Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now I guess vacation for Sky is going to consist
of her traveling to Oregon. This is what you do now, right?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Yes, yes, So Sky went to her Oregon house. This
was the longest time you were there? Right?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh? Yeah, yeah. I've only actually stayed in the house
one time. My husband's been there twice. And yeah, the
first time I was there it was only like five days.
This time we were there for eight full days.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
So I packed a lot of like art supplies and
adult coloring books and you know, a novel, thinking like, oh,
I'm gonna just be so relaxed and have you know,
nothing to do. It's going to be so like boring
and chill. And that couldn't have been more opposite. It
was like go go go every second, Oh.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Go go for what?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
It was a split of DIY projects of you know,
stuff for the house, like my carry on item traveling.
There was a big wooden whale because I had this
wooden whale I bought at a shop here in San Diego.
Didn't feel it with our new house. That's what's the
what's the task?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
They're setting it on a table. No, no, you gotta
hang it. It's perfect Where are we going to hang it?
Of nails we're gonna use or do we use screws?
How are we going to hang it? What day should
we hanging on? What hours should we hang room? What
room should we hanging on? If it's too cloudy? Can
we hang it? Is that bed?

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Luck?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I need the stage of the house.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's like you were there, we see and my husband
actually got in a fight because I wanted to hang it.
Or you walk out to the.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Back deck and what a stupid thing.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
It says beach house. No shoes required on the whale goes.
Someone's gonna get a splinter. They're gonna see no shoes
required and they're going to walk out on the deck.
Oh my god, and they'll get a splinter. I'm like,
so this is this is why things take a little
bit more top.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
People were gonna take that sign literally.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, I'm gonna jump on a box of nails like what.
So it had already started off on fighting with the
flight attendant about where my whale would go. It was
a whole thing.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Uh why didn't you put it in your suitcase?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
It wouldn't fit. No, this like it was it was up.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well then how are you allowed to carry it on.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, I think you have to check that like they
let me. I don't know. She said it would go
in a She tried to get me to put it
under the seat, but it was too big, so then
we went overhead bin. But she said I had to
be the last person to put it in because like
suitcases got priority. This whale was a whole issue. But man,
was it worth it. I'll show you guys a picture later.
It looks great, it looks great and so so. Yeah,

(02:44):
so you know, getting there was a whole thing. A
lot of fights about food this trip. My husband wanted
me to throw some uneaten cheese in my purse and
take it with me for like a five hour drive.
I thought that was ridiculous. I found that when I
got to Oregon, I any person I met, I needed
to tell them my story.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Why do you do that?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Let's wait, what's your story? Like, tell them your story?
You bought a vacation home.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, I don't know how it comes something.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
A lot of people will be like, okay.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
On vacation or do you live here? And that's a
that's a messy question, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
We don't have there.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I bought a house. I live in Candy Sane. We
bought a house. We're gonna rent out, but we are.
It's also kind of a vacation home.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
But I can't just story.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I can't tell it that fast. I got to it's
a second story. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
She starts with the neighbor and her hedges.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
So a lot of explaining to people, which embarrass my
family because I I don't do that. I just found
my I'm a friendly vacationer. I talked to everybody. I
need to learn about them, they need to learn about me.
We were at this tiny cafe where the tables are
right next to each other, and I heard a guy
at the table next to us mentioned that he used

(03:59):
to live in San Diego. So I had to introduce myself.
I had to find out where they lived, how long
ago they moved there. They're from Salona Beach. Guys had
had a great view of the Delmar Racetrack, but now
full time living in Oregon.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
So theversation do you start like this, Hi, I'm Sky
from the show.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Like that.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
My family has taken to calling me Ruth, which I
don't appreciate.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Uh turns out that, uh, this coastal Oregon is a
hot spot for vacationing if you are from Idaho.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
And we like.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
What we overheard someone from Idaho asking the waitress what
a scallop was and if they could describe it to
them because they've never seen nor heard of a scallop
because they're from Idaho. Next thing you know, this woman
comes up to our table. She goes youth talking to
me like full.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
You look like.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
That could be your name.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
It turns out her best friend in Idaho is named Ruth,
and I am Ruth's doppel ganger.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
So did you just to see a picture?

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I didn't. I just I was I felt I felt weird.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
It was a whole weird by the way, her best
friend and she couldn't tell the difference, Like.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Thought about these are the people you're getting out there.
I mean, what the fact that.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
She was a bit older too, and I'm her best
Like how old do I look?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
How old did she look?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
You definitely look like a roof? Okay, I can't say
that like.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Anything I did all vacation. My family is like such
a rue thing.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, classic Ruth.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Classical Ruth got into a little back and forth with
a neighbor that we.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Met here, we go it doesn't matter what.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
You look in the mirror and realize, thank you, thank you.
At what point.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Excuse me them? That comes over nice to me, But
of course I have to explain to him from San
Diego this story retirement, the story yeah, blah blah blah
blah blah. And that's when he goes, So this floodlight
on top of your garage, it's it's on a motion sensor.
And when that thing comes on, I can read a
book in my living room in the middle of the night.
It's so bright. All the neighbors hate this light. It's

(06:19):
been a problem for years. Can you please take this
light down? And we had just specialty ordered a brand
new light because that one was looking really weathered and
we were going to replace it. And so I go, oh,
we got a new one. We got it specialty shipped
because it's not that easy to get stuff shipped out there.
And I said, oh, we'll point it down. And he's like,
you don't need that here. You got to take your California,

(06:43):
big city livin out of it. This is a safe neighborhood.
You don't need this. The neighbors hate it, and so
we listened to him and respected his wishes, and instead
of a whale coming home, I got to carry a
massive ring floodlight home as my parents. Because you to

(07:05):
return it, there's like a return window to get your
money back, and it's like a two hundred and fifty
dollars light. So and we wouldn't have made that window.
So that was my carry on home, which was another
issue with the flight attendant. But overall, so much tide pooling,
so many lighthouses saw whales off the back deck, saw

(07:27):
a wild.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
So that's it for a while though, right, Yeah, maybe
you're gonna rent it.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
So we have to hear about it. Well, that would
be great.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
We have a tenant moving in on July first, so
you may start hearing about that.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
What is there to hear about me?

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, you you have nothing to do with it. You
have property manager.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
You're out of the equation.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well, I like updates. I probably would appreciate an update
or two. So well, and I did accidentally leave, like
I cleaned out the house so good, but as I
was driving home realized I left three half eaten pints
of ice cream in the freezer. So I'm going to have,
so I'm going to reach out and apologize and be
like I'm so sorry, I'm sorry. Feeling to throw those

(08:12):
away like you don't have to
