This video is a bit different. Just wanted to share some thoughts and ideas around a day that can sometimes not be so easy for some of us. I wanted to document my day, to share it with my people, and to talk more freely on camera about who I am. I hope you enjoy :)
Happy birthday man! You should be super proud of yourself to be 30 years old and have the values that you have and have your head together. I am 60 years old, trust me I know what I'm saying. Continue doing the right thing and enjoying yourself in the right way it'll all work out great. Keep up the great videos
Happy 30th Birthday for yesterday bro, thanks for bringing us all together. You’ve got over 24k friends here within the community you’ve built🙏🏽😈🍺
A very Happy Birthday to you! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us. You are an awesome human. And I hope you know we’ve got you.
Your fortunate to quit testing the waters of life at a young age. I waited till I was 44. Happy Birthday and greetings from Concord, CA. 🥳
Great vid Happy birthday From ENGLAND
Happy birthday my friend! Def a time to look back, evaluate how you’re doing in life. Just remember to look for the good things that are happening too. I feel ya on the friends thing. Moved to Atlanta almost 3 years ago and really haven’t secured any close friends. Tough working remote at home for my day job. Great to see ya taking some time for yourself. Def gotta balance the work/life energy. Loving the day in the life of Alec vids. We came for the DIY’s but stayed for you. Stay strong my friend!
Happy Birthday, man. We all go through it sometime. wear your seatbelt, we don't want to lose you.
Alec, I have been following you since the beginning. I love watching your videos not only for the car stuff, but for your honesty and openness about your life and your feelings. I am glad you and your little buddy are getting away for the day and having some fun. I can really relate to your thoughts about not having many friends. I had dozens of friendss as a kid, but I will turn 75 soon and have only two or three friends that I feel comfortable sharing my most private thoughts with. I am gratful for them. Happy Birthday and many more!
I think its a quality over quantity situation Rick. Glad you got some close friends! I think you got all you need. Me too :) Thanks for the support as always! Hope you have a great weekend
Happy birthday Alec
Fish on! Glad you are in Humboldt! Somehow my name was changed to maiden name in YT, you know me as Kroemer.(84 318i.) Stick with nature, it is the most cleansing, restorative option we humans have. Your Sage is ecstatic! We love ling cod, fished for it all the time when we lived in Monterey. Enjoy!!!
Hey Alec, looks like you had the best birthday! I wanted to say thank you for teaching me personally so many things for e46. It gave me the courage to replace my power steering fluid , reservoir and both hoses connected to reservoir. I also will do my control arm bushings next, with the help of Bavauto's control arm bushing tool. Test drive has been postponed , it got dark. I will say I prefilled the large hose and it eliminated any visual air bubbles and the reservoir dip said I am at perfect level. This is my first project on the e46! Thank you again. Your the man!
That was my first job in it too! And now I've done serpentine belt and tensioner, radio & speakers, oil change, filters, disa valve, and thermostat. Next up - valve cover 😬
love to hear it! Thats so awesome, thats the goal of this channel right here, to show that anyone can do these things with some basic tools and a little know how! I really appreciate the unending support Bogs!
Happy birthday! I feel we have lots in common especially with the friendship circle aspect. I also have moved to a different location leaving my past behind me and trying bigger and better things while trying to be the best version of myself each and every day not only for me but for my family. I’m in my early 30’s married with a toddler and enjoying every bit of being a father for the 1st time. Enjoy your life it’s the only one we have and enjoy those who really love us for who we are and make us better/complete us. Cheers my brother best regards.
congratulations on the family! I think thats the end game of life right there. I am very much looking forward to having children one day. Thanks for the comment my friend!
Happy Birthday Alec, I feel the same, I'm socially just stuck within a small bounds of people, maybe 1-4 peeps occasionally....for me it's sad and lonely. But I choose to keep it small however not as small as life is giving/offering me but maybe there's a reason behind it. All I can say is I'm a loner majority of the time because I'm so disappointed in the way friends, family and life has turned out but I'm keeping positive 😊. Have an amazing day Bud.
Happy Happy Birthday Alec 🎉🎉🎉🌟
Happy Birthday Alec!
Happy birthday Alec!
I enjoy this channel. 3 Bimmers in the driveway… looking to add a 4th e46 manual, that’s how I found this channel.
Happy birthday!
A very happy birthday to you !!! Ill be 30 soon 🥧
Happy Birthday to you! I think we can all relate to the birthday weirdness as we move into our 30s. You're not alone. You're forging your own path - a lot of people don't have the courage to deviate from the norm. Best gift you can give yourself 🎉
That's some beautiful scenery up there Alec
its a beautiful place! come visit sometime Anthony!
I'm way late but hope you enjoyed your birthday! I'm joining the discord now and found your channel last night. We have so much in common it's kind of odd. I'm waiting and training to become a firefighter here in Columbus Ohio, I just acquired a 05 e60s 525i, close in age, and don't have many people I call friends. Your right though man, it's hard to find people that are worth your time and are actually friends!
Happy birthday Alec 🎊! I didn’t know you were also a April birthday brother. Mine is on the 20th of this month as well. Ribeyes 👀 looked awesome 😎. I’m glad you enjoyed your day. Enjoy life man. Yes we have to work but we have to disconnect as well so we don’t burn 🔥 out. Happy birthday brother! ✌🏽
Here’s to another healthy happy trip around the sun Alec!
yessir! thanks phillip!
Sharing your thoughts and feelings on life is such a refreshing perspective on this platform. Opening up to us about your thought processes on moving within the confines of life, and coming to that beautiful conclusion of escaping solitude with nature and family. I went through a similar struggle last year when I was about to turn 30 as well, so I really relate; I even find comfort in your words. You may feel as though friends are a dime a dozen now, but once you get a couple, they'll all turn up out of nowhere. Happy 30th to you. I hope this channel blows up, so many more can see the amazingly genuine individual here.
Happy Birthday! Nice video, glad you were with family for the big 30!!!
appreciate it!!
Some real talk in this video. Welcome to the 30's and you're not alone... making friends post covid is strange and difficult. If you're ever in phoenix AZ you've got a friend here.
trying to keep it real stew! appreciate that! i will definitely post next time im in AZ!!! :)
Hellvyeah we can cruise these nice roads
Happy birthday. Hugs from Portugal
Happy birthday brotha! Lots of love man, love these videos too where you give perspective on life man. Enjoy the ride and keep it positive like you do!
Glad you appreciate em Gustavo! Hope you have an amazing weekend!
Whe love you and your channel brother
happy birthday man! many years to come :) I stopped celebrating my birthday at 12
Do nothing work related as you spoke at the beginning it soo important! When I did 30 a few years ago (I'm 35 now) I was so immerse in work and adult life, worked directly with my dream job (cars involved), had hundreds of friends, party every weekend, business trips, international car shows and all. But was tired 24/7, no time to rest, depressed, took no time to feel the grief from my mom's passing away a few years earlier and it was taking a toll. Now I'm back at my dad's place my sunny beach hometown after a huge turnaround. I've commented in one video before that I came to your channel for the bms and stayed for the awesome vibe. Stay safe and happy birthday!
Glad you had a good birthday. I watched the whole thing while at work and enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks :)
Happy birthday mate, looks like you had a super fun & heart-warming day! I know what you mean about finding it hard to make friends in a new area, I moved with my partner to a new city around 18 months ago and we have both found it difficult at times. Keep your chin up dude, I'm sure it'll all happen at once! Sending love from the UK
appreciate you ross! where you two living at ?! seems like i have quite a few viewers from the UK
@@DayOffDIY we're in Oxford!
Happy Birthday! Great Vid. Not really into fishing too much but you made me keep watching cause of the insight that you let us know about your past and your present situation. Takes a lot to put it out there and I respect you for that. Seem like a guy I would chill with. I’m all the way on the other side lol New York. Keep up the great work and enjoy it.
appreciate you bobby! not my usual stuff but its fun to keep it real. I like to be able to relate with content creators when i do see them share. trying to break the mold. if i ever make it to NY lets get a beer!
Happy Birthday! Hope its a great day, everything you need!
Hapy bday bro
Belated Happy Birthday Alec. Sorry was a bit late of seeing your Video 😅 Thanks for sharing it with us. We humans all do stuff which we are not Proud of.. but all these are experiences which are getting us there where we are now. Glad you could make the right decisions for you to be the Person you are now. An awesome Person ;) Happy Birthday again and stay safe bro. 🎉 Much love and greetings from Germany❤🎉😊
Serhan! I appreciate you friend! Ready to take on my 30s, its going to be a great year! Thanks for the support and friendship!
Happy birthday mate 🎉! Love your work!
happy birthday brother
Sup Alec, first of all, happy b-day man. Some thoughts I had while watching your video man. I think we all at some point have some trouble facing our own mortality and what our purpose is in this world and this life. One thing that certainly helped with this topic was having my kids, man. For some strange reason, it felt like a huge weight lifted off of my chest. Like, I didn't needed to pursue so much stuff in life, I didn't need to keep up with the Joneses anymore, just providing for my kids and do the best for them. Or maybe I just don't have nearly as much time to dwell in stuff now, who knows 🤣 Another thought... I wouldn't mix every kind of content in your channel. I'm here for the car stuff, and I'm guessing many people are. I would suggest creating separate channels for the separate topics. I have an aviation channel (oh yeah, I have my private pilot's license too), and I created a separate channel for that. I have this one which is my personal channel, and I'm creating another one for car stuff. I think that makes most sense. Cheers and take it easy man, don't be hard on yourself. The idea of finding cars to bring back up to life to give away is great, if you could continue on that, would be really nice.
I appreciate the feedback friend! I think thats a good idea :)
عيد ميلاد سعيد و كل عام و أنت بألف خير أيها الرجل الطيب
Happy Birthday Alec! Birthdays don’t matter after 25, in my opinion. I think that you are an amazing cool guy and I’m jealous with the area that you live in.
Happy birthday mate mine was on the 15th, all the best to you
Happy Birthday Alec I hope you keep showing your spectacular personality and views in life, Keep it up I've been loving the BMW repair Knowledge and tips
Happy B-Day !!!
Happy birthday my friend 🎂And good luck for the future in life. With best regards from Norway. 🙂
Happy belated Bday! Love disc golf. Been playing since the late 90's. I'm not very good, but it's a great way to get out with friends and also to meet new people.
Happy belated birthday. Alec
Happy Birthday, man. 👍👍
Happy birthday! You are truly an inspiration to me and presumably many others! As always keep it up bud:)
Happy birthday! You are good person. Need more people like you out there
Happy Birthday! Wishing you well, Alec. Honesty, I thought you’re in your mid twenties. Good genes, my dude. Like the fishing vlog.
Happy birthday
❤
Happy Birthday Alec. Hope you treated yourself well! Ah, the 30's, I remember it better than I did in my 20's! Haha. Amy !I've from Kismet?
Happy birthdayyy
appreciate you!
Happy bityhday😀
thank you :)
Still remember the hot tub video, keep it up man!
Grant! You know! appreciate the long time support !!!
Happy Birthday Alec! Your channel is wonderful, we came for the BMWs but we stay for your personality. Have you ever considered that you might be on the autistic spectrum? Your discussion about your relationships with friends made me think you might be.
I was diagnosed with ADD ADHD when i was young, but i dont exactly buy into that idea of western medicine as an adult. They tried medication to keep me focused and the negative side effects really did more harm than good, i think we all just need to find what interests us and focus on that. So to answer your question, possibly! I just think of myself as unique and call it a day :)
I meant any love from 84 Kismet?
Enjoy 30 Alec you’ll be 60 in no time
Ahhh yes, very comforting😊🙏🏽
Happy Birthday Alec! ⛑️ 👨🏻 👕 👖 ⛺️ 🚣🏻♀️ 👱🏼♀️ 👚 👖 🚒🚒🚒🚒 I have cherished getting to know you & your brother, girl,& parents this past year! You’re an amazing mentor and friend. 🚦🚥🚦ℹ️ Distance means nothing when you got us at the touch of a button. We got your back. At least I know I do. 🛞🛞 Mechanic friends for life. 😂 Have the best birthday ever. This channel saved my life when I fell into a slump with my car problems. You made it better and didn’t even know. Thank you for showing us how to help ourselves and be better. You taught me so much & I am so thankful to of found your channel. You don’t even know. ❤
First
