I'm responding here! Yes indeed, but you are always the best my best bro! It's still never too late! Don't forget to get into real estate when you can and make that dough and get these lavish homes again! You deserve it all my best bro! And look at this beauty! The skies sure do look like those normal summer are coming around!
Dude, I don’t know why my nerves go crazy thinking about getting back into real estate and getting my license again I remember how hard it was to study everything because I’m not to get it studying and down the hill. There were a lot of options to help me out like the weekend cram session right before the test where they go over everything that’s gonna be in the test and yes I passed it but 95% of that stuff you learn you’re never going to use again
Hi, you guys. we are here. Of course The days that we're here has to rain. We just got here probably half hour 45 minutes ago. Still beautiful still love it still my most favorite place and because of your videos, I always get to keep that Get to remember what if like here.
Hey hey hey. I’m glad you guys got something, but if it was that minor and just messing things up, then I would’ve rather you guys didn’t get anything because my luck I would’ve washed my car the day before, and then the most mild weather for the most mild aspect of humid and thunderstorms, would’ve ruined me. Haha good to hear from you Dude. I heard a lot of Southern California today. Got a little bit.
@@jensme1 Jen. Let me just say welcome to your escape. Thank you for saying that I’m really glad that these videos can provide that for you. I just hope you guys have a really good time while you’re here If there’s any questions, you may have, don’t hesitate to ask I always want to make sure you guys have a good time
You blew my mind today with your story about wishing in one hand. My grandmother used to say that to me all the time. I miss her too. You made me smile today Thanks Nikk
Hahaha Mary that makes me happy to hear that. I definitely miss my grandpa a lot because that statement he would make often. He was really fun dude and I’m glad it made you think about your grandma. I hope you have a great rest of your evening, my friend
Yeah man, I won't even think about any of the fast food up here. I go to Staters mainly for fresh food, and for Mexican, I go to Cocina in Big Bear City and get the cheese enchilada plate. Their sauce is super good and fresh.
My friend, that was the only Mexican restaurant I would go to for a long time. I really enjoyed it a lot and the owners are such nice people. I actually know there’s some pretty well. He runs a mobile auto detailing company in big bear. Very nice young man. And I’m telling you what if you’re the type of person who puts effort into preparing your food then yes, you’re always going to be good. It’s the lazy people like me who are always going through drive-through’s and eating at other restaurants. So I definitely admire you for doing that my good friend. Hope you’re having a good week and staying cool out there because it is nasty out there the heat is ridiculous
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 I haven’t met their son, but he is a good dude from what I have been told. The dad is super cool every time I go in there and knows what I like.

My brother John doesn’t it look fantastic? It really is a big visual difference then it was a year ago today. As always, thank you for checking in man I love what we have here together. You guys absolutely are awesome and I’m very privileged to be able to share this experience with friends like you.
You guys usually do get pretty good storms this time of year don’t you or just a monsoon typically stay pretty far south? I figured the sierra Nevada’s would probably attract the creation of more storms Wellesley always a blessing
GG it’s so awesome up here when I lived in Denver Colorado, we would get some intense thunderstorms as well and to feel the thunder rumbling through your bones is so awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing you guys again sometime soon. Tell Joe Montana I said hello lol
There’s something about when it rains, just makes you want to grab a good book and relax in front of a cozy fireplace😊. I never get tired of seeing the area around big bear.
Gabriel my brother thanks for checking in man. It’s nice to be doing these videos again where I’m driving around the lake because that makes me feel good and it reminds me of winter time videos doesn’t remind you of winter time videos dude? Please say hello to the family for me. I miss you guys a lot. You still haven’t had a chance to meet my wife, but that time will come.
G. Before you know it it’s going to be white again I’m excited but at the same time enjoying not having to put on layers of clothing to go outside. I’m just wearing shorts and a T-shirt and it’s so nice.
That’s crazy I forgot that you live over in Whittier. I know you know that that’s where my wife is from. That is so cool my friend and how’s your little Prius doing? If I remember that’s what you were driving right and coming up here in the snow? Czar always great to hear from my bro
Hi Nick. Looks like Southern California may join you. Very overcast again and they said thunder storms. I hope so but, in the meantime I will enjoy yours. Thanks friend. 😊❤🙏
Deborah my good friend I’m keeping my fingers crossed for all of you. I know how much I love thunderstorms and when I lived most of my life in Newport maybe once per year we would get a thunderstorm coming through and I would get so excited so I know a lot of you feel the same way and I’m hoping you guys go through the same thing get that excitement but then actually get a good thunderstorm.
Good to see you again out there doing a rain drive, Nikk! The weather has it's own timetable, so don't feel bad about missing yesterday's storm. But you got this one, with a beautiful, refreshing lake drive. It looks so green there which is pretty unusual since it is late July, almost August. Carry on!
Thanks Fran. I appreciate that a lot. I didn’t miss the storm. I just didn’t get the heaviest part of the storm. I am so obsessed about never missing these things but as you’ve noticed over the years, I try to get out there as soon as it begins because I want all of you to know that it’s happening and that’s always my goal. It was just frustrating because while I was uploading the video that’s when the heaviest part of the storm hit, so yeah, I appreciate your kind words. I won’t feel too bad about missing that big storm, but I try my best for all of you and thanks for acknowledging the driving range videos. I’m looking forward to the snow again.
What’s up John bro. How’s it going Dude Seriously man I love hearing from you. This is what makes these videos special for me is getting to communicate with you all.
Wow Craig. You guys didn’t even get a drop? That’s a little bit disappointing because I know the push from these thunderstorms was pretty good so I thought it would actually make it to the other side of the mountain range a few miles. As you know, I grew up in Newport Beach and lived there most of my life and it was maybe once per year we would get a good thunderstorm and it would be so exciting for me. I would look forward to it coming the next year and the next year lol .
Adam my man. It’s so great to hear from you my friend. It’s so great to hear from you. I’m looking forward to the winter as well bro supposedly were supposed to get a really good season but I’ll believe it when I see it. Take care of yourself and I just hope you’ve been well
Only 15% return!? That's insane but I realize I've lived in Socal my whole life and I've only been to Big Bear a handful of times? Once this past Feb and before that, Feb in 2020. Prior to those trips, I don't think I had gone up since maybe '04? We're gonna try to come up on a more regular basis as the kids are small and still love it. Keep up the great videos!
My good friend I definitely have my fingers crossed. Definitely definitely. And I heard a lot of Southern California got some of these really humid clouds I guess that’s what clouds are as humid because they are moist. Lol I’m really hoping we get a good El Niño.
We've had a tiny few drops but not much yet in the High Desert. The temps are much cooler so far. Big Bear looks amazing and I bet the new rain scent is delish! Stay safe out there driving in it everyone.
It is so delicious my friend lol I’m loving it so much and the good news is we have another day of thunderstorms coming up tomorrow and it’s supposed to be more intense tomorrow so I’m really really hopeful And I’m surprised that where you’re at you’re not getting it really hard yet. I really thought that your area would probably get hit harder than us.
Nikk you're not kidding when you say it's not safe by the lake during thunderstorms. Many years ago, my cousins and I were fishing on the lake and a thunderstorm came over from the desert side from out of nowhere. Heavy thunder and lightning all around us and huge swells that we had to go from the Standfield side all the way to pleasure point marina against the swells. How we never got hit with lighting was a miracle. Someone was definitely looking out for us. Point is even if thunder seems far away get off the water.
Joe, I’m really glad that you actually take that type of advice. Clearly I’m a bad influence for everybody because I’m driving around in the middle of these storms in my car but I’m right there with you. I’m here to be the one to take risks for everyone so you guys can stay safe and at least enjoy the beauty of mother nature’s wrath. You really do know what you’re doing and yeah my friend you don’t want to be out on the lake when there’s lightning but if you could harnessed the lightning into the lake water somehow you might be able to catch a lot of fish without even trying lol
@@JoeD.294. hahahaha Joe bro let’s come up with an idea maybe create a fishing rod that shoots lightning bolts lol and would wear a bunch of rubber and make the boat out of rubber hahaha
My brother Jacob I sure hope you’re right bro. I really do love your attitude about it. I think it’s gonna be a lot of manifestation. I’m hopeful that we will get a good El Niño. My only concern is I think every year that I’ve lived here the prediction before winter never was correct and there was one winter where my prediction was absolutely 100% spot on and it’s not that I got it right because of education or anything like that it was just a guess And I’m hoping this winter my guess is as good as the potential theory lol. Take care of Jacob, my bro
It looks cool, and it feels cool my rail fanning friend. Right now it’s currently 72° at 5 PM. The thunderstorms are done for the day. We could get a straight thunderstorm tonight, but I’m glad you guys got a little something at least. With the really hot weather a little spritz of water feels pretty damn good. Again, my friend always nice to hear from you. Thank you for checking in on the videos and let me know what’s going on.
We had a tiny bit of rain I guess last night but I was asleep. But I was awake last night around 3 or 4am and there was a lot big lighting strikes in the distance towards South of the valley. It's just monsoon rain, Arizona gets a lot of it.
Hispanic, my buddy. Yeah, my bro he’s monsoon. Storms are intense and violent when it comes to New Mexico and Arizona I mean intense and the eastern half of California in Southern California The storms are ridiculously violent. I’m a big fan of the monsoon and I never was until I moved to big bear do you wanna know the craziest thing about this mountain range is the monsoons typically are created in the Gulf of Mexico all the humidity and moisture that ends up forming and they go basically only to this mountain range, and they do not go any further to the west it’s not too Rare for them to get into Sam Bernardino and Redlands and RIVERSIDE but it’s pretty rare. We are literally as far west as the storms go and I find that to be pretty darn cool how to topography and geography have a huge influence in where these storms end. How have you been my brother? It’s good to hear from you. Are you doing OK? Hope you’re having a great evening and I will definitely be chatting with you soon my dude.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yeah man I've been alright lately. Just been doing some small security thing they do events for. Like I just recently did comic con or whatever, but yeah I'm cool. But I'm in the process of doing a fishing processor job for Washington state but they go into the bearing sea. But yeah those monsoons are usually in Arizona and a little below there. Hopefully get some more rain..need it. Be safe out there Nick.
@@Confidential619 thanks my brother Hispanic. We’re getting a little bit today, but it’s nothing special. I wish it was a lot more but I just need to be grateful for what we are getting. I wish we would get the type of monsoons that happen east of us like I was talking about yesterday.
Thanks Dawn. I really hope you have a great time when you come up here just be safe and let loose. Make sure you don’t think about work or anything like that. Just have a great time when you get here. I hope everything’s going well for you my friend
So for a long time that’s the only restaurant I would really go to. I don’t have a problem with it it’s just I wasn’t really giving other restaurants much of a chance. I love the staff there. They are amazing. The food is very inconsistent but again it’s definitely good food but it’s not in my top favorites anymore because I’ve opened up and started going to some of the other restaurants. The way that I am is once I find a good restaurant I always go to that same restaurant and that’s doing you guys a disservice as well as my taste buds I appreciate you asking but of course it’s definitely still good it’s just not in my top four or five anymore. It used to be my favorite fine dining restaurant, but that’s because I never went to any of the other ones frequently enough but again remember this is only my opinion my opinion doesn’t mean anything I’m just willing to give it in case people want it.
Hey Nikk, i hope you and Rachel are doing good. Glad to see some rain coming down. It tried to rain here in san jacinto earlier but we only got a few drops. Just enough to make the cars look like crap. Lol
Jason, I thought being that close to San Jacinto that you guys would be more of a magnet for some of the thunderstorms so I’m surprised but I hope you guys do end up getting something good so it’s not a waste on the vehicles lol if it’s gonna get nasty let it get nasty lololol
@@jsnjcnt dude I can’t imagine how it feels down there when it’s humid. Oh my gosh it must feel like an oven just peeling your skin right off. Obviously I don’t need to tell you, but try not to go outside and stay in the air conditioning as much as you can.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yeah when I get off work and go home it will be really nice in the ac. I am in a non air conditioned shop welding. Lol. So hot welder with all the gloves and welding jacket on. Oh it makes it miserable lol. 5.:40 here now so it is starting to cool off.
@@jsnjcnt dude that’s incredible that you do a lot of welding in these types of temperatures without any air-conditioning. That’s crazy bro but I have had a couple friends who were welders and dude I couldn’t believe the amount of money you guys make I know it’s a very important job but holy moly. You guys absolutely crush it. I’m happy for you Jason.
Adam you were just like me bro that’s the only time I would ever want to come to this area. I’m still kind of in that boat mentally but I’ve learned to enjoy some of the summertime stuff here but you and I are very similar Adam
Have you driven your nice 2023 Subaru Outback recently, or has it sat since the Crosstrek came back? The battery might be dead from it sitting, so be aware of that!
Great question. It’s sitting underneath the car cover and two days a week. I run the car for about 45 minutes at a time because right before I put the car away I filled it up with 91 and I know it’s bad to keep gas in your gas tank for a long period of time without using the vehicle. And yes, it has been sitting for five months maybe a little more now. I just didn’t wanna have to pay the insurance on that as well because between my Harley Davidson in my other Subaru because of the accident I got into everything would’ve been about $900 a month for all three vehicles. So I just wanted to avoid that, so it’s in storage mode when it comes to insurance company. But if I get my white Subaru sold, then yes, I’ll be driving that bad boy all the time every time I go into that car to start it it’s just such a beautiful vehicle. It’s got every bell and whistle that you can possibly have when it comes to Subaru, it’s the nicest Subaru outback that they make everything about. It is so beautiful . But I’m trying to be frugal as can be. It’s saving me $315 a month for insurance. Still paying the $850 a month for the car but the way I’m looking at it is with only 5000 miles after a year or a year and a half if I needed to get rid of it I know I’m not gonna lose any money even if I break even I would be OK but hopefully someday that would be my permanent car. I might take it out in the winter time a couple times, but we shall see.
Lol, I was looking out for you today! We aren't minding the rain...better than 90 plus down the hill! I will catch up with you and Rachel later this week...Alex was up briefly yesterday, he forgot his rain gear, lol, so got a little wet, he will be back up on Friday. My daughter, gkids and I went to Discovery Museum then hung out in the Village...ate too much candy at the Village Sweet Shop!
I’m sorry I missed you guys but I know I’m gonna get to see you again and don’t forget about your earring. Let me ask you a question did it seem like at the discovery center? They would have a big problem if I wore my GoPro around my chest to do a video at the discovery center. I was gonna wear a jacket and just have the camera poking right through the jacket hole will it where it buttons up ? Let me know because I asked somebody one day and the person was clearly in a really snotty mood and it didn’t seem like they knew what they were talking about. It seemed like they just were trying to pass on me a little bit and said something about I need to get a permit.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 hmmm, the place is fairly low key...everyone taking photos, I am sure you are not the first that brought a video cam in... I wouldn't make too big of a deal of it and shoot quietly. Do they say no cameras or videoing at entrance? If not, you should be fine...I get it, it's nice to communicate what your doing.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 You could video quite a bit outside first. It looks like they have some kind of music events in the amphitheater on the property behind the building...have you seen it?
@@GG-kv8vv that’s a good question I don’t know if they do because I’ve never been there before but somebody told me I need a permit but I’ve heard of other people recording and taking pictures over there so I don’t really buy it but I don’t want to not follow the rules
@@GG-kv8vv I’ve never even been up there. Can you believe it? Maybe next time you guys come up here we could take the motorcycles over there and check it out.
Hey Time my friend. That area you are in it makes me really sad to hear that name because my favorite aunt passed away months ago, and she was living in Winchester. It does make me very sad and due to family issues. I didn’t really have an opportunity to see her too much near the end or at all actually because of the issues with my family. Very volatile and evil people. That’s why I’m so honored to call people like you my family I hope you guys do get some more of this moisture, and at least a few good thunderstorms
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 oh Nikk I’m very sorry to hear that. It’s definitely been a bad year. We had a death in the family earlier this month. Hang in there.
@@time4dirt time. I’m so sorry to hear that my friend I am really really sorry I want you to know that our thoughts are with you guys. That’s the hard thing about life is there’s so much pain and sorrow and just finding any way to have hope and happiness is so important. Again, our thoughts are with you, and all your loved ones for the loss you experienced Love you guys
I hope not either my bro I want you to have smooth sailing so you can be as safe as possible because sometimes those downpours can be torrential and really wreak havoc in the hills Hope you’re having a great day Brad
Okay everyone. If you got info that I died or killed myself I'm still here. My phone got hacked and I just spent alot of time talking to AT&T so that I could get in my account. Seems someone has been in my account and could watch what i was doing and speaking to. They could do anything they wanted. So now I'm having to tell you, I'm still alive and kicking. Sorry if you were one that got one of those messages. From what I understand they have been in my account for months
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 I am so pissed. Hacker suck. I didnt even know that they were on my stuff. Finally someone posted something and a friend contacted me and said hey do you know your dead? And your family is asking for money to help with your funeral. It has taken me a week to be able to get into my accounts. Sorry they sent that to you. And I'd never off myself.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621😏 dude, the weather has been crazy down here. It's been completely overcast all day, and we had a haboob (dust storm) at 3 a.m. this morning. But yet, hardly any rain or lightning. Just enough to get the car really dirty lol. I'm really disappointed, but I guess we might get some more tomorrow.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 LMAO Although my fav car is Green oooh one day i may own my own green Lamborghini (Hmm oh wait there manual yeah? hmm forget it lol Ooooh maybe a green mini cooper :) Oh their also manual... I so gotta get me a new green car lol
@@shilomifsud9836 noooooooooo. No you’ll stay away mini cooper if you can afford Lambo lololol. We only live once. Mini is a cool car for sure. So I’m just joking a bit about that haha
@@jsnjcnt Jason I’m thinking about it often and if everything works out, we could see snow in less than three months so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Since it’s supposed to be El Niño this season, we might get a lot of rain but that’s OK. I will be out there no matter what.
I’m actually passing that place right now so I’ll give you my honest opinion and don’t forget it’s a very subjective one I remember restaurants when the food is really good I don’t remember that place at all but I’ve heard good things about it but then again, I’ve heard some good things about restaurants that I would never ever go to ever again, but you’re talking about Sonora Cantina as I said, I’ve heard good reviews about it just not that many reviews But again, it’s a very subjective opinion it would be worth trying because I also remember if I hated the restaurant and I don’t remember hating the restaurant I just wanna make sure that I give you my most honest possible opinion
@@analogjudoka I love these conversations we get to have here because once again, my opinion is only subjective for instance, even though In-N-Out Burger is my favorite. I still like McDonald’s, french fries better and I know a lot of people who swear by In-N-Out french fries. So yes, my opinion is extremely subjective and I don’t want anyone to not try something here just because it’s not on my favorite list However, one thing I do remember is if I thought the food was amazing or the complete opposite, and I will always give my opinion because I think that’s the right thing to do because not everybody can afford to go eat out every night and take the risk of spending money and being unhappy Good to hear from you today my good buddy
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 that’s the best part about you having your channel. You can cut through the “brochure tours” and share with people all of our little gems up here. I laughed about not having much business in Fawnskin (not Foreskin LOL) since the average resident across the lake there would probably refer to your services as wacky tobaccy or reefer and swear it leads to crime and being a Communist. 🤣
@@analogjudoka yeah, I am the definition of capitalism bro lol But I really do appreciate you actually listening to me in the videos I really really do and I do like to joke around a lot because in life it’s important to laugh. I’ve learned the older I get the less I take life seriously unless I have to then of course I’ll take it very seriously but I try not to let as much bother me. I’m not perfect , but I just try to laugh at everything and enjoy everything and take it Seriously wanna have to

As always, thank you for checking in man I love what we have here together. You guys absolutely are awesome and I’m very privileged to be able to share this experience with friends like you.
Good day for rain
Hey Brian very nice to hear from you my bro. I’m telling you a man. It’s been a great day a lot lately for rain.
Looks ever so delightful! Wish we had a bit of that! 🌧
You guys usually do get pretty good storms this time of year don’t you or just a monsoon typically stay pretty far south?
I figured the sierra Nevada’s would probably attract the creation of more storms
Wellesley always a blessing
It's Tuesday
4:58 Am and it's raining pretty hard down here
Nice Lee. I’m glad to hear it bro.
Take care of my friend and I hope everything’s going good for you right now

My favorite weather! Its very hot here in Whittier. I have to head up there soon!. Thanks Nikk!
That’s crazy I forgot that you live over in Whittier. I know you know that that’s where my wife is from. That is so cool my friend and how’s your little Prius doing? If I remember that’s what you were driving right and coming up here in the snow?
Czar always great to hear from my bro
Hi Nick. Looks like Southern California may join you. Very overcast again and they said thunder storms. I hope so but, in the meantime I will enjoy yours. Thanks friend. 😊❤🙏
Deborah my good friend I’m keeping my fingers crossed for all of you. I know how much I love thunderstorms and when I lived most of my life in Newport maybe once per year we would get a thunderstorm coming through and I would get so excited so I know a lot of you feel the same way and I’m hoping you guys go through the same thing get that excitement but then actually get a good thunderstorm.
Good to see you again out there doing a rain drive, Nikk! The weather has it's own timetable, so don't feel bad about missing yesterday's storm. But you got this one, with a beautiful, refreshing lake drive. It looks so green there which is pretty unusual since it is late July, almost August. Carry on!
Thanks Fran. I appreciate that a lot. I didn’t miss the storm. I just didn’t get the heaviest part of the storm. I am so obsessed about never missing these things but as you’ve noticed over the years, I try to get out there as soon as it begins because I want all of you to know that it’s happening and that’s always my goal. It was just frustrating because while I was uploading the video that’s when the heaviest part of the storm hit, so yeah, I appreciate your kind words. I won’t feel too bad about missing that big storm, but I try my best for all of you and thanks for acknowledging the driving range videos. I’m looking forward to the snow again.
Good to a spot of rain up there.
What’s up John bro. How’s it going Dude
Seriously man I love hearing from you. This is what makes these videos special for me is getting to communicate with you all.
Well you got your rain. Nice little drive. Not a drop down the hill. Take care Nikk.
Wow Craig. You guys didn’t even get a drop? That’s a little bit disappointing because I know the push from these thunderstorms was pretty good so I thought it would actually make it to the other side of the mountain range a few miles.
As you know, I grew up in Newport Beach and lived there most of my life and it was maybe once per year we would get a good thunderstorm and it would be so exciting for me. I would look forward to it coming the next year and the next year lol .
I honestly can’t wait for the snow. Sorry I haven’t been around, im looking forward so much for the snow to come back
Adam my man. It’s so great to hear from you my friend. It’s so great to hear from you. I’m looking forward to the winter as well bro supposedly were supposed to get a really good season but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Take care of yourself and I just hope you’ve been well
Only 15% return!? That's insane but I realize I've lived in Socal my whole life and I've only been to Big Bear a handful of times? Once this past Feb and before that, Feb in 2020. Prior to those trips, I don't think I had gone up since maybe '04? We're gonna try to come up on a more regular basis as the kids are small and still love it. Keep up the great videos!
Lucky you. So far all we have are clouds. I have read we will have another El Nino. Keep your fingers corssed!
My good friend I definitely have my fingers crossed. Definitely definitely.
And I heard a lot of Southern California got some of these really humid clouds I guess that’s what clouds are as humid because they are moist. Lol I’m really hoping we get a good El Niño.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 All we got were threatening clouds lol. Oh well, it was beautiful.
@@hickokhaley it was surely beautiful
I love the huge puffy cumulonimbus clouds. Just beautiful.
We've had a tiny few drops but not much yet in the High Desert. The temps are much cooler so far. Big Bear looks amazing and I bet the new rain scent is delish! Stay safe out there driving in it everyone.
It is so delicious my friend lol I’m loving it so much and the good news is we have another day of thunderstorms coming up tomorrow and it’s supposed to be more intense tomorrow so I’m really really hopeful
And I’m surprised that where you’re at you’re not getting it really hard yet. I really thought that your area would probably get hit harder than us.
Nikk you're not kidding when you say it's not safe by the lake during thunderstorms. Many years ago, my cousins and I were fishing on the lake and a thunderstorm came over from the desert side from out of nowhere. Heavy thunder and lightning all around us and huge swells that we had to go from the Standfield side all the way to pleasure point marina against the swells. How we never got hit with lighting was a miracle. Someone was definitely looking out for us. Point is even if thunder seems far away get off the water.
Joe, I’m really glad that you actually take that type of advice. Clearly I’m a bad influence for everybody because I’m driving around in the middle of these storms in my car but I’m right there with you. I’m here to be the one to take risks for everyone so you guys can stay safe and at least enjoy the beauty of mother nature’s wrath.
You really do know what you’re doing and yeah my friend you don’t want to be out on the lake when there’s lightning but if you could harnessed the lightning into the lake water somehow you might be able to catch a lot of fish without even trying lol
You might have something on the use of lightning and fish..😂
@@JoeD.294. hahahaha Joe bro let’s come up with an idea maybe create a fishing rod that shoots lightning bolts lol and would wear a bunch of rubber and make the boat out of rubber hahaha
Hey Nikk! I believe this winter the lake will be filled up because of El Niño will be hitting California this winter!
My brother Jacob I sure hope you’re right bro. I really do love your attitude about it. I think it’s gonna be a lot of manifestation.
I’m hopeful that we will get a good El Niño. My only concern is I think every year that I’ve lived here the prediction before winter never was correct and there was one winter where my prediction was absolutely 100% spot on and it’s not that I got it right because of education or anything like that it was just a guess And I’m hoping this winter my guess is as good as the potential theory lol.
Take care of Jacob, my bro
Awesome dude!! It looks cool up there! It drizzled for a couple minutes it’s cloudy down in the IE! Stay safe up there!
It looks cool, and it feels cool my rail fanning friend. Right now it’s currently 72° at 5 PM.
The thunderstorms are done for the day. We could get a straight thunderstorm tonight, but I’m glad you guys got a little something at least. With the really hot weather a little spritz of water feels pretty damn good.
Again, my friend always nice to hear from you. Thank you for checking in on the videos and let me know what’s going on.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 no problem bro
We had a tiny bit of rain I guess last night but I was asleep. But I was awake last night around 3 or 4am and there was a lot big lighting strikes in the distance towards South of the valley. It's just monsoon rain, Arizona gets a lot of it.
Hispanic, my buddy. Yeah, my bro he’s monsoon. Storms are intense and violent when it comes to New Mexico and Arizona I mean intense and the eastern half of California in Southern California The storms are ridiculously violent.
I’m a big fan of the monsoon and I never was until I moved to big bear do you wanna know the craziest thing about this mountain range is the monsoons typically are created in the Gulf of Mexico all the humidity and moisture that ends up forming and they go basically only to this mountain range, and they do not go any further to the west it’s not too Rare for them to get into Sam Bernardino and Redlands and RIVERSIDE but it’s pretty rare. We are literally as far west as the storms go and I find that to be pretty darn cool how to topography and geography have a huge influence in where these storms end.
How have you been my brother? It’s good to hear from you. Are you doing OK? Hope you’re having a great evening and I will definitely be chatting with you soon my dude.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yeah man I've been alright lately. Just been doing some small security thing they do events for. Like I just recently did comic con or whatever, but yeah I'm cool. But I'm in the process of doing a fishing processor job for Washington state but they go into the bearing sea. But yeah those monsoons are usually in Arizona and a little below there. Hopefully get some more rain..need it. Be safe out there Nick.
@@Confidential619 thanks my brother Hispanic. We’re getting a little bit today, but it’s nothing special. I wish it was a lot more but I just need to be grateful for what we are getting. I wish we would get the type of monsoons that happen east of us like I was talking about yesterday.
I used to fish on that side for years
I would really like to eventually do some fishing here because I’ve only gone fishing once in my entire life and I know that’s pathetic
The village is really green
Isn’t it kind of a shocker how it looks?
Love your videos, will be going there Sunday hope all is well
Thanks Dawn. I really hope you have a great time when you come up here just be safe and let loose. Make sure you don’t think about work or anything like that. Just have a great time when you get here.
I hope everything’s going well for you my friend
What about Captain’s Anchor as one of your favorite restaurants?
So for a long time that’s the only restaurant I would really go to. I don’t have a problem with it it’s just I wasn’t really giving other restaurants much of a chance. I love the staff there. They are amazing. The food is very inconsistent but again it’s definitely good food but it’s not in my top favorites anymore because I’ve opened up and started going to some of the other restaurants.
The way that I am is once I find a good restaurant I always go to that same restaurant and that’s doing you guys a disservice as well as my taste buds
I appreciate you asking but of course it’s definitely still good it’s just not in my top four or five anymore. It used to be my favorite fine dining restaurant, but that’s because I never went to any of the other ones frequently enough but again remember this is only my opinion my opinion doesn’t mean anything I’m just willing to give it in case people want it.
18:02 I’m catching up on your storm weather coverage today and time stamping my favorite rock.
Hey Nikk, i hope you and Rachel are doing good. Glad to see some rain coming down. It tried to rain here in san jacinto earlier but we only got a few drops. Just enough to make the cars look like crap. Lol
Just really hot and humidity here.
Jason, I thought being that close to San Jacinto that you guys would be more of a magnet for some of the thunderstorms so I’m surprised but I hope you guys do end up getting something good so it’s not a waste on the vehicles lol if it’s gonna get nasty let it get nasty lololol
@@jsnjcnt dude I can’t imagine how it feels down there when it’s humid. Oh my gosh it must feel like an oven just peeling your skin right off. Obviously I don’t need to tell you, but try not to go outside and stay in the air conditioning as much as you can.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yeah when I get off work and go home it will be really nice in the ac. I am in a non air conditioned shop welding. Lol. So hot welder with all the gloves and welding jacket on. Oh it makes it miserable lol. 5.:40 here now so it is starting to cool off.
@@jsnjcnt dude that’s incredible that you do a lot of welding in these types of temperatures without any air-conditioning. That’s crazy bro but I have had a couple friends who were welders and dude I couldn’t believe the amount of money you guys make I know it’s a very important job but holy moly. You guys absolutely crush it. I’m happy for you Jason.
I dont come out there unless there is snow but crazy to see it with no snow, so different
Adam you were just like me bro that’s the only time I would ever want to come to this area.
I’m still kind of in that boat mentally but I’ve learned to enjoy some of the summertime stuff here but you and I are very similar Adam
Me and my brother will be coming to ski and snowboard, we do all the time
Have you driven your nice 2023 Subaru Outback recently, or has it sat since the Crosstrek came back? The battery might be dead from it sitting, so be aware of that!
Great question. It’s sitting underneath the car cover and two days a week. I run the car for about 45 minutes at a time because right before I put the car away I filled it up with 91 and I know it’s bad to keep gas in your gas tank for a long period of time without using the vehicle.
And yes, it has been sitting for five months maybe a little more now. I just didn’t wanna have to pay the insurance on that as well because between my Harley Davidson in my other Subaru because of the accident I got into everything would’ve been about $900 a month for all three vehicles.
So I just wanted to avoid that, so it’s in storage mode when it comes to insurance company.
But if I get my white Subaru sold, then yes, I’ll be driving that bad boy all the time every time I go into that car to start it it’s just such a beautiful vehicle. It’s got every bell and whistle that you can possibly have when it comes to Subaru, it’s the nicest Subaru outback that they make everything about. It is so beautiful .
But I’m trying to be frugal as can be. It’s saving me $315 a month for insurance. Still paying the $850 a month for the car but the way I’m looking at it is with only 5000 miles after a year or a year and a half if I needed to get rid of it I know I’m not gonna lose any money even if I break even I would be OK but hopefully someday that would be my permanent car. I might take it out in the winter time a couple times, but we shall see.
Lol, I was looking out for you today! We aren't minding the rain...better than 90 plus down the hill! I will catch up with you and Rachel later this week...Alex was up briefly yesterday, he forgot his rain gear, lol, so got a little wet, he will be back up on Friday. My daughter, gkids and I went to Discovery Museum then hung out in the Village...ate too much candy at the Village Sweet Shop!
I’m sorry I missed you guys but I know I’m gonna get to see you again and don’t forget about your earring.
Let me ask you a question did it seem like at the discovery center? They would have a big problem if I wore my GoPro around my chest to do a video at the discovery center. I was gonna wear a jacket and just have the camera poking right through the jacket hole will it where it buttons up ?
Let me know because I asked somebody one day and the person was clearly in a really snotty mood and it didn’t seem like they knew what they were talking about. It seemed like they just were trying to pass on me a little bit and said something about I need to get a permit.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 hmmm, the place is fairly low key...everyone taking photos, I am sure you are not the first that brought a video cam in... I wouldn't make too big of a deal of it and shoot quietly. Do they say no cameras or videoing at entrance? If not, you should be fine...I get it, it's nice to communicate what your doing.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 You could video quite a bit outside first. It looks like they have some kind of music events in the amphitheater on the property behind the building...have you seen it?
@@GG-kv8vv that’s a good question I don’t know if they do because I’ve never been there before but somebody told me I need a permit but I’ve heard of other people recording and taking pictures over there so I don’t really buy it but I don’t want to not follow the rules
@@GG-kv8vv I’ve never even been up there. Can you believe it? Maybe next time you guys come up here we could take the motorcycles over there and check it out.
Sprinkles on and off in Murrieta Valley. Hoping for thunderstorms! 👏
Hey Time my friend. That area you are in it makes me really sad to hear that name because my favorite aunt passed away months ago, and she was living in Winchester.
It does make me very sad and due to family issues. I didn’t really have an opportunity to see her too much near the end or at all actually because of the issues with my family. Very volatile and evil people.
That’s why I’m so honored to call people like you my family
I hope you guys do get some more of this moisture, and at least a few good thunderstorms
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 oh Nikk I’m very sorry to hear that. It’s definitely been a bad year. We had a death in the family earlier this month. Hang in there.
@@time4dirt time. I’m so sorry to hear that my friend I am really really sorry I want you to know that our thoughts are with you guys. That’s the hard thing about life is there’s so much pain and sorrow and just finding any way to have hope and happiness is so important.
Again, our thoughts are with you, and all your loved ones for the loss you experienced Love you guys
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 thanks Nikk for you kind words. Thoughts and prayers to your family as well and love to you and Rachel.
@@time4dirt thanks Time. Your welcome. I just hate seeing people I care about going through pain I just wish you guys strength through this.
I can smell it lol quote from Eddie Murphy
Is that from one of his stand up shows or from a movie?
I hope it's not like this on Aug 12 my birthday just for a new rav 4 taking it to My fav spot pineknot for 3 days
I hope not either my bro I want you to have smooth sailing so you can be as safe as possible because sometimes those downpours can be torrential and really wreak havoc in the hills
Hope you’re having a great day Brad
Okay everyone. If you got info that I died or killed myself I'm still here. My phone got hacked and I just spent alot of time talking to AT&T so that I could get in my account. Seems someone has been in my account and could watch what i was doing and speaking to. They could do anything they wanted. So now I'm having to tell you, I'm still alive and kicking.
Sorry if you were one that got one of those messages. From what I understand they have been in my account for months
I figured that because I know you’re not a weak person and I know you would never do anything like that, so I kind of figured that
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 I am so pissed. Hacker suck. I didnt even know that they were on my stuff. Finally someone posted something and a friend contacted me and said hey do you know your dead? And your family is asking for money to help with your funeral. It has taken me a week to be able to get into my accounts. Sorry they sent that to you. And I'd never off myself.
That pirate ship was in The Goonies Nikk! 😆
That’s right. I knew it was a famous movie that I really liked a lot. That is crazy. I knew it I knew it.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621😏 dude, the weather has been crazy down here. It's been completely overcast all day, and we had a haboob (dust storm) at 3 a.m. this morning. But yet, hardly any rain or lightning. Just enough to get the car really dirty lol. I'm really disappointed, but I guess we might get some more tomorrow.
@@MPWEST83 I’m going you guys get it today. We are lightly
@2.55 that is a nice colour red van ;)
Hahaha Shi. Your funny man. I am not a fan of orange or red cars unless it’s the ones I’ll never afford loool
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 LMAO Although my fav car is Green oooh one day i may own my own green Lamborghini (Hmm oh wait there manual yeah? hmm forget it lol Ooooh maybe a green mini cooper :) Oh their also manual... I so gotta get me a new green car lol
@@shilomifsud9836 noooooooooo. No you’ll stay away mini cooper if you can afford Lambo lololol. We only live once. Mini is a cool car for sure. So I’m just joking a bit about that haha
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Lmao but... Mr. Bean drives a Mini Cooper :) Mr. Bean driving up Hwy 18 speeding around the bends
@@shilomifsud9836 hahah. Was that Highway 18? I’d be so happy if true.
Maybe the movie you’re thinking is Die Hard?
Yeah its Fawn Skin, not the other thing, lol
Lolol. Jason, my brother holy moly. Good to hear from you Dude. I hope you’re having a great day. Seriously, bro really good to hear from you.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 thank you Nikk. Great to hear from you too. Hope you get a real good snow this soon to be winter season.
@@jsnjcnt Jason I’m thinking about it often and if everything works out, we could see snow in less than three months so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Since it’s supposed to be El Niño this season, we might get a lot of rain but that’s OK. I will be out there no matter what.
Question for you nikk have toy ever had the mexican place rite next to taco bell i herd its relly good
I’m actually passing that place right now so I’ll give you my honest opinion and don’t forget it’s a very subjective one
I remember restaurants when the food is really good I don’t remember that place at all but I’ve heard good things about it but then again, I’ve heard some good things about restaurants that I would never ever go to ever again, but you’re talking about Sonora Cantina as I said, I’ve heard good reviews about it just not that many reviews
But again, it’s a very subjective opinion it would be worth trying because I also remember if I hated the restaurant and I don’t remember hating the restaurant I just wanna make sure that I give you my most honest possible opinion
Sonora Cantina is really good, and the family that owns it is super nice.
@@analogjudoka I love these conversations we get to have here because once again, my opinion is only subjective for instance, even though In-N-Out Burger is my favorite. I still like McDonald’s, french fries better and I know a lot of people who swear by In-N-Out french fries.
So yes, my opinion is extremely subjective and I don’t want anyone to not try something here just because it’s not on my favorite list
However, one thing I do remember is if I thought the food was amazing or the complete opposite, and I will always give my opinion because I think that’s the right thing to do because not everybody can afford to go eat out every night and take the risk of spending money and being unhappy
Good to hear from you today my good buddy
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 that’s the best part about you having your channel. You can cut through the “brochure tours” and share with people all of our little gems up here. I laughed about not having much business in Fawnskin (not Foreskin LOL) since the average resident across the lake there would probably refer to your services as wacky tobaccy or reefer and swear it leads to crime and being a Communist. 🤣
@@analogjudoka yeah, I am the definition of capitalism bro lol
But I really do appreciate you actually listening to me in the videos I really really do and I do like to joke around a lot because in life it’s important to laugh. I’ve learned the older I get the less I take life seriously unless I have to then of course I’ll take it very seriously but I try not to let as much bother me. I’m not perfect , but I just try to laugh at everything and enjoy everything and take it Seriously wanna have to
First comment !
Hey Steven. Thank you my brother I appreciate that.
