RV Repairs | Volunteering | Visit Doctor | Snorkeling Guayabitos (RV Life in Mexico) |

So what we're preparing for is Caleb's birthday. We're going into Guayalpitos and we are going to negotiate with the people to take us out on a boat out to Coral Island to do a little snorkeling. We're going to go do my birthday. So as soon as we got on the beach, the guy says he'd take us out to Coral Island for 200 pesos each. That's 800 pesos round trip. I don't know. I said I would go find someone else. And he says, okay, you go find someone else. There's some negotiating in the sand. I drew 600. He erased the six and he put seven. And then I was just trying to figure out what he was saying. And he said, okay, fine. 650. The plan is to see as many things possible, but I just want to let you know that Caleb is having an awesome birthday. Lots of things were getting thrown around. What are we going to do today? How is this going to go down? We're out of town. Is it going to be any good? Mucho gusto. No, mucho. I mean, there's more to come. I know it. Well, we're, uh, we're officially stranded on this Island. You can tell Tricia's pretty upset about it. We are ready to go though. Hey, you know what though? The kids, the boys did a really good job snorkeling. I was impressed. And it made me realize that when we start sailing and we start getting into spearfishing that like between the three of us, we are never going to go hungry. Yes. Yeah. Thank you. Good. That's good. You guys can take care of me and I'll take care of you. I'll make you food. Welcome back to another edition of this old RV on today's episode. We are doing two improvements. This is a 2016 Pacific coachworks, uh, 28 DBSS. And I can tell that right out of the manufacturing facility, they completely jacked up the front where they had a hard time getting the front to stay on. And so they, uh, their solution to this was to put about a hundred staples and cover it up with a sealant and rubber is complete. I mean, it's complete nonsense. But this, uh, I don't know the garbage whose company make this. So we're putting in longer screws about this long. We're going to put sealant in the screws. We're going to Mount that closer. We're going to reseal the whole area. But the second improvements that we're making, which again, I think should have been done in the manufacturer, but above the tires, there is a material above the wheels. Uh, so that basically when the rain and whatnot comes up, it's like a splash guard. It's a weather guard or something like this so that it doesn't rock the wood. Well, after a couple of blowouts, when you hit a blowout, that material rips and it creates, you know, it just, it comes apart. It should really be metal. So what we're doing here is we're adding a aluminum, basically a wheel wells, and we're going to, we're going to secure those two above the wheels and then we're going to seal that all. So it'll all be aluminum above the wheels. I think this is a really nice improvement to say all the great work he did. I offered him a water instead of 1250 pesos and he said, yes, I don't know English. I'm glad you're not charging me about a screw man. It'd be a fortune. Oh, maybe he thought, maybe he thought he was charging me by the screw. So we thought made more screws, the better, huh? You know what? Tell the factory to work right. What a Mexican had to do for you, for your country. It looks good though. You saw how bad it was before. So not only was it a potential water issue, but it's much better now. When Trish and I initially started talking with Bob and Shirley and we called and we called them to get information on what was the best way to get to Mexico and how to drive down and whatnot. They were just so helpful and then to partner up with them on the caravan to come down was just enormous. So Trish, at the end of the call said, geez, Shirley, this, uh, this has been so great. What can we do for you? And Shirley said, there's not much you can do for us. And then she says, Oh, wait, there is something that you could do for us. She said, we do this charity that we've been doing for the past seven years where we bring all of the clothes from the United States and Canada. And we go into these various communities to distribute the clothes to the community. If you could record that, if you can make a video of what we're doing so that we can spread the word and kind of show other friends and family where their clothes are going and kind of the difference that it's making. If you could record that, that would be great. So obviously the answer to that was yes. So here's a glimpse of the work that is now called the Mexican love express. I think it's amazing how they're giving all this stuff away that donated. Like you see in Arizona how there's like donation boxes and I don't really think that much about them except when you really come to Mexico and you see all this being distributed from all the donations. was five years old and lots of Americans came from Montana to Mexico and that's how I started seeing that little help. It would do a lot and I grew up seeing that and now I'm part of it. Today is pick up Tori day. So Trish, you're going down to do it with Caleb. It's going to be awesome. I'm going to, I miss her so much. You already know I'm going to say Amazon gifts, but I do miss her. So good talk. All right mom, what do you have to say about it all? I'm excited to go get my girl. I'm bringing my muscles with me. Somebody needs to carry, carry all of Tori's heavy bags. So we are I'm in the car now and we are going to go pick up Tori the airport. Then we're going to go chill at the beach and we're going to um, you know, just have a little fun day, you know, with Tori. Settle there in slowly. It's going to be good. Okay, so we are going with, no, we are at the airport right now currently and um, we are about to pick up Tori. Got back from home and unfortunately she feels like crud. So we gave a doctor a call and the directions went like this. There's two lights. Go one block past the light. Take a left, go up the street. You'll find my office. I was very nervous, but it happened exactly like she said. We found her office. So we're going to go in and make sure that Tori doesn't have like strep throat or something crazy. We have a prescription, so we're going to go, we're going to go kick this, whatever infection in her throat. We're going to go kick it in the butt. So that doctor's visit was that, yeah, we're going to kick it in the throat. That doctor's visit was very thorough, right? And very fast at the same time and a full checkup. It was an absolute full checkup and it was 300 pesos. You see these two cars back here? We just rode the back roads to come and release about a hundred turtles. This morning they were supposed to go out, but all the frigates, which are these big pterodactyl type birds came and started eating them. So we had to save them in these boxes and we're releasing them this evening when the birds are not around so we can save them. I'm so excited. It's the best way to spend a night ever. So we've lined up a bunch of chairs. We're going to release the turtles. They're going to go ahead and go right into the ocean. It's going to be awesome. In the top three of this new adventure trip thing. It's a magical, magical thing. I don't know how you'd say magical, but I do know that. Whoa, whoa, guys run for your life. Their life is not easy. Getting thrown into that the second you're born. And there were frigates, there were those birds that came back, but luckily they went away. So look at the waves dad. Whoa. You would see these massive, massive waves and inside the waves you would see these little black dots and it's all the turtles and some get to nice and swim and go out and some just get on top of the wave and plumble down. So it's a hard life for these guys. The best experience I got. I was a hero. I got to save turtles. Oh, there's a turtle. Is up. We hope you guys liked that video. There is still so much more of Mexico to come, but as some of you know, we are already back in Arizona because the channel does run a couple months behind and we are next week doing our first KYD meetup in Arizona, April 20th. And if you are in Arizona and you're thinking about doing something like that, hop on our Facebook page and Instagram. That's where we announced stuff like that. And if you don't live in Arizona and you think a meetup would be kind of cool, then hop on and like our Facebook page and Instagram page, which I'll link down there so that you guys can kind of be like kept up to date as to our meetup stuff and you can let us know where you are and maybe our pads will cross right on. So you need to go right there. Okay. We will catch you guys next weekend for another episode where we go into tequila Mexico and we start touring the tequila distilleries. It's gonna be awesome. Okay guys. Talk to you later.
