Maddie, great news you will prepare for the mechanic's matrix. You'll probably end up teaching mechanics for women after all your studying. Hi Ellie, welcome back. We missed you! Eliza, you now have double dog duty to keep up with those two. Happy trails and memories are in the making.
It is nice to see Ellie again! She has such a sweet smile. When I was watching your last video, I too wondered how the mechanic suddenly found a 2nd issue, after they fixed the first problem. I wondered too why this 2nd issue was not found right away. With the cracked radiator. That did not make sense. I am glad you are waiting on this 2nd repair. It did not make sense. Take care Maddie and Ellie. Have a great time travelling around. Eileen 😊❤🇨🇦🐞🐝🦋
New mom here. I would use the tumblers to drink more water daily. The tumbler can hold so much water and has multiple ways to drink which is convenient. My book recommendation is twilight. Can't go wrong with that series. :)
As for vehicle repairs, always get two estimates and you’ll see what’s really needed. Have you thought of the vacuum seal bags? They make some that don’t require a vacuum you just roll and the air comes out. I use it in my suitcase to make space and if my suitcase ever busts open in the rain… again. My clothes are dry. In your van it can save space, keep rodents from nesting, as well as keeping your clothes dust free. You can put a fabric sheet in there to keep it smelling fresh.
You can buy an independent thin booster air cooling fan from most auto supply shops and strap onto the front of your radiator and do a simple wiring job to power. Might have to open the hood to turn off and on depending on how you set it up. This will give you some ability to cool while you are waiting to do the bigger job.
Welcome Ellie. Glad that Maddie is going to have you with her. Always good as a woman to travel with someone else. Good decision Maddie about waiting on your coolong system. The mechanic i believe is taking advantage of you. The more you know mechanically the more you will save yourself money. Buy yourself a couple of cans of fix a flat. They come in handy. Enjoy your time together with your friend.
Ellie's back awesome for you and Eliza let the adventures begin again. So happy that you are going to repair the fan, I think you will do fine, with all the work that you put in building your van, this replacement is going to be no issue. The whole mouse thing is tiring for sure, but its what we have to deal with living nomadically in a vehicle. Wish you three well, and safe travels. Love the ending #JustBeKind couldn't agree more.
The water bottle is nice. Being disabled and mobility-impaired, I keep a couple 20 oz. bottles close at hand, this 40 oz. bottle will be good. Found it on Amazon, as I don't use Paypal. Price is good.
The invention of the "Tumbler" is a blessing! I love sweet hot black tea with a smidge of lemon in a tumbler to keep it warm on a chilly day. Sometimes very basic things in life are the most comforting. And I would also love a good book recommendation. I can't seem to get back into that reading nitch.
If your van starts to run hot. Crank up the heater in the cab. Run the fan full blast! Open your windows. The heater is just a small version of whats up front. It can help
I've learned a long time ago to never underestimate the powers of a determined woman. Anyway yall have a great wonderful weekend and the very best of life to you both 😊
I would get all my water in this adorable mug…I love the darker purple cup, great for a splash of color in what is going to be the dark season here really soon!! I am reading Killers of the Flower Moon…it is so raw!
This tumblers are so cute! I would definitely use it for a coffee in my mornings! I have two good books. The mountain is you by Brianna Weist! Also the Midnight Library is so good too.
Just received your prints this week - thanks. I would give the bottle to my daughter who teaches third grade and is always in need of hydration. Enjoy the journey!
Yay!! Ellie’s back! That’s so great! Have fun. Totally don’t blame you for wanting to do repairs yourself. Rooting for you! Also received my prints.. love them!! And the company was fine. ❤
Those bottles are super, but we already have a bunch here at home. Oh wow, how lovely seeing Ellie again! Her radiant smile brightens up the most miserable of days. I'm so happy and glad she's finding herself travelling. *big hugs* to her and you Maddie. Lovely video, I loved every minute of it. ~Wendi 🌻
EEEEK! Way to go! I'm only like 30 seconds in but im excited to see your resilient attitude knowing that you can fix the van, or at the very least try I bought my van from a junkyard and it didnt even turn on. With the help of my step dad as a teacher, I went from not knowing how to operate a power drill to fixing up everything under the hood to get the thing running perfectly. It was a lot more work than a normal van conversion, but i dont think I'd change a thing about it. Learning how to navigate the engine and properly maintain and understand it is something I'm very grateful for.
I would totally fill one of those tumblers up with an ice cold drink and go out in the lake on my kayak!! My two favorite books right now are "How to Quit like a Millionaire" and "Belgarath the Sorcerer". You've totally "got this" with your van repair. Girl Power!!!
Maybe a new rig is in your future. Open up to the possibility. After all, it's a required tool for your work. The His Dark Materials books are an epic trilogy of fantasy novels. Ciao...all the best from us
Stones from the River by Ursula Hegi. But I have hundreds of favourite books!! Ellie just made me think of that one. I would...drink my morning turmeric and ginger tea in it, followed by late morning coffee and then water for the afternoon. Yum!! Thank you.
If I won a tumbler I would use it every single day at work. I am a school bus driver. It’s colder than cold in the winter and hotter than hot in the summer. I also have an nv3500 that I hope to build out so it would be great for hydration on the go once I am able to travel in my van during school breaks.
My tumbler would be filled with hot chai this winter, on short drives to work and long drives to hikes in Lassen & Plumas Counties in Nor Cal, as well as drives to the rescue I volunteer at to pick up foster kitties. If you haven’t read NoViolet Bulawayo’s We Need New Names, I’d say be ready cry but also massively appreciate this heart wrenching immigration story
I would use it for work as I'm a community travelling nurse and 3 books I've read recently that I loved are: Outsider by Brett Popplewell, Nomadland and woodswoman by Anne Labastille :)
Mice stay away from Bounce dryer sheets - could cut up one as they are pretty potent and distribute the smaller cut pieces into drawers so the scent does not overwhelm your articles. Also pure peppermint oil [use the genuine essential oil I'm told] on cotton balls and place those as well - mice abhor it
Ditto the comment below - Yahoo Ellie is back...so looking forward to some adventures. See - all that "van problem" stuff was a prep for yours (and ours) special guest. Safe travels.... aloha Alexandra.
Hello. In reference to your fan, it may well be your thermostat switch. That is faulty. Research it on RUclips, it is an easy fix. replacement part from Auto parts shop or dealership .stay safe and well.
Have fun ladies! I would give the tumbler to my daughter who is a firefighter/EMT to carry with her through the day. I find 40oz to be perfect size for myself. Great recent read - Lessons in Chemistry. 🎉
Loved this weeks video! I would use the Tumbler on my long drive to work to keep my coffee warm this winter! I enjoyed Atomic Habit! It was a great book!
That does sound super r high for a radiator. I replaced one in my car when I broke down in the Allegheny mountains on my own for a fraction of the price. It was actually not too hard. This bottles are the perfect size and I'd use it for my adventure weekends here in the north east. A book that I always enjoy is an older one, but very much a page turner, "Swan Song" by Robert McCannon.
I'd bring that tumbler on hikes in the colder season, because I don't drink enough when the water gets too cold. If you like fantasy I recommend the stormlight archives by Brandon Sanderson. It's a series & starts with the way of kings. Liebe Grüsse an Elli & viel Spass in Washington, da will ich definitiv auch noch hin
Great video!!! The bottle bottle tumbler would be well used on my next trip!! Hopefully going west soon! As far as books go… I love old classics and “little women” always brings me back.
I would give the bottlebottle to my youngest daughter who is disabled now. She does well with bottles of cups with a top and a straw. I have many favorite books but I love The Notebook and Gift from the Sea. I know that you can replace that fan. You are amazing and can do so many things. I look forward to your next video with your friend from Germany that is visiting. :)
My husband and I are 30 minutes east of Seattle, out in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley area. We have 3 acres and a miniature horse, if you ever need a place to park and stay! Love your down to earth videos!
I've never left comments before to any RUclipsr that I've watched before, but I couldn't help myself this time. Your give a way happens to be my daughters favorite colors and she would be overjoyed having one of those bottlebottle's to drink from. Also, glad to see your van running okay again, I hope it last for a long while this time. Thanks Maddie for sharing your adventure's with us. Clyde, Long time follower. PS-Please give Eliza a hug from me.
@MaddieTaylor Kindness rules :) If I won a tumbler, I would take it on the road with my sweet dog Chester for some fun hikes and I recommend A Christmas Carol this time of year! Dickens = kindness and humanity always.
I like that the bottle bottle goes in the drink thing in my car my current water bottle does not fit and it’s a pain. A great book is All the light cannot see, and Someone else’s Shoes by Jojo Moyes.
Not sure if you'd ship to Canada, but I'm going to answer anyway. I love having lots of water to drink throughout the day. 40oz is a great size! As for book, I feel like you would like "West With Giraffes," by Lynda Rutledge. And a great duology is "Dance of Thieves", and "Vow of Thieves," by Mary E. Pearson. Plus they are really beautiful books!
I knew it was going to be Ellie! How fun!! I'm so glad that someone who means so much to you can be with you for so long! That's awesome! I"m also excited about another Bobble Bottle give away. So here goes. If I were to win one, I would use it in my classroom every day! We teachers get thirsty, and I would love to have something like that! And books - I have so many favorites, but one of the best is called A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson. Anything by Bill Bryson and you can't go wrong. That one is huge, it's long, but it's sooooooo fascinating!! I'm so excited for you! And also, the print I ordered last week - I got an update and they said it'll be ready for shipping soon!! I can't wait!! Have a great time on your journey with Ellie! You deserve it! ~Your French Teacher Friend, Andrea :)
I would use my tumbler to keep hydrated while teaching middle school reading and writing. I don’t drink enough water during the day. I’m going to share a few books I’ve loved over the past year or so: The Storyteller’s Death by Ann Davila Cardinal, The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali, When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and any and all books by Ruta Sepetys.
It’s great to see Ellie again! I’m glad she’ll be traveling with you for awhile. If you haven’t read the “Woodswoman, Living Alone in the Adirondack Wilderness” by Anne Labastille, I recommend it, There are additional books. They are old, and so you have to get a paperback copy. You may also want to take a look at “Root Beer Lady, The Story of Dorothy Multer” It’s another older book. A new book that is available on kindle is “Digging Deeper” by Amanda Hoenes. She and her dog paddled the Missouri River, and Mississippi River in 2021.
Your van is so cute. How nice of you to share it with friends. I'm going to read comments from your video to learn where I can learn more as well. My fear is being taken advamtage of at car repair shops. Thanks!
Hi Maddie, really liked your video....i have the same van as you , only difference is my van is an extra long wheelbase with a fixed double bed layout. In England we don't have engines as big as the USA, pleased really, the price for a gallon of diesel in UK is about £6.50p a gallon or about $9 in USA. My engine is the 2.2 litre injection, will run all day easily at 70 mph. I get on average about 35 miles to the gallon. Your van looks more homely than mine....must be the womans touch. I love your dog....she is so beautiful and the way she looks at you she certainly loves her mum. Stay safe. Best wishes. XX David from Leicestershire England UK.
So glad to see Elli is ok, I subscribed to her channel looking forward to vlogs about New Zealand but then she disappeared from You Tube. Enjoy you time together and safe journeys.
Those Bottle Bottles are so cool. If I had one, I'd use it for chai lattes and coffees. My favorite book...that's hard because I have so many of them. My favorite books are the Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Coben (my favorite author). Ellie is so sweet. You guys enjoy and stay safe! #BeKind
💕💕I would love to have a bottle bottle to put my matcha in every morning. What a great way to start my adventure to Quartzsite, AR to meet up and caravan with my friends.
I would love a Bottle Bottle to use on my hikes. Last year I started walking and could only make it a half mile. I am now up to 3.5 mile hikes. My favorite book is Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
Travel with friends is so fun! I’m older so I travel with husband. Still fun! LOL I would use the tumbler for plain ol’ water. I’m such a terrible water drinker…Book? American Dirt. Intense. Eye opening.
I would use the tumbler as a sip mug. Since I am disabled with MS, it would be helpful as my grip isn't very good. I tend to knock things off to the floor.
You two are going to have so much fun! Those tumblers are really cool. I’ve been working on increasing my hydration so one that size would really help. Have you read Auberge of the Flowering Hearth? It’s a travelogue of sorts about a small hotel in a high valley in France as the author visits over many years. The valley is where the monastery where Chartreuse is made, coincidentally. The descriptions, the menus and recipes, it’s all so lovely.
Well I learned something watching your video today that I never knew before….. I never knew that you can cut the end of the caulk tube with the caulk gun itself. I always used a box cutter or a good pair of scissors. U do learn something new every day. ✌🏼
You're right. Construction is WAY more difficult than 95% of auto repairs. Learning to perform vehicle repairs is by far the easiest way the average person can save thousands of dollars. You're 100% making the right decision. There's a youtube video for EVERYTHING you would need to fix. All you need is the right tools.
Definitely need that tumbler for water. Gotta keep hydrated! As for a book recommendation - I'm not sure our tastes are too well aligned but I'm a big fan of Evelyn Waugh, Scoop! in particular has some great moments.
Young Lady, YOU are the exact reason I am packing the tool boxes in my camper. I raised my kids on wrenching and self sufficiency. But you and many others here are correct stealerships and mechanic shops rip people off. Don't feel alone, my son has watched his incompetent male friends get ripped off when all they had to do was ask for assistance. As I rebuild this house foundation to money up for my own travels I am working on the farm owner's daughter's antique pickup when she can make it home. I don't do any work on vehicles, motorcycles included without the owner there to help and learn. Quite often the electric motor on fans isn't the problem. Thermostats, relays or wiring are the culprits so troubleshooting from beginning power to the motor will find the problems. A good inexpensive multimeter can save you thousands! I wish you Ladies good luck in your travels and cooler heads when space seems too small! You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
Maddie you got a lot accomplished before picking up Ellie and smart move on not letting that mechanic get ahold of your vehicle a second time. Watch a ton of videos and like you said you figured out how to add electric and water system you can do this. I would use the tumbler for either coffee or H2O, I'm just starting my nomadic lifestyle at the young age of 64 and will have a lot of driving to do to get from Kansas to Arizona then to Washington to visit my oldest daughter and family for Christmas then back to Arizona to stay till May. Traveling approximately 4,000 miles. The tumbler would be useful also for hiking with my dog and 2 cats. You two have a Blessed trip together and be safe. Looking forward to more videos, hope to start my own RUclips channel as well.
Fun video. Know you will get the fan motors done properly. Wonderful to see Elli again! Have fun. Always recommend the Isaac Asimov Robots and Foundation series. Start with book 1 of 11, “The Caves of Steel”. 4 books in robot series, 7 books in Foundation series. Apple TV original “Foundation” is very loosely based on these Asimov’s novels. Thanks for sharing another wonderful chapter in your chronicle. Looking forward to seeing you and Elli again soon.
I really enjoy all the work you put into these videos. But what has spurred me to hold you in highest regard is your knowledge of how to properly roll/store a hose. Respect.
"I don't know if it was the mouse I just caught, or the one from a couple of weeks ago.." MADDIE! If you havent been in that drawer in 2 weeks, it's time to move stuff into your storage area, below the bed. If you have room, use the plastic storage bins with a snap lid. Keeps critters out. Hmmm, dinner looks good, Ellie. If you guys come up around Everett, there is some really beautiful areas around the Granite Falls area. Be happy to show you!😊
Great video! I would use the Tumbler on my trip Across the USA living in my CRV. I can see it now waking up somewhere new everyday drinking my coffee in my Tumbler admiring the view, living life with no regrets!
Hey Maddie,glad you are doing well.Another awesome video.Your videos are very uplifting and beautiful .You are a wonderful artist as well.I go camping every year in New York State in the Adirodack Mountians,and you give me inspiration.Im glad your all doing well.Glad your friend is moving in .The bloopers at the end are very funny 😂 All the best guys !!
i would love this tumbler for work (im a school social worker) - i am always running around and the water at our school is questionable so i'd love to fill mine at home and not worry about it! one of my fav books is flowers for algernon - its beautiful but prepare to cry. love your videos
I love your videos I'm old enough to be your mother but you are still such an inspiration!!! One of my favorite books is an old book by Wally Lamb. It's called, "Shes come undone" I would get all of my water in if I had a bottle bottle 💜
So nice to see Ellie again! Eliza’s sweater is adorable and so is she. Good video, Maddie🥰 thanks!
Maddie, great news you will prepare for the mechanic's matrix. You'll probably end up teaching mechanics for women after all your studying. Hi Ellie, welcome back. We missed you! Eliza, you now have double dog duty to keep up with those two. Happy trails and memories are in the making.

How wonderful to see Elli and you traveling together again! And she's absolutely right. Kindness rules! Sending hugs to you, Elli and Eliza.
Nice to see Eli again! Have fun!
I would take my tumbler on walks with my dogs with intention. Fav book All the Light you cannot see by Doer. Happy days ladies ❤️❤️🐶
Happy to see u have Elllie with u .Safe travels ladies.

“October in the Earth” by Olivia Hawkins. I would make my coffee in that beautiful tumbler every day ☕️. Thank you Maddie.
You can buy an independent thin booster air cooling fan from most auto supply shops and strap onto the front of your radiator and do a simple wiring job to power. Might have to open the hood to turn off and on depending on how you set it up. This will give you some ability to cool while you are waiting to do the bigger job.
You two beautiful girls look like you could be sisters! ❤
Welcome Ellie. Glad that Maddie is going to have you with her. Always good as a woman to travel with someone else. Good decision Maddie about waiting on your coolong system. The mechanic i believe is taking advantage of you. The more you know mechanically the more you will save yourself money. Buy yourself a couple of cans of fix a flat. They come in handy. Enjoy your time together with your friend.
Ellie's back awesome for you and Eliza let the adventures begin again. So happy that you are going to repair the fan, I think you will do fine, with all the work that you put in building your van, this replacement is going to be no issue. The whole mouse thing is tiring for sure, but its what we have to deal with living nomadically in a vehicle. Wish you three well, and safe travels. Love the ending #JustBeKind couldn't agree more.

If your van starts to run hot.
Crank up the heater in the cab. Run the fan full blast!
Open your windows.
The heater is just a small version of whats up front.
It can help
I've learned a long time ago to never underestimate the powers of a determined woman. Anyway yall have a great wonderful weekend and the very best of life to you both 😊
It's nice to see her back
I would get all my water in this adorable mug…I love the darker purple cup, great for a splash of color in what is going to be the dark season here really soon!!
I am reading Killers of the Flower Moon…it is so raw!
I love Eliza's sweater!!! She looks so cute in it. I find caulking oddly satisfying.
Herzlich willkommen Ellie! It will be fun to watch your and Maddie's adventures.😊
This tumblers are so cute! I would definitely use it for a coffee in my mornings! I have two good books. The mountain is you by Brianna Weist! Also the Midnight Library is so good too.
Just received your prints this week - thanks. I would give the bottle to my daughter who teaches third grade and is always in need of hydration. Enjoy the journey!
Yay!! Ellie’s back! That’s so great! Have fun. Totally don’t blame you for wanting to do repairs yourself. Rooting for you! Also received my prints.. love them!! And the company was fine. ❤
This is wonderful, wonderful news! Thank you!
Those bottles are super, but we already have a bunch here at home.
Oh wow, how lovely seeing Ellie again! Her radiant smile brightens up the most miserable of days. I'm so happy and glad she's finding herself travelling. *big hugs* to her and you Maddie. Lovely video, I loved every minute of it. ~Wendi 🌻
EEEEK! Way to go! I'm only like 30 seconds in but im excited to see your resilient attitude knowing that you can fix the van, or at the very least try
I bought my van from a junkyard and it didnt even turn on. With the help of my step dad as a teacher, I went from not knowing how to operate a power drill to fixing up everything under the hood to get the thing running perfectly.
It was a lot more work than a normal van conversion, but i dont think I'd change a thing about it. Learning how to navigate the engine and properly maintain and understand it is something I'm very grateful for.
It is beautiful and warm here in Christchurch today. I spent the weekend on the West Coast in a van, seeing Reefton, Hokitika, Greymouth
Maddie taylor...heavenly bird,fill my heart.light of life.shamim🤴🧡🦋👫🫂
We vacation with our class a, I can not imagine living in a van with another person and a dog. Our digs go everywhere with us.
I would totally fill one of those tumblers up with an ice cold drink and go out in the lake on my kayak!! My two favorite books right now are "How to Quit like a Millionaire" and "Belgarath the Sorcerer". You've totally "got this" with your van repair. Girl Power!!!
make sure to disconnect the battery if you try to replace the fan as radiator fans can run when the ignitions off ❤
Maybe a new rig is in your future. Open up to the possibility. After all, it's a required tool for your work. The His Dark Materials books are an epic trilogy of fantasy novels. Ciao...all the best from us
Yes yay to Ellie

Haha. I loved Ellies German cooking class. 🥕🥦🧅
Gute Reise euch beiden. ❤
Hello. In reference to your fan, it may well be your thermostat switch. That is faulty. Research it on RUclips, it is an easy fix. replacement part from Auto parts shop or dealership .stay safe and well.
You can also get the high frequency pest deterrents that run on batteries.
Have fun ladies! I would give the tumbler to my daughter who is a firefighter/EMT to carry with her through the day. I find 40oz to be perfect size for myself. Great recent read - Lessons in Chemistry. 🎉
Loved this book!
Loved this weeks video! I would use the Tumbler on my long drive to work to keep my coffee warm this winter! I enjoyed Atomic Habit! It was a great book!
I thought those repair numbers seemed a little high. Glad your community gave you some better ideas. Hope you two have fun hanging out. Stay safe.

Your van is a mobile Hantavirus Lab. Sticky traps are good because if the fleas jump off the mouse they get stuck too.
Great video!!! The bottle bottle tumbler would be well used on my next trip!! Hopefully going west soon! As far as books go… I love old classics and “little women” always brings me back.
I would give the bottlebottle to my youngest daughter who is disabled now. She does well with bottles of cups with a top and a straw. I have many favorite books but I love The Notebook and Gift from the Sea.
I know that you can replace that fan. You are amazing and can do so many things. I look forward to your next video with your friend from Germany that is visiting. :)
I would full it with lemon water and my favorite book is where the red fern grows ❤

This video was edited so nicely :) so glad to see Elli back, and excited for your adventures in Washington!
Glad to see you have some company for the next few weeks. Keep up the great videos

~Your French Teacher Friend, Andrea :)
I would use my tumbler to keep hydrated while teaching middle school reading and writing. I don’t drink enough water during the day. I’m going to share a few books I’ve loved over the past year or so: The Storyteller’s Death by Ann Davila Cardinal, The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali, When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and any and all books by Ruta Sepetys.
It’s great to see Ellie again! I’m glad she’ll be traveling with you for awhile.
If you haven’t read the “Woodswoman, Living Alone in the Adirondack Wilderness” by Anne Labastille, I recommend it, There are additional books. They are old, and so you have to get a paperback copy. You may also want to take a look at “Root Beer Lady, The Story of Dorothy Multer” It’s another older book. A new book that is available on kindle is “Digging Deeper” by Amanda Hoenes. She and her dog paddled the Missouri River, and Mississippi River in 2021.
Anne is a legend ! Her Twitchell Lake cabin was moved to preserve it and is at the Adriondack Museum at Blue Mtn Lake !!
Great to see Elli again!
I have So. Many. Books... I need to read, but right now I'm reading Looking Up by Casey Roman.
Your van is so cute. How nice of you to share it with friends. I'm going to read comments from your video to learn where I can learn more as well. My fear is being taken advamtage of at car repair shops. Thanks!
Hi Maddie, really liked your video....i have the same van as you , only difference is my van is an extra long wheelbase with a fixed double bed layout.
In England we don't have engines as big as the USA, pleased really, the price for a gallon of diesel in UK is about £6.50p a gallon or about $9 in USA. My engine is the 2.2 litre injection, will run all day easily at 70 mph. I get on average about 35 miles to the gallon. Your van looks more homely than mine....must be the womans touch. I love your dog....she is so beautiful and the way she looks at you she certainly loves her mum. Stay safe. Best wishes. XX David from Leicestershire England UK.
So glad to see Elli is ok, I subscribed to her channel looking forward to vlogs about New Zealand but then she disappeared from You Tube. Enjoy you time together and safe journeys.
Those Bottle Bottles are so cool. If I had one, I'd use it for chai lattes and coffees.
My favorite book...that's hard because I have so many of them. My favorite books are the Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Coben (my favorite author). Ellie is so sweet. You guys enjoy and stay safe! #BeKind

So happy to see Ellie again. 😊
Ellie, do you have your own channel or blog?
💕💕I would love to have a bottle bottle to put my matcha in every morning. What a great way to start my adventure to Quartzsite, AR to meet up and caravan with my friends.
I would love a Bottle Bottle to use on my hikes. Last year I started walking and could only make it a half mile. I am now up to 3.5 mile hikes. My favorite book is Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
Kindness does rule!
I love The One series and would use the water bottle to stay cool in the Arizona heat😊
Travel with friends is so fun! I’m older so I travel with husband. Still fun! LOL
I would use the tumbler for plain ol’ water. I’m such a terrible water drinker…Book? American Dirt. Intense. Eye opening.
I would use the tumbler as a sip mug. Since I am disabled with MS, it would be helpful as my grip isn't very good. I tend to knock things off to the floor.
Awesome video 🤍🏳️🌈Thanks for sharing 🥰
You two are going to have so much fun!
Those tumblers are really cool. I’ve been working on increasing my hydration so one that size would really help. Have you read Auberge of the Flowering Hearth? It’s a travelogue of sorts about a small hotel in a high valley in France as the author visits over many years. The valley is where the monastery where Chartreuse is made, coincidentally. The descriptions, the menus and recipes, it’s all so lovely.
Well I learned something watching your video today that I never knew before….. I never knew that you can cut the end of the caulk tube with the caulk gun itself. I always used a box cutter or a good pair of scissors. U do learn something new every day. ✌🏼
Love Ellie!!! 🤸🏾♂️🤸🏾♂️
You're right. Construction is WAY more difficult than 95% of auto repairs.
Learning to perform vehicle repairs is by far the easiest way the average person can save thousands of dollars. You're 100% making the right decision. There's a youtube video for EVERYTHING you would need to fix. All you need is the right tools.
Definitely need that tumbler for water. Gotta keep hydrated! As for a book recommendation - I'm not sure our tastes are too well aligned but I'm a big fan of Evelyn Waugh, Scoop! in particular has some great moments.
Welcome back Elli...
Young Lady, YOU are the exact reason I am packing the tool boxes in my camper. I raised my kids on wrenching and self sufficiency. But you and many others here are correct stealerships and mechanic shops rip people off. Don't feel alone, my son has watched his incompetent male friends get ripped off when all they had to do was ask for assistance. As I rebuild this house foundation to money up for my own travels I am working on the farm owner's daughter's antique pickup when she can make it home. I don't do any work on vehicles, motorcycles included without the owner there to help and learn.
Quite often the electric motor on fans isn't the problem. Thermostats, relays or wiring are the culprits so troubleshooting from beginning power to the motor will find the problems. A good inexpensive multimeter can save you thousands!
I wish you Ladies good luck in your travels and cooler heads when space seems too small!
You are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Maddie you got a lot accomplished before picking up Ellie and smart move on not letting that mechanic get ahold of your vehicle a second time.
Watch a ton of videos and like you said you figured out how to add electric and water system you can do this.
I would use the tumbler for either coffee or H2O, I'm just starting my nomadic lifestyle at the young age of 64 and will have a lot of driving to do to get from Kansas to Arizona then to Washington to visit my oldest daughter and family for Christmas then back to Arizona to stay till May.
Traveling approximately 4,000 miles.
The tumbler would be useful also for hiking with my dog and 2 cats.
You two have a Blessed trip together and be safe.
Looking forward to more videos, hope to start my own RUclips channel as well.
Fun video. Know you will get the fan motors done properly. Wonderful to see Elli again! Have fun. Always recommend the Isaac Asimov Robots and Foundation series. Start with book 1 of 11, “The Caves of Steel”. 4 books in robot series, 7 books in Foundation series. Apple TV original “Foundation” is very loosely based on these Asimov’s novels. Thanks for sharing another wonderful chapter in your chronicle. Looking forward to seeing you and Elli again soon.
Home based on Washington and exploring local this winter. Enjoy your time here!
I really enjoy all the work you put into these videos. But what has spurred me to hold you in highest regard is your knowledge of how to properly roll/store a hose. Respect.
lol
Nice that you found a friend to spend time with. I am single and sometimes life can be lonely.
"I don't know if it was the mouse I just caught, or the one from a couple of weeks ago.."
MADDIE! If you havent been in that drawer in 2 weeks, it's time to move stuff into your storage area, below the bed. If you have room, use the plastic storage bins with a snap lid. Keeps critters out.
Hmmm, dinner looks good, Ellie. If you guys come up around Everett, there is some really beautiful areas around the Granite Falls area. Be happy to show you!😊
Kindness indeed.
Great video! I would use the Tumbler on my trip Across the USA living in my CRV. I can see it now waking up somewhere new everyday drinking my coffee in my Tumbler admiring the view, living life with no regrets!
Hey Maddie,glad you are doing well.Another awesome video.Your videos are very uplifting and beautiful
.You are a wonderful artist as well.I go camping every year in New York State in the Adirodack Mountians,and you give me inspiration.Im glad your all doing well.Glad your friend is moving in .The bloopers at the end are very funny 😂 All the best guys !!
I would take it on winter snow adventures. Current fav read is Fourth Wing a fantasy series about dragon riders.
i would love this tumbler for work (im a school social worker) - i am always running around and the water at our school is questionable so i'd love to fill mine at home and not worry about it! one of my fav books is flowers for algernon - its beautiful but prepare to cry. love your videos
I love your videos I'm old enough to be your mother but you are still such an inspiration!!! One of my favorite books is an old book by Wally Lamb. It's called, "Shes come undone"
I would get all of my water in if I had a bottle bottle 💜
Favorite book is Timeline by Michael Crichton, and I'd use the tumbler on my family camping trips!
