I hope you guys got to experience some of this fantastic weather we've been having. It was 100 degrees yesterday, it was down to 76-78 degrees by 11 at night. Just crazy for Texas. Safe Trip guys. Can't wait to see the videos of the Build there!
Love the Smokey and the Bandit reference! My prim and proper grandma took us to see that at the theater when it came out. She was horrified by Jackie Gleason's mouth. We were all laughing though.
You sold your excavator, but it wouldn't be hard to clean out excess foilage from your pond with a simple rope boom and your tractor if you ever wanted to thin it out some in the future. Looks like a healthy looking pond though.
OMG, WHATABURGER. I'm having a craving now. Had to do it to us living in the Philippines, missing some of those luxuries. I truly miss my fattening fast food joints... lol
Great video tell Mike that with that kind of driving he should be a race car driver and I hope y’all plane took off before the cops caught up 🤣🤣 Safe travels
Welcome home guys, hope you had no delays in travel. Japan has been getting bad weather almost all the time you have been away. For info. Easter sunday next year is April 20, so avoid travelling any time near then, they rack up the travel prices!!
@@TexasFilipino lol. Yup. Thanks for taking the time to reply James. Was concerned about an article about Iloilo city " sinking", said parts are sinking at about an inch every 4 to 5 years, interesting read, can send 🔗 nk if you are interested?! Best regards to all down there
Well I definitely enjoyed our trip to Texas , I hope you got much of what you needed done . Definitely looking forward to seeing and hearing more about your beautiful Iloilo and the beach house. Definitely enjoy learning new things from you and your family .
We sent a 20 ft container with all our belongings (2 Bed Room) from the UAE to here. everything down to coat hangers and clothes pegs.. I said to Chic ... if we use it there we will use it in the Philippines
Hi, you two! Reflections... 1 month vacation back there means still in a tax-free status for personal income... 👍 This is what I've done for 25+ years now... It's worth it as the savings are massive... 🥳 Trip Review... Looks like this trip was a successful one... The Balikbayan box shipping price is actually cheaper than here in Dubai... We paid $150 per box the last go-round... I'm getting more ready for sending now, too... It looks like 4 to 5 more from here at least... In Germany, I have 18 pallets of stuff, but a lot I'll be recycling or selling... Plus... In the USA, there's catering equipment plus a race car (I'll sell that) to deal with... A souped up Ford Mustang with a wrap branding of our old drink we were selling to the military... A lot we'll not need, so also downsizing as I hit each area... Anyway... The farm is looking spiffy... Mission accomplished! Looking forward... Once most of the projects are done, you'll be able to travel... The toy hauler will be ideal for that... More good times ahead! Wrapping up... See you back in The Philippines! Hope you had safe travels and enjoyed Japan! Let's see, how does that go? "Ni Hau Ma...and Ohio Go Zymus" etc. (spelling?)...Used to speak a few words... Nowadays, with the mobile apps, it's not such an issue... TC! 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
Ooops... Wrong country! Think that was Chinese (Ni Hao Ma part anyway)... Should have been: "Ohio Go Zymus, Genki Das" or something like that... I am getting too old for this stuff...Forgetting... At least my German is still good (2d language, pretty proficient in that language after 50 years there)... The rest are bits and pieces, used for ordering beer and food, taxis, etc.!)... So... Tagalog next... 🥸 😂
Really appreciate your channel; do you have a facebook page? I’m a texas Filipino also. Home base in San Antonio and go the Philippines few times a year.
@@thetexasfilipina1609 ok at least your dogs are safe while you are here at the philippines .... keep safe on your travel coming back here in the philippines...
I think you guys accomplished a lot and I hope that you leave feeling like the time and money spent was an accomplishment overall. Sometimes people see you sell things and get false impressions of the wealth or whatever word it is. Maybe sometimes they should see also the outlays, and you have shown them that for sure. some people don't have this experience in life of trading one thing of value for another, leading to false impressions much like every american is rich in the Philippines. Right now people have a major opportunity in the economic cycles to trade one asset for another. It is not yet upon us but the time is near. Enjoy your channel immensly..... Michael
I sent in a comment a little earlier . I came back to edit it and i can not find it now .Oh well maybe you can find it on your side . These U tube people are so WOKE There is no telling what they did with it . Isnt U Tube so wonderful !!!!
Have a good flight James and Melinda.
Safe travels.

Someone spent a lot of time pondering on the pond. Lost in thoughts,...realizing how much he is going to miss the homestead.
This is Sherrif Buford T. Justice of Texas. I'm in high speed pursuit!!!!
Bandit and Froggy over and out!
It never feels like it's enough time when you go or, at least that's how I feel. That works both ways. God bless and stay safe.
Texas is gonna miss you! I hope you are safe back in Phil checking your little water pond!
Quite the drive to the airport 😂😂😂😂
I recognize that, Rockwell new bridge. Just drove over yesterday.
🐓🎺🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🚂💆♀️🌅🎣🎩What do you call a happy cowboy?

Hi, you two!
Reflections...
1 month vacation back there means still in a tax-free status for personal income... 👍

The Balikbayan box shipping price is actually cheaper than here in Dubai...
We paid $150 per box the last go-round...

The farm is looking spiffy... Mission accomplished!
Looking forward...
Once most of the projects are done, you'll be able to travel...
The toy hauler will be ideal for that... More good times ahead!

See you back in The Philippines! Hope you had safe travels and enjoyed Japan!
Let's see, how does that go?

So... Tagalog next... 🥸
😂
i had a monday only, 5 dollar burger and fries from coaches in mt. airy, nc today. the meat is at least an inch thick.
Had to laugh about how you discourage people from borrowing your trailer 😂.
With all your projects in Iloilo, I bet you wish you could put that tractor in a balikbayan box.
Hello..sana mka uwi den kami one day
What type of fish are stocked in your pond James? Does it always maintain water even in the drought years?
African catfish and bass
whats the cost and time difference between air or sea shipping
I AM kind of wondering if the mice were playing, since the Cats were in Texas.
While the cats away,the mice will play lol
why are you assuming that? I'm not a cat and they aren't mice!
@@TexasFilipino I hope u don’t think I am serious. It’s an old American saying. Have a sense of humor.
It’s hotter in Texas than in the Philippines?!
Yes
👍
