huh okay
good morning everyone eric here nomadic
fanatic uploading this video with some
nomad
internet later link in the video
description if you need some mobile
wi-fi
internet uh does this look weird with
the cars over there coming this way
uh leaving even leaving lacey actually
probably staying in lacey today
uh we're gonna go through this diverging
diamond thing
once again a completely different way
look at this
as we go all the way over to the left
side as if we're in a different country
it is the strangest thing ever guys i'm
telling you what
what do i do i go like this okay so i go
all the way
over here to go north on i-5 to seattle
that was weird is this not the strangest
thing ever okay anyway it
is the butt crack of dawn officially
there's that pesky sun right in my face
and my eyes i can't see a thing
um let's see here my tattoo is doing
really good
just put some more uh goop on it i'm
almost blinded here guys by the way
oh okay cool cool
and uh waiting for a phone call from
coombs rv still waiting on that
hydraulic motor part
hopefully any day now it's been almost a
week so
i expect that part to be in stock and
then it's just a matter of
uh essentially sitting at the shop and
and waiting patiently
i can't even see anything i'll get back
to you guys okay that's a little better
you see the fog out in the distance over
there it is
so creepy going to be doing something a
little different here not in lacey we're
the neighboring nisqually actually it's
a native american reservation
uh land out here still open to the
public and
whatnot but i think it's time to try
something brand new
man that sun is brutal in the morning
how about salmon fishing
i've never been guys i do have a salmon
pole though so uh
so that's that's what we're gonna it is
impossible to see the
i don't know if the camera lets you see
better but i
am just struggling to see where the road
goes
and that's brutal it's been a while
since i've been now over to this uh
train trestle fishing spot here uh
it's only 6 a.m and it looks like some
of these mountains are going to keep the
sun at bay for a little bit that's good
because i don't i don't think the salmon
are going to be
biting once it gets warm it is 53
degrees here at 6 00 a.m
it's my kind of morning weather it's
perfect
make a cup of coffee sit out there and
do some maybe i shouldn't
film it because i never catch fish when
i film
geez this place is busy as heck i've
never seen this place this busy
almost nowhere to park it's kind of soft
sand too
let me um let me see here
at first let's go see if there's any
room down there because it does look a
little crowded
oh i almost forgot to share with you
it may be a little early in the season
usually i don't bring skeletor out
until closer to halloween but obviously
i've added a little fun sign
and uh guys the whole point of this is
just to make people smile and laugh get
a giggle out of somebody okay
if they pass me on the interstate or the
road drive by give me a thumbs up
laugh you know wave or something like
that take take a picture
and post it on social media they're also
going to get nomadic fanatic logo
in the shot so it's kind of marketing
but it's also just
let me look at the smile how can you not
love skeletor
right and i mean you just gotta laugh at
it right you just have to
so uh skeletor is gonna be riding on the
back
uh through halloween now that's right
bringing out the big salmon pool today
there's the green the squally river
and it looks like there's a lot of
people down here at the bank there's my
buddy andrew down there
he's usually out here before me look how
green that water is
i have to check my fishing license but i
believe august first was the first day
that uh salmon fishing was allowed again
this this river here this freshwater
river will go to the ocean
down river there but the salmon come up
here to uh
spawn and lay their eggs and the problem
is
usually they're also not very hungry
when they get down here
because they're on a mission like
they're literally only here
oh jesus boat's gonna go through
everyone's
it just line through everyone's line
so that happens too if you hear the
motor reel it in
real quick i guess let's go get set up
so i'll show you what i got on my pole
here i got the uh
the the lead weight here which is going
to drag against the bottom of the river
like that and then about 18 inch leader
with corki and some yarn to attract and
that's on the hook right there so this
is going to
drag on the water the current's going to
kind of move it down you can probably
see a couple bobbers out there
and then you don't want to snag so
you'll you'll pull it in real quick like
he's pulling in right there
and we got two salmon that have already
been caught down here
and he's literally trying to catch one
he's got one
i definitely won't be able to say that
there's no fish here if i don't catch
any but
also some people are using the bobbers
and some people are just
dragging on the bottom here i'm gonna
try to drag for a little bit and see
what happens
well it turns out there's no salmon and
then a squally river
that's that's what i'm going with
it's fun out here but once the sun
starts peeking through here
there's there's no more bites and we
haven't seen anybody catch anything else
since we started out here so it's just
kind of
kind of slowed down that's okay
had fun get back check in on jax get
some breakfast
all right well you know again i'm kind
of playing this waiting game waiting for
the hydraulic part
waiting for a time slot to get in there
when the part arrives i'm just gonna
overnight
at coombs and wait for like a no-show a
cancellation
last minute somebody didn't couldn't get
in for theirs and
and hopefully i can get in and get that
hydraulic motor pump put in
until then i really am just kind of
i guess sitting around type thing but
there is a project i need to do
and i think i'm going to try to get it
done today we're going to go back down
to the west coast chehalis
rv recycling salvage yard and i'm going
to try to find some fans
and doors louvers to cool the battery
bay
so hopefully they're open let's go check
it out they're about 35 miles
south of here all right back here at my
favorite rv
toy store west coast rv recycling
um it's my battery bank with my inverter
and
my battleborn batteries and all that it
is getting 130 degrees in here guys in
this enclosed
box here that is not good for any of the
electronics
see when i'm running the air conditioner
off of solar that inverter back there
is really pumping out some heat now yes
when i'm parked somewhere
i can uh open this door and let it air
out
but how comfortable am i walking away
and going into a store
or a museum or taking you guys with me
and leaving tracks with air conditioning
i mean that just
come on i mean you'd be dumb to touch
anything right there because you might
you might die
but still the wrong person may
do something also when i'm driving down
the highway i'm running my air
conditioner my roof air conditioner
off of solar you can't have this open so
it's got to stay closed
it's time to finally vent it somehow and
i i am just gonna make this up as i go i
i don't have an input yet but i have i
was thinking about drilling one here
and then exhausting it up here through a
fan but
either way i'm gonna go look and see
what they got in here used parts and see
if i can
frankenstein something up together to
get this to vent that'll be my fun
project
so get back in a bit all right i am
really
really happy with how that worked out at
west coast recycling
let me show you what i got two bucks a
piece i got two
matching vents which i think are kind of
going to even match
the brown you think i know what i'm
doing here okay the idea
is to install one down here oh my god
that looks so good too
and then a second one up here the one up
here
eventually maybe even today is going to
have a fan
exhausting the heat the one down here is
going to be drawing air in and because
these are louvers
louvered like that if it rains water's
not going to get in there
however i still need to get something
for the back of it for the winter time
so that it doesn't freeze inside the
compartment
i'm not worried about right that right
now we can wait about we can wait
a little bit um i'm so glad that those
kind of match the brown trim and that's
just
that's just too funny but before i get
started
um what i often do i'm doing projects
like this
is i've come to a home depot where i can
get the supplies that i might need
so i'm gonna go in right now and i'm
gonna start looking at their dc fans i
know i tried this
like what last summer i think in
flagstaff yeah we
we we tried this and the whole duct fan
thing there just wasn't enough room i'm
gonna find a
slimmer fan yep i'm gonna go shopping
i'll be back all right i think i had
pretty good luck there inside uh home
depot
i have put the awning out so i can have
a little bit of shade and not be working
in the sun figure might as well
this is my side yard so i'm not not
bothering anybody here and
so learning from my mistakes of what
happened in flagstaff and what didn't
work
you know using reducers and stuff i
don't have that much room in here so
what i went with is a 250 cfm
in line duct fan okay
it's regular standard plug-in so it'll
plug into the outlet
however i know we don't want to hook
anything to this lid
because i still want access to this
compartment so the fan's not going to be
hooked to that
the vents will be installed here i know
i'm going to cut into the rv
but the fan is going to sit here
and hover right there with some uh
hanger straps and water heater hanger
strap that's going to go around it
and go into here with some self-tapping
screws
i got some tin snips to cut the the
hanger wrap
that way every time you open this the
fan just kind of
sits here hovering over there and
hopefully we'll be drawing in some outer
air from right here
and blowing out the hotter air that
accumulates up here back
out and again i don't have to worry
about it till this winter as far as
sealing these off but i got to get out
my power tools
put one there put one there
cutting into this it's got to get done
man
this no rv no rv out there anywhere was
supposed to stay exactly as you bought
it
you've got to make it yours you've got
to make it functional and
practical for full-time use and that's
why i love boondocking and not plugging
in
so i'm gonna make this work i can't
believe it
all right
all right let's keep going since i'm on
such a roll this is the uh
six inch yeah this is the six inch
duct fan 250 cfm fan
i will plug it into my outlet here
okay
it's so quiet too
okay so don't cut your fingers off but
essentially we're gonna use the
water heater tape and we're gonna hang
it
right there actually probably something
close to like that
it's gonna hang and blow out the top
vent by the way i always clean up my
space after i leave all my wood all my
scrap
everything i've cut every little piece
of everything you will never even know i
was here after i leave so
no need to start that stuff got the
water heater strap so this is going to
go around
that and it's going to be self-tapped
let me check
yeah it'll be self-tapped into this um
tin i don't know what kind of metal that
is but uh they've already used
self-tappers for the tank in there so
we'll be good right there
all righty then got the fan installed
there
looking beautiful so there's a strap on
the front there's a strap behind
the wire there so this fan can't go
anywhere yeah it looks a little loose
but it's not going anywhere it's gonna
sit there
i did have to move it over a little bit
towards this side of the vent because of
the electronics that were right there
but
if we close this up
can definitely feel it doesn't feel like
hot air right now but it will be hot air
later
again the idea is to kind of suck air
through here
to where it gets hot where the inverter
over there is throwing out a bunch of
heat and the fan is gonna blow it out
the vent
and because it's louvered once i get
this all siliconed
i'm gonna do it today i'm just i'm not
gonna film it i'm gonna
i'm gonna seal it up my way and i'm not
gonna show you what it looks like
i'll be good i'll be patient and i'll
make it look good man this was a
really cool project then come november
when i get to the house probably we'll
have to put some magnets
on here somewhere so that i can put a
piece of
magnetic like steel not tin but
something so that i can cap this off and
keep it from freezing in here when i use
my little
plug in 150 heater instead of the fan so
the fan's good for the summer when it's
warm and i'm using the air conditioner
off of solar
the little portable heater in there with
this boarded off
is going to be for winter and um
i also want to test it for what for
leaks and stuff like that
so tomorrow after the silicone is dried
i'll bring my hose around
just kind of spray it make sure
everything's good make sure everything's
still
watertight and everything but really
good project just checked my phone again
the part
did not come in today to combs i'm
really really hoping it comes in
tomorrow really hoping but
let me clean up and we'll go find a
place to park i'm not going to park here
at home depot overnight
all right i'm going to sit down and
start editing this video together
should be a fun little process who do i
got underneath me
the jacks man giving me no
foots rooms it gets no foots rooms i
