 Morning everybody from just east of Thunder Bay, Ontario in Canada. I slept right here tonight We woke up in the exact same spot. I checked we didn't even move an inch. It's awesome Good, we're gonna put air into the brakes of the trailer Release those when I went underneath the trailer in the morning here. I thought that the trailer was hooked on I'm just gonna do a little tug test before I leave just to ensure that my eyes weren't lying to me Because you know those lion eyeballs You got to make sure at least I do I'm paranoid though So I've been told for you don't need to do a tug test every day. No, I don't need to do a tug test every day either I mean I know but Do it anyway. I don't have to keep it on the road either. I mean I could put it in ditch I just choose not to you know, I choose keep it on the road. So I I Don't know what I know not everybody does I know what I I check every single morning That's just my little that's just my little thing that I do. I would recommend it I mean it seems like it makes sense, right? I Got my coffee right here Okay, okay big shout out to Dave who came up here in his red gravel truck and said hi to me just before I was about to roll Oh, it was actually just getting you guys ready to be mounted up on my head here and Making sure all my last-minute checks were done and he came up said hi to me Really nice really cool when you guys do that. I love I love meeting you guys. I was awesome I've been watching me for about eight years. He said I keep forgetting how long I've been doing this I mean I say it like I've been doing this online for what 11 12 years But it doesn't feel that long, you know, it really doesn't feel that long CB on Channel 19 if you guys ever passed by me on the highway and you want to say hi while we're rolling I'm on channel 19 like everyone else. I usually do have my radio on unless if I'm listening to my music It's a really good song. I'm really into it. Okay, just so I don't if I don't answer Sorry, probably listen to my music. All right, let's roll forward a couple of feet This guy beside me has a flat tire on this trailer He's sleeping right now, but I'm sure he noticed it when he walked around last night. I'll get that fixed before he goes Okay, here we go We will be home tonight approximately, ah, let's say between eight and nine hours from our yard just got to drop this trailer and Head off to my shop And old blues got some plans for the next few weeks getting a service job getting a few other little things done to it Getting a detail That's why it's so cold in here. I'm turning the heat on it's coming this way All right, let's go. It's supposed to be snow in Manitoba falling from the sky Terrible terrible That's no way to welcome me home 30 centimeters this week not all at once but 30 centimeters this week That's a that's a foot foot of snow I'm done with this stuff, you know on how heavy I am I'm actually I'd be too heavy to drive in the US on their highways in Canada here I'm legal still but I'm pretty much up to my max so I can I can tell old blues been working to pull this thing Plus it's a van trailer, right? So well, I got a very low roof This truck is built for hauling open deck and no problem. It's just it's like I got a big parachute behind me Right so all that weight pulling up the hills plus a parachute She's been a little thirsty, let's say even a little bit of a thirsty ride home Parking at Walmart. I hurt my feelings man kerfluffle in the truck parking there. I mean you had to be careful I guess they got tired of it I don't know why it's kind of bugs me when those big box stores don't want trucks Nearby them like I can understand like don't get me wrong sometimes you don't want heavy trucks on your expensive asphalt plan to Limit the amount of customers you can Take money from you know in exchange for goods and services You want to expand it as much as possible and truckers got to eat to you know We got a shop too hours away from where I'm gonna drop this trailer at our Manitoba terminal There I bobtailed in my shop and take it from there two more kilometers. We are just about there I'm not gonna fuel up my tanks my fuel probably gonna be pretty low when I park it in my shop I don't want to have that big fuel bill Right before I have some time off So I'll fill it up when I get back on the road unless it gets too low. I mean I don't want to park it on E but my load is also very heavy and I'm trying to keep my fuel below About two-thirds just for weight reasons I've been eating a few too many donuts. So I gotta watch how much fuel I put in my tank Close we are to the legal limit sometimes I wonder you know these logs They've got straps going over them, right? Obviously, but there's a lot in the middle that have no load-securement touching them As a flat better myself that would freak me out It freaks me out a little bit going behind them. I've never seen one like vibrate and fall out the end But you know if you hit a big enough bump it could easily happen Like those logs in the middle there those smaller ones there the straps not even touching them But I guess the weight of the other ones they're sort of pinned together. So they're sort of pinned in there I get it, but too risky for me, but Maybe that's all you can do right logs like that. I've hauled like poles like telephone poles and stuff And sometimes it's the same thing The straps don't only hold the load down it pins it all together squishes everything together, right? And then the outside poles are squishing against the inside ones and And the friction of that is holding it in place sort of pinning everything together even if the strap doesn't touch it Probably the same idea he is definitely being paid by the hour though I'll tell you that I've been following him for a while on the way up to Dryden here. He is definitely paid by the hour No rush in his mind. I would like to get by him, but I'm pretty heavy myself So whenever there's a passing lane It's a little difficult to try and pass people Because they usually have the passing lanes on the uphill right and then I lose all my momentum But you see if we would have been doing the speed limit at this point already We wouldn't have been losing so much momentum now and all our stuff out and This is going to be my project for the next couple of days This is why I parked the truck a little earlier than well than when we're expecting Our son to arrive so I have time to clean this all up Get this all thrown in the garbage Organize this all make it look like an actual neat shop get my little editing area here actually properly set up Get the bullsnot bar uncluttered So that's looks a bit better and that's all our stuff from at home I mean that's pretty well as organized as it's gonna get maybe I can build like something to hide it Well, I just leave it But I do have lots of projects in here for the next couple of weeks So I'll be at home and I'll be in here So there's gonna be a whole variety of different content coming now on my channel for the next month or so We will be back in the truck the latest in May. So it'll be a few weeks So stick around there will be some fun content coming in the future before we get back in the truck I'm also planning on going into the city to get a new camera or at least look at a new camera I've had my eye on one. I hope they have one in stock It's different because I've been using GoPro cameras And I usually always use GoPro cameras because they're easy to use you can fit them in your pocket You can strap them to your head you can strap them to the dash always hands-free you can like mount them outside the truck It's very handy and stuff, right? But I have something else in mind. I want to wait to show you
