Love that gray shirt,and you’re right Scott, it’s getting harder to find affordable 100% cotton clothing as well as bed linens these days🙃

You’re right about that. It seems like Target is adding some cotton options lately.

[@ronpitsenbarger]

Change your trans filter & fluid. Your trans is may fail soon.

[@ericd1084]

@@StaticCamperVan I'm the opposite of you guys. I don't like 100% cotton shirts at all. I prefer full polyester or a blend. I find that they last longer, are more comfortable, and do not require ironing. 100% cotton shirts always come out wrinkly for me after I wash them. They also don't keep their shape well. Shrinking after washing or stretching out in the wrong areas, such as the collar.

[@Mightyluna]

Oh, I could almost "feel" the ocean breeze! One of the things I love about Humboldt County is that depending on what one is in the mood for, one can drive just a few miles and experience either the ocean or the forest. I've never tried Humboldt Bay coffee; I'm going to see if I can find/order online. 😊 Speaking of ordering online, you might be able to order that item online at Target's website and have it shipped to the Eureka store for pickup. I do this sometimes when my local Target is out of stock on an item that I want. Thanks for including us in your day, Scott! I hope you have a lovely week.

The important thing is that you are happy. I like that flannel shirt you purchased; it pairs well with your tee shirt.

Hey Scott, a Lil tip, I have trouble remembering to take meds and supplements too, so I've set an alarm set for every day on my phone to remind me. Usually I do remember, but the alarm is my backup for those occasions that I forget. ❤

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks I’m doing good

[@SarahTree]

Hey Scott I know you probably already know this but I'm going to say it anyway because it might help others. If you have to warm up your van to get it to shift you are low on transmission fluid AND you should visit a transmission shop. My man is a mechanic my brother is one and most of the family is mechanical. Also I have had another boyfriend who was a mechanic. So as you can imagine some of this stuff has rubbed off on me.😂 Just to be sure I asked Ron (my guy) about it and he said that I'm right. Don't want to sound like a Debbie Downer but your van needs to go to the Doctor. In the meantime keep his fluids up. Happy trails 😊

[@StaticCamperVan]

A lot of newer transmissions are sealed with no way of adding or checking the fluid. The manufacturer claims that the fluid is good for the life of the transmission. This van has one of those types of transmissions. The only way to change the fluid is to remove the transmission from the engine. In talking to different shops, it seems the honest mechanics don’t want to replace the fluid in my case because they feel the transmission will stop working. I’ve spoken to some dishonest mechanics that claim that they can simply drain and refill the fluid, which of course isn’t possible due to the design of the transmission.

[@SarahTree]

@@StaticCamperVan from what I know both are the right answer for some of the newer ones. However it really means that they designed it to just wear out and die. That totally sucks! Unfortunately sounds like you are going to have to replace it. It might be worth the expense rather than spending a lot more on a new van unless you are just totally done with this one. Best wishes for your continued adventures. We really enjoy your videos and your knowledge about coffee ☕️😃

[@StaticCamperVan]

@SarahTree the bigger issue is the engine. Chrysler still hasn’t come up for a fix to solve the engineering problem that is causing premature engine failure. It’s more likely that the engine will fail before the transmission

[@SarahTree]

@@StaticCamperVan oh wow! That is really bad. Sorry to hear that. The newest Chrysler van that I have ever owned was a 1996. Ron says that anything newer than a 2012 in any vehicle out there are not something he wants to work on or own. My cut off is around 2007😅 I'm sure that there are newer cars and trucks that are just fine out there that last more than 100,000 miles but other than Toyota/ Lexus $$$$ I don't know of any. I think that vehicles were lasting too long so the car makers decided to make them disposable so people had to buy them more often. Maybe find an older Toyota mini van. The old 4x4s from the 80s are still pretty great if you can find one. Or even some of the newer ones are good too since you don't do much off roading. We've loved every Toyota that we have ever had. Right now Ron uses an old 1987 Toyota pickup for his work truck. It has over 300,000 miles on it and it's still kicking. I'm sure you have something figured out. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in. Again good luck with everything 🙂

I do take prescriptions and find the pill container helps I also set the alarm on my phone too remind me to take them.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

My advice as a Ram Promaster City Wagon owner 34,000 mi. 2017: Start getting quotes on a new or rebuilt transmission and scoping out where to get it done and stay bc it will take two or more days if you want to keep the van. Got to find the right shop though. And yes, my transmission is also wonky and takes a bit of time. I think I may try to shift it gently thru its gears before driving for now on. B/c it's sticky at first use.

[@StaticCamperVan]

The transmission is not the biggest problem. The engine is

[@mondoenterprises6710]

@@StaticCamperVan That's a Double Whammy! I know you were talking that both need tending to. Ouch.

[@thegroovypatriot]

The plant is 'Ice Plant' and it's extremely invasive and exotic, meaning not native. Its all over NorCal and I believe was brought in to stabilize the dunes. We have a unique 'Moving Dune' ecology here, which you can see clearly at one of those coastal spots where you walk the trail and come out on top of a giant moving dune, and then it's quite a walk out to the water. But you can see how the dune takes over the forest about a foot a month. Those trees are very old, but dwarf in size. This ongoing dune migration is halted by the ice plants and disrupts the ecology.

I've never considered Eureka a dangerous town either, but then again, I've never been down to old town at night near the bars. And I can't do hot sauce, its hard on my inners. Besides, chilies are in the Nightshade family of plants which are known for making their own form of pesticide, so to speak. And that looks like an Ice Plant variety which grows in sandy soil along the coast and used for erosion control. It blooms in June and sometimes again in Oct...until the next one and travel on !!
