yeah it's thinning out here at Slab City it's all good
Angela and I are still here and I've been working on a project literally all
day I had to go into towns I couldn't find what I need let me show you what
I'm doing I mentioned in a couple videos that my my taillights and signals are
partially blocked once the bike gets on here so I'm fixing it today the first
part was tapping in to the lights themselves right here so I've got yellow
green brown and white available for me and then I picked up a kit which didn't
work but basically I built a little 4 pin flat adapter here so that I can plug
in the lights but I'll show you these are the cheap 15 dollar lights that I
got they how are incandescent bulbs in there and for whatever reason the
running lights do not work at all and and actually the brake lights were
swapped with the turn signal so the turn signals were brighter than the brake
lights I don't know it's just they're really honky it was a probably a bad
purchase but I got on the bike and went down to a Riley's in Brawley and I got
these sweet looking LED these are a 3-way running lights brake lights and
turn signals they are flush mounted and I use self-tapping screws to put them in
to the edges of my steel carrier they're not going to get in the way of the tire
I already checked that the tire can't get there and then wiring it up I'm just
going to wire it all up and tuck all this and zip tie it back to the source
to get all the wiring out of the way that's how they're positioned one on
each side see ok so and they're really bright I mean they are like five times
brighter than the stock lights anyway so people are gonna know and I'm trying to
turn or when I'm braking way better I'm actually this is the this is a great
little upgrade I got these as singles for 18 bucks apiece you might need some
wire or the wiring harness to be able to tap into your lights up there
so there's that and the cost of the screws and driving around trying to find
parts today but I think we're good now so I'll get back to you looks like we
got about an hour of sunlight left and by that time it'll be time to test out
my wiring there we go all right I got the wiring all done in the back Angela's
gonna help me and turn on a few things and we'll see what the difference looks
like here and go back here there we go everything works
how about left blinker Yeah right blinker good for way cool okay and then
how about just brake lights excellent thank you next work I realize it's
practically impossible to show the difference in the amount of light coming
off but believe it the LEDs versus the incandescent bulbs these down here are
way way brighter than the stock ones and they are in a place where you are gonna
be able to see them very clearly no matter what's back here so I feel a
hundred percent safe now on the road and Oh show you the wiring so basically I
just looped everything underneath and then use zip ties okay there's a bundle
over there going to there there is a release right there in case I have to
take this hitch out for some reason that's why I put in the four pin flat
one which you can't see right now but anyway it's you can see wires in here
but they're all tucked away and hidden so I think it looks pretty clean pretty
happy with that project here's one more shot in the total black here I'm looking
in the viewfinder here though it doesn't look any brighter than the incandescent
light on this viewfinder but in real life it's much much brighter just stand
back and show you maybe like that yeah that changed a lot especially in the
daytime when it's sunny and I'm on the freeway try to change lanes people are
gonna be able to see my intentions a lot better
sleeveless t-shirt time I need a little slap city break so I'm gonna hop on the
bike and doh explore you know go see something that you I normally would not
see so keep the are be here all secured and
we'll go for a little trip and tried to find something fun yeah just got off a
highway 111 here I was like all excited I'm like whoa I didn't know you could
just go six miles from slab city and have this awesome Lake like I really
thought that I was looking at like blue water like a lake this is not a lake
don't know if it looks the same to you but it's just dirt but there's like
ripples out there in the dirt that look like a pond or a lake that's really
creepy anyway now that I'm off the pavement and onto dirt I'm gonna tour
down here cuz it looks like there's some riding trails and so we'll see what we
find I wish you guys could watch this video
in 4d in smell-o-vision cuz it's stinky it's so stinky I'm in a national
wildlife preserve here and things keep bubbling up from this little pit right
here it's really strange actually this little pit right here reminds me of the
hot springs over a slab city that everybody's just like oh it's so cool
you gotta go no it's nasty water and every time I go
there there's everybody's naked and it's just not pleasant over there it's not
clean either everybody's just scaling off parts of their skin in there and
then you know it's not like a moderated hot tub where there's chlorine no here's
bathing everybody else's filth the filth of slab city so yeah yeah I did find a
nice body of water on the other side of the preserve here got this canal here
see that over there lots of birds lots of nature over there
but there's just no way across this little canal I drove about a mile down
here and there's no like path / so that's too bad I feel good and like
reset I feel like my nomadic insides are good because I left and explored a
little bit smelled some different stuff so head on back to camp
I want to talk to you a few people ok we're back here at slab city entrance
I'm kind of sad that this cubicle has been painted over so many times it used
to be a really neat welcome to slab city piece of art here but everybody has to
change it all the time the backside is kind of cool I guess nothing about slab
city though and then this is what you see when you leave slab city
it used to say used to say good luck out there and now it says go something else
but hey just to give you an idea something I'm not trying to gross you
out or anything but I mean because there's a lot of things that slab so do
you think that could gross you out just to give you an idea I'm going to show
you the communal shower in case nobody's in it which there's no signs I think are
good but the hot springs are on the other side of this mound right here the
hot springs as they call it do you guys hear the running water just make sure
nobody's in here yeah it's empty ok so this is what they call the slab
city shower area
okay so so think about this for a minute well overall what we're doing here is
we're getting the runoff from the dead skin cells of the hot springs right
there okay and then all of that nasty dirty water is what people go down here
in the ladder and use debates to get queens here at Slab City do I even have
to tell you how gross that is maybe they just try not to think about it or
something
so my popular demand guys and we're gonna go talk to a van dweller here in
Slab City friend of mine we're gonna talk to go granny Joe here and see what
she's got going on in her van over here hi everybody I am go granny Joe as I'm
