 Hello everyone, this is Claude from Quebec, Canada, and you are watching Parker Josh and Diesel on DJV. Don't forget to subscribe. Good morning all you beautiful people. Great choice by clicking on this video. The next best thing you can do is click the subscribe button below it because there's a new video pretty much every day. We're starting off here in Elk Point, I think it's called Elk Point, Alberta, in Canada. If the snow didn't give that away, well, now you know. The weather that America shared with us so generously last week with those strong winds coming out of the south. The wind has died down now, now we're just enjoying that nice little warm, warm spell from it. They're such good neighbors, always sharing. So in return, we're going to obviously return the favor and now that the winds calm down, it's probably going to start coming out of the north and we're probably going to share some of our weather with them. You know, free trade. You give us some of your warm weather, we'll give you some of our cold weather. I think that's a good deal, but I'm quite making home tonight yet. If I really booked it and this truck could do the speed limit out here in the west, I could make it. Barely, but we'd be home at like 2 in the morning. And that's just barely stopping for breaks and a fuel once. So we're not going to do that. We're going to get as far as we can today, we're going to take it easy, try to save some fuel. And we're going to get home Thursday. You may be watching this on a different day. But I'm home for the weekend because on Monday this truck needs to go in for a safety. It's an annual safety that's mandated by the government. They want to make sure my truck's wheels are not going to fall off. It makes sense, I'm not complaining. So I've got to bring that into the shop on Monday. I believe it's about a $500 charge just for the safety. They do a very in-depth, very thorough safety on this truck. We can rest assured that this thing is going to be tip-top. I also need to get this window replaced because I've developed a little crack off-camera there. It's not in my line of sight or anything, it's off to the side there. But that's going to need to be replaced to pass the safety. So there's that. So that's about a $400-some window. So we're looking at close to $1,000 just to get the truck in there. And if they find anything else that needs to be fixed, that's on top of it. I'm hoping, hoping, hoping it's going to be less than $3,000, but you just never know. So in the meantime, I'm going to save as much fuel and money as I can on the way home. I'm not going to floor it everywhere I go. I'm hurry to get home, but my wallet is also not in much of a hurry. My wallet says I think we need to take it easy, truck or truck. I think we need to take it easy. It's hurting down here. Highway 16 headed east up in Saskatoon on our way. And I'm kind of hoping to make it to brand pictures of the roads yesterday in Manitoba, in western Manitoba or southwest. And looked like they were getting a little bit of a snowstorm yesterday. Usually the weather comes from here out west and moves east. So if I'm in good weather now, that means that it should follow me home. I'm facing towards Saskatoon here. Looks like I might be catching up with a bit of that snowstorm. And we're still in like western Saskatchewan. If we catch up to this in the middle of Saskatchewan, Manitoba is still definitely going to be getting snow. When I pull over next, I'm going to have to check the forecast to see what's going on there. I'm hoping I don't got to drive through a storm tonight. That would really, really not be pleasant. That would not be what I was hoping for. Like every time I go home, I'm hoping that the climate is already going to be tropical. And there will be palm trees growing in my front yard. And that still hasn't happened yet. People have been promising me that since before I was born. Still hasn't happened. So I never really get what I want. So if I get a snowstorm, I guess I get a snowstorm. By the time I get home, I'm going to be home this weekend. And I got a bunch of things I want to get done. So hopefully lots of decent weather for that. I want to scrape the snow off our roof. We put on a new roof last year, remember? Because the old roof was a little leaky. So this is our test this winter. And this spring will be the test to see if this roof holds. And I'm sure it will. But I still want to scrape the snow off the roof. Just because of all that extra weight that's on top of there. Garbage man job. We don't get garbage service out where we live. So I got to take the garbage away myself. So that's going to be a couple of trips in the pickup. I could take the trailer, but then they charge me about weight. And it's way more expensive. It's cheaper for me just to do two or three trips with the pickup. Lots to do, always lots to do. And somewhere in there I want to sit down on the coach and stare at the TV. That big black frame hanging on the wall. I just want to stare at it for a few hours. It's going to be great. We're pulling into the scale house. Just before Saskatchewan. They are not open. That's why we're pulling in now. Quickly get past the scale so that I can let diesel out to walk. You can leave the... 300 meters. Slide right on. Trans Canada Highway. Highway 16. Rude. I was going to say you can leave the good DOT. Officer's a nice little steamy present. Yeah. Now we'll pick it up. We'll pick it up. We'll be nice. Wouldn't want to give them an excuse to pull me in next time. Ever see that on the cameras? Just be my luck. They'd be checking the security footage. Hey, that driver out there didn't pick up that steamy dirt. Put them down on the list. Pull them in next time he comes through here. I don't know why they're American all of a sudden. Okay diesel. What do you say bud? What do you say? It's pretty bright out there, mate. You do it. Let me see you. I'm excited for you. Intersection on the green light yet. Left up here into the pilot flying J. Grab some fuel. We've used a little over, oh we'll use almost two thirds of a tank of my fuel. Pulling this heavy load from Fort McMurray all the way down here. In three kilometers, turn right on. When us get in road. This guy's signals are shorting out. They're all going on. See that? Only the left ones are supposed to be flashing. Grab some coffee. And we're going to continue down the road as far as we can go today until we get tired. Like I was saying earlier, I'd really, really like to get to Brandon, Manitoba. That would leave me only like two and a half to three hours to do tomorrow. 100 meters. Make a U-turn if possible and then turn right into 150 meters. What if I get tired before then? I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I can get home tomorrow from here already. So wherever I make it to now is just fine. Going home tomorrow. Been on the road for a little while. It's been a longer trip than the average one recently. It's okay. Christmas is over. The new year has begun. This is the time of year we run hard. Massive tractor. Nice. It's going to get dark real soon too. At least the days are starting to get longer again though. Can't wait for summertime when I can go home and sit out in the sun on the porch. Have a coffee. All of my favorite things about this past summer. Sitting on the porch with my wife. First thing in the morning. Having our coffee. Can't do that in the winter time. Well, we could. It's just not as enjoyable. Coffee is just as enjoyable. Don't get me wrong. But having to wear like ten layers sort of kills the moment. It's nice to just walk out there. You can go out there in your underwear if you want to. I mean, I'd put clothes on when I go outside. That's my thing. What do you think? Are you looking at me like that? Yeah, I took it there. I made it weird. I made it weird. Boogie night out. Boogie roundabout. It's a timeless thing, yes. I'll give you one guess where we are. Useless roundabouts like this in Saskatchewan. Useless, useless thing. So there's a flying J off down there to the left. You can hardly see it from here. You couldn't see it from the other roundabout. In 100 meters, turn right on highway 364. That's the spooky fog. It's been foggy for hours already. It's just not letting up. Camera seems to cut through it a little better than my eyeballs, dude. Coffee of the day. Usually I just had two. Continue on this road for 22 kilometers. Why would I do that? Are you lost, Karen? Are you scared of the fog? Continue on this road for six kilometers. This guy did not know if I was turning or not, because I hadn't turned my signal on yet. He's cutting in front of me anyways, assuming that I was turning. Well, he assumed right. All right. Our headlights off so we don't blind everybody. We're in the parking lot. There's fuel here. $30.9. $31 per liter. That's not too bad. We're not going to fuel here. Though I've got lots of fuel from Saskatoon still. We're going to fuel in Winnipeg. We're heading tomorrow before we go home. This guy's got huge pipes. I think this guy on the left. Pipes for days. This is going to be like 8-inch pipes. Maybe 10. I don't approve something, but or what? I'm making me jealous here. I want those. This guy's sticking way out. Way out here. Truck's all full of frost. That's probably what my truck looks like. Driving through this fog, it just covers the front of your truck in this thick coating of ice. It turns to ice, eh? Look at this guy blocking the pump. Oh no, he's going in there now. He's not blocking the pump. Hold your anger, Truckador. Don't get mad right away. I just assume the worst of people, and that's not a good thing. Oh, he's not blocking the pump. Slippery little slip right through here. Thread in the needle slowly. Slowly. Making sure we don't hit anybody walking around. Everybody wears their reflective vest in the truck stop parking lot for some reason. But hey, they want to die. That's there. That's up to them, I guess. All right, we're in Grenfell. Grenfell? Grenfell, what is it called? It's a sketch one. We're not going to quite make it to Brandon, but... We don't know how to get into this lot. I think they're closed. I don't know, this store's still open. I'm tired. It's time to go to bed. Hopefully they'll have some parking. 200 meters. Turn right on. Garnet straight and then. Turn right into 190 meters. It's not a very big parking lot, but it's not a very popular truck stop anyway, you know? So, let's see. We've got some spots over here. Oh, this is a spot. I think that's a spot. I'm going to make it a spot. Back in right here along this fence. There we go. Weizel. Weizel. It's been a good day, man. It's been a good day. So, we're going to make this real short because I'm going straight to bed. I want to get out of here as fast as I can tomorrow. Take care, everybody. Subscribe.
