Ed Ames you mentioned. I just found out of his passing he had a very nice baritone voice. I had a father that was a tenor so I appreciated that Wonderfussy..
I had a car like that. It preferred to be at home when it needed anything. And while I was disappointed that it did need things, I gave it great credit for having the courtesy to get sick at home instead of on the road.
@davidfisher527 we go out to Stovepipe Wells and make pulls up towns pass to test our new products... and starting at the bottom where it's usually 121 to 126 Fahrenheit and by the time we hit the summit it's usually like 96,,, feels breezy at the top by comparison 😀
@Wonderhussy Adventures Wonderhussy, have you ever heard of, or been to Cerro Gordo? It's a town in the Death Valley area. There's a man there you aught to meet: Brent Underwood. He purcased the town a couple years ago with his life's savings and has been living there since. He's been rebuilding the old hotel and trying to revive and restore that historic mining town the best he can! He's doing quite nicely and you should check it out.
Yeah, I think everyone has been a bit sidetracked the last few years. It's like a perpetual cloud of bad luck. So many are in "lazy mode" and everything is always delayed.
Rocky Mountain ass water😂😂. You are funny Sarah! 🤣🤣. Before you get too depressed, count your blessings…good friends are priceless. Sometimes you travel the world in search of….and it’s right under your nose. Great stuff! 😊
Since you are replacing the shocks, just go ahead and drive on the ones that are leaking for the next 3 weeks. You got nothing to lose. Just make the appointment for the new shocks for 3 weeks from now and hit the road.
Have you HEARD of the "German tourists" who tried to explore Death Valley in a REGULAR car that wasn't equipped to deal with offroading? And you think it's a GOOD IDEA to head out with a vehicle that's compromised now?!? I take it you haven't listened to the news about what happened to that minisub that attempted to dive to the Titanic less than 2 weeks ago? Sarah's not going to implode but she could stuck in the middle of nowhere and that's NOT a good idea with the state of Search and Rescue. In the amount of time (hours or days) it generally takes S&R to find people, the worst can happen to people. They STILL haven't found that actor (Julian Sands) who went into the Californian mountains this past winter. It's a recovery mission now. They knew after a a month he was dead but they don't say this because a bunch of us can't accept reality. Don't go out on adventures into the wilderness when you're sick or your vehicle isn't up to snuff! You're asking for trouble when you and your ride aren't 100%!
When this shock problem came up last year, I wrote DO NOT stay with those IKON shocks. I told her, "Get a set of Bilsteins and be done with it" $1500 sounds too high unless he's replacing the springs up front as well. The shocks are about $400, the springs around $200...so he's going to bank $7-900 dollars for about 3 hours of work, tops. Let's hope he does good work. Looks like she can't haul ass because they may show up at any minute.
Misery loves company. I've been the same way since being forcibly retired by the pandemic. Fortunately, there's Wonderhussy's adventures popping up every week or so.
I think what you're going through is age appropriate, I listen to you all the time, most people partner up, I've been single for years, being alone is sometimes hard but you avoid a lot of issues,
I've found ( the hard way) ..that it's not necessary to have a " relationship" to be whole. After my last one, I'm the happiest I've ever been...and I don't think I'll ever venture into it again.
Suggestion: Save every part of your ICON shocks. After you have replaced them, send them off to be rebuilt for a back up. Just a thought. If not, it wouldn’t hurt to keep them anyway.
I think I will drive up to Sarah Jane woodall's house in tecopa I'm only about 20 minutes away and see what she thinks about you cry babies I can't believe you guys you all got your panties in a bunch

That thing you couldn't figure out with the dual wheels and the fifth wheel is a convertor dolly, used by tractor trailers to tow two trailers. When you see the FedEx doubles going down the highway, this is what they use to connect those trailers together.

Other commenters are absolutely correct. Just drive on your leaking shocks with no worries for a few weeks and replace them when your parts come in. As a race car mechanic who has rebuilt shocks (for race cars when you can be adjusting shocks multiple times a day and rebuilding them regularly), high-maintenance shocks for street cars even with moderate off-roading like you do is just silly. The ICON shocks were just put on originally as a "prestige brand" profit bump option by the selling dealer to justify padding the sales price. The common Bilstein 5100 choice will 98% as good at much less cost.

Ok, I just have to point out at 9:06 you are talking about how alone you feel and I was like who is that next to you and I remembered seeing a mannequin and the juxtaposition of the sentiment and this visual is art. I'm glad you made it out of town finally and love your work. Thanks for always being real and for all the beauty you bring into the most unexpected of places and situations. That is what I aim to do and you remind me of my purpose ❤❤❤❤❤

We are here and you can rant all you want to - we all get in the funk once in awhile...you have a great smile and can whip up a story that entertains you and all of us anytime...love you, Wionderhussy...you are in good hands with me and all your followers...
Wonderhussy you are unsinkable, you are too wonderful to ever sink. You give so many of us so much. And it's ok to vent, we all need to now and then. Cheers dear!!
Oh WH... You are a gypsy... An adventurer... Explorer... It is rough for people like you to be locked down. You have FIFTY SIX THOUSAND who love to hear whatever you have to say. Share away! 💪💗
I know the feeling of having a town shut down at the end of the season. At 18, I worked in Ocean City, NJ one summer, but loved the beach so much I stayed after everything was boarded up. Such a weird mix of emotions: lonely, peaceful, triumphant in my own melancholy self-reliance. Thank you WH for your honesty. I was fine and you will be, too. Hugs
Hey sweetie just listening to you, and just know you are such a blessing when I watch your show! And GOD never hangs up on you!! You have peeps out here that keep you in our prayers! We need more people like you to make us all feel good! Sending Love and prayers to always sweetie all the way from small town Alabama!!❤🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️
Sometimes it’s good to talk it out. It helps us figure things out at times. A true friend will be there for you for that, as you are for them. I completely get the aloneness. It’s great to have allot of friends scattered here and there, and in your case online friends as well, but as a woman about your age, also “alone”, with many friends across the years, when you really need that one person who will be there for you because you are the most important person to them, and likewise, you know deeply that you are never alone. It’s a mental place that you have to experience to understand. It’s a lot of very small things often imperceptible to others who have a soft place to land, a partner who is present. When all the other doors in the world close to people who have one another in their time of need, we feel like a hungry soul looking through their windows. I find strength in my ability to be there for others, I often am, but can feel very alone. You have that strength that people take for granted, and are surprised when you share a moment of blues. Sometimes the look on the bright side comments are worse than nothing said at all. All you can do is stay on your path, and perhaps someone special will cross theirs with your’s. Nevertheless, your comment, I just want to prepare the best next chapters coming up, resonate with me, and yep, that’s the absolute best we can do for ourselves. Then let what comes in our path enrich, or pass through. I’m across the way in the Sierra waiting for a new window after a bear smashed it, just to find nothing in my car for her, lol. Can’t go anywhere til it’s fixed. 😮
Heavy duty gas shocks are available anywhere. If you have leaf springs add another, and slow down on off-roading. Your shocks should last and not to need to be rebuilt (replace them anywhere). Good luck and happy motoring. A retired geologist living in Yuma.
The equipment you were wondering about is a dolly; truckers use them to hook up to a second or third trailer to pull down the highway. The big flat plate on the top is the fifth wheel that locks the trailer to the dolly and allows the trailer to articulate freely around corners. Those are usually covered in heavy axel grease
Your videos helped me and so many during the lockdowns, but l've been feeling just like you in this video, myself. I hope we can both find our joy again.
SJ .... Hang in there lady. I know that anxiety/Depression are very tough to handle, especially on your own. Please remember that there are THOUSANDS of people like myself, that you uplift every week. You are an important treasure.
Many of us share your free-floating 😢. I burn lots of petroleum to chase that away. A working car is a lifeline. As subscribers to your channel, we love your honesty, and we all listen. It's ok.
I've been stuck in E. Texas for the past almost 6 years, and just starting to adjust to the slower pace of life, and total lack of social life outside of social media. I feel your pain, and having my own margarita right now as I am watching this, thinking about the good o'l daze when I used to travel and go to festivals and shows regularly, only to find myself settled down in a lake town with 1/2 an acre to mow once a week, and 2 dogs to keep me company while my man is at work. I also share your woes with your vehicle repairs, I took my van in to get the engine rebuilt back in FEBRUARY and still waiting for them to finish the job. Granted, there have been a few snags in the process, first we had to clean out the gas tank, and repair that, then they took the engine out, sent it to Dallas to have it rebuilt, brought it back at the end of April (while I was in Vegas for the first time) and said it would be done in a couple of week. One of the main guys left for another job, and the other that took his place has been in and out of the hospital with kidney problems. A couple of months later, and now they say it's mostly done, but replacing a 1985 ac system has proven to be more problematic finding parts. So that is the big stall now, hoping they can figure it out in the next few weeks, and not hit me with some massive bill, since I have paid for most of the work up front already over 6k for the rebuild. ... sheesh this ran on... so I hope you get your rig back sooner than later, wish we could share some margaritas together in person, but I doubt you will make your way to TX any time soon, and I won't be going anywhere until this van is road worthy.
6k for an overhaul?? What kinda engine is it?? Several reputable builders are offering good solid sbc v8's for just 3400.00. You ain't kidding about slower paced life....
Wonderhussy, you are not alone. I for one can definitely empathize. As far as advice, the best I have for you is to go in the direction of what you are resisting the most. It is just past our strongest resistance where the most important lessons are.
Sarah, so sorry you are down. I think you may spend too much time alone. Even if you think "I vant to be alone" it works on your mind in negative ways. I spent 30 years and two marriages traveling for work. Stuck in strange towns with strange people for weeks on end. Even when you have friends that show up occasionally you lack the close relationship with another human to sustain you emotionally. The problem is that you've been burned a couple of times and find it difficult to trust. After 73 years of living I learned my lesson. Give it a chance.
The way I look at it , everyday I wake up on the top side of the grass is gonna be a great day. Or in your case the top side of the sand. I really enjoy all your videos ,keep em coming. You never fail to put a smile on my face.
Sounds like we have the same dream. Come to Iowa and we can run through the cornfields. Not really. The driftless region in the Northeast of Iowa was recently nominated to be a national park but shot down by residents who didn't want to lose their farms.
To bad my Crosstrek wasn't compatable with the 4Runner as I just put Bilstein Shocks, struts, and Eibach springs on. Worked well in Moab a few weeks ago. I would have lent them to you as I am going to be down for a few months .. Crosstrek got new parts and pieces and so am I .. Friday I am having a triple bypass .. figure 2 months before I'm ready to explore again .. we shall see! 🤠
You probably need to create a drama queen costume that will help more accurately express your angst. You do such a good job with the costumes!🎭 Sounds like you're going through a bit of a midlife crisis but I don't think it helps that it all started at the beginning of covid because I think covid really sucked a lot of joy from our lives and we are still trying to rebuild that piece.
I wish I had your enthusiasm for summer. I hate it, unless I take a vacation. Lol. I'm stuck in a hot house and gotta wear a stuffy work uniform. Good for you Wonderhussy! Soak up that sun for us. Your videos are therapeutic to me when I have free time.
Sarah you are always fun to listen to I remember photographing you at your gig with the Post Office at CES over 10 yrs ago and had mentioned that you need to make videos on RUclips of your travels and adventures especially the hot springs all over America glad you made it happen,Love you sweetie !❤❤❤...
Sarah the single axle unit at 23:20 is called a JEEP Dolly or a 5th wheel JEEP, not the same as the car brand. It would hook to a truck with a trailer hitch for big trailers and the axle would go under the trailer that had a 5th wheel connection. It provides a way for things like dump trucks to tow a 5th wheel trailer. It is not easy to back them up. Since you are replacing your shocks take small trips and do not worry about it. If you can go to Tikaboo valley I think I know some one that could help you with some content. If you need someone to listen I listened to my kids friends for years still have one call every so often when they need to talk but do not want anyone to repeat it. I would be happy to listen if you want. Been a fan of yours for years.
Sandy here: It seems this is the year for disrupted travel plans... I know how you feel, and I DO feel your pain. You are welcome here but it is a bit far... Hang in there, this will resolve soon enough and then you can laugh about it. Stay safe and be well, sending LOVE, Sandy and Ruth ❤❤
As long as your A/C is working and you have electricity and internet, you are blessed. Love your sharing…. Even if you are belly-aching. Be happy. You sound good and healthy. But we all have stumbling blocks inherited from family. I have mine. Do not be down there are thousands of us who truly appreciate you and are not scumbags trying to “get anything”. Be happy and grouse at your mechanic to get’er done! Stay well.
Oh WH! You entertain even when you’re down in the dumps. I am fairly confident you have viewers who are willing to listen and lend a sympathetic “like”. After your rig is patched up and you get her wound up & on the open road, the universe will conspire to lead you to where you want to go. See you next time!
Yes a conservative HETEROSEXUAL MALE movie 🎬 star type! A role model leader type! One that knows how to change a fuel pump and not afraid of getting black greased hands! Go-Jo anybody?
Ask your mechanic for the number where he ordered the shocks....then call them yourself "nicely" asking for their help to expedite the order. Tell them you're in the desert🥵🥵🥵 Good luck Hussy!! Btw, I enjoy your videos!!
You apparently don’t read your comments but what you could have done is take off in your rig with the Icon shacks as they are, as another commenter suggested, since you would be replacing them anyway, and THEN, when your shocks arrive have them shipped to a shop near were you are going. I ounce did this with some ignition coils that were going out on my car, I had them shipped to Tucson Arizona were I was driving to from the Bay Area.
Wonder. If I may. You mentioned running away from something. Strikes me rather clearly; you’re not running away but running too. So, keep running. You do it well. You take so along and we certainly appreciate it. Hell, aren’t we all running with you. Love ya girl.
You poor girl!! I sympathize. I hate the Summer because I came from the Northeast where Summer was great and looked forward to...but now in the desert Southwest, Summer is asylum indoors trying to keep cool. Nothing to do, nowhere to go outside. Sucks and so depressing. I now get depression in Summer instead of Winter. Right now, I'd rather be in the PNW, on the Olympic peninsula, or visiting greater Vancouver, BC. Enjoying the surf and sea.
you crack me up....having your toes doing the action while speaking🤣😂🤣😂🤣FUNNY! hey w/h don't get too down in the dumps, after all, you still have all of us out here. your friend in Sparks.....wayne!

Correct. If a guy sees a screw in one of his tires in the driveway, address it right then instead of it coming out on the road

You are very appreciated for venturing out into the 90 degree heat to show us this area. Love you Sara😘
We are here and you can rant all you want to - we all get in the funk once in awhile...you have a great smile and can whip up a story that entertains you and all of us anytime...love you, Wionderhussy...you are in good hands with me and all your followers...
Another wonderful Wednesday with wonderhussy thanks
Wonderhussy you are unsinkable, you are too wonderful to ever sink. You give so many of us so much. And it's ok to vent, we all need to now and then. Cheers dear!!
WAIT, you have perfectly working sisters car RIGHT THERE, and she's not using it for a while.
My brothers do not let anybody drive their cars.
@@pigoff123 do they have some rare fancy high price cars or something? Or are you the type that doesn't take good care of stuff?
Exactly. Her sister also has a 4Runner. Wonderhussy could even use some of her youtube ad revenue to rent a vehicle.
Oh WH...
You are a gypsy...
An adventurer...
Explorer...
It is rough for people like you to be locked down.
You have FIFTY SIX THOUSAND who love to hear whatever you have to say.
Share away!
💪💗
I know the feeling of having a town shut down at the end of the season. At 18, I worked in Ocean City, NJ one summer, but loved the beach so much I stayed after everything was boarded up. Such a weird mix of emotions: lonely, peaceful, triumphant in my own melancholy self-reliance. Thank you WH for your honesty. I was fine and you will be, too. Hugs
Hang in there, Sarah Jane...chin up. You've always got us! 😊
Hey sweetie just listening to you, and just know you are such a blessing when I watch your show! And GOD never hangs up on you!! You have peeps out here that keep you in our prayers! We need more people like you to make us all feel good! Sending Love and prayers to always sweetie all the way from small town Alabama!!❤🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️
I bet if you drove down the road today you would see a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac!
Be thankful you don't have to deal with mosquitoes and flys!
Sometimes it’s good to talk it out. It helps us figure things out at times. A true friend will be there for you for that, as you are for them. I completely get the aloneness. It’s great to have allot of friends scattered here and there, and in your case online friends as well, but as a woman about your age, also “alone”, with many friends across the years, when you really need that one person who will be there for you because you are the most important person to them, and likewise, you know deeply that you are never alone. It’s a mental place that you have to experience to understand. It’s a lot of very small things often imperceptible to others who have a soft place to land, a partner who is present. When all the other doors in the world close to people who have one another in their time of need, we feel like a hungry soul looking through their windows. I find strength in my ability to be there for others, I often am, but can feel very alone. You have that strength that people take for granted, and are surprised when you share a moment of blues. Sometimes the look on the bright side comments are worse than nothing said at all. All you can do is stay on your path, and perhaps someone special will cross theirs with your’s. Nevertheless, your comment, I just want to prepare the best next chapters coming up, resonate with me, and yep, that’s the absolute best we can do for ourselves. Then let what comes in our path enrich, or pass through. I’m across the way in the Sierra waiting for a new window after a bear smashed it, just to find nothing in my car for her, lol. Can’t go anywhere til it’s fixed. 😮
Heavy duty gas shocks are available anywhere. If you have leaf springs add another, and slow down on off-roading. Your shocks should last and not to need to be rebuilt (replace them anywhere). Good luck and happy motoring. A retired geologist living in Yuma.
The equipment you were wondering about is a dolly; truckers use them to hook up to a second or third trailer to pull down the highway. The big flat plate on the top is the fifth wheel that locks the trailer to the dolly and allows the trailer to articulate freely around corners. Those are usually covered in heavy axel grease
You’re not alone… we all have thoughts of life direction. From what I can see, you have one heck of a fun life!
Wonderhussy, you are loved. Th lowest of lows are only temporary, keep fighting for the happiness.
Your videos helped me and so many during the lockdowns, but l've been feeling just like you in this video, myself. I hope we can both find our joy again.
I think it's so cute the way you converse with your self and get lost in the moment"! Very Precious '👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍✌️
Always a good day when WH drops a vid 🎉 you rock. Hope shocks come soon. 🌸
I love you Wonder Hussy. Peace.
SUPER video Sarah. Even when you have no where to go you take us for a ride.
SJ .... Hang in there lady. I know that anxiety/Depression are very tough to handle, especially on your own. Please remember that there are THOUSANDS of people like myself, that you uplift every week. You are an important treasure.
Many of us share your free-floating 😢. I burn lots of petroleum to chase that away. A working car is a lifeline. As subscribers to your channel, we love your honesty, and we all listen. It's ok.
That rubber dingy of joy that you refer to is your energy center connection to infinity!
I've been stuck in E. Texas for the past almost 6 years, and just starting to adjust to the slower pace of life, and total lack of social life outside of social media. I feel your pain, and having my own margarita right now as I am watching this, thinking about the good o'l daze when I used to travel and go to festivals and shows regularly, only to find myself settled down in a lake town with 1/2 an acre to mow once a week, and 2 dogs to keep me company while my man is at work. I also share your woes with your vehicle repairs, I took my van in to get the engine rebuilt back in FEBRUARY and still waiting for them to finish the job. Granted, there have been a few snags in the process, first we had to clean out the gas tank, and repair that, then they took the engine out, sent it to Dallas to have it rebuilt, brought it back at the end of April (while I was in Vegas for the first time) and said it would be done in a couple of week. One of the main guys left for another job, and the other that took his place has been in and out of the hospital with kidney problems. A couple of months later, and now they say it's mostly done, but replacing a 1985 ac system has proven to be more problematic finding parts. So that is the big stall now, hoping they can figure it out in the next few weeks, and not hit me with some massive bill, since I have paid for most of the work up front already over 6k for the rebuild. ... sheesh this ran on... so I hope you get your rig back sooner than later, wish we could share some margaritas together in person, but I doubt you will make your way to TX any time soon, and I won't be going anywhere until this van is road worthy.
6k for an overhaul?? What kinda engine is it?? Several reputable builders are offering good solid sbc v8's for just 3400.00.
You ain't kidding about slower paced life....
Wonderhussy, you are not alone. I for one can definitely empathize.
As far as advice, the best I have for you is to go in the direction of what you are resisting the most. It is just past our strongest resistance where the most important lessons are.
Sarah, so sorry you are down. I think you may spend too much time alone. Even if you think "I vant to be alone" it works on your mind in negative ways. I spent 30 years and two marriages traveling for work. Stuck in strange towns with strange people for weeks on end. Even when you have friends that show up occasionally you lack the close relationship with another human to sustain you emotionally. The problem is that you've been burned a couple of times and find it difficult to trust. After 73 years of living I learned my lesson. Give it a chance.
Agreed. She sounds a little lonely. Not saying she should get married and be a housewife but sounds like she needs some company.
The way I look at it , everyday I wake up on the top side of the grass is gonna be a great day. Or in your case the top side of the sand. I really enjoy all your videos ,keep em coming. You never fail to put a smile on my face.
❤ have faith you'll be back on the road again soon
Sounds like we have the same dream. Come to Iowa and we can run through the cornfields. Not really. The driftless region in the Northeast of Iowa was recently nominated to be a national park but shot down by residents who didn't want to lose their farms.
To bad my Crosstrek wasn't compatable with the 4Runner as I just put Bilstein Shocks, struts, and Eibach springs on. Worked well in Moab a few weeks ago. I would have lent them to you as I am going to be down for a few months .. Crosstrek got new parts and pieces and so am I .. Friday I am having a triple bypass .. figure 2 months before I'm ready to explore again .. we shall see! 🤠
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
Ooooohhhh, Wondehussy all alone and stranded. Relax, you'll be fine. Superman to the rescue!
"Death Valley Life " videos are my favorite.
I was born in Astoria NY Queens County. 1955.This lady will dance circles around ALL of us!!!!!!! Peace out!!!!!!Freakin incredible!!!!!
If Wonderhussy can't come to the party. Bring the party to Wonderhussy! Rest in Peace Ed Ames. He played Mingo on Daniel Boone.
I love watching wonde hussy.
You probably need to create a drama queen costume that will help more accurately express your angst. You do such a good job with the costumes!🎭 Sounds like you're going through a bit of a midlife crisis but I don't think it helps that it all started at the beginning of covid because I think covid really sucked a lot of joy from our lives and we are still trying to rebuild that piece.
I wish I had your enthusiasm for summer. I hate it, unless I take a vacation. Lol. I'm stuck in a hot house and gotta wear a stuffy work uniform. Good for you Wonderhussy! Soak up that sun for us. Your videos are therapeutic to me when I have free time.
Sarah you are always fun to listen to I remember photographing you at your gig with the Post Office at CES over 10 yrs ago and had mentioned that you need to make videos on RUclips of your travels and adventures especially the hot springs all over America glad you made it happen,Love you sweetie !❤❤❤...
Sarah the single axle unit at 23:20 is called a JEEP Dolly or a 5th wheel JEEP, not the same as the car brand. It would hook to a truck with a trailer hitch for big trailers and the axle would go under the trailer that had a 5th wheel connection. It provides a way for things like dump trucks to tow a 5th wheel trailer. It is not easy to back them up.
Since you are replacing your shocks take small trips and do not worry about it. If you can go to Tikaboo valley I think I know some one that could help you with some content. If you need someone to listen I listened to my kids friends for years still have one call every so often when they need to talk but do not want anyone to repeat it. I would be happy to listen if you want. Been a fan of yours for years.
Sandy here: It seems this is the year for disrupted travel plans... I know how you feel, and I DO feel your pain.
You are welcome here but it is a bit far... Hang in there, this will resolve soon enough and then you can laugh about it. Stay safe and be well, sending LOVE, Sandy and Ruth ❤❤
Lady, Father loves you so much, as we all do,..the energy is massive and i understand the feeling, hang in there we'll are happy to wait..
Sorry that you are feeling so low, sounds like you are feeling very lonely 😢. Things will get better once you are on the road again. 😊
You are always an inspiration to us. Hang in there and I will try to remember you in my daily prayers. God loves you.
At least it hasn't been incredibly hot this year. It's been freakishly comfortable.
Bunch of freaks here
I'm in central Texas, it's been hells livingroom so far... 102° 40% humidity. 🔥 No let up in sight.
Can totally feel you,my "FUNK" started in 2019. It helps to help other people when your feeling down. We all love you,so hopefully that helps
As long as your A/C is working and you have electricity and internet, you are blessed. Love your sharing…. Even if you are belly-aching. Be happy. You sound good and healthy. But we all have stumbling blocks inherited from family. I have mine. Do not be down there are thousands of us who truly appreciate you and are not scumbags trying to “get anything”. Be happy and grouse at your mechanic to get’er done! Stay well.
A couple I know from Western Nebraska just took a Class-A motorhome through Canada into Alaska for their kids because they moved up there!
You keep all your fans happy with sharing your adventures, we are her to help!
Love your sense of humor and laughter.
Thanks for sharing
Oh WH! You entertain even when you’re down in the dumps. I am fairly confident you have viewers who are willing to listen and lend a sympathetic “like”. After your rig is patched up and you get her wound up & on the open road, the universe will conspire to lead you to where you want to go. See you next time!
At least we get to see alot of you now ! Love turning in every Wednesday ❤😂😊
Wonderhussy, you need another Wonderhussy of your own to cheer you up. May the Universe send you a light spirited companion to accompany you.
Yes a conservative HETEROSEXUAL MALE movie 🎬 star type! A role model leader type! One that knows how to change a fuel pump and not afraid of getting black greased hands! Go-Jo anybody?
We are all here to listen :) Thank you for the tour. Love the old stationwagon.
Ask your mechanic for the number where he ordered the shocks....then call them yourself "nicely" asking for their help to expedite the order. Tell them you're in the desert🥵🥵🥵 Good luck Hussy!! Btw, I enjoy your videos!!
You apparently don’t read your comments but what you could have done is take off in your rig with the Icon shacks as they are, as another commenter suggested, since you would be replacing them anyway, and THEN, when your shocks arrive have them shipped to a shop near were you are going. I ounce did this with some ignition coils that were going out on my car, I had them shipped to Tucson Arizona were I was driving to from the Bay Area.
Talking about your feelings even to a camera always helps even if it’s just a little bit it makes you feel better!❤
Wonder. If I may. You mentioned running away from something. Strikes me rather clearly; you’re not running away but running too. So, keep running. You do it well. You take so along and we certainly appreciate it. Hell, aren’t we all running with you. Love ya girl.
Hang in there Girl! Better days are coming! Safe travels!
I LOVE YOU WONDERHUSY! DON'T BE SAD. You're just a beautiful Woman inside & out 🌷🥊⚡️💎WONDERHUSSY FOREVER💎⚡️🥊🌷
You poor girl!! I sympathize. I hate the Summer because I came from the Northeast where Summer was great and looked forward to...but now in the desert Southwest, Summer is asylum indoors trying to keep cool. Nothing to do, nowhere to go outside. Sucks and so depressing. I now get depression in Summer instead of Winter. Right now, I'd rather be in the PNW, on the Olympic peninsula, or visiting greater Vancouver, BC. Enjoying the surf and sea.
you crack me up....having your toes doing the action while speaking🤣😂🤣😂🤣FUNNY! hey w/h don't get too down in the dumps, after all, you still have all of us out here. your friend in Sparks.....wayne!
