 Good morning everybody. It is Monday morning I've got to get this truck started if you remember from the last time we were in here The starter was giving us issues didn't always want to engage the engine, but we could get it running So today what I'm planning on doing it's good I still have that load to deliver today into Winnipeg has all my equipment on it has my tarps bunch of my straps portable Bungies I want those back So I like to deliver my own loads plus I Get a charge if someone else delivers my load into Winnipeg I'll deliver my own. Well, thank you very much Keep that money. Thank you. So I gotta get this truck running to get it over to the shop anyways, right? I'm pretty confident. I can get it running once more. It's just I'll be Careful not to shut it off until I get to the shop. So we're gonna get running and you hook up onto our trailer and go deliver the load It's an outdoor delivery yard. Thank goodness I'm just gonna leave the truck running. Hopefully they're all right with that because I've started our issues right now Just to get the job done get the freight delivered And then we'll drop the empty off back at work and then Bob held this truck back to the shop where I take it and They're gonna fix a couple of things while it's in there. They're gonna fix the starter One of my beacons isn't working. They're gonna take a look at that They're going to take a look at my heated mirrors, which reminds me I have to I have to grab these mirrors for them Another project that I was going to do myself Just don't have the time and since it's going in Because my heated mirrors aren't working for some reason they have to figure it out because for winter time I need my heated mirrors and I throw these in there as well So we'll figure out the heated mirror issue and just throw these ones on It's just a couple of bolts and throw these on for me and then I'll wire up the lights There's lights on the back, right? They don't have to worry about that part. I'll tell them that May as well. It's going in Get a few things done at once. Just do it once over in the truck make sure it's no little things that need to be taken care of right away Just like to make sure that I regularly have people taking a look at the trucks That's not just me looking at it because I might miss something I'll most likely see it but sometimes I miss the little things that should be replaced or that might be might be wearing out It's nice for them to take a little bit of tea. Let's get this thing started Shop door open. I'm gonna go through our rounds here It'll go. It'll go yet. Might have to tap it with a hammer. It's still here Still on my shoulders. My responsibility He's birdie. I must admit Here's my riser at the back just in case if I would need it. I did not need it All right, so pre-trip's done. I'm hooked up here. I'm all ready to roll out Go get this off the trailer as quickly as possible come back here bring them back their trailer I'll take my equipment and then I'm taking the truck to my shop not my shop but the shop So I'm filming this on Monday September 19th 2022 and today was the state funeral of our majesty queen elizabeth the second And I haven't watched through the whole thing yet. I've been watching The most I can online Is that the canadian the royal canadian mounted police were leading the funeral procession? I thought that was pretty special Canadian mounted police are our their federal federal police in canada They operate under the crown the queen was their commissioner in chief now the king is their their head boss and Canada sent 100 service people Over to be part of the funeral procession Members from the royal navy from the royal air force the royal canadian sorry the royal air force That's british royal canadian air force and the royal canadian navy different from the royal navy of britain No, these ones are ours We had members from the canadian army. I'm not sure why the title of royal isn't in front of canadian but From everywhere. I've seen it's just called The canadian army the royal canadian mounted police as well The federal police. They're also municipal police in steinback where I live. There are local police as well So if there's any issues in steinback where someone calls the police the rcmp show up Whereas in other towns like winkler and yonzi other side of the river They have their own winkler police force I don't i'm not sure why steinback doesn't have their own police force yet I've wondered that for a long time Don't get me wrong the mounies do a great job I would like to see them as a presence in the community more. You don't see them patrolling that often But all in all the community we live in is pretty safe Not perfect has its issues Now, let me let me tell you the police earn their pay, but we got the mounies in steinback Anywhere's in the countryside as well except for cobec in ontario where they have their own provincial police It's a bit of a complicated system, isn't it? But anyways, that's just besides the point my point was that canada was leading the funeral procession And I thought that was a great honor I smiled pretty big when I saw that that was uh, nice of them to allow us to do that And they were riding horses that were gifted to the queen by the rcmp What a big event though. Hey, I was watching all the world leaders show up yesterday For the funeral and like everybody who's everybody from around the globe was in one place at the same time kind of freaky, right? a little bit freaky But the security must have been off the charts in london Off the charts you imagine security you got to provide for all of these leaders Like there's got to be some really bad people out there around the world that would love to take this opportunity to make a big a big What's a good word for it? That won't get me banned a big kerfluffle You know but I think all in all the funeral went pretty well And I think today marks the last day of mourning across the commonwealth I think tomorrow we're back to flags at full mass full staff and uh, you know Moving on with life with king charles the third Everybody loved the queen though. Everybody. She was a good woman. She was uh, very nice She was like the the grandmother of so many nations so many people And she was up there for so long So that's what's going on today if you're wondering. It's a federal holiday today, but I'm still working It's not a provincial holiday. So not everybody got the day off in canada Just federal employees and federal regulated. We are federally regulated Though it's not my I don't know. I'm not in the office. I think it's time and a half For people in the office. Maybe not. Maybe that's not how that works And I saw that the president of the us showed up as well With his huge enormous presidential convoy You knew when the u.s president got there I was watching all the world leaders. Like I said arrive at the funeral online right as a live stream I was watching them all arrive And everybody's you know coming in there and you know nice little government escorts and All of a sudden Everything gets cleared out and this huge convoy will have these big massive american trucks and suvs show up You know radar jammers and everything And everybody's like, oh here comes the u.s They're a big tank of a limo the beast But it was good to see it. It really symbolizes the Restored relationship between the united states and the crown Everybody knows they have not always seen eye to eye 1775 comes to comes to mind. They they really didn't like the crown for a while But it's good to see that in 2022 The united states and our crown are You know the closest friends ever very close friends and they stand together So that was good to see that Show of support my president, uh, their president biden showing up Whether you like him or not It was nice the symbolic Presence there was nice Ready to go. I'm actually gonna drop this trailer at one of our customers in winnipegs that they can preload it Take my tarps with me and I'm gonna head to the top to get my uh, my truck look deck at the starter fix And uh, some of you have asked which is a valid question very good question because I asked the same one Why do they tarp pipes if they just put them outside? We tarp them so that the road grime and salt doesn't get on them. I believe these Pipes are used for drinking water And with this being used for drinking water You don't want all that grime and stuff coming out of your tap at home. Do you? I'm pretty sure you want those pipes going into the ground as clean as possible. At least I know I would so The customer asks us to tarp it. We don't ask questions. We don't ask why we just tarp it But I did ask why Not in a bad way. I just like oh cool. This is what is this used for like is there a reason for the tarp And yeah, once they explain it, it's oh, oh, obviously dumb question, right? But no, it's not a dumb question. I had the same question Drinking water Gotta try to protect the pipes as much as possible. They don't want them all full of grime here either Customer wants a tarp we we put a tarp on there the customer wants a little bow on top. We put a little bow on top That's how we do it Diesel come here. Come on in. Thank you very much. I always wait for permission to enter. Thank you my king Yes, Lord diesel Lord of all weasels And the way we do This is just Chevy McFluff Are you trying to eat my hand? so we got that load delivered real quick and Dropped that trailer off at one of our customers and one of pegs what I didn't even have to bring it back to the yard and Brought the truck to PBX That's where I get the work done to my my truck. I can't give them a good enough review I do like to give reviews whether good or bad. It's usually on google or something when I Have an experience with the business. I like to let other people know the experience I had and PBX is a great shop They're located in Blumenort, Manitoba, and they really do a good job when my truck was in there They they not only do the work that I'm paying them to do they go above and beyond To go over my truck to see if there's anything else that needs to be done. Obviously That's in their interest as well because they want to see if you know, they can make more money off my truck I get it. That's it's a good business move though I'm glad that they do that and I said it before because I miss things sometimes and I want to Another pair of eyes to look over my truck To see if I did miss anything and if anything needs to be done It's not that they do the work without asking. They would always ask first But they'll let me know things that should be done right away or should be done soon that way You know, it's more than just me keeping tabs on that truck and that truck Like my truck's been serviced there for like over 10 years I think through the whole lifespan of the truck. It's gone to PBX there So they have a long history on the truck And they know it like the back of their hand. So when it comes in, uh, they know what truck they're dealing with and Now they know the owner as well. What I like about them is when I walk in the door that they know me by name I walk in the door like, hey, josh, they'll have the info of my truck pulled up right away I don't even got to tell them which truck is mine or who I am It's it's been a very personal experience and uh, I really enjoy Having a shop that I can trust Work on the truck. They do a really good job So, uh, a few things getting done to the truck excuse all the chaos in the background here And we're washing the dog beds There was an incident I'm filming this a few days later. So, uh, uh, you'll see in the upcoming vlogs Chevy wasn't feeling 100% yesterday and we had to wash the dog beds. But anyway, um What was I saying? Yes, a few things were getting done to the truck. I'm getting those mirrors installed They're heated mirrors the ones that I had bought may as well since it's in there The main thing it's going in for is a new starter My starter was shot They're also, uh What else was there? One of my exhaust bushings was worn My hood cables were frayed There's a few other things that they're that they're looking at. Well, it's and I figure Well, it's in there. We may as well get a few things done all at once And I can enjoy my anniversary weekend So thanks for hanging out with me everybody and I appreciate it There's gonna be a few days at home now and we'll be back on the road probably end of the week sometime
