I'm here on my reset and I had a a visitor come and visit me today Hang out for a little bit my cousin will and He was doing roofing last year, but he's recently got back into the trucking world because once you're a trucker You're always a trucker He got this beautiful beautiful Pete that he's driving. He just loves it He's all in the tanker this thing has lights all over the place lights under the bumper Under the cab on the steps under the sleeper. I wish I could show it at night And it's beautiful. I wish I could drive a truck like this So he's on his way down south right now He had this truck all nice and sparkly clean and then he had to go through North Dakota And I dirtied it up a little bit but Small little sleeper, but it's just him in there. There he goes continuing on his way That was a nice truck and now back to my big oversized minivan Chevy Chevy Chevy one benefit to driving a big minivan is I can have you with me He can have you with me. Did you see Will? Did you see what did he come and say hi to you? He did you were super shy You were super shy, man Good boy, did you miss me? How much how much how much did you miss me? I was only gone for like 45 minutes so you guys have met will and Sheila in our vlogs before and Their boys have been in the videos before as well. They have that beautiful country home near ours Sheila is actually my first cousin and will married her. So now they're both my cousins. He's a great guy He's actually the guy who remember he redid the roof on our little gazebo and he's he's been in the vlogs You guys know who he is. He drives that Beautiful Pete and I got to sit in there for a little bit. I should have taken you guys in there I guess but just to show you the space in his truck They're literally just the cab and a bed. That's it But it sure looks nice right and we're talking about the differences and things You got a sacrifice to have a nice truck. He's not allowed to have any pets in his truck at all No dogs ever So one benefit to driving I Call this a big minivan a Volvo Is that I can have the dogs with and the family we got a lot more room in here than he has in there He could never take the whole family in that truck Maybe one other person for a day trip But there's only room for one person to sleep in there and there's not even really any floor space So you can't even feed the dog because you can't put his food down anywhere. There he goes over there. You see him He's on his way down to Illinois as well I think around the Chicago area And then he picks up his freight and heads back up to Manitoba But from what we've seen my dad just sent me pictures from up on I-29 northbound because he's on his way back home as well And apparently I remember all that water I showed you there and the ditch isn't around there like the Red River was flooding apparently got a lot worse with The snowfall and the water is actually flooding over I-29 right now north of Grand Forks So I don't even know if we're gonna be able to get home that route We might have to go through Minnesota up like up 75 and then over through to Pemona and into Canada But well that was a treat for him to come and visit. I really enjoyed that It's nice always nice to meet up with people on the road and meet up with friends and now I'm going to sit here and Enjoy doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the day That's not that's a lie I've got videos to edit and I've got some farming to do I've really got into a farming simulator 2019 I know my wife constantly reminds me how lame it is. I know But I like the simulator games so might do some farming Either way we can't move from here until tomorrow anyway All right, chef Let's go for a walk Let's check this place out Sun went down a little quicker and I thought it would Which means it's much later than I thought it was got carried away Editing videos and stuff. Come on chef. Oh, this place isn't too full yet There's about eight o'clock in the evening right now I'll be fully reset in about 12 hours, but I won't be leaving here then I've got all day tomorrow to get two and a half hours down the road to Rochelle, Illinois And I just want to make sure I get there Before it fills up over there, so I got a parking spot over there, but that's a pretty big petrol truck stuff So I should I should be all right. I'll probably leave here Like two o'clock in the afternoon or something just so that I can get parked before Before all the drivers start pulling in for supper and pulling in to shut down for the night Don't go too far out there Chevy It's not too busy back here right now, but I like to keep them close to me in the parking lot Some of these drivers think that their NASCAR drivers coming through here So we're at exit 69 in Mawson, Wisconsin at the quick trip It's the quick trip along the I-94 with this Upright semi truck For a sign. It's really cool. I'm actually gonna go take a closer look at it. I think that is so cool It's an actual full-size semi truck Standing up there. I wonder if it's an actual truck. They just turned it into a sign or Will they put an actual truck up here? I always thought that it was just like a fake truck that just You know, they sort of put together to make it look like one, but that looks like it's an actual truck Yeah, it's got the brake pods on it and tires and everything that's an actual truck That's crazy What a unique awesome idea for a sign to the interstates right over there So when you're coming down the interstate I-94, Wisconsin get to exit 69 you see this on the side of the road That's where I'm at. Love the sounds of the highway Here comes another one. It's beautiful There's no sound quite like the sound of 18 wheels humming down the highway and a nice Jake brake Those two sounds That's what I live for Too bad. I don't got a big fancy Jake brake like that. Hey Chevy That'd be pretty cool. I have what they call a compression brake So I can use it in town and no one would even know it's super quiet does the same thing slows you down using engine compression it's just Super quiet. Well, chef. We've been wandering around this whole place here I think it's about time to go back to the truck or what? I'm gonna walk across the street and go to the gym again after that probably go and have a Nice late supper. Oh shoot the restaurant's probably gonna be closed by then already. Oh, we'll see I'll get Get something to eat from the truck stop and maybe just have a late supper in my truck after this Or after I'm done at the gym, I mean Chevy, why are you so energetic just running in all directions at once? You can only be in one place at one time man Such a puppy still he's gonna be two years old on july 25th same birthday as brit I'm just walking across the street to the gym right now. It doesn't look like there's anybody there There's one car. I don't know if he's there or in maybe he's just parked there sometimes they have a car Parked out front, but there's nobody in there All the snow melted pretty quickly yesterday when I walked over here This ditch was all filled with snow It's good And there's a mcdonald's right there just in case, you know Just in case it's always nice to have one of those nearby And this is america so there's always one nearby This is the big lot here so I could pull my truck right in here It's just no real point to it when I could just park across the street over there I'm gonna park in an actual truck stop I don't know if they want trucks in here or not, but there's plenty of room it's right on the end there that Right on the right of the building there that little It sort of looks like a Woodworking shed or something or a shed of sorts. That's the gym It's a bit of a different setup because most gyms have a lot of windows and a lot of natural light coming in during the day and This gym doesn't have one interesting Yeah, just the one car here, so Not too sure if I'll be the only one in here or no. I always like having the whole gym to myself I always got to leave your shoes by the door No other shoes here, so it might just be us here There is one other person here, so I won't be Filming too much while I'm doing my workout, but at least you guys got to see the inside this time These are the showers that they have anyways Time to get at it Oh feels good to be here You know for going to the gym twice yesterday I'm not even sore not even that sore like I can just definitely tell like my muscles are tight But nothing like the first time remember it hurt for three days Nothing like that anymore It feels good my body's more used to it now which also makes my job a lot easier as well I'm having trouble just carrying my bags Time to go back to the truck Got everything I need my watch phone keys I'm always paranoid of forgetting something at the gym Because you know me Always forgetting something and if I forget my key card inside the gym with something that's important I can't even get back into the gym to go get it So it's not to make double triple quadruple sure because I know me It's a good workout though Not quite as tired as I was yesterday, but yesterday we went twice so I was twice as tired. I slept really good though Oh slept like noon then again, I stayed up watching youtube and Messing around my computer games till like five in the morning I'm just a big kid I tell you something though this quick this quick trip across the street that I'm staying at What an awesome truck stop they got a denny's in there and their convenience store. I tell you They know how to convenience store right They have everything in there and every delicious sugar pastry sweets That you can imagine it is just my heaven when you walk in there. It is also a a dentist's nightmare But we just won't think about that because it's all so delicious I'm trying to control myself But I had two fritters yesterday. I had an apple fritter and for the first time I tried this new thing French toast fritter. It's like an apple fritter, but french toast flavor Oh so good I'm thinking of going in there getting a donut again before I go into the truck I think I deserve a donut after that work or if you go getting a donals. No, that's too much too much A donut will do Going for my donut. Okay. I got six. I'm bad I had no choice. They only came in packs of six so Had to get six Shucks. Hey, what am I gonna do with six donuts? Chevy I had to get six I had to don't give me that look man. Don't give me that I had to It was either six or nothing and we can't settle for nothing I'm sure we'll find something very creative to do with the other five donuts Well, someone's gonna have to eat them and you can't eat them. Chevy. You're allergic to everything I'm sure I'll think of a plan It's terrible, right Ah I go to the gym workout feel good about myself and then I go and ruin it with donuts Oh, well, I'm celebrating because uh today was payday Uh, and this was the first check I got since I've been on this whole campaign about trying to save as much fuel as I can You know not idling the trucks through the night and slowing down driving slower And wow, did it ever make a difference? So I'm celebrating tonight. That's my excuse for having some donuts It's amazing Amazing how much money I saved last month in just not burning as much fuel Now if we didn't have the carbon tax, you know, it might actually make a difference in my bank account But since we're being charged the carbon tax now all this money I just saved just goes right back to the government Anyway, so there's no real point Not making any more money still broke Right when you think you've worked so hard to get ahead and you you see yourself finally getting ahead The government notices they're like, oh I see you're getting ahead I guess that means I can tax you more No So really I'm not making any more money. I'm just working harder to make the same money A couple more months october's coming guys october's coming Hopefully we can put an end to this clown world we're living in here in canada To tell you what they make it really hard for you to get ahead They make it really hard for you to make a buck and keep it Like I said, you you you just finally start getting ahead start making good improvements and They just come in and take it all away Yeah, I'll just stop there. I won't go into that here. I don't want to end on a depressing note. We're having donuts So let's end on that note donuts I hope you get to have a donut today, too Unless if you can't be for health reasons. Well, then I understand I hope you get something else like a cake or something or Whatever it is. You really really like to eat That is kind of like a guilty pleasure. You deserve it. Go for it Not too much just today But have fun We're celebrating the fact that We got ahead and then It got taken away taking away donuts. That's right donuts. We're ending on a positive note donuts We'll see you tomorrow. Hope you have a great night Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already and make a new video every day. Take care
