 Off we go What are they doing here? I figured there were some of these orange flowers growing out of the pavement up ahead Everyone was slowing down That's how he is every morning Just a happy happy baby. He's a real morning person. He didn't get that from me. Got that from the other side I think they both like mornings. Say hello to everybody. Say good morning Good morning. This truck that's why I like to be in front of the big trucks I'm just like you. I don't want to be behind the big truck. I just know better than to make a dangerous move to get in front of them So off we go. It was a busy busy weekend every weekend is it seems now. That's okay Theo had his doctor's appointment his four-month doctor's appointment. He is doing amazing the doctor was complimenting him He's ahead of the pack leading the pack He's advanced for his age. He's doing things that four months old babies are not usually capable of doing Practically able to roll over already and roll back very close. He can roll on to his side and roll back Very close being able to roll over. He can sit himself up straight in his chair and hold his neck in his core steady He's doing great. He's a healthy boy in every way Very happy to hear that he had a glowing report from the doctor While we were there I added doctors appointment to and we went to got our Costco membership That was a big day for us big day Very excited. We are now Costco members. We are part of the club. Thank you very much. Thank you They did not have trumpets playing when we entered the first time with our memberships, but I'll forgive them That's okay. There's a lot of people in there. It'd be a lot of trumpets playing all the time if everybody got the trumpets Come on in bud. Come on in get in front of me get in front of me my lane's ending over I left room for you my friend the left lanes ending up ahead there That's why I didn't move over maybe I should have moved over feel kind of bad now Should I have moved over the guy behind me didn't move over either. Okay. I don't feel bad that lane's ending I didn't want to get in that lane and you know how it works You get in the left lane to let them in and then they they lock you in that lane they come drive right beside you They don't let you back over Exactly how it works enough horsepower to go about 70 kilometers an hour But as soon as there's a passing lane Suddenly they bring out all these extra horses that they've been hiding somewhere Until the passing lane is over and then they go back down to 70 and they can't I just like to point that you know what? I shouldn't say what your case truckers the most because truckers are the most guilty of that Yeah, that's right truckers like me. I'm gonna throw a cup of you under the bus here throw you right under there Who should know how annoying that is? They're the worst ones to do that when you get to a passing lane You're going behind a truck that's doing 70 kilometers an hour suddenly. Oh suddenly they can do 120 Explanation people are just weird that way. I don't know why they don't want people to pass error as soon as you're passing As long as they want to go faster than me if they get in front of me after I slow down and they slow me down Well, then you have the wrath of Josh coming up behind you. Okay. This is cottage country here already Well a couple of jet skis in front of me here a couple of RVs that we've seen all over the place A lot of tourists a lot of travelers a lot of cottage doors. It's a great time of year to be here. I Wish I was here swimming trunks on the way to the lake. That would be great After this video go and zoom in on northern Ontario just over the border from Manitoba. Look how many lakes there are It's insane slogan used to be very similar to Minnesota's slogan Minnesota's slogan is land of 10,000 lakes We used to always chuckle at that because Manitoba's slogan was land of a hundred thousand lakes I got changed to just friendly Manitoba, which if you've been to Manitoba, you'll know that's not exactly true But please don't must be true friendly Manitoba water is your best friend today. It's a hot one Oh, this Canadian is melting again. I'm next in line I should be able to get in there soon Then we can use that crane up above there that rolls back and forth To get the tarps on there. It's just two tarps Quickly throw them on same as this guy here And then we'll be out of here. I'm okay with a little bit of a break now though. It's Need to rehydrate it's almost exactly down to the minute from the time I got to the gate to the time I rolled out of the gate now. That's a pretty good time It's almost a record. I think I don't think you can get much faster than that there down to Brainerd Hello taking me back home And then after that we have a trip Going up north in Manitoba again That's gonna be a special trip because we're gonna have the RGN trailer, which is the removable gooseneck Gotta pick up a big piece of machinery up there and bring it back. I should be fun something different again It's our favorite intersection You got traffic coming downhill around the corner from here from our left and we want to go right Please don't hit me lights. I got myself parked nearby my delivery point that I'll be delivering to you in the morning It's pretty warm out so I'm gonna put the screens in my window and see how I sleep. I like to sleep with it very cold These hot summer nights in a truck that Sometimes get to me. I can't complain because they're better than the cold nights But sometimes I have a hard time sleeping when it's too warm. This Canadian can't handle the heat that well Any of you from actual hot places would laugh at me because it's probably not hot here at all for you It's about 22 Celsius here right now It's about one in the morning Obviously Barking while it's empty. It's gonna be a good night. We'll be okay. I don't want to idle it and run the air conditioning I'll be okay. I'll figure it out. I got a fan in there and Like I said, I got those screens that I put in the window so I can get a nice breeze through there. I'll be fine But we made it from home to canora got loaded up. They're afraid We got it tarped back there and we made it all the way down here to our destination Now I did stop for two hours Earlier today during my day Which means I could probably use the split hour rule in the US tomorrow and just stop here in the sleeper berth for eight Hours and then get moving. I'm not as familiar with the split hour rules and the states just yet But we'll see what we come up with in the morning see what the e-log says If we have to stop here for the full 10, well, that's okay, too We'll stop here for the full 10. We'll go get unloaded and then I head back to the river falls back behind me Switch trailers for a loaded one and take that home And I got us telling you earlier Saturday. We have a little bit of an interesting Pick up in Gillum, Manitoba far north. That's the furthest north. I've ever been in Manitoba Way up in Gillum and I got to take the RGN trailer to pick up a piece of equipment Which is a low bed trailer and the it's like a goose neck. It's called a removable goose neck trailer RGN I've shown it in my videos before so the has a generator right on it and The neck part of it actually comes right off like you're all sure you as if it were this trailer here one sec so The trailer goes really low down to the ground there then back up over the axles in the back and this whole Part up here would detach From the trailer and then you drive the equipment onto the trailer that way Right and then reattach the trailer and that's how you load stuff. You can just drive stuff on that way That should be something different something interesting. It's quite quite a drive up to Gillum From Thompson all the way there that thinks like two hundred and some kilometers of gravel rough gravel road I'm not looking forward to that. I'm already feeling bad for old blue, but like I said If the money's down a gravel road, we go down a gravel road. I'm not Running a charity here though. I do really enjoy my job. I can't afford to do it for free so If the money is down a gravel road and there's enough money at the end of that gravel road well All blue is going down a gravel road then That's the way it goes We're whoever's got the most shiny dollars for me, you know I'm a Canadian so we have loonies to our dollar coin Whoever's got the most loonies for me They even take a couple of toonies if they're down a gravel road Just got to be careful and take it slow. I feel we don't get too many dings from the rocks That's why I want to have eventually like when I refurbish this truck in Probably a couple years. We're gonna stretch stretch the wheelbase refurbish it all I'm gonna put individual Fenders over each set of tires to keep all the rocks down because right now this front half fender We'll keep all the rocks from shooting up against my cab over there But these back ones they still get a couple through there sometimes It's from here, right? They can shoot right through there and hit the bottom of my truck and What it is Slowly make things better While at the same time chasing those loonies Thanks for watching today everybody. I'm gonna go to bed now We'll talk to you right here in the morning
