 Good morning everybody. We're just leaving Summit, South Dakota on our way to Calgary, but we're sopping by the house on the way, so we'll be at the house tonight. Freeway I-29 North here. The wholesome donkeys today. Five and a half to six hours of driving. Well, about four hours from the Canadian border. Take too long. This load I have behind me, this steel that I showed you in yesterday's video. If you haven't watched that, go back and watch that. This steel has some special requirements for me to do at the border. I got to go talk to the broker at the border and get some special paperwork for it to be cleared. So it's a little different and hopefully it won't take too much longer than usual crossing into Canada. Well, close to the border, I was going to say Brandon, or pretty much at the border with Saskatchewan. We're still in Manitoba. We're at this little rest area here. And we've got some very unfortunate news for you. There's white stuff falling from the sky. A boat in it too. Okay. Weasel, you ready? You ready, buddy? You would? Okay, he's ready. We still live in Canada. Yeah, okay. That's cool. Western Canada. Eastern Canada's probably still all nice and toasty warm right now. Western Canada's getting snow. All right. How about it? Beasley, you want to go inside and we get on down the road before the snow buries us? What do you think? Didn't get your Marv wish idea, man. So I had to break out the winter jacket, mostly because I forgot my vest at home. Got this. So at least I'm reflective and shiny. People can see me and hopefully won't run me over and kill me. But other than that, yeah, it's getting chilly, but it is that time of year. We already had our first snowfall, but all that snow that we had a few weeks back that all melted like I figured it would. So this is our first normal snowfall, I think. It's only a few months, you know. October, is that not actually that cold yet? It gets colder. October, November, December, they're okay. Don't worry about those months. If you're new around here, don't worry about those months. Even the first week or so of January. Last two weeks of January, first two weeks of February. That's when hell freezes over. That's when you have to make sure you use a diesel fuel anti-gel, fuel conditioner, and your fuel. Make sure that your fuel doesn't get so cold that your diesel fuel will actually turn to jello. If you don't put conditioner in it, it's happened to me more than once. It's terrible and it leaves you stranded in the middle of a very cold winter and your truck doesn't run. So that's what we have to look forward to. But the best part about it is that after spring comes and then summer comes. So it doesn't last forever. It's part of life up here. Now you learn to love it. I act like it's all this big deal, like I hate it. I don't hate it. It's part of life. I actually enjoy the winter because it purifies the land, right? Hold on. Telling a story. It kills off all the terrible, evil poisonous bugs and things that want to kill me. What? Me and Britt are talking about setting up the Christmas tree soon. Not yet, not yet, but a couple of weeks. She's all excited. I was talking about, oh yeah, the cold comes in and it kills off everything. So we have really no poisonous animals up here. I can go walking right through the long grass and not have to worry about a snake biting me. Oh, we have our garter snakes. They're not poisonous. There's nothing really here that's poisonous enough to kill me. I mean, you go further west into B.C. where it doesn't get as cold and you got black widow spiders and more poisonous snakes and here in Manitoba it keeps the riffraff out, you know? Humans and animals. They just stay away because it's way too cold. No one wants to live here. Not even wildlife. They don't want to live here. That's why I live here. I like my peace and quiet. Oh, it's time to get going. My dad is on his way to Edmonton and he's just probably about an hour ahead of me right now. He just messaged me to tell me that it's snow blowing over the road over there. So it's probably pretty much the same as this here. But he also said that there's clear skies ahead of him. No, we're still in the rest area, Karen. I don't know where you're going. I'm going to Calgary. Heart of the New West. That's their slogan, right? Is that still their slogan or was their slogan last time I checked? Heart of the New West. So let's get out there. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad, but if dad says there's clear skies ahead of him that's just a couple of hours ahead of me. So we just got to make it through this little perfluffle of weather here. Whoa, was that? Ah! Whoa! Ha! I don't make those sounds of me. Grumpy truck. I don't like it that it's snowing either. I think I need to get my windshield wiper motors replaced soon. When they're cold, they do that. They scream at me. Coffee in the morning. Sucking the fuel at 55 to 60 liters per 100 kilometers. Just have to use my brakes. Just let the wind slow me down. Wow, just pulling into Musumen here. Gonna go say hello to Timmy Hose. Grab myself a coffee. Some breakfast. Maybe they got those Belgian waffles. What are they? What are you calling things again? It's like a biscuit, but instead of having a biscuit it's got a little Belgian waffle. I don't know what it's called. It's delicious though. Car charging stations here as well. They have them in Whitewood, which is the next town over heading west. Calm down, Karen. No one cares right now. I don't think they're getting them here. I wouldn't be surprised if they did eventually though. As we were talking about in the past, Canada is developing the TransCanada Highway from coast to coast into an electric highway where you'll be able to have regular electrical charge ups. I guess you can do a cross-country road trip then in your Tesla. Good for you. As long as I can before getting an electric vehicle because I want other people to test it out for me. I want them to work all the bugs out before I buy one. I wouldn't mind having a Tesla, but they have a version of the pickup truck that they're working on right now, but it's so ugly. It is ugly. I want a tough-looking pickup truck that looks just as good as my pickup truck if I'm going to buy an electric one. And it better be four-wheel drive and have all the same capabilities and towing capabilities. That's what I was wondering too. If I want to tow my travel trailer across the country, how would I do that with an electric vehicle? What am I going to have to stop every hour for an eight-hour charge? So many questions. I don't trust it yet. I don't trust it, but I'm willing to see where it goes. I'm willing to see where it goes. Everybody else, you guys, can all go buy your electric vehicles. Let me know how it goes. Maybe, maybe one day they'll convert me. Maybe. Oh, they put a fence back here now. We can't park back here anymore. Is that not their property? Oh, what's this? Look at it. Look at these little poles here. I bet you they're building an electric charging station there, speaking of. Okay. We'll have an open mind, okay? I haven't open my soul on it yet. And I don't guarantee I ever will be. Potholes, man. Maybe spend, spend some money into fixing these potholes instead of building a little fence. I don't know. Just a thought. It's going to be a good day now. It's going to be a good day now. Got myself a sausage and bacon wrap. Oh, there's a hash brown at the bottom too. It's on a hash brown. I'm going to have that right now. And for dessert, I got myself a honey crueler donut. Mmm. I myself a large coffee, two cream and a shot of espresso in it. Just to make sure it tastes like coffee because Tim Hortons doesn't know how to make real coffee. I know I'm, that was just a sin against all things Canadian. I know, but their coffee doesn't, their coffee tastes a coffee-flavored water. Excuse me for talking with food in my mouth. Hungry. But their dark roast is a little better. So I got dark roast with a shot of espresso. Gives you that extra little pow right in the face that you need in the morning, you know? You have a kick right in the face. Ready, Diesel? Right in the kisser. Yeah? Oh, you want this? Oh, I get what you want. So I checked my weather app while I was stopped there and apparently this wind is not going to stop until we get near Calgary. So this will be an all day, it's so windy out here. Look at this, like what the big fans turned on again. Direction going east right now. Practically just put it in neutral and let the wind push you home. Just shut the truck off, leave it neutral. Let the wind take you, you know? And it's sooner or not a minute later. Apparently they have the police there. I was telling you this already, right? Yeah. I don't know why, but we're going to find out. Very curious why they'd have the police there. If I show up early, they're going to give me a fine. Too many people can say that they'll actually get a fine from the police if they're early to work. I don't know if they'll find me if I'm late too. 12 noon on the button. It's when they want me there. Found ourselves in swift current, Saskatchewan, and naturally found ourselves at Walmart. I needed groceries, what? And I just like Walmart. I was really low on food. And by low I mean I was out. No food, no water in here. I don't like to do that because what if I become stranded, right? What if I get stranded? No food, no water. That is a recipe for not a very pleasant time. So we're all set now for the next couple of weeks. Next week anyway. I don't like taking too many groceries with me because I just don't have the room and my fridge is really small. But it is. Take the entrance to the right on Highway 1 West. How do I get on the TransCanada here? TransCanada? Here we go. Number 1 West. We want to continue going west into beautiful, beautiful Alberta. We should be there in a couple hours. We still have about five hours of driving to get to Calgary. I'm going to be getting there pretty late, but I don't deliver until noon tomorrow so there's that. Not a minute sooner, not a minute later. Too big of a rush. The highway here continue our trek.
