 Hello people another new day is here. We're at home and Britt the Builder is Busy doing her thing Man, she looks happy today Ikea furniture makes me super happy I'm happy. I'm just not happy with what I'm doing So if you haven't watched her vlog yet on her channel and you haven't watched yesterday's vlog here on my channel we got a gift certificate from for IKEA at Christmastime from our parents and This is what we got with it. We got a desk. That's gonna match that. It's a computer desk So we can do our editing there. We can throw out the broken one in the office Yeah, and get rid of the old one very bro. And we're gonna have it out here So we'll sort of fill in these two walls here And then in springtime, we're putting the door in here, right? It's gonna be a Double door that's going out to the back this whole section here beside our kitchen is our pantry and Right now just an extra storage room. So nothing much to see other than Typical pantry stuff and our storage room, which is actually a pretty neat right now I don't know what happened. I went on this trip. I came back and this was all cleaned up. I have no idea what happened in here Hmm so Britt got that all organized for us there But what we're going to do is we're gonna knock this whole section from there to there out So it'll be open Like this side over here. So living room and that this will all be one open space Except for we're building a new pantry. It's gonna be right against this right against the wall over here, right? So somewhere like here to here We're gonna have like a walk-in pantry and then the rest of this will all be wide open And then our dining room will be in this area here where this room is And this will be an open area there our computer editing desk will be over there Exit to outside. We're building a nice big about a 12-foot Deck along the back of the house in the back This wood stove will be twisted and moved a little further that way. So it's just facing Straight out and we're gonna build a barrier protection in the back there And that'll be over there It's hard to explain it all well because we don't exactly know what we want yet, but We're working on it and that's what's going on there. What happened It's Ikea it's supposed to make you angry Anyway, that's what we're doing right now I'll show you this old desk in the office back here that that one's going to replace We're also renovating this room back here, too. This is the dog's room here right now Got room to play and right now. This is our editing office We want this to be out in the open. So that old computer desk is being thrown out It's old is falling apart. It's it needs to go though. I still kind of like it Maybe I'll put it in the in the man cave I don't know But this whole area is gonna be cleared out and this is actually going to be part of the bathroom Because we have a bathroom in here Okay, but the wall is right there. We're knocking out this wall partly and then it's going to extend Both from maybe this rug here To there so this part of the room is all going to be bathrooms gonna be a big walk-in shower there a sink Toilet and a lot of a lot of space and then the wall will be here There will be a big closet Against it against that wall there and all of this space in here is all going to be bedroom For the master bedroom So we got big plans lots of plans I'm not gonna be able to get any of them done anytime soon, but we're slowly getting there one step at a time So we got our living room set up now Getting it this area set up And then summertime I'll roll around we'll want to be spending all our time outside Right now we have our bedroom in here. I think it's safe to show you it right now It's a little bit messy, but This is where what we're using for our master bedroom right now. Yes, we use two separate blankets because I Got tired of the blankets being ripped away from me every night So eventually I just said no enough of that. I'm having my own blanket Two separate blankets Yep And then we just mounted that TV at their last time I was home We want to move this whole master master situation And there And this is our guest room Our friends stay when they come over This is going to turn into the baby nursery Once we get around to that part of our life, which is hopefully soon and then this will be the guest room But that bed is going in the master bedroom Diesel what do you think of our plans tell the good people? Speak into the mic diesel thinks that the guest room is his room Say something to the good people here speak into the mic Say something Diesel you okay? They pause him He's an old man old man weasel time for too much fun Just a little bit of time for a little bit of fun I got to pick up a trailer a load of glass that came from Minnesota But somebody else brought it up to the yard for me And they left the tarps on it and everything so all I got to do is hook on to it and go Just check to make sure that they tied it down properly and that's good enough for me That's pretty cool That doesn't happen all the time that load has taken us to Surrey British Columbia through a greater Vancouver area right by the coast Usually you would take us two full days to get there, but I'm leaving today. I'm filling this part on Sunday And I got to be there for Wednesday morning So I have all day tomorrow all day Tuesday, but there's a snowstorm coming in from Alberta that I've got a drive-thru It's in Western Manitoba right now and Saskatchewan So I'm hoping to get up to Moosamen Saskatchewan tonight somewhere around there We're gonna hit the snowstorm But we're gonna hit it later tonight, and then I'm hoping the worst of it will pass over us overnight And then by 8 a.m. Tomorrow in Moosamen it's supposed to stop snowing But here further east around where we live in Manitoba it's still supposed to be snowing all day tomorrow So we trying to time it so that I can be stopped part and sleeping as the brunt of the snowstorm Passes over me, and then I continue tomorrow with clear skies. That makes sense Trip planning isn't just about timing it. It's also about paying attention to the weather and avoiding any unnecessary bad weather You don't have to drive through the snowstorm if you time it correctly. Oh, I just had to leave a like a day early What three o'clock right now? Sunday if there was no storms whatsoever, I could have left tomorrow morning like now 7 a.m So I lose an evening and afternoon at home, but I Know that It'll be a lot easier To do it this way And a lot safer Well, it's just me and you this trip diesel Chevy stayed at home just like old times, man So here's my load today Somebody else tarped it So that's nice. I didn't have to do that in the cold weather Not a very big load this time. So that's good So I'm just waiting for my e-log right now I already did my pre-trip and everything but the thing is I forgot to start my e-log when I did that so Now I got to wait for my e-log to click over for 15 minutes Another driver. So I have to show 15 minutes for my pre-trip, right? I already spent the time but Forgot to start that thing Now they don't believe me if I tell them I did it, but I just Didn't log it. Oh well The snow was starting Come down a little bit here a little bit worried about the snow. We're gonna hit tonight, but Like I was saying before I'd rather go through a little bit tonight and avoid the big part of it Overnight as I sleep then have to go through the whole big thing tomorrow morning because it's gonna be snowing here tomorrow morning for sure trucking Just turning on to the south perimeter highway here westbound You'll see a lot of ice pieces on my windshield yet. Those will disappear over time What I've done is I've completely cooled down my windshield I've put the heat to the floor inside the truck and opened the windows a crack to suck the hot air out So I'm here in my jacket in my tube. So it's freezing in here right now But that was deliberate to get the windshield cold Now I can roll up the windows a little bit further almost all the way up Leave the heat on the floor set the cab stays warm and then all of the snow falling from the sky Instead of sticking and melting to the windshield It'll just bounce off the windshield 100 So that's a little trick for you keep your windshield cold and the snow will just bounce off But if you put the defrost on and you heat up the windshield It's all gonna it's all gonna melt as soon as it touches the windshield and then your wipers are gonna get all full of ice and you won't be able to see where you're going But the thing is I have the floor heat on right now But you still got to leave your windows open a crack to suck out a little bit of hot air So it stays a little cooler in your cab, but you can see where you're going West of Winnipeg Grab a coffee and a little bit of food. We're gonna keep on going keep on the trucking We want to get to Moosman yet. Let's get at it. Moosman's not gonna come to us We got to go to it Many people here right now and everybody's of course parked as close to the building as they can Can you blame them? Cross parking lot you notice very quickly when you don't put on long At least all these bob tails off to the right They're parking in the proper designated Bob tail parking spots I like it when they do that and don't take up full 75 foot spots that are meant for a full unit One of my biggest pet peeves you pull into a truck stop late at night There's very few spots and like five to ten of them are taken up by Bob tails. Just the truck. No trailer. Oh The grinds my gears That's something that almost as bad as using your high beams on the highway So the temperature is not supposed to be too bad tonight supposed to go down to about minus 26 Which is still bad But seeing as last week we were down at minus 40 plus the windshield I won't complain too much about minus 26 At least I don't feel like I could you know die at any second Speaking of look at this guy using his high beams right here. Let's just get to BC. It'll be warmer in BC I hope my dad is in British Columbia right now delivering in Coquitlam And a coquitlam sort of in the same general area as the Greater Vancouver area Surrey and Langley and everything And he says it's snowing like crazy there right now and it's pretty cold Last week when we were there It was plus 12 Sun shining green grass. I hope that weather system leaves, but then we get there on Tuesday night I think I'm gonna go park right at the customer if I can I'll call ahead let him know I'm coming and see if there's parking maybe on their yard there or something nearby Pretty little parking out there. It's the lights of Musim and Saskatchewan. We made it and it hasn't even been that snowy It got a little bit hairy around Brandon told me it wasn't too bad. It wasn't too bad. I've seen much much worse And we made it here no problem Time is now about nine o'clock and I'm pulling in for the night here So we got here before the worst of it hit so hopefully it'll pass over us and by morning time It'll all be clear again And hopefully we won't be snowed in try to park in a spot where I think I won't Need a tug out in the morning This is that co-op truck stop with the Tim Hortons. I used to stop here all the time But now you know I go into co-op to get coffee. I don't drink Tim Hortons coffee that much anymore Explain that before that. I just I don't think it's that good. I think it's too weak. I Don't know what they're thinking, but you know in order for to just taste like coffee I've always got to add an espresso shot or two in there. Maybe I'm just building up a tolerance. I I've heard a lot of people say that Tim Hortons coffee is weak What can you do, what can you do? There's a lot of trucks here already. I hope there'll be a spot for me If not, we might just make a spot. What am I talking about? Of course there's room Lots of room. I don't even got a park off to the right here. I was thinking about it, but I'm gonna go park with those guys over there I'm gonna park the wrong way to Watch me Everyone's parking this way You're gonna laugh because I'm different. I'm laughing because you're all the same. You're all facing this way I'm gonna face that way Wonderful. No, I get a quiet night Quiet peaceful night Beautiful Tired I'm tired You know, I always sleep the best in the truck here whenever I'm at home. I don't sleep is good. I don't know why Just cuz I'm just used to the truck Diesel, how you doing in there? It's just me and you man Save old times So Chevy stayed at home with Britt and Frank like I've been telling you Frank is doing so good and recovering so well And actually next weekend is the weekend when we're doing our big donation with After that fundraiser we we got Frank the help he needed got a surgery done and We've figured out all that he needs for rehabilitation and we're gonna be doing a huge donation to a local shelter In Winnipeg next Saturday and I'm really looking forward to that Brits done all the leg work on that and taking care of everything They were we talked to them and they're very excited to work with us and to You know Receive the generous donation we're gonna be getting them like a pickup truck bed full of dog food and Brits vehicles all filled up with you know dog toys and Plate pens or dog pens dog candles and stuff everything that they need for their foster homes for those dogs And we'll be talking about that more obviously next weekend when it all goes down really looking forward to sharing all that with you But I'm getting ready for bed now I Really like elogues for this reason all I got to do is like boom boom boom boom I used to have to sit here for like 10 minutes 15 minutes after my day was done do all my logs and everything separate the papers all those That was the olden days New days have arrived and we're on elogues and for me I like them a lot of guys were very grumpy about having to go Into elogues. I really don't understand why because if you're not breaking the law and if you're following the law Elogues should make absolutely no difference unless if you're cheating well, then yes Elogues are definitely gonna make a difference for you, but I noticed no difference I went from paper logs on to elogues no difference because I was following the law before That's a whole discussion for another time though.
