 we just left sock center minnesota on our way down towards michigan we'll probably make it well we'll make it through chicago tonight and i want to make it past gary indiana there and uh probably stop somewhere around south bend i'm not too sure the place we're going to is called byron center michigan which is south of the right south of grand rapids michigan it almost looks like it's part of the same city which it might be i don't know over a full day's drive from there yet so we're gonna we'll get as close as we can tonight and we're going to deliver this lumber that we have on our flatbed behind us in the morning all right it looks like it's not too busy right now here at this intersection kerfluffle where you get off the 694 in minneapolis get back on the 94 this is on the east side of the city this is usually just a cluster of people come on too bad today keep less time ramp till i 94 it is so nice to have the warm weather back right now oh it's a great cake can we get onto this road here now how's this i'm just working out here people come on move move move nobody's coming nobody's coming go go go go go go go go all right i don't like this interchange at all but it works it's just a it could work better if it was built different but hey look at all the construction here though maybe they are actually fixing it maybe they'll make it better just gotta be a lot of fender benders that happen there here's my load it's a little windy out here right now this camera doesn't always deal well with the wind when i don't use my mic but i just stopped at a rest area in wisconsin here just south of black river falls i'm gonna let diesel diesel i'm gonna let diesel i'm gonna let diesel stretch his legs here in the field for a little bit hey diesel come here come here bud diesel hey hey hey hey trying to get your attention buddy come here come here you'll be happy you can't believe me all right bud come good boy i'm not sure exactly what this is it almost looks like a park that's been overgrown the rest area is right behind us over here down here well maybe this is where they have their septic fields for the rest area pretty far away from the building but i guess that's necessary sometimes well i'm not this huge open grass area back here that's pretty nice hey diesel what a beautiful day look at that sun oh this weather is perfect summer time's gonna get a little too hot but this this is my favorite time of year something's running over here it sounds like a big fan of some sort yeah this has got to be their septic what caution blower must push air a lot of treatment interesting so that thing's over there they still got all of this and it's got all these sticks and poles everywhere you see that it's almost like they're gonna build roads through here or something all these little mounds like that this is obviously cleared for a reason and i just realized something diesel we forgot to lock the doors on the truck i gotta go back and lock the doors i don't trust nobody come on diesel now i feel better are you guys the same way i lock everything all the time and my wife does exactly the same thing except with her whenever i leave the house and go to the garage to come back all the doors are locked and i'm locked out every time but i don't want to discourage that right it's a good habit to be in let's go run for a bit longer diesel it's gonna have you on the lease while we're around the big trucks here let's go back to the field man i want to check out your pole let me tell you very very nice it's a very nice pole diesel that is now yours you have your very own light pole good boy good boy let's go run you have to take this lease off first man don't go too far wander off the path a little bit just exploring the wisconsin bush here a little bit of the woods this is beautiful it reminds me a lot of our property back home this is what i live for oh what's this that's definitely not what i live for that looks like a like an empty grave seriously why else would this hole be dug here you can tell somebody dug it up because there's a big mound there a hole there obviously to bury something but they didn't finish they just dug the hole freaky all right wisconsin officially creeped me out this just came over me as i was coming back to the truck with diesel maybe it's all the sunlight my body is just not used to it maybe i'm a vampire i don't know i had to stop for a little nap so i keep going we still have another six hours so we can drive today yet but glad we had that little hour power nap any more time for any breaks other than just the necessities we'll most likely be picked up a day after tomorrow and that's taking us over to edmonton and if we're lucky maybe brit will jump in the truck as we pass by home well nightfall is upon us came pretty quickly actually i feel great much better than i did before it does make things time pass by a little quicker i guess makes sense we're coming or going around madison wisconsin right now a little further south of here at the border with illinois we're gonna stop at the flying jay grab some fuel and a coffee i have four and a half hours left we're going to be taking the route around chicago just so i can avoid the city a little bit it's a few miles further to go around on a little bit more comfortable of a drive i'm trying it there's less tolls there too we'll see what happens all right we have eight minutes to pull off the road here which we have and find a parking spot at the flying jay or pilot whatever pilot flying jay same thing hopefully they have room for us near oh what's that city i think we're near south bend indiana we're into indiana anyways here's the pilot off to our right i haven't been here in a very long time so i don't remember how much parking there is oh i hope that there's something because i got eight minutes seven very soon i'll have to make a spot if i can't find one i hate doing that okay let's see what we can find here oh i hope we're lucky enough to have a spot but it looks full i know it's dark you can't really see anything here because the yard light isn't isn't working boy oh boy well there will be a spot here that's what i'll say there will be whether we have to make one or not that is the question well diesel that was a little risky i must say and look at this front and center we've got a front row spot someone must have just pulled out of here so that's that uh lucky us there's only one spot i don't know what i would have done otherwise all the extra spots that you could have possibly made into a parking spot were taken as well so that was a little bit risky i wouldn't recommend doing that have a better trip plan of where you're going to stop i was trying to get as far as i could today and i pushed it a little bit far but we stayed within the law and we didn't have to go over time or nothing so all is good so i'm going to walk the weasel right now and tomorrow i'll take you along to unload this lumber and then we'll end the vlog there so i'll see you first thing in the morning it'll be a couple seconds for you be a whole night's rest for me see you in a bit here we go another day about to be put into the books just finished our pre-trip again and now i am about to head back out on the road we need to get to our delivery our reload will be reloading us tomorrow morning so they did agree to that so that's good lights are on everything is ready to go let's get out of here so we have about another two hours to go it's 11 o'clock right now that my e-log finally let me go so we should be getting there around one o'clock i gotta be there before three so we have two hours wiggle room i think that's safe enough my reload actually wanted to reload me before three o'clock today too but they're another like six hours away yet and probably not gonna make it but that's okay because i'll load it tomorrow morning and i'll still easily make it to my destination in edmonton alberta for monday they actually wanted their monday or tuesday so i have some wiggle room there too but i want to be there monday morning oh you want to give everybody a nose kiss how nice you guys are very good looking very nice looking people that's a nice thing to say to them diesel they'll be you all shy now we're here at our uh delivery now made it on time there goes some right there taking more off over there i got two guys unloading me right now we're gonna have an empty trailer after this loading it all up there all that lumber came from canada i've noticed that a lot of lumber comes from canada i think it's one of our main exports so once we're empty here we start making our way to ontario i have to stop somewhere and get some donage though i'm gonna ask the guys here if they have any garbage wood that they're just going to throw away i need six eight foot two by fours for donage for my next load and i don't have any donage with me so i gotta either go buy it from like a home depot or a rona or something well i guess rona is canadian they wouldn't be in the states probably like a loze i guess loze is american right rona is kind of like the canadian home depot same thing same store just canadian uh but home depots are also in canada anyways side topics i gotta go find a store that can sell me that wood if these guys don't have anything i can have i'm kind of hoping they got some garbage wood you know they don't need they may find some charity in their heart to give to a poor trucker so i don't have to pay for my own donage not that it costs a lot but it would just be time wise it would save a lot of time just picking it up from right here but we'll see i've never requested that before but you'll find out tomorrow i gotta end today's vlog here
