 morning everybody it is Friday morning we're at home today we've got to run out right of ways and get eggs and milk so we can have breakfast Chevy you told me you needed to go outside you just want to look at this yard just sticks everywhere you know I've got to clean that up crazy guys so yeah I'm gonna go get some breakfast for us cook something up and we'll get this day on the road morning I was talking to the baby I think she fell back to sleep again so she was just kicking up a storm it's tiny little legs they really hurt like you imagine when they get to there's a lot of you can't imagine a lot of you've been there 22 weeks and a few days right yeah we're getting there sure today's all about these guys right here these three specifically yeah they all have annual vet appointments are gonna get some needles you want a needle Chevy why are you running to me I'm not gonna save you diesel is the only one of our dogs that doesn't need any shots this till May so he's staying home by himself like a big boy he's gonna hate it he hasn't been at home alone since before I met her or since before she moved in and well he's been in the truck alone but he's he doesn't really like it because he's gotten so used to having his buddy Chevy everywhere so we'll see how that goes we're just getting ourselves ready to go hello everybody I'd say good morning but it's not good morning the time is just after 6 30 p.m. it's Sunday I'm here with old blue I want to get these new stickers put on now as you all know when these stickers were put on here this was an oops somebody misspelled this entire thing this is supposed to be an E this D is supposed to be lowercase and there's supposed to be a little house on top of that and it's supposed to be a lot smaller and at the bottom of my door so I went and got new stickers made myself supposed to be right there so I'm gonna stick this on and clean it off and then stick that on and then slowly peel this off real carefully it's gonna have the town name on there on this side because of this window here they couldn't even fit it here they had to put it down there so it's totally different on both sides but now I've got another one right there you see now this will be there and it'll be even on both sides of the door see what you guys think huh gonna be better right once that bigger name is off of there can heat it up a little bit you have to stick one over it with my old snap card here a little bit so it's been a little bit of a task getting stickers like this made for me had some bad luck with the local printing place in town that seems to be not so creative when retaining customers I ordered new stickers new jackals there right and I ordered a couple other ones and eight weeks went past and every time I'd call in they would just say oh yeah I don't know what happened here I don't know what's going on let me look into this and we'll get back to you right away never go back to me never called me back once once so I wanted to support local but apparently they don't want to support me they got against me but man and that's not the first time either Brits had somewhat the same experience there I believe was bred a couple other people it's just customer services lacking so oh well right you don't want to serve your customers your customers won't serve you so I went and got these online okay now I'm a little bit hesitant about doing that I got them from car stickers calm actually and they look like the same quality as the other ones here and I can make them custom to say whatever I want so I ordered them we'll see how they do I think it'll be just fine I just cleaned this whole surface off here really well let it dry now I got this on here and heated up a little bit so the glue sticks a little bit better and then we'll peel off the plastic and see what it looks like don't want to warm it up too much but you know just enough to warm up that little bit stick a little bit better all right let's give it a shot should be good man oh oh oh oh you got the old one up here and you got the correct spelling the new one down here right on that means we can take off these bigger ones now but I'll go to the other side first so much better so better it's gonna look so much better so what do you think I think it looks a lot cleaner a lot better very often less is more right on this side here much better right the only thing is have to get some goo gone maybe but it's not that you can still see the name here the camera picking it up figure out how to get that off any of you got any ideas that's why I didn't want it on the stainless steel in the first place but here we are much better which I could see it at more of a distance that just looks a lot clean more cleaned up and so the decals or the decals here seem to be of pretty high quality just like everything else I don't have any thoughts that they could peel off we'll give them a week or two and then I'm gonna order the old blue deco for up there and new ones to the side of my cab here as well where they're a little bit more cleaned up and new unit numbers as well up here because this was put on crooked as you can see they lined it up with the line of the hood and not level bothers me so I'll fix it okay it's fine it's fine I'll take care of you old blue don't you worry I got you I got you here good truck yeah yeah we got the winter front on here I explained that to you last week right and I was gonna show you this is how it clips on just these little guys here they turn that way and it comes off and there that holds it on there so it's built exactly for this truck and then here you can untwist these here and close these all and then you know twist them back on there so depending on how cold it gets once it gets kind of cold I'll close up two of them and then once it gets really cold like Manitoba cold you close all of them and it keeps your keeps your engine warm especially when you're trying to stay warm overnight or warm when you're parked and you got a really cold wind coming right into the front of your truck while you're parked there even on the highway you know it's so cold up here in the winter that you need that it doesn't affect the air flow for the engine the air for the engine itself gets sucked in through the air cleaners here right that goes into the engine through the turbo and what not this is just for the the radiator in the coolant and when it's minus 50 outside it doesn't need the air flow on it it enough air like goes under the under the bumper up onto the engine there that it's totally fine if you've never experienced minus 50 before I I don't know how to explain it to you think of cold the coldest thing you can think of okay you got that in your mind okay it's colder than that it's so cold that if I leave my truck sitting overnight outside the diesel fuel in my tanks could turn to gel and plug up my filters all kinds of problems that come from the cold but as long as you prepare for it you know there's ways around it there's always ways to win against the weather us humans are pretty innovative and innovative we are pretty innovative we're pretty innovative and we find ways to conquer our environment all the time look at my rims though they're not as shiny and polished that's what winter does to them so in springtime I'm gonna bring this truck to get polished again all the rims tanks stacks and that headache rack I want that to be a mirror finish next summer there's no point in doing it now because unfortunately when you drive truck up here in the north and in in Canada there is no have there is no driving a Cadillac polished truck there's no such thing you clean it as often as you can and you keep it clean but this you see how this is it's somewhat clean right I washed all the salt off of it and best I could ten minutes before I even get to the yard where I pick up my trailer it's gonna be covered in road grime and salt again so it's you want to call it a losing battle but in the end we do win the war because summer's coming eventually as long as Australia doesn't get too greedy with our sunlight again like they did last year wasn't very nice thought you were our family I've been home for a couple of days now I've had a really short week this week I've been taking it easy we had our Christmas banquet from work this last Friday that was a lot of fun Monday we had an appointment right ultrasound so I left Tuesday night delivered Wednesday morning picked up Wednesday afternoon delivered Thursday and then came home in time for the the Christmas banquet what else we have going on this weekend Saturday and Sunday well it's Sunday today today sort of our day to relax tomorrow we have a vet appointment for all the dogs all at once so I'm staying home to help Brit with that because she's pregnant right now and two of our boys are a little bit big and she doesn't want to get pulled over on the ice and I don't want her to get pulled over and fall on the ice either just bringing the dogs to get their annual shots so I'm gonna stay home helper with that in the morning and then call
