In a Holding Pattern | Missing Pieces 231

[Canadian_Guy]

Hey Greg, I figured I would comment on missing pieces regarding your Greg’s world Thanksgiving Day video.

I just wanted to say, as a Canadian I love how important Thanksgiving is to our awesome neighbours to the south. It is the one time of the year I’m envious of the good ole US of A!!!

So, the mailbox accident. As a person in law enforcement, it seemed you guys handled it really well and makes everyone’s job easier, trust me. She obviously looked down at her phone and was in a hurry. Never txt and drive, I’ve seen what happens when people do.

I loved Bud man’s cool demeanour the next day. It really showed his compassion when his main question was if the driver was ok. It’s something small but means a lot that he would ask about her welfare.

Also, I wanted to say it was great to see Deb with her great sense of humour shooting you the bird, and still having a warm smile on her face.

You are fortunate to have such a great family

Sorry for the long comment, and yes I do listen to and really enjoy the Pod every week.

All the best to you and your family!!

Wow, what a great Thanksgiving break! Our school had random days off in November, and I like your way much better. Greg, you often mention Coty’s chocolate chip cookies. A recipe would be greatly appreciated! Two things I want to share: in a recent video, you sang the song from the old bagel bites commercial, and my 7 year old thought it was so funny. He called my mom and dad to tell them what Clark’s dad sang. When I told him I remember that song, he wasn’t impressed by me lol. Also, we went to Pittsburgh last Sunday and saw Home Alone Live. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it but they play the movie and there is a live orchestra playing the music. It was amazing! I think if you ever get a chance to go, I think the whole family would love it! Have a great finish to the holiday week!

Good Sunday Morning Greg!! it is alright to get into a routine or rut...it is a GOOD rut. :) I am so excited for you guys to be entering into the Thanksgiving Holiday!! I know how much life changes when the burden or school is lifted.

Flight Simulator 2024...they should start doing it in waves and not a free for all. If people have a set time to download...it would curb the frustration. It is strange that you were having that issue. I have seen a mixed review on how the download and playing was last week. I am sure they will catch up and it will be fantastic. The graphics I have seen are special.

I think the truck simulator appeal was that it was great for conversation over the community. It is great having a conversation with you and the subscribers. The gaming was great this week.

Great job with the weight loss and dedication to the working out. Coke Zero and Dr. Pepper Zero are awesome substitutions. I gave up regular sodas for them and I do not even notice the subtle difference.

I really do not think most people can even tell the subtle differences with the cameras. It is like wine...most people cannot tell the difference between a $20 bottle and a $150 bottle. I think the quality of your channel is fantastic and 900K people agree!! LOL 😅

The Movie Inside Out was a nice surprise. Sometimes the movies sneak up on you. Just like how Forrest Gump did and Zootopia was outstanding. I am glad it was a great family movie time. Anytime you can snuggle with Coty and the Clark is a great time!! :)

YouTube is a positive platform for the most part. It has given the world great opportunities like yours to be a part of and to share life. It also has given the younger generation a great source to network and another source for knowledge. There is negative there too...however, that is life...go to a school or workplace on a daily basis. We have to be able to teach our kids to think and adults need to discern and research not take everything at face value.

The House. It is great that you live in a fantastic house...like having a job and looking for one...advantage. It is an issue with fuel oil and a well is not desirable as you know. The property looked beautiful...and the cat was cool!! That is weird to build a house right next to you. The only way to make that happen is if you had first rights to purchasing when she leaves.

Thanks Greg for having a great meeting place each week. You get to recap a week and we get to celebrate that with you and take advice, or just pretend we are having coffee together. You talk while I type this message as we go along. It is a unique way to have a conversation, but it works and I look forward to it each week. I hope your, Coty, and The Clarks Thanksgiving is wonderful. I am so Thankful for you, your family, and this wonderful community!! Happy Thanksgiving Greg!! Thanks for the Friendship. 🙂🦃

I meant to comment last week but what about renting and RV for a trip and see if you love it?

Greg, now you are hitting the nostalgia nerve. The RV, in my opinion, is overpriced. I took a voluntary layoff a few years back (pre-kids). Sold my condo and put whatever was left in a storage unit. I bought a Chevy passenger van...think airport taxi style, 15 passenger job. I took out the seats, blacked out the windows, put in a power converter for $200, built a frame for storage and threw a queen size futon mattress on that. All in, it was like $22K. I drove that thing across the United States with my wife. We brought hiking and camping gear. We brought bathing suits. We brought our ski gear. We brought everything we needed. We had a truck box on the hitch on the back and had a grill and camp stoves and 10 day coolers to hold ice and food cold. We saw 44 states in 6 months and it only cost us like $8-10K. You can bank the rest of that $80K or go on another wild adventure for a few months in Australia in a similar style!

We hiked in every major National Park (Zion, Arches, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, etc, etc.). We stayed in Walmart parking lots and camp grounds and friend's houses. We camped in the Red Wood forest. When we left our campsite at Grand Canyon, it was snowing. By the time we were halfway down the hike into the canyon, it was 78 degrees and we were in shorts! We stayed in a cabin at Yosemite and just listened to the stream roll by. The next morning we tried panning for gold in the river, just feet from our deck. :) We skied in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, California. We stayed in the parking lot at A-Basin in Colorado and got up to over a foot of fresh powder and skied the most amazing open area skiing I have ever or will ever do. We stayed in a really nice hotel at Vail and hung out in a roof top hot tub overlooking some insane mountain ranges. We swam in The Atlantic, The Pacific, The Gulf of Mexico, The Great Lakes, and so many lakes and streams. We saw friends from across the country. We saw wild animals...in the wild! An Eagle took flight down a river that gave me such a moment of soul filling peace and awe I will never forget that bird for as long as I live; or forget standing by that river. We lived. We laughed. We loved. We were humbled by the Earth and the vastness of our country and the land and the wildlife and the nature of it all. We drove from New England, to the Keys, to Texas, to Mexico, to Washington, to the Heartland. I think we drove something like 20, 000+ miles those 6 months if memory serves correctly. I would do it again in a heartbeat. No regrets. Just do it!

I suggest saving the lego Hogwarts Express for this summer and read Harry Potter first. Maybe get through the 3rd one before doing anything with the set. Clark and you might get into and Harry Potter and want to play with the set. It would be a lot of fun to have the set to go along with reading the books for the first time it would make a special memory.

Hi there, Greg! How was Thanksgiving break?

The Microsoft Flight Sim disaster is a reminder off what I believe to be too much of a good thing. I think what Microsoft should’ve done is let the user download the whole game rather than putting most of the data in the cloud. If they had done this, I’m sure the game would be a lot more stable for everyone.

Speaking of games though, I have recently reentered the gaming scene a bit by continuing a game called Cuphead (a game I don’t recommend if you have a short temper). I want to get back into American Truck Simulator as well, but I am still having issues with my barely year old gaming laptop.

You know Greg, you have a pretty good problem, trying to find the perfect property when you already live in a home you love. I will say though I don’t really understand that lady’s “downsize” plan, I think she is possibly screwing herself financially.

I will be spending my Thanksgiving driving to Fargo and back. My older brother is moving out of his apartment over there and finally moving to New York City. I have to go over there though to pick up his car since he will no longer need it, and some other stuff as well. Yeah, no Thanksgiving festivities this year. However, I hope everyone has a glorious Thanksgiving filled with wonderful family. I will see you guys later!
