 So according to our local news source here in Steinbeck, this construction is supposed to be done and complete mid-September. That is the information I got. You can do with it what you like, whether you trust it or not. But mid-September and for the most part I believe them, though I wouldn't be surprised if it got stretched into October. But like I was telling you in past videos, Steinbeck is pretty good with getting their construction done before winter so that we don't have lane blockages and stuff like this in winter time. Because that's just a pain in the butt with all the snow clearing and drivers who have no idea what they're doing. We'll see. We're on our way to work again today. I'm gonna go do some trucking. And I want to do a little bit more measurements on that little platform I want to build for diesel so he can come with me sometimes. When I have a day trip somewhere, if I want to Canora or Brandon or something or down in the States, if I have a little bit of a day trip, I want to be able to take him with me sometimes. I think it'd be a lot of fun for old-time's sake. You know what I have diesel with us? Probably can't do it every day, but maybe it'll work some days. So I want to build a little platform. I've been explaining this in my past videos just so that there's a bed in there where he can lay down a little spot for me to put his water for him. We'll see if it works out. I'm still thinking about him, so I'm trying to figure out how it would work. But trying to figure out a way. It's his birthday today. It's diesel's 10th birthday today. Happy birthday to the weasel. 10 years old. That's like 70 in dog years, right? He's no man. I thought it'd be kind of cool for his birthday to take him in the truck, but I'm just not ready to have him. He can't just come in the truck and just sit on the seat all day. That's not fair to him. He has nowhere to lay down. He's got to have at least a bed where he can lay down. So we'll work on that for the future. And for today, we'll just maybe get him a special toy or something on the way home for his birthday. Gotta get him something for his birthday. It's 10 years old. Two whole hands. Human hands. For those of you who are new here, welcome. You're all welcome here. Don't forget to subscribe. We make videos Monday to Friday and most weekend and some weekends. Every single day, we used to travel across North America, me and my dog Diesel, and I got him when he was 10 weeks old and he just turned 10 years old. And he's been with me on the road for nine years of those 10 years. So I've just gotten into the city work right now. If you go down to my description underneath this video and every other video sort of explains the situation I'm in right now. And for now, I'm staying closer to home. We're trying to start a family. Who knows in the future, might get back out there on the road. Never know. But Diesel has been my companion and a major part of this vlog for the 10 years that I've been making these videos. I've also been making these videos for 10 years. So you guys have been here for Diesel's entire life. And if you missed the first half or something or if you're just new now, you can actually go back and hang out with us for Diesel's whole life. I think that's pretty cool. I got his whole life day by day on the vlog. And he's doing really well. He has a little bit of a heart murmur right now, but we're working on that. We've got some fixes on the way. And other than that, he's doing healthy. The vet's very impressed with how he's doing. Pretty nice sunrise over there. The sun is just about to peek up over those trees. I'm sure it'll be shining on us by the time we get this thing warmed up and ready. Appalachia. Or Appalachia. I'll be saying, what's correct? Is it Appalachia or is it Appalachia? I would say Appalachia. I've been all over. I've been through the Canadian Shield and it makes sense to me. I don't know. It's so much easier to build and develop than God for us today. I was here yesterday and yesterday they told me it was kind of a smaller load. So it probably won't be the whole trailer, but we'll see. All right. So I got to open up the trailer and get ready to be loaded. I don't know if they're ready for me yet or not, but this load I'm picking up today is going to Burleson, not Burleston, Burleson, Texas. Sounds like fun. Let everybody know I'm loading cargo. I'm on duty, not driving. All right. So first things first. I have to loosen these things at the back, which I've already done. That relieves the tension on the tarps, the rolling tarps, so that I can unlatch the front and we pull it back as you've seen before. And I've just got a very small load to load in here today, apparently. This is what we use as lubricant. It's at 45. It actually works really good, not an add or anything, just what we happen to use. So what I do is I go in here and see all these wheels. First I guess I should shake it. There's not much left in this can. I have another one. You just get right in there, loosen that in there. The wheel's turning. You figure out which ones are seized and you get special attention to them. See, these ones are a little different. They're really close in there. You see that? Really close in there. So I've got to go in from the top by this spray nozzle. This red thing is very important. It's on the top. Just going to need that new cam. Oops, this is hard doing it with one hand. Do that on two wheels on each one. Do that on every single wheel all the way around on both sides. I do this on every roll tight. Pretty much every time I have one. And by the time they get back from wherever they're going, like this one's going to go to Texas, by the time it gets back, it needs to be greased again. This is the stuff that I'm given to work with these. They're going to bring a can of bull snot, greaseable to work tomorrow and from now on to work with these. It'll probably work a lot better. Give it a shot, but like these wheels in here are seized. They need a little bit of greasing. They need consistent greasing, otherwise they seize up like this right away, like that for one rainstorm. All right, that's it. Going to Texas. So they're all greased up now. Let's see how much easier it rolls when we close it now. So much easier, right? Just a little bit of grease and you just wait till I get bull snot on this. It'll work way better and it'll last way longer. I'm going to do that next time. I'll show you guys. It's amazing how quickly those little wheels seize up. Because I remember this trailer. This trailer is 602 TLR. I greased these wheels on this truck like a month ago, maybe less, maybe like three weeks ago. And there was a few that are completely seized that I had to unjam. Now they're all rolling nice again. These are how hard it was to open at the beginning and how easy it was to roll it closed. That's why we greased them. What am I doing going so slow, man? Scared of the corner? I'm going to go past you. I'm always surprised when I pass people, because I'm limited at 100 kilometers an hour. I can't go any faster. Most of these guys are at least limited at 105. Some of them aren't governed at all. I shouldn't be passing you, man. It's not a bad thing. It's not like it's illegal to go slower. Ah, now I'm going to end up in the left lane at the red light. Yeah, he's not going to let me in there now. Looks like we just beat the train too. Train arms are, train arms are going to be coming down behind us there. Yeah, there they go. Trains right over there. That was a close one. So bad about being in the left lane. Nobody behind me that I'm slowing down. And I'm going to beat this guy. I got more power than you, buddy. We got a Mercedes engine in there, famously known for being gutless. Not my Peter. Anyways, yeah, so we usually use that 45 loop grease to grease all the wheels, but I have a case that was sent to me of that bullsnot greaseable. It's like heavy-duty grease. And it's in a spray can, just like the one I had. I just don't have any in the truck with me. I have a case at home. I'm going to bring one of those cans to work with me. And the next roll-tight trailer that I have with seized wheels, which should be the next one I hook onto, we're going to, we're going to try out that bullsnot and see how much better it works. Because I guarantee you, that's going to last way longer than this. Because this lasts like a month, you go through a rainstorm, all the lube washes out of there, it rusts together and it seizes, right? I'll be able to show you how much better that is. I am part of the bullsnot posse, so I recommend the best. It's a little bit slow at the moment here right now, so I'm just in the yard. I think I'm going to build something. I see all this scrap wood over here. Remember me telling you I wanted to build a little, a little bed or something in the passenger area of my pickup, not of my pickup of the semi, what am I talking about? I'll show you once I, see I'd like to have the option of taking diesel with me some days when I know I'm just going to be on the highway most of the day and, but I want them to be somewhat comfortable. I mean, if we go in here now and I'll show you, I have the steps where he can climb in here easier. It's his 10th birthday today, I told you, right? I was thinking of building this for him for his birthday. He loves coming, coming with me on the truck so much. Every time I talk about the truck, he gets excited, but I can't have him in here. First of all, I got all my stuff in here, right? Just ignore that. I got my lunch kit and stuff, but he can't just sit on the seat here all day, right? I'd be uncomfortable all day. I'm thinking of building a little platform here so that he could lay down and maybe a little platform between the seats too, so that he'd have this whole area here for some days when, when he wants to come with me, when I want to bring him. Since we're just between loads here right now, I want to keep busy. I found the tools. I found a little saw and the nail gun. I found some scrap wood. I'm going to build something. All right, so I'm going to measure it out. Looks like we got some, I don't know, this is a particle board. That won't work. I could maybe use that for on top of it, but that can't get wet. I could use these planks here on top of this, take those off, measure it out, use this wood right here as a, oh, even this. This right here would work. Just put it down sort of like, you know, hardwood flooring. I'll see what I can figure out here and I'll get back to you in a second. I'm going to build something. This is where I keep my measuring tape because everyone keeps their measuring tape in their ashtray, right? All right, let's go measure this out. Let's get my bag out of the way for now. You should probably put this right there. Okay, so this whole area in the floor here, I want to build a little platform in here that I can easily take out and easily put back in. We got to do this quick because the phone might ring any second and we'll have to go pick something up, but we want to be, we have to watch this thing over here because it's got to be able to get out past that. I don't want to build it in a way that it gets stuck in here on that side of that because you need to be able to get it out just to work on it and, you know, if I'm not in this truck forever, I need to be able to get it out of here so the next guy doesn't have this in here. It's probably about one foot, I'm thinking. It'll be a little bit of a gap at the end there, so that's okay. And then over here, oh my, oh my, it's not here yet, vacuum it up in here. Put it across here so that there's like a, you know, full platform there where he can, where he can lay down and sort of enjoy himself and enjoy his, enjoy his day a little more leisurely than just being stuck on a seat all day, right? And then I have to create a spot where I can have a little water bowl for him. I think we can make this work. So I'm going to head home, nothing more to do today. I quickly threw together a weasel bed. Behold! A weasel bed, see? See, I made it a little lower than the seat here. So if you can put a pillow on here, pillow on here yet, or just a pillow here, and then his water bowl there, maybe. So I might just throw it together in a few minutes. Actually took a little bit of thinking because I had to cut out that notch there for this so that it, uh, this can close. But yeah, and it'll do, right? I'll see what happens. And I can easily just be pulled right out of there. I'm just going to put some protection in there yet tomorrow, just to make sure that doesn't rub on that in the dash. Don't need to add any more nicks in here. Yeah. So if I have a day now where, uh, I'm headed out on a little bit of a longer trip or something, I can take diesel with me and I, I don't think we can at least lay down. So that is diesel's birthday gift for this year. The ability to come with on some trips before he had no ability to come within this truck. I mean, like I said, I don't want to just sitting on that chair all day, but now at least he has a place to lay down, stretch out. Happy birthday Weasel. Cannot wait for this construction to be done. And if you look at it, it looks like they're pretty much done. Like all of their equipment is gone from this area here already. They just sort of got to do the finishing touches, you know, fill it in and fix up the lawns and the curbs. They should be done next month. It's good. It'll be nice to have this road back. All right, we're in and we're ready. But this time it's diesel's birthday today, remember? So instead of giving them or letting no, instead of them giving me a rock star welcome, I'm going to give them a rock star welcome. Got to be careful not to step on the little guys. Woo! We're home! Diesel! It's your birthday! It's your birthday! It's your birthday, man! It's your birthday! Shovey! Shovey! It's diesel's birthday! Diesel's birthday! Woo! It's your birthday! It's your birthday!
