    Amazing handsome looking dog! I feel like I know you too. I’m Patty and your adventures really help me learn and picture myself out traveling, I started a bucket list in my mind. For U.S. travel. A lot of people have that one last family issue to end so we all can just move on and it’s usually worth the wait. ☕️👍🏻🇺🇸 🌵🌹

    Golly, my heart skipped a beat for y’all- hearing of Kelly’s mom and of your uncle’s passing.. being acquainted with affects in spirit, soul and body of that valley of the shadow of death and the sweet relief of mercy when being supernaturally comforted. Psalm 23: 4 💝

    My condolences and empathy to Kelly for her loss. This is never an easy time in ones life.
    I too lost my mother (whom I was her live in caregiver for the last 12 years) on February 22 this year (which happens to also be my daughters birthday). But my mother was 88yo and her death was not a surprise, so I could only imagine Kelly's pain and remorse.
    Once the house is sold and the estate and trust is settled. I'll be hitting the road, going fulltime around the end of June, so this is good timing for this vid.
    Been following you Brian for about 8 yrs now and never miss a single vid, I'm just not the kind to comment often. Hopefully when I hit the road I can meet you at one of your gatherings. Keep up the good work and my thoughts and prayers are with both you and Kelly, especially with this major event in your lives.

    So sorry to hear this news. Keeping you both in my thoughts. And Hobbes too.
    Interesting to see the expenses and how you handle increased costs. People ask what MPG my Lazy Daze gets, and it's about 8.5-9. But I tell them it's my house. It gets good mileage for a house! Like you, I don't do near the miles yearly as when I was working. So gas is not my biggest expense.
    Anyway, take care and hang in there.

    ❤Always so sad when you lose a loving parent. . The most difficult time will be the weeks and months to come when the shock passes and reality really sets in. I am so pleased you and Kelly have Hobbs. You will all be of great comefort to each other. Grief is the result of loving someone and when you lose them there's no place for it to go. Its a process we each work through on our own timeline. Just being there and supporting each other is essential. Prayer and hugs being sent your way. 😢

    Please share my deepest condolences to Miss Kelly and of course you too. Lost my Mom a few years ago and of course death is hard but it was harder watching the decline over the last few months. Her body was just slowly shutting down. Very thankful that there was very little pain. Brian is so truthful when he thanks everyone!! I have been fortunate to do his meetup over the last two years and he is exactly who he looks like in TH-cam world. Good luck on the boat detailing from a three decades boater.

    Dang your organized. I myself don't keep track of anything. I live and travel seasonally as cheaply as I'm comfortable without missing out on anything. I inherited my mother's love for driving along with my inability to stay in one place longer than 3-4 days makes for a lot of money spent on fuel. Your channel was one that finally got me mobile and exploring outside the north east.

    Hey brother, finally met you and Kelly in Quartsite this year, after following you online for years (and your Bad Axe, MI t-shirt which you just so happened to be wearing when I met you in person!!!). You are both super awesome people, and I hope our paths cross again someday. You will always have a place to base camp here in beautiful northern Michigan! Your sticker has a cherished spot on my rig. Thoughts and prayers to Kelly. Safe travels my friend.

    Inflation is settling down. As an example in the Las Vegas area, I just bought 18 eggs for $1.99 I know that’s anecdotal, but it’s certainly better than the 10 bucks that used to cost me.

    @jenniferm761 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thoughts to you, Kelly and Hobbs. Thank you for your diligent and detailed budget information. A real service you give those of us on low, fixed, incomes. Try buying "seconds" for fresh fruits and veggies at local farmer's markets and CSA -type farms to save $$ on food. Also, consider buying bulk meats/dairy from a grass-fed producer and having box shipped to you (monthly) then freeze. Might prove economical to increase your freezer capacity or rent freezer space from a local wild game butcher. The higher the nutrient-rich foods you buy, the less you have to eat to stay healthy. Find a wild, raw, unprocessed honey producer and start thinking of honey as food. I've been adding it to my chaga tea and lemon water and have discovered it IS a wonderful food ( and medicine ). You can also order fish to be mailed to you and freeze it. Nettles are a super food, including protein and you should find a lot growing wild in Washington. Sending you three my good wishes.

    Earnest prayers for Kelly. I lost my parents: first, to Alzheimer’s within 3 months of each other. Second, my dad passed away 3 years after placing both of them in a senior care facility, and my mom passed away 3 years after my dad. Losing a parent that you love is always very hard, in many ways, especially when it’s unexpected. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
