Values-Principles-All In The Family-Bob Davis Podcast 1149

Values and Principles are All In The Family

Firstly this is a personal and heartfelt podcast about Values and Principles and It’s All In The Family. Details in Values-Principles-All In The Family-Bob Davis Podcast 1149.

Suggested By A YouTube Viewer

Secondly the idea for this podcast came from a YouTube viewer.

Principles

To begin with this viewer suggested I talk about the principles of Mountain Men and how I have adopted them.

Of course I don’t follow someone else’s principles. I follow my own.

Source

But where do they come from.

Great Idea

So that’s a great idea for a podcast.

My Family

Accordingly I delve deeply into my own family for clues.

Personal

Therefore this became a rather personal and heartfelt podcast.

Four Generations

Because I went back four generations sharing what I know about my ancestors and what they were like.

That is to say what they might have believed in when it came to principles…

And how they lived their lives.

Where Did You Find These Stories

Because I’m going so far back you might wonder about the source.

With this is mind much of the stories come from my Grandfather.

All in all my mom as well.

Not only these…

But my own memories too.

Confuse Values and Principles

Above all I think people confuse values with principles.

Of course principles can come from values.

On the other hand I find principles more like hard and fast rules…

And values to be more flexible.

Hard To Adopt Principles

Given these points it’s difficult to see how this nomad could have adapted or adopted the principles of an historical figure.

Channeling

In spite of the feeling you might get from watching a movie about some figure or character that results in a feeling like you can almost channel the them…

Eventually you’re left with your own history and family story.

Everyone Has A Different Story

Lastly of course these are different for everyone.

Certainly some of us would rather not follow principles of certain family members.

Nevertheless we learn our family’s principles in early childhoods.

Accordingly that makes Values-Principles-All In The Family-Bob Davis Podcast 1149 a very personal and emotional podcast.

Follow Along

In conclusion it’s my hope the listener will follow along as I tell my story.

Think About Your Own Family and Principles

And accordingly remember your own childhood for ideas that apply.

Four-Years-On-The-Road-The-Bob Davis Podcast 1148

Four Years On The Road

Four years on the road full time as a nomad is pretty hard for me to believe. Details in Four-Years-On-The-Road-The-Bob Davis Podcast 1148.

Halloween

Four Years ago on Halloween I left my emptied duplex in Minnesota for a life on the road.

Full Time

In nomad and RV parlance it’s called ‘full time’.

Travel

I certainly put my time in as a part time nomad from 2015 until 2020.

But full time is something else again.

No Big Thank You’s

By all means I am grateful for the support friends, family, listeners and subscribers have given me.

However there won’t be a lot of thank you’s in this podcast because I usually save that for New Year’s Eve.

Change

Additionally this fourth year was a year of change.

Beneath The Surface

In fact I did not know my ideas about nomad life were changing at the same time Nomad Life in general was changing.

Goodbye Quartzsite

For one thing while I love Quartzsite and have enjoyed at least two years there in the winter.

There has been a change in the air and I feel it is time to seek out new adventures.

I’ll explain in Four-Years-On-The-Road-The-Bob Davis Podcast 1148.

Adventure

Equally important to me is the idea of new adventure.

Now, adventure means different things to different people.

Instead of climbing mountains and jumping out of airplanes just the idea of movement and seeing new places is adventure for me.

Joshua Tree

For example following my departure from Quartzsite this fall I am now in Joshua Tree.

Although by the time you read this I might be somewhere else in the Southwest.

Travelogue

All in all one of the great things about these Halloween Anniversary podcasts is a chance to do a little travelogue.

Nomads Are In A Different Timeline

First thing to remember about nomad life is we’re on a different timeline.

Given that we travel around a lot sometimes it’s hard to remember where we were and when we were in one place or another.

After all life is about the experience. Not always the dates and times.

Podcasts

As a result I often have to go back and consult the list at The Bob Davis Podcasts to see where I was and when I was! You can do the same thing by clicking here.

Fifth Year

Henceforth we begin the fifth year.

What Do I Want

At this point it’s all about figuring out just want I want from this experience.

Freedom

One thing’s for sure.

I don’t think I could ever go back to the old life.

Las Vegas-Joshua Tree-Bob Davis Podcast 1147

Las Vegas To Joshua Tree

Firstly Las Vegas-Joshua Tree-Bob Davis Podcast 1147 is about a computer meltdown forcing the nomad back on the road.

Secondly I am not mad about it.

Thinking About More Travel

Most importantly I have been thinking about traveling more lately.

Roll With The Punches

Altogether sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.

Water and PC’s Don’t Mix

Although this may be true when you spill water on your PC unexpectedly it stirs the pot to say the least.

But if we’re speaking the truth…

Done With Quartzsite For Now

With this in mind I was about done with Quartzsite Arizona anyway.

YouTube

Certainly I had just finished a YouTube video about how we can’t predict the future.

Changes In Mecca

And in that video I talked a little about how the experience in the so called nomad Mecca has changed over the past few years.

New Adventure

Therefore I have been looking for a new adventure.

Rather than just sit there and be unhappy I took the opportunity to do something new.

As much as I love my friends in Quartzsite during the winter months.

Bloom Is Off The Rose

While this may be true the bloom is off the rose.

Heading North To Las Vegas

Even though goodbyes are difficult it was great to get back on 95 and head up to Havasu City, Searchlight Nevada and ultimately Las Vegas.

Afterward while I am not a gambler and have not been a fan of Las Vegas lately…

Surprisingly Easy

Navigating to Town Square Mall and the Apple Store was surprisingly easy.

New Mac

Straightaway I was negotiating for new Mac Pro.

All in all this is an opportunity to finally have the IT juice to do some video editing as well as improved quality for the podcast.

Learning Curve

However there will be a bit of a learning curve since I can’t access all the data on the old Mac Pro currently.

And you have to learn all new ins and outs of updated software, so no music in this podcast.

Solving Problems

At any rate the thing about problems is you get to solve them.

Searchlight To I-40

Lastly coming back the way I came through Searchlight I happened upon on of my reference points in my travels.

Truck Stop Time

In other words a cluster of truck stops at I-40 and 95.

Coupled with a new digital lease on life I had a chance to chill out to the sound of semis and reset my plans.

In conclusion some of these plans are discussed in this podcast.

More About This Next Podcast

But I’ll talk more about the journey in my next podcast to celebrate four years as a nomad full time and start out the fifth year of travel.
