. And then you can turn it off. So that works great for a little ambience at night or morning light. And then you don't have to use your battery power. The other thing I replaced where I put in LED lights so that they had the original type of bulbs in here. And I replaced them with LED lights. So it's more efficient. So this is like that, it's just the feel and stick, but I wanted to give this like a better look than that ugly wallpaper. So I put this over top and then I got a magnetic knife holder. This originally was or it was made with two couches. And then you could either sleep up top or you could pull these together and make a king size bed. Well, because it's just me, I decided I didn't want to keep making my bed every day. So I just pulled this out, this couch out and made it into a twin size bed. So it stays permanent and I don't have to worry about, you know, putting all this stuff away. And I have more storage room up there now. I have my TV and I have the blinds here, the prior owner put brand new blinds in and they work out really nice. So they can just either come down like this or you can bring it from the top down. How do you feel about the storage in here? You know, I really think the lazy days has a lot of good storage on the inside. So all these are storage cabinets. You know, you can open these and I have a lot of my canning stuff in here. So you open and close here. There's one on this side and then there's one over there too. So there's lots of good storage outside. There's some storage I could use a little bit more, but you know, I just have to get rid of more stuff. I don't need that much stuff. But I use this upper area here and I put tons of stuff up there. There's a ton of storage in that overhead cab. That's the gas mileage. Eight miles to the gallon. So that's the bad part. It doesn't do well. Yeah. The gas is like something that you just have to deal with. All right. Will you show us the outside? Sure. So the outside of the RV, what I did to this is I buffed out all the oxidation that was on it. So I made it look better, shiny and new. And it's well taken care of. The awning doesn't work. So the awning, I strapped it down and it's something that I need to replace, something I'm working on. But when you're out in the desert and it's super windy, you feel like you can't even use them anyway. So I'm not too worried about it. You'll notice these giant windows. One thing I didn't mention on the inside was that I love about the lazy days is the access to the outdoors from inside. You can have the best views with the lazy days with these windows. We have two giant windows, one on either side and then one in the very back, along with the other few windows here. This model was made by lazy days up until they basically closed their doors. So when you see them driving around, they still look the same. So I have a Honda CR-V. It's a 2014. It's the last year, model year, that you can actually use this as a toad. I absolutely love it. It's lighter weight too. And one thing that I didn't realize is how many things you needed to set up for a toad. So that was a big learning curve for me. And it's just something that if you're going to do that, you want to make sure that you figure out all the things you're going to need. Well, thanks Debbie for giving us a tour and letting us hear more about your RV life. Everybody, I am going to put all of Debbie's links below in the description and pinned at the top of comments to her repair service, her website and her new YouTube channel. Check it out. It's very cool. Bye everyone. Bye.


time those told that the deaf people have different laws while lemons are junky.   but many of these people used to apply on the어워레이  because they didn't see how bad


Shining table, which I think is one of the first times I've ever sat here, since living here. Layla's drinking water in the background. So today's Tuesday. I have a relatively busy day today, but nothing too crazy. It's mostly editing. I have a meeting in about an hour, a little less than an hour. Just made my favorite breakfast, which is yogurt.  I got my coffee with oat milk, and I randomly purchased this grain juice.  It just smells very green, but I thought it's never bad to get in a lot of greens, right? So here we go. That's green. I mostly taste cucumber. It supposedly has grapefruit, peppermint, tea. I don't know, I don't taste any of that. Oh yeah, I never finished saying what else is in this because, you know, that's my brain. So you have vanilla yogurt, Greek yogurt with bananas, strawberries. I usually like blueberries, but the grocery store was out of them for some reason this week. And then chia seeds and hemp hearts. I don't know, I've heard people say those are good for you. So I thought, why not? It adds a little crunch.  It's honestly not bad. It's like not the most, I wouldn't drink it if it was unpleasant. I'm sure it's better to eat a bunch of vegetables, but why not? And then we are going to get to this day started.  So it's going to be a great day. Just threw myself together in about 10 minutes. I have like five minutes until my call. Earrings, target. Clip, can you see that? Target. Shirt, Airy, I believe. Yes, this is from Airy. It's so comfortable. It's called the Henley tank. I love it. Jeanshorts, thrifted. I'm barefoot, let's go. I have quite literally like three or four minutes to do this. So let's do it. I'm gonna have to do this after the call because I simply do not have late time.  It is about to strike 10 a.m. My wifi is not working and neither is my mouse. Got the blue light glasses on. These are from Morby Parker, by the way. I don't know why they're so dirty. It is 10 o'clock now and I'm going to hop on my meeting with my financial advisor. Here we go. Hello. Good hour you guys. Call is finished and now I am going to finish cleaning this room because oh boy does it need it. Just waved with one finger because I have a memory card in my hand. Hi. Today is Friday and I didn't pick up the camera at all for the rest. I think I just fell off wherever I filmed last. I just really didn't feel like filming so I didn't. I have been working out a lot this week which has made me feel really good. I've been taking walks with Layla because it's cooled off a bit this week. So like in the evening time, we've been walking to the park and it's just been so beautiful. There's like so much beautiful desert blooming happening right now. So if it's nice enough out tonight and we take Layla for a walk, I'm gonna show you because I've just been so inspired by that lately. But yes, just got ready. I'm wearing, oh there's my shirt hanging in the back. I feel like there's always a shirt hanging in the background because I like taking it out of my closet because I usually film two to three videos when I film so that's like my backup shirt. But anyways, I'm wearing this outfit which this top is from Wild Fable. I absolutely love it. I sized up so I got a double XL in this and I just love the way it fits. I think it's super cute. And then these shorts are a pair of thrifted shorts that my friend Jasmine Whitley thrifted for me. Back in like probably last summer, I did a video on her channel where she styled me for a week and this was like probably my favorite thing she thrifted for me. Because I feel like just doing comfort things today, I think what I'm gonna do is film some videos, prep a like breakfast for me tomorrow because when I mentioned making chia pudding a couple of vlogs ago, a couple of people wanted to see how I made mine. I always love seeing how people make their recipes so I'll do that. But first, gotta film some vids. Two hours later. Well, it's a couple of hours later. I'm sitting here in my bra because I was changing.  I'm actually having one of these perfect bars. I was like kind of salty about these at first. My friend Leah introduced them to me and I was like, these are boring. And then for whatever reason, I tried another one and I was like, this is amazing. It just kind of tastes like peanut butter and honey mixed together. I really like the dark chocolate almond butter one. I like this peanut butter one. I like the peanut butter chocolate chip one. Like they, I really like them. And you keep them in the fridge and they just feel like, I don't know, they're nice and cold and like, they feel really fresh to me. I don't know if they are but I'm gonna eat some more of this because I don't have time to break to eat a meal but I do have time to eat a bar and my bra on the floor. This is me in my purist form. It's so funny how like, I just completely became a hydroflask person because probably like three summers ago. I was in Minnesota with my family and my whole family, all my cousins and stuff were all talking about their hydroflask and how they can't live without it. And in my mind I was like, it's just water. Like it's not that, and they're just like, it's amazing. And I was like, hmm. And then Drew got one for his birthday like, I don't know, 2018 or something like that. And then I was like, wait, I want one. And then I got one. And I literally cannot survive without my hydroflask. I need my icy cold water at all times. Like I would truly die without it. I drink it like 10 times in intervals. Like when I'm filming videos, I drink it when I'm taking lay-over walks. I drink it when I'm just like sitting on the couch watching TV. Like I just drink so much more water that way. And it doesn't have to be a hydroflask either. I'm, yes, I'm talking with my mouth full. Any water bottle that you can carry around and keep a bunch of nice cold water in, highly recommend. I think I didn't really get it because I can't believe I'm going on a tangent about a hydroflask, but I've never been that obsessed with like, I have to have the iciest, coldest water. Like I'll drink a room temperature water bottle, no problem. I grew up drinking water from the tap. Like I'm just not picky when it comes to water. But then for some reason, since I got this, I've just become obsessed. And I still will drink like any water. There's just something about this. I love you. This has been snack and chat time. I will catch up with you later. It's a bit later. Drew's doing some D&D stuff in the background. So if you see that, ignore it. But I'm gonna make some chia pudding and so excited. Why am I excited about that? I don't know. It feels like eating like chocolatey goodness for breakfast. I've been eating chia pudding for years, honestly. The things you're gonna need are chia seeds, obviously. I'm just gonna do them all, screw it. I have another bag waiting for me in the pantry. Then you take your cocoa powder or a cacao powder or whatever it is you have. I think I do like a tablespoon. And that may seem like a lot, but I like it really chocolatey. So that can vary. And then typically you're gonna wanna sweeten it cause it wouldn't be, it would be completely unsweetened. So I use like sometimes I use stevia cause I have packets of those. Sometimes I use sugar. Sometimes I use brown sugar. Sometimes I use agave, honey, like whatever I have. So I'm gonna sweeten it. Then you add your almond milk. I'm gonna do probably like, I think it's four tablespoons of seeds to a cup of liquid if I'm not mistaken. Oh, nice build. That's okay. Then you take the lid to whatever container it is you're using. I'm using a mason jar cause it's just what we have.  I have to shake it like really hard cause the cocoa powder doesn't really like to blend. There are lots of other methods like people put maple syrup, they put vanilla extract. Like you can do whatever it is you want, but this is how I like them. After a while, basically the chia seeds will like get their little gelatinous exterior. And then it makes kind of like a pudding texture. And then I just like dump it in a bowl the next morning or whatever. And I'll put like strawberries, bananas, whatever I feel like putting on there. And it's very delicious. So I'm gonna put it in the fridge and I'm gonna eat this tomorrow morning. I think you can eat it after like a couple of hours but I just like wait overnight. And yes, I've backed it by pajamas, obviously. I'm gonna show you really quickly. Drew doesn't want me to show him because his hair is really, really long and he's getting it cut next week after he gets his second vaccine. But he's doing something for D&D and he's creating like an island. A jungle. A jungle. Here we have it. Here's what he has created. I wanna go here. It looks like Hawaii. Wow. Give us a tour. What'd you do here? What was your method? You put something in the blender. I know that much. Oh, coconut fiber. The food process. Coconut fiber. I'm sure there are gonna be people that are like, don't do that to your food processor and who cares? Too late, we already did it. Yeah, too late. The bottom is chipboard. The bases are chipboard. Okay. And then I used a texture paint. Thick mud. Thick mud. Nice. And then coconut fiber on top and then I put all the plants on. Beautiful. And now it is time to make some dinner because last night we had shake shack for dinner. It was delicious. He like took a break from work this morning and he came into our room and he was like, can we have salads for dinner tonight? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, I just need something light and like, vegetables. I was like, yeah, we can do that. So I'm gonna start by air frying some vegetables because I love a sweet green moment and we don't have sweet green here which is the most tragic thing of life. So I'm gonna try my best to like, I've done this in the past, like recreate a sweet green moment. So I'm just gonna do like some sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, I have some broccoli, crispy onions, croutons, nuts, quinoa, craisans, things like that. So it'll be good. Drew and I like very different salads. He's like a super savory lentils, hard boiled eggs, raw onions, things like that. I don't want any of that except maybe lentils. I like like sweet, fruity. So we make different salads. Here's an herb garden update by the way. We've moved some things around. The cilantro, fortunately for me, unfortunately for Drew, I think has like bolted. So I don't know if that's gonna grow in very well, but we have some oregano here. Or no, wait, this is rosemary, I think. Then we have some basil that's going in nicely. I'm very excited about the basil, then the cilantro, ew. And then oregano, right there on the right. There's a tiny little sproutling. So we're making some progress. This is also, first of all, fashion. Yes, we know. This is a very exciting time to be alive because I get to use my salad spinner that I just bought. And that is how you know you are old. We're frying up some tempeh bacon in the air fryer right now, which smells kind of bad.  I like tempeh bacon, but I don't like it right now in this moment. Okay, time to rinse. I just got so tired of like soppy wet salads. I used to take like paper towels and towels and stuff and like try to dry off my greens and it just was never enough. And I remember my mom having a salad spinner when I was growing up and being like absolutely mesmerized by it. So I was like, we have to try it. I just realized you can't see anything I'm chopping, but I'm just chopping lettuce. It's not that exciting.  Then take the lid on and you spin. Then I cut it. Now look at that. Ugh, we love to see it. And then you have all of this liquid. You can just dump it out. All right, mixing up what I have so far. You already know, salad garden croutons. Then we have tempeh bacon. It doesn't taste like bacon to me. It just tastes good. And lately I've been using this Annie's goddess tahini vegan dressing. That's very good. So good. A hundred percent taste better when they're eaten out of the mixing bowl. Drew disagrees with me, but I just, I will die on this hill. Here's Drew's salad. Very perfectly neat. Beautiful. And here's my salad. So you can tell which one of us is the neat one. I also recently just got, got one of these for downstairs because we had one for our bedroom TV and it just really sets the vibe. I can't even remember if I've talked about the fact that we started watching another British crime show. Obviously, if you watch my channel, you know the deal. We started watching a show called line of duty, which I believe was recommended from one of you or some of you. I think when I asked for recommendations, that was like one of the top commented ones. We're so obsessed. It's like easily worked its way into my top five now. We're already on season four, but I feel like because there are only six episodes per season and we watch like one a night, you go through it pretty fast. Yeah, sometimes two. And then like on the weekend, we've watched like three or four. So we've like bring through it kind of fast. We don't watch too many because it's a very like heavy intense. Yeah. We like it a lot. So we just started season four. We're gonna start episode two of season four and we're just so obsessed with it. I've like yelled, I've screamed, I've rejoiced in people's death. It's a good time. Highly recommend. The first what five seasons are on Hulu and I guess there's a new season on BBC one that's airing as we speak in the UK. For all my UK friends, can you please help me out and tell me how I can watch it online? Is there like a BBC one login thing that you use? How does that work? Because I have a VPN, but I don't know how to access it and it's not on ITV. So please help. You may go for a walk and after dinner walkies. In case you were wondering, I am 100% walking the dog in my pajamas. I do not care. Some of you say that Layla's little prance gives you a lot of serotonin. So there you go. Work it sister. Please enjoy this montage of all these beautiful desert flowers because I've become an old lady who like wants to take photos and videos of nature but it's just so gorgeous. Like I can't get over it. So beautiful. This is like the perfect time of year. We just walked back into the house. It smells like Brussels sprouts. It stinks. We used to have a roommate named Jake who's like one of our closest friends. I haven't seen him in forever. We miss him so much. But we used to always cook Brussels sprouts and he'd come home and be like, come on. Like it smells so bad. We'd be like, sorry. And now I know how he felt. It smells terrible. Anyways, we are now going to eat this brownie that we took from my mom's house yesterday. She made these for us. We're gonna maybe have some ice cream.  I just wanna enjoy my quality time. So I love you guys so much. Thank you so much for hanging out with me and I will see you in the next vlog. Bye.


The mandatory hotel booking by the three nationalities as earlier announced by the Ministry of Interior. Remember, I posted a video talking about the recent announcement that we are made, that we are supposed to come into effect on 14th of this month regarding the visas on arrival for the three nationalities. The three nationalities we are talking about, we are talking about our brothers coming from Iran, brothers coming from India and all people coming from Pakistan. Remember, as per the government website, as per the peninsula updates, there was a mandate that was coming into force on 14th of February, 14th of this March, this April whereby it will be mandatory to have what you call a hotel booking for these nationalities to access or to be granted what you call the visa on arrival. Remember, these countries have a waiver of visas on arrival, they can get the visas for their families in whatever case but they have it on what you call on arrival. Remember, one of the requirements for them to have what you call the visa on arrival was booking what you call a hotel under what you call the Discover Cata website that the requirement was to first book up what you call a hotel then they will be granted what you call a visa on arrival. That was a requirement and remember another thing just to update was that the requirement that they had to book a hotel under what you call the Discover Cata website for the duration of the time that we are supposed to stay in Cata. Remember, if your visa was for three months or six months, definitely the hotel booking or your voucher of hotel booking definitely had to show that you booked for that hotel under what you call the Discover Cata website for that time of duration that you're going to stay. However, Discover Cata removes what you call the visa on arrival hotel booking option from its website as per the latest updates that we have. Remember, this was posted on the 5th of April and Discover Cata removes the visa on arrival hotel booking option from the website. Remember, the mandatory hotel booking for three nationalities under using Discover Cata website for the visa on arrival has been moved from its website. We don't know why it was moved but according it is not actually very clear why the hotel booking requirement for people from India and people from Iran and people from Pakistan was removed by Discover Cata. Remember, the nationalities arriving on these countries on visa on arrival had to have that as a requirement with the mandate or the announcement that was made that was supposed to come into effect or come into force on 14th April of this month. Meaning that this was partially removed down temporality. The Discover Cata website removes this requirement temporality. Why? According to the peninsula called Discover Cata to find out what it is, what it was it say according to the instruction they said they will update the required information when that time comes. Remember Discover Cata on 5th April 2022 had announced a change in the requirement and added a compulsory hotel booking as one of the requirements to have the visa on arrival. However, this to some extent when you look at to the social media this revoked a lot of resentment, got a lot of resentment from people about the requirement and which was actually requesting the concerned ministry to kind of update and look and think into the requirement. Well, let us try to see the latest updates when that time comes and we see if the requirements will still stay for those people that are coming from Pakistani, coming from Iran and coming from India if you will still have what you call the mandated hotel booking for the visa on arrival as a requirement.

And I'm back. I hope you guys found that enjoyable or at least not unenjoyable Again, I don't consider myself, you know the greatest, you know put name of whatever your favorite musician is here I'm not that guy most likely, but I do like creating stuff and I am happy with some of my work at least I pump out a lot But hopefully I didn't you know run off a bunch of you guys who who just thought that my music was horrible I just need a little break It's a long day So I'm just going through stuff found this recently It's a 256 megabyte flash drive Geek squad, you know best buys little thing I got this on the back. It has the date of manufactured date or copyright date of 2014 copyright copyright on I guess the look of this. I don't know Yeah, so I got this you know Over 15 years ago close to 15 years ago But I bring it up because one 256 megabytes and it probably cost me 25 bucks back then It's just amazing how far we've come and although I'm not a big fan of Geek Squad services because seriously Hmm gonna say this probably gonna insult some people out there I wouldn't trust these people with my computer if someone is good with computers They're not running around fixing other people's computers doing something useful with computers That being said anyway the Geek Squad There is one thing that I like about them and a few other products are like this And this is just one that I have on the back here. There's a little caution a warning this Geek Squad comm that says Despite being excellent for transporting files. This drive does not increase your capacity for mental telepathy Obviously a joke and true at the same time because you want to put something false on a product like this But I always found that funny that and there was a another one. It might have been the same product Maybe on the outside packaging. It said something like This this product is great for transferring files But should not be used as a flotation device and I love when companies have sense of humor like this Even though, you know, I'm not a big best buyer Geek Squad Fan, I just love companies that put little jokes like that take the time for humor and stuff 20 years ago. I was working for a company in town In an electrical company we install lights. I spent a little bit of time running wires But for most part I was programming the lights. They were Lutron systems, I believe is what they were called and I would you know program the lighting system so that Basically, I think I talked about this. I've talked about this before Every light in the house or each every set of lights were run to modules in the garage Or someplace usually the garage there where there's a panel and each panel would have these modules Usually two per panel and each module could handle it was either four or eight sets of lights And we had relay modules and dimmer modules and dimmer modules were a lot Both both were very expensive back at the time and again in my house I got little zap outlets Which cost about five bucks each where these things were I want to say our cost before we would charge for insulation and to the Cellars I think our cost was like eight hundred dollars per module not counting the panel and running in the wires and all that stuff And that was for the relays and the dimmer ones were more expensive Um Anyway, I think it was no it wasn't when I was working there. I'm complete. I was working somewhere Might have been Yeah, it was there. It was there. I went back into the warehouse. So I worked for an electrical company We you know install lights and I did the programming when you press this button turn on these sets of lights Uh and dim them to this percentage over this amount of time. There's mostly data entry I wasn't really writing very much code or really any code. I used coding concepts You would do if then statements, but it was in drop downs I wasn't actually typing out the code although I could pull the the file it generated and see the code in there And I wish I knew more about programming back then but I used to mess with those files. That was fun anyway I go, uh I worked for this company and then there was the the sister company or the parent company Basically, there was this audio company. They did audio systems and houses And that company kind of bought the company I was working for and they were they were in one building So I go into the warehouse for this audio company and they have all this audio equipment And one of the boxes on the side It was for I know some audio device a receiver or something like that and it said it said on the side of the box Do not You know, this device is great for for audio output, but do not fry or saute this receiver or whatever it was And I looked at I go I go that is hilarious and whoever I was working with it goes Oh you this company you read through their owner's manual. It's just loaded full of stuff like that And I just love again when companies have sense of humor like this. What do you guys think? um, you know things like you know That this the usb drives great for transferring files, but uh, isn't good for increasing your mental telepathy capacity um If I ever owned a company of any type I would definitely do humorous stuff like that Obviously gotta be careful. You want to make sure that like this your statement is true Uh, you don't want to say something that could be uh portrayed as real and is not Obviously, obviously this is not going to increase my mental telepathy. It's a it's a true statement Uh going back to like uh geek squad and best buy it, you know back in the day back in the late 90s I worked for circuit city two different occasions one time in customer service one time in the computer department And uh, I was a horrible salesman uh for circuit city For those of you don't know what circuit city is. It's like a big radio shack No, what's funny is people used to get us mixed up with radio shack all time And they really were a very different radio shack was a very small place you go to get electronics You can buy uh, they would sell sell around a few of them. They would sell cell phones um and uh and Portable phones and radios circuit city had a department for that but we also, you know, we sold music We sold vacuum cleaners refrigerators circuit city did a little bit more. It was a best buy It was like a best buy best buy was our only real competition back then and there wasn't one here in town Now I live in Naples, Florida, uh, which is a very um Uh It's an expensive place to live. There's there's a lot of rich people here I kind of live way out in the outskirts of town Which I like because I got a big property for a lot less than if I was in town But we because of the the rich people around here That's one of the reasons we had the top one of the top stores top store in Florida One of the top stores in the u.s as far as sales for circuit city um and uh problem with that was uh a little bit after I started working there and we were the top store uh You know headquarters decided this is such a great store We're going to take each department manager and make them a manager at their own store Which in theory is a great idea But all that really ended up doing was turning our store into crap because we just started hiring managers off the street Who had no clue what they were doing uh to do certain to approve certain returns We would need a manager to swipe their card and type in their code And we had these managers who had no clue how our systems work because they were just hired off the street They didn't work their way up And so basically we would just call them over and they would you know go to swipe their card And then they look at the screen and they didn't know how the system works So half the time we just said swipe your card give me your code and I'll do this for you So the managers so our store kind of went to crap The the managers we had before were mostly very cool people They were great to work with which made it a great work environment Which is one of the things that made the store so great And again, they just separated them all out into different stores Which might be good for those other stores but turned our store into crap and again one of the main reasons The sales were so good is just because we lived in a good area for selling stuff And we didn't have competition the closest thing was a Best Buy up in Fort Myers, which was 45 minutes to an hour away So yeah, that's sir could say obviously they're all gone now, but it just it just went down hill after that And again theory, it's a good idea. This is a great store. The management was great Let's spread them all out But all it did was turn the store to crap and again sir can see isn't here anymore because I'm surprised Best Buy is around still I mean literally it's it's a place to go to test things out before you go buy it someplace cheaper Either online usually or even I much rather buy stuff at Walmart the return policy is better price is usually better But whatever So see a circuit city, you know, like I said, I worked there twice the second time I worked in sales first time I was in customer service second time in sales I only worked in sales for a couple of weeks. So the first week Working in sales is just training. So I'm back watching videos learning how to be a salesman Then they put me out on the floor and I was a horrible salesman and I worked completely off commission So I barely sold anything that first week. So when I got my paycheck what they did was They just brought me up to minimum wage, which sucked because that was one of two jobs at the time Another job I had was was down in the same shopping center working at g and c general nutrition center where I made nine bucks an hour Plus commission, uh, and I was averaging with the commission, you know, like 11 bucks an hour This is 20 years ago and I'm 18 19 years old. So, you know, 11 12 bucks an hour is pretty good And when I worked at g and c again, I was making nine dollars an hour I sell a 20 dollar bottle of vitamin vitamins I would make two dollars commission and usually it was buy one get one half price Uh And so you usually sold two so I would sell, you know, two bottles of vitamins I'd make four dollars on top of my nine dollars. Well, circuit city wasn't like that Circuit city was commission only and I could sell a two or three hundred dollar computer monitor And I would make a buck fifty, which was horrible. So that first week I didn't I didn't make it to a part and they had to pay me at least minimum wage Which was like I don't know 575 or something at the time. Well the next week I sold a little bit more I did a little bit better So I should have been a little bit above minimum wage Well, because I was below minimum wage the the paycheck before they took the difference out of this So I made minimum wage the second week. I was like, you know what? Goodbye Uh, but one of the reasons I I would consider myself not a good salesman Is I I didn't really upsell people I would if I felt like they needed it But this back and most people were still on dial up dial up, you know High speed internet was kind of a new thing, you know cable internet dsl Most people didn't have it But I would have these old people again I live in Naples where not only is there a large rich community.  They just took a while to download and I'd be like No, I really do not recommend buying a whole new computer because it's not going to make it any faster because your problem If everything's running fine, except for when you're downloading your email Upgrading your computer is not going to help because it's because you're using dial up and uh, and I felt like, you know, I was being honest also Uh digital cameras are relatively new. A lot of digital cameras were only vga But then the one, you know, the higher ones were 1.2 1.5 megapixels and uh, you know, I would Show people I had different cameras. I printed up using a printer Uh, a very nice hp printer at the time and showing the people the difference and it's like, okay So if I take a picture of someone's face with vga resolution or take the same picture with a 1.2 megapixels, you're not going to see much of difference now If you're taking pictures of people like a group of people that that one megapixel camera would make a bigger Difference in seeing the detail of people's faces, but a close-up shot like this, you know It's not going to make difference. I you know, I try to explain that to people and I talked about how the printer is really important back then You know, I love the hp printer. I have and I would always upsell that and that was that was That printer was probably like three four hundred bucks for for this hp printer back then and um I loved it. I loved it, you know Personally, I don't print photos anymore. It's cheaper just to get them printed somewhere like sam's club or something like that You don't have to worry about it messing up halfway through I mean, I didn't check the prices of of printer or Photo paper in years My price still have some in a Georgia's because I don't use it. I don't know. Do you guys do you guys print your own photos? I don't even keep up to date on technology on that. I mean back in the day So I had the inkjet printer printing photos problem with that is if it got wet at all The ink would run if you try to put it behind glass It would kind of stick to the glass you guys know what I'm talking about You print up an inkjet printer on photo paper You put it in a frame behind glass and the the ink would kind of stick to it So it looked if it you know places it would stick another it just didn't look right But at the time they started coming out with printers that would print a clear coat Over the images after printing some printers would do that and then they would have ones that would also Actually develop. I think it was sony had one where it would actually have chemical paper and like develop a photo on there I don't know what the technology is now. I mean Do do ink jets do is it normal for them to do coatings now? I don't I don't even know. I don't print photos Uh, I think it's just you know, most people just get them printed right if you're going to get it printed I mean at sam's club. It's probably under a dollar for an eight by ten Where at least back in the day a decent photo paper was over a dollar a sheet Plus the cost of ink which is expensive people complain about gas prices I mean think about how expensive you you spend, you know, I don't know 20 to 30 dollars easy on a little ink cartridge this big um So yeah printing so much better doesn't this isn't going to fade as much as the inkjet ones So anyway, I was talking the past working at circuit C was was awesome at least at first Um, but you know it got old after a while Uh, but yeah, so so yeah, I only worked a couple of weeks in as a salesperson Uh there and then I just said, you know what forget it and I was still working over at G and C Again making $11 or $12 an hour, which may not sound like that much in our days Since people are pushing for like minimum wage of $15 an hour Uh, I I don't even know minimum wage is what seven something an hour now Uh, so it's two dollars more so than it was back then But uh, yeah at 19 and I was only I was only working oh and then You know shortly after that I was still working at G and C Uh When I stopped working at G and C the next thing I did was was photography I used to do real estate photography around town. That was an awesome gig. Um I would charge 25 a job and you get five shots if the house was Over a million dollars You would get 10 shots and it would cost $50 if it was a certain distance from where I live I charge an extra $10 and there were some realtors like I remember this one husband and wife team they had There was this big high-rise condo where every single one of those condos was over a million dollars It was at the outskirts of town and they would call me up and I'd go do two or three of them at a time And I'd be done an hour. I just made 150 bucks easy Um, which was awesome and it was just digital I just dropped the discs off at the realtor office and they upload to their website and stuff um Then I eventually came to an end when at the same time back then they had the virtual tours Which were similar to like the sphere photos you do with google now and just the guys would go there They would have a wide angle camera and they would take all these shots put together and you go online They would have a little flash interface that you could look around the rooms And those people were already going out of the house is doing this like hey for ten dollars more We'll take your photos for you. I'm like, well, I'm not going to go out to people's houses for 10 bucks a pop You know, it's not worth my time. So that that was short lived. I did that for maybe a year And then and then I also made extra money at that time going working for the realtor Realtor office where after I would drop off the photos I'd actually come in and organize them in their database for them Which was something else I did And that was interesting because they had a printer there and it was big, you know professional grade printer and a computer when it was hp and you know, it would It was uh, it took toner, you know, it wasn't it wasn't inkjet. What do you call it when it takes toner? It's A laser jet laser jet. Yeah um, man, it would print photo it would print those forms fast and You know with photos little flyers and stuff and you know, it wasn't as good a quality as inkjet But it was pretty good and it you know could print I don't know 50 or 60 of them. It was like one a second something like that But I was told that the printer the copier itself was 20 or 30 thousand dollars And then you needed the hp computer to go with it, which was another 20 thousand dollars So we're looking at 40 50 thousand dollars worth of printing material and that thing broke every week I'd say every week to every other week. There was somebody in there, you know a technician fixing it I mean it got good use that thing was constantly printing Um, but I hate printers.  I love computers. I hate printers I mean, there are times where you need physical copy stuff But if I can keep it digital that is awesome and if I need to print photos I much rather have someplace to print it and not have to worry about paper jams things aligning properly You know with the cost at ink Not using your printer for a while and the and the heads getting clogged up anyway so let's go inside and uh Look at something else. So I'm going along. What do we I don't even know what time it is. It's been what four or five hours now. I've been streaming here Okay Let's see
