Hi, I'm Rick and I (usually) live in a bus. Yup, I'm one of "them". Living just outside of the proverbial box. Adventure, wonder, and all that. (Yea, I'm a little bit ADHD and I kinda need constant stimulation).

This was a fun video to make. While sitting and being miserable in the heat, I just decided to wing a video. No planning, no outline, no thought. I just turned the camera on and started sharing.

It’s 95° in the desert at 6 o’clock at night. Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter. And the good bus Huckleberry has no air-conditioning.
Not complaining. Just trying to understand my life choices. 😂

I had been putting off a project for some time. For some reason it just intimidated me. But I also knew that if I distracted myself from the task and did it with a friend, it would get done and life would be so much better in Huckleberry-Land. Well, it worked. (Yay!)

Good Morning Everybody! This is our "Almost Last Day" in Baja. We're sitting midway to San Felipe on our way back to the states in ... honestly I don't know the name of this place. The store at the end of the dirt road is called Rancho Grande, and we're on a beach, if that helps. LOL!

Tonight’s Baja Beverage is brought to you by vodka and Fresca. Yes, that lovely concoction that will bring a smile to your lips and a hangover in your morning.
Seriously, couldn’t you imagine this every night? I seriously don’t want to leave.

Not to brag but these are my opposing views today. We're parked on the beach at La Gringa in the town of Bahia de Los Angeles in Baja California.
This is absolutely one of our favorite places in Baja. So peaceful. And ... I think the roads are even worse this year, and that's saying something. :-)

So we're doing it again, traveling through Baja. Only this time it's only for a week (boo hoo). But as I woke up this morning I suddenly remembered something.
I remembered "Baja Time". Time to slow the %#$^ down and enjoy life.
Stay tuned for your Morning Baja Updates!

My best performing video was titled Isn't Baja Dangerous?. Fear sells and I wanted to do a bit of a serious-not-serious look at the subject, because we see what we look for. If we focus on what could go wrong, we're not enjoying what could go right.

In just three days, we're going to be back in ... BAJA!
Granted, it's just for a week, but to say we're excited is an understatement. The countdown begins!

So gone are the days of laptops perched precariously on laps, wiggling throughout an entire movie because your legs go to sleep. Welcome to 1920! :-)

Dear @cnn.com ,
I will never sign up for your subscription news service. Even at $4 a month, it's simply not worth it. The Guardian has so much more "actual news" and they only "request" that you support them. No paywalls for less than stellar articles. So ... it's been fun, but bye bye.

What the %#$^ time is it now?
We've been on "Arizona Time" for weeks now and suddenly today we're ... well, WE remain unchanged, but everyone else is different?
Because Arizona time doesn't ever change, we don't get the extra daylight hours? That sucks. :-)

Yesterday I wrote a Patreon post about minimalism ... or technically "Why It's OK To Own and Not Own Stuff". You see, Nikki and I are kinda opposites. The bus bedroom remodel was mostly to help her with her stuff, and I wanted to express my side of the equation. LOL!

Bedroom Remodel! We love our bedroom but hate the way we set up storage. So we're mid-fix right now. Wood has been purchased and cut. Stuff moved elsewhere in the bus to create work space (and OMG how much stuff do we have??!!). And today the building begins! I can't wait to share it with you.

Skies are seriously overcast and our house batteries are only 30%. No way to fill them without extra help. Normally I would use the generator but I already stored 1.5k watts in a power station, so why not just feed it back into the Bluetti?
