 Hi, my name is Erin from Stout Port and you're watching Trucker Josh on TJV. Hello there, future Josh coming at you. And the future weasel. Guys, always forget about your weasel. Diesel, no one forgets about you. You're the most important thing on this vlog. What do you mean a shame? Most important person. Thanks mate. I have a secret message for you from the future. This is going to be a two part vlog. The first part of the vlog we're going to be going into Winnipeg. Britt's got her procedure. She's going to explain all of that in detail in the upcoming clips. After that we come back home. I've got to get that new bumper installed on the W900. Get it all ready for the road. I also need a power cooler. I'm going to have to go find one of those. We'll see what we can find at the store. Thanks for tuning in and watching the vlog I put together for you. I appreciate it. We have one more day here at home and then we hit the road tomorrow. As you can tell I'm already on the road. I'm here in Balgoni, Saskatchewan. Oh, that was a spoiler alert. I'm at it west. That's for tomorrow's video though. This is today's. Alright, let's go into Winnipeg. Let's get that procedure done. It's a very important one. And then let's get that bumper put on the truck. It's a very important bumper. Not as important as the appointment. That's why we're doing the appointment first and then the bumper. And then we'll hit the road. Thanks. Thanks for being you and being there. Click in the video. You guys want to know what it is? So it is called an endometrial receptivity. Hold on. That's not the right screen. Sorry guys. Endometrial receptivity array. I thought it was analysis. It's an array. Very fancy. So basically what they're doing is, I'm not sure exactly what tools they're using but they're going up. Sorry guys, through the cervix. And they're biopsying my endometrial lining. They're checking to see if this would be a good time. Wow, that guy just cut in front of you real quick. No blinker. Come here, you're giving us a stink eye. Yeah, with it buddy. Come here. Anyways, they are checking to see if my lining is ready to receive an embryo. So this is a mock trial month where I'm on the same drugs. I would be for an actual implantation of an embryo. They're basically seeing like, is my body ready? Was it ready a few days ago? Is it gonna be ready in a couple of days? So like, they're trying to pinpoint an exact window because we only have two embryos to work with. Most people have more. Well, I shouldn't say most, but a lot of people have more. So they're basically taking all of the necessary steps to ensure, not ensure success because they can't guarantee it, but to make our chances better of having a successful implantation and a baby. A baby. A baby. A skin puppy. Skin puppy. Here we are at the big tall building. Big and tall for us, Mount Etobans anyways. A little bit anxious about this one. This one's supposed to be pretty, pretty painful according to the doctor and a friend of mine, so who's had it done. Good thing you're a strong woman. Took painkillers beforehand. We got this. Good luck. Thank you. Love you. Love you. See you soon. There she goes. This is the one we've been waiting for lately. Not the big, big one yet, but it's one of the bigger ones. I'll just make my way over here to the husband's waiting area. All right, so now I'm just waiting. So she explained what it was. I figured it was more appropriate for her to explain it because it's not really me that's going through this right now. So for all my new subscribers that have been piling in the last couple of days, welcome. You thought you subscribed to a trucking channel. If you go down below to the description of my video, it describes everything that we're going through and what we're doing, like down below the video there and it'll show you all my social media links that you can keep up with us that. Yeah, the majority of what I do is truck driving. I just bought old blue and we're headed out tonight. So after this, I bring my wife home and then I go to the truck and I gotta load out to Alberta and I gotta be back for Friday or Saturday for that open house. I might not make it back for the Friday on the open house. So if you're planning on coming out just to see me or the truck, I'm probably only gonna be there on Saturday. Just a heads up so you know, but the open house will still be open from 12 to five on Friday. That's the 17th and on the 18th we're there from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. I believe. You guys wanna come check out Keystone and what we're all about. But for now, this is a big part of my life and a big part of my wife's life. What's going on? So of course we included in our vlog here. It's a lot more than just trucking. We also have a lot of family stuff going on too. But I'm excited also that after this I get ahead towards Alberta and get back in the truck. One thing at a time, one thing at a time. Let's get this done first. This procedure's supposed to be a little bit painful from like she said. So I wanted to make sure I was here that I could drive her home and make sure she was comfortable at home first. And then once she says she's good, then we'll head over to Old Blue. I can explain a little bit more than what my description does just for the new subscribers because we've had about a thousand new people join us in the last month. My wife and I, we've been trying to start a family since we got married in 2017. And we've been having some difficulties conceiving. And there's nothing wrong with the both of us from what we can understand other than minor issues. But we are going through the fertility process now to have our first trial. And that's what this is involving right now. We're going through the IVF process. So we have, like she said, two embryos that are frozen and waiting for the transfer or the implantation. But before we do that, we have to go through this so that they know exactly when to implant next month. So it's been a long time, a long journey to get to this point. And I appreciate you guys all hanging out here with us and seeing this side of my trucking life because it's a lot more than just on the road. I want to show you what a life, my life as a truck driver is both on the road and at home. You get an overall view then of what it's like doing what I do. So. That freaking sucked. Did it hurt? Yeah, sure it did. Still hurt? A little bit. I'm not great with pain. Okay. I'm just a little bit overwhelmed. So that sucked. I have felt worse pain before but I was a little bit overwhelmed with that one. That one, we had to go in twice. I had to count to 30 twice while he scraped the samples. Sucked my legs. I was just telling Josh my legs were vibrating like a little hummingbird's wings. Like I thought the speculum was gonna fall out. I was vibrating so much. But I'm just, I'm a wimp when it comes to pain. I know some people are a lot braver and more resilient to pain like him. I'm not. So I'm a bit of a sucky baby but I tell ya, this IVF has definitely proven that I'm a lot stronger than I ever gave myself credit for because the old Brittany woulda thrown in the towel by now. But yeah, so that sucked. Expect some bleeding throughout the day. I will get my biopsy results when I go in for implantation. The next step will be a week before implantation. I will be going for a lipid infusion. So they're gonna inject a certain type of fat into my veins that deactivates the cells in my uterus that would naturally fight things off. Like an embryo, foreign bodies, things like that. You know, like just things that keep your organs safe. They're gonna deactivate them with fat cells. Science is so fascinating. And then we go for the implant and then I take antibiotics so that, you know, no infection occurs or anything, but yeah. Almost there. Almost there. We're getting there. We are headed to a Cinnaboyne pharmacy right now to drop off my old sharps container back there and all my extra like pills, all my extra hormones, needles, things like that. But I'm keeping the alcohol swabs because we paid for those and those are hard to come by. COVID nearly abolished the world of alcohol swabs. So we got a gold mine sitting in our house. Frank, Chevy, diesel is a wiener there somewhere. Diesel, you worried about your mom? I think he's more worried about you packing up for a trip. No, he's coming with. Oh, is he? Uh-huh. Oh, okay. Oh, I'm not thinking of going this time. You're coming to Alberta. There's way too many cows out there for you to miss, man. That's right. Let's see the cows. You ready to go on a trip? That'll be in tomorrow's vlog. That's how you feel now that we're at home. Okay. Yeah? Yeah. Any big pain or anything? No, keeping up with my Advil. That's good. You fed me so now I'm okay. I had a burrito bowl. Yeah. Feeling good. So I don't know how many of you guys out there going through the IVF process. It's very, it's quite the ordeal for the ladies. It's lengthy, painful. But, what else is left? There's not much you can say. So what are your plans now that you're at home? Good plan. And you got to work first thing in the morning, right? Yeah. I'm just going to sit, drink lots of water, eat healthy, and watch cheesy British romances. Sounds great. Heavy, heavy. Other Frank. He's the other Frank. Other Frank? I can't tell you guys apart. Frank and other Frank. I'll just call you Wiener, Frank and Wiener. The two Franks. Look at you two cuddling, little cuddled buddies. I'm not shitting out. Take it or leave it, it's the best I got. I just left Canucketire, Canadian tire. You know what that means? I spent money again. I bought a power cooler for the truck because the truck doesn't have a fridge. Strange, right? I thought most trucks had fridges. My truck is awesome. However, it's awesomeness does not extend to the frigid cooling of food levels. So, we fixed that by going and buying a mobile cool cooler from Canadian tire, that's the brand name, mobile cool. Cause it's super cool and it's mobile. Let's see what happens. I don't know, we'll see what happens. I measured it out. It should fit underneath the bed. If it doesn't, I'm returning it. I have seven days, according to the receipt, seven days. So I have seven days to cram it under there. We'll figure it out. Before we go to the shop and try it out, I need to get some food. What do you think, Subway? Subway, I didn't spend a lot of money on food, but Subway, yeah, Subway. That's better than McDonald's, right? Progress, there's my cooler, can you see it? Show it off to you. Behold, cooling technologies. Green light, green light. All right, Subway, Subway, Subway, Subway, Subway. Don't run over grandma. Don't run over grandma. It's the part beside the little go-kart. Hungry, we're here with old blue and the new bumper came in. It's just a standard bumper. But this one here has a kink in it. See, it got bent out at one point and the seller, it was part of the sale that he would put a new bumper on here, get me a new bumper. And I told him that, hey, if you can just bring it to my shop, I'll put it on myself. I don't mind, I like to keep my hands busy and I kind of want the satisfaction of putting it on myself anyway. So he brought the bumper here yesterday. I'm gonna take this whole kinked bumper off of here and put the new one on. Using just regular wrenches, no power tools today. We're gonna make this fun. So I've got a three-quarter inch wrench here on the outside and I've got a 18 millimeter, or is it a 19? 19 millimeter on the inside. It's working, it's working. This is America and Canada coming together, making our metric systems work together or our measuring systems. I already got the two off on that side. I'm gonna leave these two center ones for last and I'm gonna be careful with the last one because the bumper's gonna wanna fall off. So I'll probably undo this one first, lean the bumper down, and then do that one last. And tools today, no power tools. If you don't need the power tools, why use the power tools? This is the way they used to do it back in the day. Okay, I got two more bolts. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. This bumper's coming on. We put the 19 millimeter back, three-quarter inch up here. Oh, that's tight, that one is very tight. Move on to this one. Don't waste too much time on things that don't work with you. Move on and we'll worry about that one later. I don't wanna break the bolts off either because here, get a better angle at this here, would ya? There you go. Come on. This would be so much easier with my impact. But no power tools, no power tools. Oh man. That's a reference to the wandering bearded idiot on YouTube, you should go check him out. He's a friend of mine. It's his signature. At least I've made it his signature. He always goes, I don't know what it was, well this one, but this one took a quarter, three-quarter inch on the outside, 18 millimeter on the inside. The rest of these all took a 19 millimeter on the inside. I don't know. Whatever. Whatever works, right? I don't care. I got one more bolt to go, this is the stubborn one. With a little bit of elbow grease and help from my neighbor, Matt, next door. Thank you very much, Matt. If you're watching this, I appreciate your help a lot. He came over here and helped me out. We got this bumper finally installed. It's just a factory replacement, but you can see the kink in this one. That came with the truck and the seller hand held up his end of the sale and replaced it, so I'm very happy. It needs to be polished, obviously, cleaned up. Well, it's brand new, it's got fingerprints all over it right now. This oversized dimension sign has a pre-cutout slot here for the license plate. You see this? And that goes right there. So I'm just drilling the holes for the license plate right now, so that it's in line with this OD sign so that when I put that on the truck, my license plate isn't covered up. The previous owner had done that and I thought that was a great idea. I was gonna carry that on. There we go, brand new bumper. What do you guys think? Well, don't give me your opinions yet. Give me your opinion once I clean it up. It's got my fingerprints all over it. And then clean up my mess, polish up the truck real quick. Gotta get those bugs off those stacks up there. It's driving me nuts and I'm not even looking at them. You're looking at them, though. That's why it's driving me nuts. Gotta get those cleaned off and then we can go home and shower up. It's me again, Future Josh, from the beginning. I'm back. It's me, I'm the same guy. So yeah, I got the new bumper on there. We got the IVF procedure done and I waxed up the bumper. It was all nice and polished. It's the cleanest it'll ever be. I have to work hard to keep that thing shining like that. I'll put a picture on here right now that I took of it after I was finished. I had it on Facebook already. If you haven't found me on Facebook, or Twitter, or Instagram, or TikTok, or any of those other things, down below in the description of all my videos, there's all the links. And the description also explains what I'm driving, what's under the hood, and everything. I have a lot of these questions that are being asked in my comment section and I'm not ignoring you. I'm just letting you know they're already answered in the description of every video. You can just go down there and all your questions are answered. And I'll see you guys tomorrow. Tomorrow future Josh is taking off in old blue. We're headed west. I hope you join us.
