 everybody. First day filming on the GoPro 10 that I bought yesterday. I've already had a camera just like this before so I know it's a good camera. What's neat about this GoPro is that there's a screen right on the front here so I can see myself talking to you so I know if I'm in frame or not. Whereas the GoPro Hero 8 that I usually use doesn't have that. I had a GoPro Hero 10 like this before like I was saying but it broke. So let's try to be very very careful with this one. My Hero 8 got stolen or lost. I'm gonna say stolen but might have been lost. Anyways. Morning Theo. Look at that. You got a fancy GoPro. You like that? Not quite as big as that big one with the fluffy mic eh? Show them your feet. Show them your those are very nice feet. Very nice. Wow where did these come from? Did you make those? Are those yours? Because that's where they were around here yesterday too. We're getting company in a little bit. First dad and stepmom are coming over. Theo's grandpa are in there. That means we've got a vacuum on the floor or we've got a vacuum on every day with our clothes but that's what people have in common. I don't know how she does it but in a way Brett keeps this house just immaculate all the time. Reminds me very much of my mom growing up. Very very clean people. Clean houses and no matter how hard I try it'll never be as clean as she gets it but I try. I try. Vacuuming is pretty straightforward. You just suck up all the hair and dirt on the floor. I mean that's pretty I think I can handle that. Pretty sure. And to be honest I do like things to be very clean. Like it bothers me when things aren't clean. So I do try my best but I'm just not one of my fortes. It's not one of my greatest achievements in life to keep things just immaculately clean. I like it to be clean but it's a lot of work. It is. So that's why when I see guys driving down the road with a clean truck that you can eat off the floor I'm impressed. Honestly genuinely impressed. That takes a lot of work and effort. My hats are off to you guys. Oh I'm almost done buddy. I'm almost done. The rest of the cells are shouting. Tell everybody. Hello everybody. I'm hungry. So hungry. What's that? Off to the next day I'm getting ready to leave. So we're gonna continue this as we get ready. Tomorrow's vlog will be us going to Canora. Brought the cooler home to test it. Works great. I'll show you. Got it plugged back in here in the shop. Drove from the house to here. It was two degrees when I left the house. It's now three degrees. So only lost one degree on the way here and I had it unplugged for a total of about 20 minutes from when I unplugged it. Put it in the truck. Got in the truck. Left got here. Plugged it back in. 20 to 30 minutes lost one degree. So that's pretty good. It holds the temperature well. That means that I can feel comfortable going from the shop to home with perishable foods in there and it'll keep it cool. I didn't know how well the insulation was if it had. Obviously it's built for that. So my review of this Bodega cooler is actually, you know, five stars. Five out of five. It's fantastic. It cools down fast. It's very quiet. It's running right now. You want here? Like listen to this thing. Very, very quiet. It has a plug where you can plug it into the wall that I'm using right now or a plug that you can plug it into the cigarette lighter in your vehicle and it also has a battery voltage meter. It'll tell you right on here. That's the battery level of your vehicle. Obviously I'm plugged into the wall right now. So it says full battery. But on here when I turn my truck off overnight, it'll show me what my truck batteries are at and I can set it for high, medium, low voltage protection. I have it set on high so that when it's in the truck and my battery level goes down just a little bit, it'll shut the cooler off or the fridge. It's actually a fridge. Shut the fridge and freezer off to protect the battery so I can still start the truck. But it shouldn't need to do that because this thing will be able to run all night. No problem on the battery. Because it keeps its temperature so well, I'm sure the compressor will barely even have to run it all. Depends how hot the night is, I guess. I really like it. I think it's a good purchase. I mean, if you guys are looking, where's the name brand? Check it out. Anyways, I would recommend it. They're not paying me to say that. So that's a genuine review. Pretty cool. So what I've decided to do is turn it into one big fridge but leave the divider in there for now. I can take it out if I want. So in here, you have the light at the front there. And I've turned both sides to stay at two degrees Celsius. It's probably with 35 Fahrenheit. So they're both cooling down to the fridge. If I want to, I can take this divider right out of here and take these baskets out of here too. And the whole thing can be one big freezer or one big cooler. I tested it out. It works great. It does. Both of them. And I got the freezer to go down to minus 18 Celsius. The lowest it's set for, you can set it to go down to minus 20. But I had it plugged in for a couple of hours at home and it went only down to about minus 18. I think I saw minus 19 at one point. I never saw actual minus 20 but you can set it to go down to there. I'm sure it can reach there if you leave it on long enough or if the weather outside isn't that hot. I mean, it would keep stuff frozen at minus 18, minus 19. So I cleaned out my entire truck before we got going, which took quite a bit. It's amazing how much junk you accumulate in there. In such a sort of, just like a year. So all kinds of stuff in there that, oh, I thought if I used it one day, never used it. So if I didn't use it in the last year, in the garbage it goes. I don't need it to weigh me down. I don't need to take it up space. There's almost stuff in the garbage. I'm still looking for my old GoPro 10 extra batteries and charging box. I know I have it somewhere. So I know I had it had a blue lid. It'll be in the shop here somewhere. Somewhere. I'm not buying new ones and I don't need new ones because I have them already. I just need to know where batteries for GoPro 10. They're bigger than the Hero 8. Bigger batteries so I had them in the truck for the longest time and then finally I'm like why am I keeping these in the truck? I'm not even using my GoPro 10. So I had a GoPro 10. It was a gift and I was very thankful for that and I, to be honest, accidentally it fell out of my hands while I was walking. It got unintentionally dropped and it broke and I felt so bad and I've never admitted that until right now I think but so I was using my GoPro Hero 8 until that got lost or stolen. Now I got another GoPro 10. I bought it and now I need to know where those batteries are. Where did you go? Why did you leave me? I'll find it yet. Okay it's time to put the cooler in there and see how it fits. I loaded it full of food first. That was probably a bad idea. I should put it in there first. That's not bad. That's not bad. There you got this. Okay so I need some lights on in here in the back. So it's working. I haven't had this truck running for a while but the truck's not running and it says that the battery is at 10.7 volts with this running. You can see that the battery power of the truck is not very strong right now. I've also had to turn the the auto off too low instead of high so it wouldn't run on high. So let's turn it back up to medium see if it'll run on medium. Oh yeah let's turn it up to high. See there's the L medium high enter. So now high protection. So the battery level might be too low and it might kick off the cooler to save the battery. See the inside temperature of the fridge right now is three and the freezer is four. They're supposed to both be down at two. So far it's still going. Okay when the truck is running that should be at about 13 volts. It's a 12 volt system so it's it's not too bad. Yeah it's running and I'm probably going to have it right here because here I can open it right get to my food. If I want to look I have water behind there right now. I don't know if you can see it or not. Cases of water. If I move those I could slide this whole thing underneath the bunk. Little update here. So I had it at high protection to protect the battery so that I can definitely start the truck again right. It did shut off because the voltage is too low. The truck's been sitting here for a little while. The batteries are probably going down a little bit. I like it that it shuts off so that I can definitely start my truck again. So now it says it shut off. It gave me an F1 air code. The battery levels are at 11.9 volts. 12 volts is normal. So my batteries are actually doing just fine but it did shut off to protect them. Now if it's going to do that every time I stop even though my batteries are just below 12 volts that's going to be annoying because I want this thing to run through the night. So the high protection might be a little bit too much protection for the batteries. I might need to go down to medium or maybe even low. I'll have to test this out. Sometime probably in the shop uh like here in the shop when uh I have the time over the weekend I'll leave it in here on low and just run it and see when it shuts off with nothing in it and then come back and see if I can still start the truck even if it was only on low battery protection. So I didn't like it on high so let's press settings. Move it down to medium. Let's try that. We'll clear that code. All right so I'd have to do some research to find out exactly how much power this thing draws but on medium protection it's running again. Remember without this cooler running it was saying that I had 11.9 volts on my batteries. They're pretty much fully charged then they're not and there's no problem with them but with this thing running right now and without my truck running it brings it down to 10.7 10.6 volts but remember this thing's also on eco mode and it won't run the whole time it'll just bring it down to the temperature that I asked it to and then it'll shut off until it needs to start up again. So it's not running constantly like my other cooler was. My other cooler was just one of those coolers with the fins right it's just constantly running and it doesn't actually refrigerate it just chills or cools. I'm pretty excited to see how this works this whole trip here. I'm just going to see if I can get the water out of the way. See I got my big Costco water underneath there. I'm trying to get that out of the way to see if this thing will fit under the bed but I think I'm going to leave it here anyways because it's just me in here and it's just easier accessible to be able to get in there like that right. Okay so that's that does it then proves it my measurements were correct. I've got my water all out of there you see it the cooler fits under there just perfect so if I wanted the extra space in the truck I know I can put it under the bunk no problem but since it's just me in here and probably like I said I'm going to leave it out here in the open I have my desk my desk what I call out here anyways where I have my computer on usually so it'll just be underneath that I can't stand there anyway it's just me so you know if I ever take diesel along again I don't know if I will I was really thinking of taking him along on this trip again I really wanted him to come along I miss having him in here but he's got a heart murmur now he's getting old he's got severe anxiety and he's just he doesn't do well in the truck anymore he doesn't eat when he's in the truck and he's just so happy at home with his brothers and his mom and Theo now I just it's just best that he's at home best for him not exactly best for me I mean I need him here it'd be nice to have him here he was sort of like my my support buddy right so I miss him a lot in here and I know what you guys do too he was a big part of the vlog for nine ten years now here's what it is he deserves his retirement now he's he did his job as a support animal an unregistered support animal for me for a long time and you know he deserves to be able to just relax now and enjoy his golden years enjoy the rest of his life hopefully he has several years left yet but now he's got a big yard to run around in brothers to play with he eats well at home he gets the gourmet meals all the time brit makes him all the special stuff all the time he gets all these treats he's spoiled it's better for him to be at home doesn't mean I don't miss him but if I were to ever have a dog in here I could my point was that I could put the cooler under the bed just to free up a little bit more space here well we're getting all blue red head off to kanora right away and that'll be tomorrow's vlog got quite a bit of stuff organized we've got the cooler fridge in the truck now filled with food that was the highlight obviously and got this new gopro i'm filming on now this is the first vlog on this new camera it's not the first time i've had a 10 but is the first time i've had this gopro 10 the gopro max will be the next upgrade but we're gonna wait until we have the house for that we spent enough money now i needed a cooler because my other cooler was making my food go bad and i'm actually gonna save money by having this cooler because i don't have to buy food at every meal which is what i'd have to do before it was very limited things all i could really do with that other cooler is just keep my drinks cool not even cold just cool so now i can actually have food in there and i don't have to buy food at truck stops every day to eat so i'll save money it'll pay for itself over time won't even take too long with the price of food now it is and then i think we're all set now for the next year so it might even be two years before we can buy a new house but we want to make sure we do this right we want to make sure that we have enough of a down payment that our monthly payments aren't going to be unmanageable we'll need to take into account future interest rates if they're going to keep going up or if they're going to freeze or if they're going to go back down they were unreasonably low for a long long time so i don't know where normal is i haven't been in the housing market for long enough i've owned my own house now for 10 13 13 years since 20 no when did i buy that house when i was 26 so about nine years i've been a homeowner nine 10 years so i don't have much of a basis to to base my interest rate history on right hopefully the truck runs well it's been running really well so far knock on wood uh that engine's been great it will need to rebuild i'm sure probably in the next few years i'm hoping to get another three years out of it yet before i'll need to think about rebuilding it the truck itself has three million kilometers on it that's about 1.8 million miles the engine has about what was it 800,000 kilometers around 500,000 miles since it's been completely rebuilt so it's getting there i'm hoping i can get three more years we'll see we'll see we average if i run full time the entire year for a full year you get about 200,000 kilometers in a year which would be one sec which is that miles i always look i'm gonna translate everything into american because i know a lot of you watching our american like 50 between 50 and 60 percent of my audience is based in america so i like to make sure you guys can understand the measurements and stuff that i'm talking about as well so that i'm not just speaking foreign to you uh so 200,000 kilometers is a good year that's that's a full year i probably don't hit that because i'm regional now but 200,000 kilometers would be 124,000 miles just over so uh let's say i get about between 100 and 124,000 miles a year between 150 and 200,000 kilometers so it'll be a little over uh put a million 1.2 it might be two years i'm three years we'd be getting close to uh close to 1.5 or 8,910 hmm 1.3 million kilometers or so since the rebuild so it'll be time if i if it lasts three years it'll be time to get it rebuilt again we'll see it all depends on the truck every truck's different everybody treats their trucks differently everybody runs it differently if you're hard on it it's not gonna last as long i try to be as nice to her as possible give her all the five star treatments and everything and never open her up too long all the way sometimes you just gotta give her i get it but you don't want to just give her every single stop light you know i'm doing my best maybe there's some things i could be doing better i'm doing my best so let's let's hope that it lasts another three years okay anyways i'm gonna end this vlog here we're gonna start tomorrow's vlog right here in the spot we're going to canora i hope you join us subscribe so you don't miss it there's gonna be a lot of trucking content coming in the channel in the next for the rest of the month i've had a lot of time off now at home it's time to get some miles it's time to get some miles and get out there and get these wheels turning and get these vlogs going okay please do me a favor hit that like button if you did like it help stay up with the algorithms leave me a comment down below and let me know what you're thinking get to know each other a little bit more you know me i don't know you tell me something about yourself i'll
