Dude I’m loving all these videos! For sure a crazy amount of work but the viewers appreciate it.
I appreciate that!
@@nomadicfanatic thanks for the hard work and keeping us entertained
@@Pinballgeek49 LETS SEE EM!!!!!!!!!
@@Pinballgeek49 well start making videos then. We are all waiting in anticipation of what you have to offer.
@@Pinballgeek49 where are your videos then? I can guarantee your iPhone won’t stand up to his equipment bro.
Unbelievable, you just can't get away from the rain. Seems to me you need to head to the southwest. We could definitely use some of that rain here in California.
I was thinking the same thing. Here in Lakewood, CA we're on two day limit depending on your address. Ends in even number, you get to water 10 minutes Thursday and Sunday before 9AM or after 4PM.
Always put suitcase in tub until you check it out room for bed bugs. Less likely to contaminate your suitcase if they are there. I love seeing people being spontaneous. Enjoying you updates!
Yup, Flight attendants do this in known bed bug hot spots.
The rain is a good thing, Eric. Be thankful its not a dry drought all over the country taking out crops of food, animals, and lives!
In the next episode of Vlogmas in July 2022 edition: to offset rising fuel prices Eric hires himself out as a Rainmaker to the drought stricken areas!
no need to apologize, going along with you on your journey is fun, crazy, and entertaining...keep up the good work, and can't wait to see your babies again!
Eric is a storm magnet!
We need to test this out off to the Desert Eric ! lol
I saw others have commented the same, but I was going to suggest you might visit some of the areas that are in severe drought right now. Love watching whatever it is you're doing! Very excited to get a video every day this month! Safe travels!!!
Rain man, perfect new nickname!
When he's bummed because of rain, he reminds me of Eeyore with the little cloud following him around! 🌧
I’m glad you are going to be in better spirits with Tater tot
I don't care what theme your vids are, they are always entertaining and tbh, I'm really enjoying this offbeat series, it's a nice change. Keep living the dream Eric :D
well as long as you're being honest...
@@michaelcohen9363 ha :)
Please plan a Smart Car rally meet up sometime in Western Washington, that would be awesome!! 😃
Get extra rest, coffee, drive safe and be blessed. ❤
Nice! That's some good MPG, not bad at all. And you are still the master of rain!
We are driving through Missouri now...still raining. Lol Headed home to Tennessee! We just spent the last two weeks capturing video in South Dakota. Beautiful part of the country to make some video out of! Safe Travels ❤️
Eric you could make a fortune being a rain whisper going from one state to another
They need you in the SW... badly.
Amen😂
That lightning was close!! The side of the covered wagon reminded me of the Punisher logo. Enjoying the vids, please don't push beyond your limits driving.
This is exciting a whole month this helps with my depression so much thx so much Eric Tara and Opie 😊😊😊
Aaaw love yow, I hope your depression eases
Glad to see ur keeping in the holiday spirit during these Christmas in July vlogs. 😉
You need to travel with me, I never get rain! 😀How many mpg? I get 40-42 at 60-65. Do you go faster than 65 in that? I feel a wobble and less stability if I do. Nice, just heard you say 43 mpg! Still sucks filling up for $50 with premium gas in Washington.
I can always count on you Eric. Love how you take control with what you CAN do about your situation. I miss the fuzzy butts too. See ya tomorrow!!❤
Eric I’m enjoying this road adventure! Miss the kitties but this is fun!❤️
Love your cheerful intro and Christmas fuzziness!! 🎄🎅🏼
Please come to Texas, we SO need the rain. So bring it and stay as long as you like :)
Yes! Sooo many days of 100°+ temps! 🥵
Yes, we do need rain here near North Padre Island but about the time he would get here we will probably get a hurricane and be wishing the drought was back.
Suggestion...go spend a week or so at Lake Mead.
🛷 Merry July HoHoHo Eric 🛷
Hey Eric - If it starts raining again upon your return to Washington then you should consider heading wherever rain is badly needed as you must be a rainmaker. ☔️
Eric hires himself out as a Rainmaker to the drought stricken areas!
What a major freak thunderstorm!!! I can understand not being able to sleep. ❤️😊❤️ love seeing you happy. Looking forward to next video. 💖😍💖 love to you and the kitties. Stay safe.
We'dBee grateful for the ride along. Bee Free & Bee You!🐝🐝🤙🤙
Rain sure loves you. I'm glad you're not letting it put a hold on your travels. Its fun and exciting to see what happens next. Your videos are so entertaining. Be safe in your travels!
Eric, Come back to Texas, we need the rain. Thanks for the videos, be safe.
This is part of your summer adventure too. You and rain...too bad you aren't coming through Texas as we could use the rain. Safe travels.
Think we need to give you a secondary name, "The Rainmaker". That was some storm, drive safe.
Nice vid. You are living life to the fullest 👍
Life is a short period of light in between periods of eternal darkness. We should all live life as wide as possible.
Please swing by Colorado some time SOON..... we must have rain! You are the RAIN MAN, Eric. 😀
It rains everywhere except Lake Mead..
Great Video; with help from my little campervan, no longer needed to check into Motel 6 or any motel for the last four years !! 😁😁😁
Love these videos!! Thanks for your hard work, can’t be easy drive and editing!👍🏻😊safe travels!
Eric, man... you have a rain curse on you or something. There's an old comic strip called 'Lil' Abner", by Al Capp, and one of the characters was a guy named Joe Btfsplk. He was a well-meaning guy but also "The World's Worst Jinx", and he always had a small, dark, rain cloud over his head that symbolized his perpetual Bad Luck.
You may remember me from when I had that Karaoke Show at the RTR a few years ago. I'm still full-timin' and I've been really blessed with good weather. I hope your weather luck changes for you.
Pissing into an empty Gatorade bottle at 80mph while in the driver's seat is pretty difficult. Did it once. Won't do it again.
I like your smile! Glad your better now!
You're doing good Eric, It's great to see you happy👍🙂
Don’t put your bag on the bed. You can pick up bedbugs and give them a ride to your bed!
Loving Vlogmas in July. I love the thunderstorm.. And you are not missing much in Washington we are back to overcast skies and possibly ran. Lol Enjoy your trip.
Yahoo a nice light storm. Lol Really no fridge that sux. Good luck Eric in your travels. Lucky for Tater Tot.
Eric just think you could become the first RUclipsr to do a video everyday for a year. Doooo it!!
I love sleeping to the sound of rain..... But that Thunder is a different story
For years now the only real rain I see is on one of your vids. Thanks, at least I won’t forget what it (rain) is supposed to look like!
I agree here in partched Az
So glad to see tatertot again. It feels more like this channel should be. 🥳
It's like you're a magnet for rain it follows you wherever you go.
Lovin' these daily videos! Adventure!!
Eric, please come to California…we desperately need your rain 🌧 🌧 🌧 !!! Glad you were safe in the motel during the lightning storm.
That was a fun video Eric. My travels are on hold right now, so its really nice to “ride along with ya!” I agree on getting a better hotel. 😂
Be safe and safe travels see yah Eric and Tara an Opie hugs always
Jeez Eric, you just aren’t getting a break from the rain 🌧. That was a loud thunder! Look for ships in a storm next time 🤣👽👽👽
Hey Rain Man... Come visit us, we have a drought situation. I hate lightning... That was crazy... There's no way I could sleep through that. Safe travels Eric. 👍😁
Hello, loving this travel blog, hey doesn’t mater as long as we can follow your adventures. Love and hugs from your Aussie nomad friends ❤️🤗😊
OK Eric, here’s another crazy suggestion. Instead of getting a trailer to haul big enough with your car and bike how about getting a motor home big enough with the garage to hold the car and bike. Safe travels my friend and stay wet.
😻 Toy hauler rig would be awesome, if gas wasn't so dang high! 🤑
This is turning into the best month ever if we are gonna get a video every day
WA has been beautiful since you left...don't worry Eric, you will bring the rain with you back to WA...😆
Rain is following you. So glad you have your car. Love your videos.
Eric, please come down to Southern Caif...we need some rain badly!!!!
Glad that you are getting the car.
I estimate nine and a half days at Lake Mead and you'll have it refilled.
"Good grief" you are a rain magnet 💋 But we love you and love Flogmas-take care Eric. See ya tomorrow 🙏🌻👌😎
Please come to Northern California, we NEED the rain!
Very WET and COOL in Alberta, Canada!! Banff opened Summer skiing at Sunshine Village.
Please send some of that rain down to Texas! Nine hours? You crossed 5 states and still driving in Texas. Motel 6 is a good chain.
Come back to California, Eric, so you can bring us some rain! Yep, my sister had a fun, sunny day in Bainbridge Island yesterday!
Eric you are the rainmaker!😂
Your comment made me laugh out loud.. ... ✌❤
Enjoy the experience. I always love a good road trip.
😞 Everywhere you go, the rain follows you. Safe travels.
Eric, this was a fun one to watch. 🤣 I think we all jumped at the big thunder !
Most motels have ice makers somewhere on the property. I've usually got at least one Walmart bag shoved in a nook or cranny of my van -- many times when travelling I just filled the bag with ice and dropped it in the sink with some beverages tucked inside to chill. And if I needed the sink I just lifted out the bag and put it to the side. Easy -- and with the "cleanliness" of motel rooms these days, I bet my Walmart bag is a lot more sanitary than a motel ice bucket or even the sink. 😬
Yeah, it's a lot of work, but I know many of your followers are truly enjoying vlogmas! Thanks for doing this. Safe travels.
Sack O' Ice in the sink! 🧊 Clever idea! 😺
i just got home from Missouri. it was beautiful all week. when i left it started raining.
Eric, welcome back to the NW I've waited along time for you to come home
send some of that rain south. it is dry as a bone in Deep East Texas (45 mins N of Polk County). Will enjoy the daily postings. Have an awesome summer.
The GAS PRICE went up TEN CENTS in the first seconds of his intro!!!! !! 🤣🤯
No joke!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🇺🇸
Poor Eric! That cloud always seems to follow you! Lol! Northern Cali needs major rain!
Reminds me of Eeyore & the little rain cloud that followed him around! Oh, bother! 🌧
Kind of seems like the storms kind of follow you keep it safe
Very interesting video!! The thing is in these trying times, we have to be flexible. You can show us how!! 😉
that CRACK when you said somebody brought their motorcycle would have me thinking its a sign of some sort aarrrggghhh.
Come to Kentucky. We're in a drought! Send your rain!
The giant Covered Wagon is waiting to be someone’s base camp!
Wish you'd bring some of that rain to So. Calif.
Is Miranda still around and if so is it getting repaired anytime soon?
Just think how everything needs the rain 🌧 and also you will have more fun now. The rain is following you, Eric.
PLEASE COME TO ARIZONA. Maybe the rain will follow you. We are desperate for some of that wet stuff.
I didn't even get a coffee maker or mini fridge at the Flamingo in Vegas last time I was there
Last time I stayed in a Motel 6, I found a curly hair UNDER my pillow & also on the edge of the bathtub. Never again... 😷
You know the rain will stop in Washington state as soon as you get back. 😉 in the early 90s, I was stationed at Whidbey Island and lived in Oak Harbor. Had a drought.
Watching a few of your old videos, and I love the ones you did that were themed, the Lincoln Highway, especially the museums.
Also, love your DIY vids too.
You really go out of your way, and are an exceptional RUclipsr.
Wish everyone appreciated what you go through.
Miss Jax in the videos 😐
Freya is the Asgardian goddess of fertility. She appears as a supporting character of Thor. Thor is upset you left FreeDa! 😂
I hope you didn't have any neighbors in that hotel lol. Safe travels back to the kitties!!
Washington weather 7/2/2022 65 high today cloudy skies no rain. 😁
I love those Midwestern thunderstorms. Nothing to mess with. You are lucky you had parked for the night already.
With both Lake Powell and Lake Mead at Dead Pool, some of that rain will be quite welcome in this Southwest.
Love the lightening fire works :)
