Lol @ $400 tire, anyone paying that much for a tire on a non race car or big ass truck is a moron.

Your channel has some great content, and its all so genuine and real, with images of you guys enjoying life and the places you visit. We happily hit the Subscribe button, and wont let the 'dust settle' until we return to watch more of your videos 😃👍👍

What a fabulous birthday experience that must have been. You made the ship and your shore destinations look great here.

What a great way to explore the best that Italy has to offer. Its real travel rather than tourism you guys have embarked on here, and you've really put a lot of what you discovered into this very watchable and joyful video.

Some really nice photography. Still images set into a montage like yours, edited with some perfect background music, is very much something we like. Did you actually enjoy the ship and its destinations on offer?

I really enjoy seeing you guys traveling and enjoying life. Live it up! You are wonderful friends.

You did REALLY well with the car. This info below is for people new to EVs, thinking of buying one. The chargers do say up to 350kW, but you would need a car that can take 1,000 Volts at 350 Amps (multiplied together, that makes the 350kW). The Hyundai / Kia / Genesis group of cars is one of the fastest charging cars under $100,000 on the market - they can all take 800 Volts at around 300 Amps to max out in the 240kW range (Volts x Amps = Watts, and a kiloWatt just means 1,000 Watts). Most EVs are 400 Volts or less. You'd need the new Porsche Taycan or a Lucid Air Grand Touring to get above 300kW. As of 2024, no production passenger car can take 350kW - the chargers are just future-proofed so when cars are made with batteries that CAN take it in the years to come, they're already in place. The car charges much faster when it's emptier, and when the battery is above 70ºF. To use the battery preconditioning using the built-in onboard navigation: select POI (Place Of Interest) --> EV Charging Stations in maps, and select the DC Fast Charger location on your route. As long as you have at least 20% State Of Charge, it'll start to get the battery to the right temperature for quick charging when you're 30 miles or so from the charger (a heating coil icon shows on the battery level icon on the bottom of your instrument screen). If you're at less than 40% State Of Charge and your battery is the right temperature, you will rip into the charge. For people in Northern States or for colder weather, that's what you would use. If you've been driving pretty solidly in mild dry weather, doing some overtaking and braking for the half-hour before you get to a charger, the battery is usually warmed up nicely that way too. Same as your cellphone if you use a lot of apps that draw power like the Maps or some games - the battery in the phone warms up. And just the act of charging anything electric with a battery warms it up, so you'll see speeds ramp up when it's plugged in for a minute or two and the battery starts to get toasty. Once the battery starts to fill up, there is less room to stick free electrons so the car tells the charger to slow things down. The movie theater thing you said is a great way of explaining it. That's why people online suggest "charger hopping" - if you can drive down to 40% or lower, just charge to 80% before the slowdown in charging, then drive to 40% or lower to the next charger, you get to your destination quicker. It takes as long to charge from 0% to 80% as it does from 80% to 100%. It's usually not the charger that is running slow because of a fault, it's the car telling the charger to run slow because the battery is too cold or too full. But if you help it to get in optimal shape, charging is quick. At 3:28 you got it up 237kW (close to the maximum the IONIQ 6 can pull). Ford Mustang Mach-E or Chevrolet Bolt drivers can only DREAM of charging that fast. Using the A Better Route Planner app is great. People that don't like the idea of an EV say how you have to plan a trip ...but if you were traveling a big road-trip back in the day, you would plan the route using a road atlas or a AAA TripTik. A Better Route Planner is just a TripTik on a phone screen, and it has the added benefit of getting you to stretch your legs / eat and drink / go to a restroom on a regular basis. Put in your destination, it plans the route. It takes less than a minute! And your car in Sports Mode can go from 0 to 60 mph faster than a Ferrari Testarossa!

Glad you are enjoying your Ioniq six. It looks great by the way. I just purchased one mid August unfortunately I have experienced the electric system problem about 2 1/2 weeks after I purchased it. It basically would not go into drive or reverse and it gave me the check your electric system warning so it became undrivable. At the time of this writing it is still at the dealership waiting for whatever part it needs. I spoke to the dealership yesterday and they told me that they don’t know when the part will come in, so no estimated time of repair so far. I’m hoping this will fix the problem once and for all and that I don’t encounter any more issues. We really like the car otherwise.

Thank you so much for sharing this Robert. My Mom worked at Reads Store before she opened the Wagon Wheel. Hope you're doing well. Tammy Doane Morath

What excursion did you do Puerto Plata and would you recommend it?

I love this woow

Hi guys, new subscriber here! Celebrity beyond looks like a great ship! What did you guys think if the Itinerary?

Very nice. Love you both.

Thank you for putting this video together. I am also a Jones descendant. So many who attended years ago are now gone. Wonderful people. As a genealogist, I have learned that many of my ancestors are buried at the Jefferson cemetery.

Holy cow, that Cedar Creek is a biggin'!

Hey Rob, had a great time golfing yesterday with y'all! Have been looking at under sink water filters, will check this one out.

Cute!!! Little Carmen all bundled up enjoying the bike ride.

Affinity RV Group are by far the nicest people from the front office to the bays. We were very fortunate in 2020 to have met & had extensive work done by Rod & his crew. The camaraderie that is shared among all who work there adds a nice touch & customer service seems to be top priority. For sure we are returning to have a couple things added. We are from Ohio. When you find a company this good at what they do & provide the customer with the assurance they can handle it & do, why would you go anywhere else?

Wow! This is so pretty! Thanks for sharing.

Cool👍👍 it could have some music though 😉

Where did you mount the wireless box and how do you have it wired for power, I just picked up same kit and will be doing install.

Great job!

🙏🙏🙏🌹

About what i looked like when we left on Sunday.

*Fun Fact* : This is where the asteroid called Chixculub impacts and created a Dinosaur extinction, And got replaced by Humans.

Wait are you using a kind of flying machine?

Who was playing the song

Chicxulub is known where all the dinosaurs died.

Anyways

I’m just so 😜 about chicxulub

I liked that

WOW good song

My people of Surest is very beautiful and your states ruins mays and olmecs is very beautiful

I discovered Chicxulub Puerto last year and visited in September. I fell in love and am planning to retire there in a couple of years. :-)

under surface things rule. Cool.

BAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

This awesome! Thanks for sharing. It's nice to see exactly where on the beach we are.
