For YouTube's Life in a Day, Hank shows his busy Missoula Saturday (farmers' market, garden plot, chickens, a water park) and answers the project's questions, ending with his love of video and thanks to those involved.

What is said

The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).

00:00:00 — YouTube's Life in a Day and its three questions; what's in Hank's pocket: Droid X, waterproof camera, pills

  • ★★ On Saturday, the day of YouTube's Life in a Day project asking the world to document their lives and answer three questions, Hank films his day for John. — 00:00:00 · YouTube
  • ★★ Answering 'what is in your pocket', Hank shows his brand-new, huge Droid X ('like holding an iPad up to my ear'), a waterproof camera and the pills he takes every day. (playful) — 00:00:00

00:00:29 — Missoula farmers' market: fried egg sandwich, peanut curry, Lemon in the heat, jugglers; kayakers on the Clark Fork

  • ★★ At Missoula's farmers' market, a big deal in town, a cook made Katherine a fried egg sandwich (as for about a thousand others) and Hank got peanut curry. — 00:00:29 · Missoula, Montana, Katherine Green
  • ★ On one of the hottest days of the year, Hank shows one of his dog Lemon's strategies for coping with heat. (playful) — 00:00:29
  • ★★ They watched jugglers, less impressive to Hank since seeing Rootberry perform, then kayakers on the Clark Fork's kayak wave, which still impress him. — 00:00:58

00:01:27 — The community garden plot on cemetery land (dill, onions, beets, sunflowers); friends from Portland; a friend's chickens

  • ★ At the garden plot Hank notes they have sunflowers too, telling John he doesn't have to go to Germany to see sunflowers. (playful) — 00:01:27 · John Green
  • ★★ Because their condo has no yard, Hank and Katherine keep a community garden plot, cheaply rented from the cemetery on condition it can be reclaimed for burials. — 00:01:52 · Katherine Green
  • ★ They visited friends from Portland and tended the chickens of a friend who raises chickens for a living. — 00:01:52

00:02:21 — Splash Montana water park: lounging, a taco-on-Doritos snack, the slides

  • ★★ At Splash Montana, quaint and tiny by the standards of Hank's Florida childhood, they mostly lounged, Katherine ate a taco-topped bag of Doritos, and they rode slides. — 00:02:21 · Florida, Katherine Green

00:02:50 — Answer to 'what am I afraid of' on a slide; Katherine's Pizza Pipeline sign song; 'what do you love' is hard to answer

  • ★★ Asked what he is afraid of, Hank answers from a slide that he is most scared that the wonderful way he lives today will ruin things for generations to come. — 00:02:50

00:03:25 — Hank loves the things in the video and making video; thanks to everyone involved; sign-off

  • ★★★ Hank finds 'what do you love' too hard to answer briefly; he loves everything in the video (juggling, farmers' markets, babies, friends, cats, Doritos, water parks) and making video, and what it represents. — 00:03:25
  • ★★ Hank thanks everyone involved in 'this' (making video), from John, who had the idea in the first place, to everyone who watches and makes it possible. — 00:03:25 · John Green
