MY RV INTERIOR TOUR AND COOKING BREAKFAST!

[@CampervanKevin]

Sometimes a story cannot be told in 7 to 10 minutes. I hope you enjoy. CVK

[@bstreetjr]

You were thinking of Justin Wilson. The Louisiana chef most likely. Either him or John Folse.

[@MattExzy]

No worries, love a good story from you Kevin :) Oh yeah, I like those pickled jalapenos as well. Different brand here in Australia, but the principle is the same, I have them with almost everything. I like the onion idea with them as well.

[@sunnypumkin]

Campervan Kevin Def Justin Wilson! I am Louisiana born and raised and watched him for years! that's some real Cajun Cooking! New Orleans Is a more Creole type of food. Happy to hear you mention him!

[@DarlnDar]

Can you turn your tubs upside down temporarily to do the extra counter space until you find a cover? You could also make a really nice wood one with very minimal $$ Cedar would be nice with the fragrance it puts out too!! :)

[@passin.timeintx8571]

My heart beats faster when you even hint at selling your rig. Please put me on your list?! 😃👍

[@suedavis681]

No need to answer. I just want you to know how much I enjoy watching you and the Woof Pack. I just purchased a 2003 Road Trek and plan on hitting the road with my rescue dog named Buckwheat. We probably will not be full timing but I do hope to make it to RTR in 2018 and to meet you and others I follow on YT. Before my husband died we spent much time in our 5th wheel and I realized that this was not something I was ready to stop doing. I am making a "new normal" for me and Buckwheat and following you and others has convinced me that even at 73 years in age there is a place for me with people who love RV'ing life as much as my husband and I did. I know that I will find many new friends along this journey. Thank you for sharing your RV life with us.

[@CampervanKevin]

YOU GO MS SUE!!! You may find you are rather young in the crowd when you head West :). Who knows how much time we have? Keep on living !!!

[@lizzy2shoes557]

Sue Davis Follow your 💓 heart...You will find many kindred spirits on the road...Blessings.

[@kayguerrero8256]

Sue Davis: Glad to hear of your plans. I am also female alone @ 72yrs of age. Like you I watch the YT videos on travel, but bc of my 93 yr old father with dementia​, I feel I must stay nearby as I am the only one he has to see to him.Very grateful I can be near him, but sometimes wish I could travel a bit.Enjoy your travels & stay safe.God bless.

[@christysittig1200]

kay guerrero - May God bless you Kay for being there for your Dad. My Dad has been gone now 13years and I miss him so much. He had Alzheimers and it was so sad to see my "rock" of a father become a baby. It is harder for females on the road alone--esp. seniors. I know everyone says differently, but we know our limitations!

[@kayguerrero8256]

Sue Davis--you have a good time.Life is short so have fun

[@papadalethebandit5619]

CVK-- Go to the home improvement store and get a hard wood cutting board that will cover both sinks at the same time. Drill holes and put rubber feet on the bottom just wide enough to straddle the sinks but close enough for an acceptable fit. It works well on my camper sink. --Papa Dale

[@CampervanKevin]

good idea

[@HappybyChoice]

American Trekker Or, any hard wood board will do. Just rub it with oil many times to waterproof it.

[@xssellx701]

You could also attach the cutting board with a hinge on the right side. Then you could flip it up to use the sink. That way you don't have to worry about it sliding off or keeping up with it.

[@annbrockman3086]

American Trekker this is what I was going to suggest too. As far as your skillet....you should never use soap on it, so you are doing it right!

[@itssewxtra1713]

That's what I was thinking and I don't know anything. I just kind of thought of it from other videos I think=)

[@tomj528]

Don't worry about cut onions...they actually have sulfur compounds that are anti-bacterial, so quite the opposite. As a dedicated from scratch home cook I regularly finely dice/slice and store onions for several days and they're perfectly fine. I do like to put some thinly sliced onions in the pickle jar/brine to make pickled onions for sandwiches and other goodies (yum!) which is basically the same as what you're doing with the peppers. Cheers!

[@annsimmons6254]

I know this is an old video but I'm just seeing it. Love, love, love your videos Kevin. Breakfast looks yummy.... now I'm hungry. lol Enjoy and God bless!!!

[@debracomer6864]

Hang a curtain in the doorway to the bathroom. Provides privacy and keeps you from seeing the commode while in the kitchen. Spring tension rod and flat twin sized sheet. Slip rod through the open edge of sheet and slide rod through. No sewing request and you can get whatever color and design you like. 😀

[@dawnglessner7432]

I'd watch 20 minute videos from you. You're very personable and very friendly! Love that southern charm!

[@GiggleFishy]

Well, thank you Kevin, I feel a bit goofy, but you just taught me how to wrap a burrito properly. I've been doing it wrong for so long, and all my food ends up dropping out the back end. Now I know how. (Insert embarrassed emoji here). I enjoyed all 27 minutes. :)

[@robertfoley1523]

Kevin, the variety in your videos keeps things interesting, we enjoy your good nature and the kindness you show to people and animals. I use to watch the Cajun cook, Justin Wilson, "I Gaur-Ron-Tee" his stories were great. Unfortunately he passed away in 2001. So keep being yourself and watch your channel grow. Thanks.

[@gregb83489]

I'm glad that your channel is doing so well. You put out great content and are obviously the kind of person that youtube (and the world in general) needs more of.

[@robertejackz25]

Breakfast looks great! Good idea on the onions too!! Glad you made it to base camp safely and all was good. Love the longer vids. Have a great day!

[@acday49]

Justin Wilson! What a fun chef he was!! Thanks for the memory, and for sharing your journey!

[@triciamacdonald9397]

I love watching your videos. I am glad to hear your cutting out the garbage in comments. There are so many hate filled people out there and it makes me truly so sad that anyone could gain pleasure out of trying to hurt others and trying to spread hatred. I pray for those people because they are obviously very unhappy. I know reading all the comments and replying must get overwhelming. I don't expect any reply and wouldn't ever be offended. I would rather your time be spent making the videos and what all it takes editing them and uploading them bc I enjoy watching them. I think most of us subscribers feel this way. Or most at least understand how overwhelming it must be to go through all the comments. Not to mention when the comments are sooo long like this one. Lol. Sorry. :)

[@CampervanKevin]

Thanks you Ms Tricia for the well written comment. I enjoyed reading it :) CVK

[@robsmith1373]

Yes take out the trash, who needs it. there is enough misery in this world, we don't need more. Enjoy your vlogs a lot.

[@cathywright6665]

TRICIA Macdonald Exactly, Tricia. Thank you.

[@timmartin4952]

Enjoy your video and want to try some of your cooking ideas. Wonder if you would try a curtain on a tension rod to replace your bathroom door? But you may not need it. Just a thought. Take care, Tim

[@jmadsen6118]

Fabulous video with the onion and cast iron tips, a bit of the babies, and a review of the solar light. Interesting all the way through...no worries on the length! Out here in Oregon, organic wraps and tortillas are plentiful and affordable. Healthy eating makes life more enjoyable. Keep up the good work, sir!

[@ktsnider387]

I sure enjoy your videos. I started watching when you helped out Eric. That was so nice helping out a fellow traveler in need. You are a really nice guy. Stay cool Kevin.

[@CampervanKevin]

You have been around awhile. Thanks for the kind words.

[@shauna5466]

Wish I had seen the video where you helped Eric I also found you through Eric

[@sunshinebay83]

Great to see you in the kitchen cooking . One handed you did fantastic.

[@virginiareid5336]

So happy you showed the small solor light. A friend on KZbin started up a homestead about a year ago. I sent a pair to him. At least I know now it was a good gift.

[@40belowful]

very cool light Kevin:) man I've been rolling my burritos all wrong:) thanks for showing me the right way. Proof you can teach a old dog new tricks:)

[@jeffs7139]

I love the way you mix up your content. Your right...."you never know what you'll see on the Camper Van Kevin show " keep'em coming !

[@CampervanKevin]

thanks Mr Jeff!

[@slmartin1957]

Hey Kevin! Get a cutting board the size of both your sinks! When not using, store long side up in the space between the back of the stove and t he wall. It can stay behind the lift up lid too while you are cooking if you need the sink. It can be a combo prep and countertop. Love your videos!

[@ejsvoyage6941]

I love watching you cook and I love your videos. Your very relaxing to listen to. And of course, the woof pack... too cute for words!

[@gregmilona2159]

Hey Kev watching you all the way from Australia,really enjoy these vids Love the dogs and your lifestyle,way to go. Maybe invest in a selfie stick or headband for the can so you can use 2 hands Keep up the good work and all the best to your wonderful family

[@walterr5244]

Justin Wilson, ya'll - glad his old shows are on youtube. Thanks Kevin for all the great adventures. Wandering Wally

[@lillianzybarra6405]

I enjoy watching your video on KZbin, I also appreciate your keeping nasty remarks off your channel. The woof pack has a beautiful world to enjoy with a special guardian. God Bless and thank you

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Hey there Kevin, thanks for letting us in on your cooking! You are a very nice person.

[@southbaycentralny]

Great video Kevin! Use a wooden cutting board to cover your sink. works great for us!

[@Moondancer5]

Thank you for your videos Kevin. I do love you and the Woof Pack. I truly enjoy riding along with you. Thank you.

[@stormgirl6977]

Didn't mind the long video! It was fun to watch you cook! Again, thank you for sharing your world with us! Sending love to you from Arizona!

[@connieslone3702]

I love your show! I want to get a BT Cruiser for myself when I retire in 3 years! Keep up the good work Kevin, you’re doing a great job! Thanks for sharing!

[@lisasmith2065]

Wow, I can't believe you took the time to answer. I feel so special 😊

[@ClassALiving]

Love the BT, you got it made in there! And thanks for the recipe, im obsessed with RV cooking videos idk why :)

[@ClassALiving]

Oh wow ive been rolling burritos the wrong way!!!

[@takubrenda593]

Great tip on storing leftover onion. Thank you! I eat a lot of onion too and have always wondered what was the best storage. That was a longer than usual video but very enjoyable!

[@CampervanKevin]

Hate that it was so long, but I found nowhere to edit it out.

[@galady8632]

Campervan Kevin ..... Speaking only for myself but when I find a channel I enjoy I prefer longer videos. More video = more enjoyment.

[@norasteel5353]

Good thinking about the onions. They do pick up bacteria. I read an article way back about people being afraid to leave their picnic potato salad out in the sun because they were afraid of the Mayo making them sick. Turns out it was the onions in the salad making them ill. there ya go. ; )

[@sharongypsydove8396]

all false... my grandmother my mother and myself have always left onions out and never been sick for them as a matter of fact my grandfather used to cut an onion in half and eat a half onion every single day most of his life it keep illness away kind of like an apple a day thing and I can only remember twice in my entire life that my grandfather was ever sick www.theepochtimes.com/n3/2002018-are-leftover-onions-poisonous/

[@louvin5671]

I agree, the onion thing is not true. We cut and use what we can and put the rest in the fridge. The next time we need some onion we use it. It has NEVER made us sick. I have done this all of my life.

[@ibebebebabe346]

I would check on amazon for wooden chop blocks the size of your sink. Then it can be used as counter space and removed when the sink is needed. Or you could custom cut one. Just an idea for your counter space problem.

[@nana23boyz3]

polypropylene or bamboo are lighter than wood. I use 2, 1 over each sink. If I need water on 1 side I still have cutting surface on the other.

[@pex2268]

i love my 2014 coachmen freelander 19cb,i can park everywhere making boondocking really easy,i removed the big counter and shortened the front dinette making it more spacious and removed the bathroom sink and put a bigger shower,never been happier.

[@1bbartlett]

CVK, thanks again for the info on the ever Brite lite! I had just went back and looked at the older video and was looking up the light when your new video posted. Perfect timing! Thanks again Friend.

[@judyp5141]

We bought a brand new 2016 Thor Vegas last season. We were told the bathroom sink goes to the black tank because extra water is needed in there for solids to dissolve. We were getting 2/3 full even after a dump. Turns out it was our sensors and we fixed that by putting alot of dishwasher detergent in there and and alot of water and drove. Now we have been using "Happy Camper" in the black tank, and making sure we use the bathroom sink, and haven't had any probs.

[@dixiewishbone5582]

I enjoyed hearing the coyotes singing while you were doing the night time show of your solar lights. . . enjoyed the video!! Phil South Carolina

[@Gayle.M]

My mom got a new c/i skillet w/lid when she moved out of her parents house. Sixty-five years latter she still uses it. As you said it's a treasure.

[@debracomer6864]

Loving the dream, I'm happy for you and all who are living their dream. Nice video. You and the pack be safe and enjoy your travels.

[@lesolson2380]

I use a large but thin plasitc cutting board to cover my sinks and use the space for preps and such. Good luck and thanks for sharing your place!

[@MayhemRv]

My Safari Trek is plumbed the same way, bathroom sink draining into the black tank. I like it because the grey always fills much sooner and this way some grey is diverted to the black which usually doesn't have enough liquids help it flush out when draining.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Loving your cooking...Great video...Thank you for your sharing of your life, Kevin..

[@RainStrom_61]

We use a cutting board. Covers great. Also when using the sink we can put on the stove (when cool) and have that as a cover to put dishes on.

[@tomhertz1614]

I have a motion sensor multi color light for my pooper and love it .

[@cherylhaughton7682]

Just discovered you Campervan Kevin. You're my all time favorite so far. Love your fur babies. ❤🐾🐾🐾 And, thank you for fantastic and interesting videos!

[@CampervanKevin]

Welcome to the CVK family :)

[@cathywright6665]

Kevin, I have no idea how you stay on top of your comment, but I commend you for trying. I really enjoyed seeing the inside of your trailer, and discovering how much you enjoy spicy foods!

[@kimberlymayo9951]

Wooden or bamboo cutting boards​ for top of the sink, can also open a drawer and put the cutting board on top of it for work space, could buy a TV table (snack table) and use that to work on then fold to put away. It won't block your drawers plus could use it outside as well for portable ease. Seat covers can be king size blankets that you tuck in plus pull the back together and cinch with black binder clips (normally for papers). Just some thoughts....

[@vaneset2592]

Breakfast looked yummy. Video came up great on you're samsung. Awesome all round Campervan Kevin....Thank you for Sharing.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

Love the woof pack even just a short view! Thank you for the informative video!

[@tadghb]

Glad you are trying Block the trash. Love the lifestyle. working towards it myself and you have a great setup!

[@davidskelding6420]

Kevin, about your counter space. I had the same problem . I went to Walmart and bought 2 wood TV stands. The kind that you eat off of with legs. I removed all of the legs. Then I used the small leg parts to form a wedge on the bottom of the wood table to just fit inside the sink. Can be removed when you want to use your sink. Worked great. David

[@CampervanKevin]

hmmmm , thanks!

[@marlaharmon]

You can buy an extra large cutting board or pastry board that should fit great over the sink. You can get them at a restaurant supply and possibly at Sam's Club.

[@TheDavejane]

as usual, a great video. the Samsung is doing a great job. I follow another Vloger who also now uses a Samsung with great results.

[@pavofan59]

Good idea with the onions Kevin. I also love to have a pickled clove of garlic in the morning too.

[@prizantsproducts4u]

OMG!!! Woooo Weeeee! That cookin' is makin' my mouth water!! Thanks for sharing. I suffer from morning hair too! LOL!! God bless you!

[@janalee524]

I love cast iron and use mine all of the time!! An onion in a fridge doesn't make it poisonous however the brine will keep it fresh and quite tasty! Justin Wilson is who you are talking abou. I loved him too . He passed in 2001. He's on KZbin and still hilarious to this day!! A great story teller ! You are a sweetheart Kevin - my favorite you tuber!! Such a southern gentleman ...

[@lustraveller717]

Love to cook with my cast iron skillet! Corn bread is soo good when it's baked in it. I had forgotten about Justin Wilson. My husband used to watch him all the time. Thanks for reminding me of him. Good idea about screening your comments.

[@Loquetus]

God I love your post's. I would love to watch 20 min vids of yours everyday! Keep up the great work Kevin. Your much loved among your following friends. Loquetus

[@scotterstny]

Really enjoyed this video; liked the interior of the BT Cruiser......laughed out loud over the "teeth cam"....thanks Kevin!

[@dawnglessner7432]

I'm envious of your tiny house. It's perfect! Love those babies!!

[@darylphipps5262]

Mr.CVKevin you are one of thee more talented builder/construction types I could see you making one whiz bang (or two) sink covers in very short order! idk...just my impression of you thru your channel...but I think "you can dew-it"! I got faith in ya young man!

[@josieharrison839]

Iam happy to finally see your rig and thanks for editing out those trashy posts. I appreciate it. Yum I’m gonna try one of those burritos.

[@monarawles5832]

great light, and yeah, I laughed at the egg-breaking, but only after you did. Fun video!

[@SuperEvilC]

I'm definitely going to try out your onion ways... and probably will give your breakfast burritos recipe a go too.

[@minvonuk]

That breakfast looks awesome!! Thanks for sharing

[@bobbiestafford1088]

Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy ur videos. Never know what you're going to see. Thanks for being a friend.

[@CampervanKevin]

no thank u!

[@algray2604]

your getting better all the time I'm with you and I like it.

[@azcactusflower1]

For sink, use a large cutting board with a small frame glued on the bottom that fits "on top" of the sinks.

[@judemathieu3717]

Feel like I just had breakfast w a friend! God bless, Kevin.

[@glassary]

Hey Kev great video. Nice seeing what your doing on the inside of your rv. Like most I'm highly recommending looking into either 1 large or 2 smaller hardwood cutting boards to cover your sinks. You can tweak them to not slide around and they will add a lot of space to your operation. Btw breakfast looked yummy and delish.

[@lukeFugate]

As for not having to hold the phone while filming, you can get a selfie stick. Take the phone holder off the telescoping pole and it will screw right onto a standard tripod. Most of them also come with a handy little Bluetooth remote. I use my Samsung phone on a tripod very often in my videos. I didn't think your video was too long, I was entertained the whole time. Keep them coming!

[@debralpateart8862]

Kevin, I have been refrigerating and wrapping onions in plastic wrap or zip lock bags for MANY years and never had it cause any illness. If they get more than a week or two old I do toss them. I love onions so they usually get used before then. Breakfast looks great!

[@ndlz1]

I loved your video! First time I've seen you, though I've heard Nomadic Fanatic mention you've helped him many times. I am now on your journey with you Mr. Kevin. Thank you for making my dream of RV living a little closer through your videos.

[@CampervanKevin]

c'mon lets go!

[@TheBioExplorer]

My late husband and I also loved watching Justin Wilson. My husband's family is Cajun from Louisiana so I learned a few tricks.

[@CampervanKevin]

i liked him lots

[@garyfairs4497]

Keven you can make your own cover for over the sink. You can make one big one that goes over both sinks or two, one for each side. Cut a piece of 3/4 ply wood the size you want then on the under side install those rubber or plastic feet that has the screws recess and install them in all 4 corners so that the board does not slide around. Then of course put a good finish on the wood. I like clear.

[@Joey951100]

Love the new quality Kevin! Your production quality has improved vastly in the past few years I've been watching. Loving the regular content as well.

[@CampervanKevin]

Started at the very bottom Mr Joseph. I knew nothing and its been tough learning.

[@galady8632]

Campervan Kevin ... I admire your determination to keep your channel and comments upbeat, positive and welcoming. I view KZbin channels as a representation of the creator. With that mind-set some people should be ashamed of themselves. On the other hand Kevin can stand tall and proud. And there's no need to be concerned re replying to all comments. I have always felt anyone that anyone that posts with expectations of a comment from the creator to have very unrealistic expectations. My posts are merely feedback. No response expected and certainly not necessary to maintain loyalty. Being an adult (and certainly older than CVK!), I realistically know life is short - spend your time enjoying your life. Your true fans will be here, anxiously ready for your next viseos.

[@CampervanKevin]

Thanks Ms Faye. There was a time I tried to answer every comment. I felt it rude not to. Now some of my vids can have over 500 comments in one day. It has become near impossible. Thank you for your understanding. I do still read every comment however as I have to filter the trash out. Once the trash sees that nobody sees their rude and vulgar comments most give up. Thank you for watching us and your kind comment. CVK

[@mynameisnotbubby]

Hi Kevin, been watching for a few months. Really like your channel. Thank you for sharing you life with us! Keep em coming! :-)

[@telliehack2590]

Thanks for sharing not an easy thing to do sharing personal stuff like that. Anyway we also like prior comments found cutting board to be the best. I enjoyed your one handed cooking 😅and of course the babies!

[@WindersRanger]

Chef Justin Wilson, i enjoyed watching him too. "A day without wine is a day without sunshine"... lol

[@markhope6974]

Measure your sink size, go online and check out cuttingboards. That solves counter and prep space and the cutting board is easy to store. That's what we did.

[@janicehart5397]

Looks like a hearty breakfast! I love my cast iron pan, sears a great steak. Thanks for the camper tour.

[@3generations393]

Your awesome & I can hardly wait to meet you. Been watching your videos & I want to so badly get back on the road. May God bless you & thank you for all that you do

[@trilbyarnold3341]

look into sheep skin covers for your front seats. A cutting board , or go to a cabinet maker place for a scrap of formica top, have it cut to fit with some peg legs to keep it in place while traveling for sink covers. I use a tv tray set up in my very small aisle space ( I have a small van) for some extra space.

[@Class_C_Explorers]

Our 2016 Itasca Class C bathroom sink drains into the black water tank too. I bought our kitchen sink cover on Ebay after I measured the sink opening, it's made of King Starboard Polymer. You can also buy King Starboard in pieces on Ebay, it can be cut like wood with a jig saw or any saw. I bought some and made a folding sink counter extension for our bathroom. Bought the hinges on Amazon. Your breakfast looked great!

[@NomadicDane]

That was an interesting video my friend. I enjoyed it. It's funny to see the layout of your camper van is just like my travel trailer, with the kitchen and the bathroom in the back and the bed and sofa in the front. I think that is the best layout. Thank you my friend. Life is good.

[@dorisshanks7295]

Hi Kevin! This is the lady from Key West who met you at the Ehrenberg Laundramat. I am still on the road but moved over to New Mexico now. Measure your sink openings and you may find a ready made wood cutting board that will be a good fit or a little trim will do it. "Carolyn" shows her cutting board that just happened to fit her sink perfectly and slides from one side to the other. I made more counter space in my rig when my son-in-law redid my counter tops by going to a single but larger sink and hi-rise faucet. Your videos are getting even better lately and I really enjoy watching. Thank you.

[@rdsginia7499]

That was fun, especially watching you fold a burrito with one hand. :) I subscribed and am looking forward to more of your videos.

[@DASRAY]

Kevin I have picked up large serving trays, plastic or stainless, at thrift or yard sales that I use over the top of sinks and so forth, the cheap plastic ones I also use as cutting boards, dual duty! Steal ones I use under grills or over cook tops to extend surface area.You are a very talented one handed chef, sorry I just couldn't eat the hot stuff haha. I have also heard that about onions but never really researched it! no need to answer I know you are busy! Best of everything to you all! Always!

[@CampervanKevin]

good idea, I am looking at different options now. thanks for your comment

[@iamwhoiam4410]

Kevin, I made a wood cutting board to cover our sink so we would have more countertop.I had to make several more for friends rv's when they saw ours.

[@sybilyap7949]

Glad your channel reaches Singapore ! Had fun watching your video. Cant wait for the next one.....!

[@CampervanKevin]

Wow!

[@mmarti2x]

When people install new countertops the bit that's cut out for the sink is normally tossed away. If you go by a granite or marble place they probably will give you that piece that was cut out, they have no use for it. You could also get one of those thick white cutting boards at Walmart, just get a big one and that will cover your sink and you can chop on it plus it would make a good portable writing surface. I love your puppies.

[@87xfute]

Hi Kevin I've got to say what a fantastic layout of your RV !! Just brilliant !! Seeya Rob

[@debbiedoud1723]

Glad to see you trying to find healthy food choices. I would love to have organic wraps, too.

[@billjohnson69]

The bathroom sink in our Itasca drains to the black tank too so we stopped using it. We too removed our bathroom door and also the wall that separates it from the bedroom so now there is a ton of space in the bathroom!

[@catherinestewart9826]

Just wanted to say hi. Good job on the video I don't think it was to long.I am off to work. Be safe and may your journey never end.

[@cassiewhite8058]

thanks for sharing your life from living in a rv i find it fascinating and my dream to do it myself one day!

[@aljr357]

i love the longer video kevin . i hope you do more cooking videos also.

[@Myyt6908]

hey, you can get a large cutting board to fit over both sinks, then you have more counter space and some where to cut. have fun!

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

We store our cut onions in a glass jar as well. New onions we wrap individually in newspaper or those cheap paper bags. They store a really long time that way. Your new camera has a beautiful, clear picture.
