I spent two frustrating hours earlier today working on a shower diverter valve. Got it fixed. And, I have to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You have a relaxing voice and demeanor. Thank you for calming my frayed nerves, Scott.❤

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks so much

[@MountainGirlwIPA]

I didn't do anything as productive as you but I had to chime in bc I was thinking the exact same thing about his calming voice. He has such a genuine perspective. Last time I remember thinking like that was probably kindergarten ( that's actually a compliment. ) ❤ e​@@StaticCamperVan

You’re the man. I could sit and watch your videos for hours. I really thank you for your time.

Thank you

You excel at describing the minutia of van life while giving us a tour of beautiful locals and tutelage in gourmet nuances, conveying a peaceful philosophical slant on life. Respect!

Thank you Denise

Thanks so much for this video! I can’t drink coffee because of health issues, but tea and Jesus is all I need.

[@olwenrussell7840]

I feel.so at peace when watching your videos Thank you for that Your day was beautiful and you got your rain to help you sleep Olwen in California 😊

[@sjayne27]

I wish I could take a nice walk in nature like that! Since I can’t right now, thanks for taking me along. 👍

[@PopsSinging]

I like your videos they are so relaxing, as a Florida native I generally hear nothing but negative things about the West Coast states (Usually political rants), it is nice that you don't go that route.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks, the west coast is a wonderful place

[@TheNotMeTube]

As a west coast native, we too have the political rants, but that doesn’t take away from most of it just being so beautiful.

[@jon8062]

As a Coastal California native who now lives abroad , I can say I don't understand the negativity AT all. I'm constantly traveling and the Pacific coast from Seattle to San Diego is still the most beautiful and diverse topography I've ever seen. And the the people are pretty chill as well 😁 It always warms my heart to go back to the west coast. Nothing like it anywhere. Safe travels Scott

[@valerieirvin249]

The NW is probably some of the most beautiful country in the states. That's an entirely different subject from " the politics" Yet I'd consider a more realistic viewpoint if you're traveling there as costs are much higher incl. taxes

[@marianfrances4959]

"...a little heavy-handed with the Yellow Bird..." 😂 👍🇨🇦😎☕🍪🍪🍪

[@Bernimv]

When it tastes good and doesn't hide the savor in the food, Definitivamente 👍🏼

[@stupidYoutube]

I make my pizza similar to how people make a decent french baguette. Water, white flour, whole grain flour, seeds/grains/oats/whatever I have, and salt. Plus yeast mix. My actual recipe: 225g water 150G whole grains 200G White flour 10G kosher salt Proof yeast for 20 minutes 35G water 10G Instant Yeast Rise, mix, and strengthen like a french Baguette. Or don't. It comes out fine either way. I'm sure you have enough experience to cut that down, adjust to your needs, and figure it out without explicit directions. Thanks for everything!

[@denisemorris8819]

Lovely video. Beautiful location Washington is such a lovely state, and the islands have spectacular scenery. I must try some yellow bird. Amazon has a nice selection. Love your presentation. Thank you.

Also, on your recommendation I ordered a 5 pack of flavors from Amazon if the Yellow Bird, and I love the Serrano! Jalapeño is ok, still have to try the other 3. ❤

[@Bernimv]

I enjoyed them and found only 4 in Texas and loved the taste in each one

Hi Scott, another very enjoyable vlog, very scenic, very low key, not at all hyper (which I love) and also informative. Thanks for bringing us along on all your travels. Dave

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks Dave

[@Joanneeisle8458]

Another great video Scott. It reminded me of how great it was to live in Des Moines and hike in all the wonderful parks through little forests with views to the sound and blue snow-capped mountains. Also the cute towns with bakeries and cafés. Well, here's wishing you well. It's great to see these wonderful places again.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Ah, yes. Des Moines has some amazing views too. Thanks Joanne

[@LilyGazou]

Crime has increased. Sad to say.

[@simonagree4070]

Hey, it's my town, Bainbridge Island! You must have a bit of lead time between recording these and posting them, because we just went through a longish stretch of 80-90 degree weather with no rain at all, and hardly any clouds. Now it's cooling down and clouding up again. It is a pretty good place to live, but yeah, very spotty cell service unless you're in downtown City of Bainbridge Island, which you didn't go to in this vid. Sorry about the graffiti, but that might be the only spot on the island where you will see it, except for the traditional high school senior asphalt tagging at graduation time. BI was also the location of a shortwave radio listening post during WW II, for monitoring Japanese radio, and the first place where Japanese-American citizens were evacuated from after Pearl Harbor. There were also notorious spots where bootleg liquor was smuggled in from Canada during prohibition. Nowadays, it's an attractive, handy bedroom community for the upper middle class and wealthy. There are still some small farms here, but not like it used to be -- still got some forrests, though. And more of those damn roundabouts, ecch. Oh, and you need to save for a month to eat out once.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks for the info. It’s a great area. Last trip was mostly about getting a coffee at Pegasus. This trip was a little more enjoyable for me.

[@heatherk5825]

As a born and raised Washingtonian I enjoyed your video so much, and actually learned a lot of cities I don’t know much about.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks Heather

[@josieb3238]

98 in Portland. I’m in the shade at Oaks Park with my van.

[@thiszden]

Peaceful and relaxing vids, Scott. Safe travels.

[@lelerussell3623]

Thanks for the history lesson today Scott. As a result I read more about the area and read that Fort Ward was a top-secret military listening post during WWII and had a code name “Station S”. Apparently the area was perfect for listening to Japanese Morse code communications which soldiers would translate and they picked up important messages just prior to the Pearl Harbour attack. Very interesting history there! The article said that the writer David Kahn included this in one of his books about Code Breakers. Thanks for coffee and a history lesson today Scott😊.

[@journeybrook9357]

Yet cell service wasn't great he said at start of hike 🤔 Technology.

[@WilliamKapes]

haha, I didnt realize you had the Olympia Coffee Roasters sticker in your kitchen... maybe I didnt notice it before. I picked one up for my wife on Saturday.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Haha, I bought that silly sticker last year

[@gary-rr7jp]

Enjoyed your tour of the area. Looks like some place I might like to go. Loved the 3 mice and cat fountain! The batteries were interesting and would intrigue me as well. Beautiful trails and forest, along with the beachfront spot. You seem like a chill guy to watch, so I think I'll subscribe if you don't mind. Have a good one!✌

When the parking sign says “4 hours, 8-6” you can actually park from 2 pm until noon the next day. The last four hours and the first four hours of the parking limit. After six you can park overnight. I used to do it on Bainbridge all the time when I worked in Seattle.

Those wonderful short rainfalls were sun showers. Whenever I get caught in one, a song from the past enters my mind; Sun Shower by Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band. Best days ever! I hope you had cookies and coffee at the end of the day. Those sun showers make cookies and coffee taste even better, in my opinion.🍪🍪☕️

That’s a new song to me. Yes, I enjoyed all the cookies as I have no will power with those TJ’s cookies

i store recipes as an email draft so they're saved in the cloud. Also any list. Grocery list, fav dishes to keep in rotation, to do list, garden planting journal etc. If your hands are filthy in the garden, kitchen, or garage you can find a clean knuckle to hit the mic button and dictate what you want. Of course its not perfect. When planting beets, every single time it spells them beats. Which is something that bothers me WAY more than it should.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Ah. Well you must not have the tortured experience with emails that I have.
