 white stuff on my truck on the ground all around me good thing it's melting as soon as it hits the road at least you should have seen this all night like I didn't park in those lines on purpose I parked off on the side in the back because if you park in those lines you get blocked in when I woke up this morning there was truck after truck after truck parked this way for some reason here at the kicking horse rest area the eastern edge of BC in the trans-Canada nobody ever parks in the lines and I think that's because if you do those lines go so close to that barrier up there if you do and someone parts beside you you can't get out so people don't even bother so whoever painted the lines on here should have made them much further back but what do I know what do I know all I know is that you don't park in the lines here because you'll get blocked in people will just park all around you can't get out in the morning it's happened more than once anyways how you doing today we should get on the road we got a long way to go let's see how far we can get today we got about 1600 kilometers to get to home not gonna make it today I'm hoping to make it to at least like let's say somewhere between Moose jaw to Belgoni any further than that is bonus points alright well as the the Sun is getting higher in the sky there and as I'm waking up the snow is slowing down quite a bit that's good I'm not too worried about the roads being slippery it's not that cold yet it's just I don't want the snow to start falling any faster diesel how you doing man you look pretty comfy back there yeah man I'm all ready to go lights are on we're in gear everything's done rock and roll spot against the back there that I like the part because like this guy again he just pulled in here too that's how everyone pulls in and they stay like that all night they don't actually use the lines which makes sense because they don't make the lines don't make sense so just a heads up if you come to kicking horse restaurant if you do park in the lines you may not be able to move in the morning you had a dilemma that washer fluid I put in this morning silly me that was summer washer fluid it froze yeah so I had to stop and get the in general the whatever the jet the ejectors you know the thing the spray things I had to get them to work again they were all frozen up so I had to just blow hot air on them until they let the fluid flow again and then I just had to drain the entire washer fluid that I just put in there stop here in Canmore grab a bunch of winter washer fluid run that through the system I'm glad that I found that I was close to town here because I couldn't use my washer fluid it froze up on me and everybody's spraying dirt up at my windshield but that's okay because we got Timmy's though I'm disappointed Canmore your Timmy's doesn't have espresso either their espresso machine was also down is this like a British Columbia Alberta thing because if you're taking out the espresso machines for good you gotta let me know you gotta let me know this is important information I'm gonna have to find somewhere else to get my coffee then why so serious man this is serious business serious business me trucking this is serious business I wish I could make it home today I'm still 1,097 kilometers from home it's like 660 miles or so and I've got thanks random voice in my computer five hours and 13 minutes of remaining drive time but that's only until midnight at midnight central time I get more hours because I drove past midnight yesterday one second what do we got here we got there we go okay so I drove till what's that say there I drove till this is my logbook from yesterday where's it say start start okay I drove told 140 in the morning that means I took an hour and 40 minutes out of today's 13 hours of driving so at midnight I get that hour and 40 minutes back get it it's a little different than the US hours of service they're both really confusing there's some things that are really confusing about Canadian hours of service and there's some things that are very confusing and don't make sense about US hours of service but hey it's all government bureaucracy it's all government regulation you know they keep piling it up piling it up I like the idea of you know if you're gonna put a new regulation on them like find another one or two to remove okay or let's just leave it the same but they keep adding and adding and adding regulations and it gets more and more and more complicated and my mom's an accountant I can't imagine how she keeps up with it she's been self-employed doing well I don't think she was self-employed the whole time but she's been an accountant for 40 years now I think and man the things she knows the the loophole here the loophole there that one got closed this one opened this over here this goes here this goes there you take this income from here and that income from there you put it over here you put yourself in this tax bracket over here blah blah blah blah it's so confusing I can't wrap my head around it I've often told her like you're gonna have to sit me down and explain this all to me one day because you know one day I'm gonna have to do my own taxes my mom does my taxes for me because she's brilliant when it comes to that kind of stuff it's what she does just sort of like this is what I do that's what she does and she's really good at it so I've never had to do my own taxes but I don't know how she keeps up with everything it's insane I grew up she was self-employed so she was at home as I was growing up I never had to go to a daycare or anything like that I was always at home with my mom she worked from home and the amount of paperwork and she's got everything organized she knows where everything is and filing cabinets galore it's it's pretty crazy but it's pretty impressive at the same time impressive takes a lot of brains and that's sort of how it is with the regulations on the trucking to everything keeps changing all the time you got to stay on top of it not getting any closer to home sitting around here though though now that we're on the prairies there's very little holding us back you know when you're going through the mountains you got to worry about traffic first of all there's always that one guy or girl who slows down to like 60 kilometers slows way down for the corner and then as soon as there's an open passing lane suddenly their their vehicle can do 150 right there's no way you can get past them but you're always stuck behind them because they slow down as soon as the passing line is gone so frustrating then you got to worry about weather and you know rock slides avalanches all this other stuff twisting winding roads you don't want to fall off a cliff and die well now we're on the prairies and all you got to worry about is a moose crossing the road at the exact wrong time and that rarely happens this far south down on well yeah rarely I think I can confidently say that rarely happens along the trans-Canada here because it's such a busy road the moose have learned to stay away from it I think and the wildlife in general plus there's fencing along both sides of the road that deters them if you go further up north like into a Yukon on your way to Alaska up the Alaska highway you got herds of massive bison like 4,000 pound bison that are just standing in the middle of the road at night like a whole herd of them like 30 of them so you got to be very careful you don't want to hit one of them there I would say they would do more damage than a moose but it all depends because the moose you take out their legs the moose comes over on top of your vehicle or through your windshield a bison is just a big wall of muscle and meat and horns like they you don't want to hit a bison they're massive got a little over obsessed with Tim Hortons again lately I don't know what's going on but I need another one here in medicine that I know this is red cliff Alberta just across the valley from medicine at Alberta and it just about blew past this place but then I remembered hey I don't know what's going on gotta have my timmies wonder what they put in it all right coffee and hand we shall drive across this land it'll actually be in the cup holder that just doesn't rhyme as well we're comfy these are you comfy you got water oh no you need water diesel should have said something man there you go just for you what's water I got left in here I got a few okay not need you to tell me what to do but there's a boulevard in the way here yeah I can't go straight cuz that doesn't lead through to those lights I gotta go around the block and that'll take me back I gotta wash these windows man and that window diesel your nose art it's very beautiful but it's getting a little bit excessive man one of these days you got to start clearing your own sketchboard you know let's let's turn left on Broadway Evan how about that diesel Broadway she says Avenue weird right everybody watch out here we go here we go right after this guy you ready diesel oh here we go actually not quite this isn't the main road yet they got a new Burger King here though that's what Steinbeck needs Steinbeck needs a Burger King we got everything else we hate we even have a Walmart kind of a tragedy isn't a diesel for travesty what's the word tragedy it's sad that we have all of this you know we got a superstore we got a Walmart got a whole bunch of Tim Hortons but we don't have a Burger King I think Wendy's is being built in Steinbeck right now we even got a Starbucks in town for the elite among us and the hipsters the handful of hipsters we got in Steinbeck they have their Frappadapachino's now every day but we don't have a Burger King ages at the same level right now so I'm gonna go to bed recharge my batteries and we'll be back on the road tomorrow morning hope you join us don't forget to subscribe and hit that like button see you in the morning
