Ha! Thanks for validating my feeling like a sitting duck alone in the woods! Minivans aren’t the most intimidating vehicle. Prius, Prius beats us out for non intimidating, but that’s about it! Happy you got your van back! Yay!
I’m so glad you have your van back and in good working order. 🥳 It’s definitely time to get Olive a booster for her seat so she can see out the window.✨ I agree that a minivan is more insecure than a big van. Kelly is right about that.👍
You were within 10 miles of me at the dog park in Montrose. As i do still have an RV dump location at my new place, Old Hippieland one of these days you should stop by and say hello. That is of course if you are back this way again. You need your Covered Wagon to be happy. Angry Old HIppie Hermit Peace.
Hope you have videos coming up of Ausias' party-can't get enough!! What a wonderful group of people/awesome outfits & everyone having a great time. 🙏✌🌎💞
Take care wondering Jimmy. Great to see you back in your van. Yep, life and the world is sort of off at times now, but we will be ok. Chin up, Jimmy, lets see Arizona . Hugs, smiles. Thanks for your videos.
Nothing like sleeping in comfortable surroundings glad you got your van fixed sorry it took so long Y'all take care and be safe Jimmy give Olive ahead scratch for me and will see you soon
🧡🧡👏🏻👏🏻The relief in your voice says it all! So happy you’re back home, too. I know it’s a delayed video upload since you were at Aussia’s birthday party, but great to see you relaxed and grateful. Happy Fall! I’d send you a pic of my beautiful dogwood tree adorned with fall leaves but can’t via youtube. Kisses to sweet Olive. ✌🏻🥰🍁🍂
Wandering Jimmy, Congrats on getting the van back! I can tangibly sense your joy and relief. Speaking of minivan life being hard, have you heard from Kelly Doyle and Sofie recently? She hasn't posted anything for a month and I wonder how she's doing - things were kind of difficult in her last few videos. I miss seeing her and Sophie.
WOW!!! A van dweller I didn't know about! Thank you for your video, I have a part time van nomad life and I live in CO!! Good to see there are people who do this w/out driving all the way to Quartzite, which is MY plan for December! Have never been there, van life is new for me.
Glad you got your van back. I rode across country in a semi for ten months and i was used to riding high. Adjusting to a car took a little time. There is no place like home.
I'm so pleased for you .your van is your home so I can understand how much you miss it ,it must have been horrible .loads of love and hugs to you Jimmy you are such a lovely man with a very sweet dog .thank you for showing us all your gorgeous country xx🤗
So nice to see you home. Olive's happy to be back also. Yips that was quite a road to test your transmission - AT NIIGHT. Well your now safe. Let's get moving in a positive way!😛 🐾🐾🚘
You go where Olive will lead you........you need the exposure on your gentle soul, and Olive needs to get out and explore the planet. Peace be with you brother and encourage Olive to show you, her human, the way forward.....
Great to see you tucked safely back into YOUR Van!!! You weathered the repair challenges with grace and courage as we cheered you and Olive on from the sidelines!!! May the coming days be filled with beautiful, peaceful scenery as you venture toward Fall destinations.
What a great idea for a dog park...way more interesting for both dog and person. Probably not as fun for folks that don't have a good recall. Hello from Lombard, IL. by the way...!
I am so happy for you and Olive today. I feel you are so much safer and much more comfortable. Hopefully you go back with the tribe and settle with them for a bit. You deserve some down time.
What did the dealer do for repairs, parts and labor cost? Glad you finally got your van back...I can tell how happy you are to get your home back...Thank you for the video...Have a blessed day....
So happy that you are back in your own home now. I love traveling along with you Jimmy. Always nice and peaceful. You are really good at filming. Always love the beautiful flowers. I would not have wanted to be riding down that road in the dark with no guard rails.
Before you mentioned where you were going, I recognized you were headed for the dog park. I guess we've all spent enough time in Colorado. Thanks for including us. Happy you have your home back. Relief on your face shows. Now get on down the road. Happy trails to both of you.
Glad you got your van fixed. Just for your info, you can get snow and ice at any elevation in Colorado, starting the first of September, except maybe in the extreme southern parts of the state.
Jeez, you’d think that after all that money you spent and the length of time they’ve had it they could at least give your van a courtesy wash and wipe down the dust on the inside. The good news is you’ve got your home back...woohoo. Happy for you and Olive, Jimmy. Safe travels.
Lou Horvath ...Yep...and everyone watched out for each other’s kids. I can’t tell you how many times I got yelled at, using full name...that meant it was some serious business...”Don’t make me have to tell yo’ Mama/Daddy.”. I agree...great times {sigh}
I'm going to defend minivans here. I can understand you wanting your van back. And I can also understand you wanting more room than the mini van provides. But I don't get where you think the minivan is less safe. First of all, when it comes to stealth, nothing beats a minivan. I once owned a Toyota Sienna mini van. I could park just about anywhere, any normal parking space and any parking structure. I had all my back windows limo tinted. In addition, I had window blockers that fit each window in my van, including the front windows. It was reflectix on one side and black out on the other. I installed window deflectors that allowed me to crack the windows at night for ventilation without anyone really knowing the windows were slightly open. I had a couple of USB powered fans to keep air circulating to minimize condensation. I spent many nights in my mini van and I'm sure nobody knew. My van came with the all wheel drive option, which not only made it safer to drive in snow, but gave me better traction when I left the pavement as well. I also had a lift kit installed which gave me 10 inches of ground clearance. That's more than any SUV except the Jeep Wrangler. Inside, I had a cot, an ice chest, various camping gear, even a cassette porta potty so I didn't have to exit my vehicle at night when nature called. Whenever you felt unsafe in a mini van you just crawled into the front seat, started it up and took off! And being that it was a Toyota, I felt confident about it's reliability. I never had a break down that put me at risk. The only reason I sold it was I wanted a more off road capable vehicle so I could get into more remote areas, away from people. I now own a Jeep and I've slept in that too.
Your thoughts about comfort and safety while living on wheels was helpful. I'm in a minivan because I've owned it since 2012 and it suits my needs. It is outfitted so as to be flexible, so if one of my adult children wants to borrow it for a road trip, I whip out my gear and install the seats and they have an eight passenger van ready to go. I've kept the second row passenger seat handy for when I'm transporting a grandkid who needs to be in a car seat in the backseat. I was just in Colorado for the weekend (up from NM) and enjoyed the colors and mountains. As for safety, I moochdocked in front of friends' house in Longmont one night, spent one night in Pike National Forest at Horseshoe campground (only the cost of a coffee with my senior discount) and spent a night in a Covid-19 safe motel in Salida when I needed secure internet for an important Zoom event. I realized I felt safe in each place, but my dog Blanco barked the most in the motel!!! He loves to travel and is great company. I realized on this trip when I had the option of boondocking or paying a campground fee, I felt more secure in a campground. Food for thought, everyone has different needs. Glad you are safe back in your van.
You can buy Anti-Fog wipes from Walmart for your interior windows from RainX. I carry a raincoat and a $500 Eddie Baur goose down coat with a built in hood. Olive likes the minivan.
Glad you two are back in your home. You were funny in this video. Yeah sleeping in a vehicle must suck. Your tall van is perfect. I hope everything got screwed back together good. The next time you go for an oil change ask the people to go over everything and check for loose areas and things that rattle. Yeah if you ever want a water repellent item you can just buy a can of 3M spray for fabrics. It works so good. I sprayed my new couches with it and it lasted forever. It will work on clothes, tarps and tents too. Wow Wow that mountain climb in the dark was so scary. No guard rails and so high up. Well, onward now.
I would rather take a thinner waterproof shell then layer under that as needed. You get too hot sometimes with a big heavy insulated parka. I like to invest in the best membrane I can afford then mix and match with the layers.
Jimmy, I can't begin to tell U how Happy I am 4 U that U got Ur Van back!!! Ur face was Shining W/Joy & Happiness so I know that Ur @ Peace now! And once U get back down W/The Tribe U'll be even more content, God didn't create us to be alone, We R Social beings, Yes we do have times when we need R own space when we need to regroup & clear out the cob webs & put R spirits in check.... But once that short season is done we always go & seek out the friends & family members & the comfort of the nearness of those that we're accustomed to... Even though these other people are not Family members by blood, they often feel more like family then R own real family, @ least that is what I've found.. I must be a tad bit sleepier then I thought, as when I re-read what I've already written I'm all over the place, sorry about that, Ur photo's R over the top & the flowers R bright & beautiful, Thank U Jimmy for all that U do for us. Ur 1 in a Million! I love U & Olive very much, along W/ALL the other tribe members.
Just say next time I go to Colorado it won't be so unlucky because you already payed your Colorado gods dues. Always and never statements are illogical. Thanks for your Vlog I enjoy seeing you and Olive.
Glad you got your van back. How long did it take for repairs? I have a dodge mini van like you were driving and the transmission is slipping, at 25,000 miles. They are known for trans problems.
Ha! Thanks for validating my feeling like a sitting duck alone in the woods! Minivans aren’t the most intimidating vehicle. Prius, Prius beats us out for non intimidating, but that’s about it! Happy you got your van back! Yay!
I like functional, not fancy. Happy for you that you got your house back. I would not want to be finding an unknown campsite at night.
So happy you have your van back! Olive has the sweetest face, she's full of love!
So glad to see you at Ausia's back in your van. Safe travels
I’m so glad you have your van back and in good working order. 🥳 It’s definitely time to get Olive a booster for her seat so she can see out the window.✨ I agree that a minivan is more insecure than a big van. Kelly is right about that.👍
he got his van back over two weeks ago. Jimmy insists being two - three weeks behind in his sad videos.
i know I'm pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Axton Heath Meh I use flixportal. You can find it through google :) -joshua
@Joshua Yousef thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!!
@Axton Heath glad I could help :D
Yay you got your van back! Glad it was still covered under warranty! So sweet the way you always take Olive to the dog parks!
So happy you have your home back!
You were within 10 miles of me at the dog park in Montrose. As i do still have an RV dump location at my new place, Old Hippieland one of these days you should stop by and say hello.

👍👍💜
So happy for you. Thank you for the pictures of flowers and the park
I'm so happy you got your van back and it's running good. Stay safe and God bless you and Olive. Much love to you both.

Please get her a car seat. My dog is not nervous when she’s in the seat able to lookout the front window. Love your Chanel. Safe travels.
I think he has one for her, and she like it. However she is a nervous dog.
So happy you 2 are back in your house safe and sound. 🐾🐾♥️♥️🐾🐾
Beautiful Flowers! Mule Deer are all over Colorado! So glad your Van is working again!

Congrats Jimmy. God bless and keep you
Hi Jimmy . How is your back feeling now ? Hope your feeling better .
I would rather take a thinner waterproof shell then layer under that as needed. You get too hot sometimes with a big heavy insulated parka. I like to invest in the best membrane I can afford then mix and match with the layers.
Jimmy, I can't begin to tell U how Happy I am 4 U that U got Ur Van back!!!
Ur face was Shining W/Joy & Happiness so I know that Ur @ Peace now!

Besides pet stores, other businesses that often permit nice dogs are Lowes and Home Depot.
So happy for you..Now enjoy your travels!Meet up with friends
I know it feels good to be back in your van!
yeaaaaaaa, got your wheel estate back!!!!!
Thank you
Tally-Ho Jimmy...Continue with the great adventures with faithful Olive and your Van...Cheers from Maine
Yay you got ur van back awesome video see yah Jimmy and olive hugs always 😍
Oh my scary drive. Glad you have your van back!
A new transmission? Already? Hope it was under warranty.
Just say next time I go to Colorado it won't be so unlucky because you already payed your Colorado gods dues. Always and never statements are illogical. Thanks for your Vlog I enjoy seeing you and Olive.
Really happy you got your van back i hope they didnt pull your eyes out wth the bill best wishes be safe from the uk x
Glad you got your van back. How long did it take for repairs? I have a dodge mini van like you were driving and the transmission is slipping, at 25,000 miles.
