 Hello, this is Morgan and Shawn. We're from Great Falls, Montana We love watching Trucker Josh vlogs So today is one of our Christmas decorating days and when I say one of our decorating days that's because we barely made a dent in all of our decorations But it's been glorious. We got our tree up while we're in the process of getting it all set up here and she's Touching aren't touching. She's putting all her ornaments on the tree that I don't dare touch Because I touched one once and it broke And I am very lucky to still have a wife Yeah, I got a lot of the outside decorations done already you can see a little head in the window right there I Still got to do all of these yet. So we got to do the whole garage yet and Whatever we're gonna figure out to do with those I'll give you a little look Little preview because we're not done. Just letting you know this isn't the finished product This is just what we've gotten done so far. I mean I have door slippers on Go take a look All right, so I've got the whole front done and I've started to go around the house That's as far as I've gotten so far. It's a little bit windy out here So bear with me guys that started just as I literally just as I started a vlog in here All these icicles all the way along there We got our snowman right over here And our little wiener dog our Christmas wiener Saying hi to everybody and it goes all the way along to this side of the house here And then here I'm still working on it So just the red and green just like the other side are gonna go this way these icicles I'd love to have them go all the way around the house, but those are a little bit pricey Those are the most expensive lights out of all of these so we just did the front With those but these red and green ones Gonna get it all the way around here yet And we can't see anything back there right now, but A lot of work to do that's why we started early right and for us we've already had Thanksgiving So there's nothing now until Christmas so it's It's an ongoing process of setting it up. We'll start a little earlier next year But the lights don't turn on until after remembrance day And it is after remembrance day So the red and green are also going all the way around our garage. I'm gonna set those up some time yet But uh, yeah, I think it I think it looks pretty good. I love this snowman Britt picked him out here I love that I think that adds a lot Super cool We love Christmas. I don't know if you guys have noticed or not. It's our favorite time of year What do you think there frosty? Now that you're all lit up You seem a lot more lively today Did you know Santa's my homie Yeah Lives a little further north of here What were you doing out there man? It's cold I was just showing the good people here the Christmas lights that we have up so far So far And every year we want to add on to it, right? So I think next year we're going to uh Do a little bit more inside the house We went a little crazy or a little crazier outside the house this year So next year we'll do more inside We got all of this here ribbon and Britt is an expert tree What would you call a tree decorator? I got it from my mom So You can go a little wiener dogs. We we know the kind of look like rats, but it's a wiener dog. I promise last year All right, what do you think diesel? What do you think? It's a work in progress man. Well, at least get the tree done tonight Snowball, I got this from santa in my stocking when I was four So he's got like no paint left on him all the paint chips are floating around Oh my but it's important to me. So I still put them out Britt's ornaments She keeps every single one and every single ornament she has is very sentimental and has a personal story attached to it It's true. That's why when I when I broke that one it sort of broke part of your soul Well, no, we got to keep part of the ornament. I still hang it ashley gotten this for christmas one year when I was nine years old Isn't it beautiful? No, it's never been tampered with don't touch. This is as close as we're gonna get people I'm already too close. I'm starting to sweat Starting to sweat So we've got the christmas tunes going We've got the dogs here that we're supposed to be helping But They're very good very good That's what we've been up to today tomorrow. We start heading down to georgia So we've got to get all our christmas done today as much as we can. I mean we can do more Uh as christmas gets closer, but I wanted to get the stuff outside done before it got really really cold We can do the rest of the stuff inside here as the season gets closer So we got quite a bit more of the lights done before we left home, but it's time to go back to work Gotta go make some money christmas is coming So steinback, like I said, they they put up their lights here uh in november But they don't turn them on until after remembrance day. I'm thinking that's what we're gonna do next year and from now on at home It's just a little bit too cold I was lucky that we had a pretty warm weekend this weekend that I could work outside and not freeze But I still have to finish quite a bit like I haven't even started on the garage yet And I got two more strands to put up on the back of the house Just it's taken a lot longer than I thought it would just because I'm learning what I'm doing and uh You know, I'm using these clips now. We got a new roof and eaves drops So I gotta figure out how it all works. That guy's got his high beams on over there at the light Trying out a lot of people It's this big blue light shining at you in your dash. You don't see it. Anyway, uh Yeah, so it's gonna take a lot more time. So I think I'm gonna like start like in fall time But I won't turn them on until after remembrance day Just to make it easier on me because it gets cold so early here, right? If this was the u.s. Like a little further south or even some warmer parts of Canada, I can understand Yeah, I wouldn't want to put them up that early. But yeah, that's the manitoba This is why no one lives here because it's so cold I'm thinking I'm gonna set them up a little earlier next year, but don't worry. I won't turn them on All right. So Karen's showing us our route here. It's 2,922 kilometers to our destination We're starting up here in manitoba, canada and we're making our way down through the united states Down to southeastern, georgia. So That's what the route looks like from afar as for we're starting off today. We have four days to get there Somebody and this load you see that's where I am right there, right? Winnipeg manitoba. This load actually came from Edmonton, alberta, which is way over here So it came from all the way over here It's going all the way down here All the way down here to a loves travel center Down there someone down there needed a an underground fuel tank From up here. That's a pretty long trek So here I'll put this This came from right where that cursor is there across the continent I love these kind of trips. I haven't been down to georgia in so long I'm so excited to get down there again and see how everything's going I know it's going good. It's the south of course. It's going good I'm just into north dakota Literally just crossed the line and my truck started telling me I need to stop and do a parked regen Which pretty much means that there's a lot of gunk built up in my def exhaust filter And I need to sit here and clean it out. The truck sort of burns it off this way But I have to stop here for a parked regen which usually takes 40 to 60 minutes been here for 20 already 25 minutes I haven't had to do a park regen in so long. I don't even remember the last time I had to do a park regen Usually I got to do a lot of these if I idle a lot like if I idle through the night And I guess that makes sense because I hardly ever idle anymore Uh And I've been idling a little bit more recently because there's been some cold nights But apparently Now my truck needs to do a park regen So we're just patiently waiting Just on the american side of the border as soon as this rpm goes down And it tells me that everything is good to go We can continue down the road Well, we're stopping in grand forks north dakota, which isn't very far but I messed up my regen You can't move the truck or you can't do anything while you're in the middle of a regen, right? If you interrupt the regen you have to start all over turn if possible. No karen, we're gonna go in here So I thought the regen was over so I started rolling right i'm like, oh good. It's over No, it wasn't if I would have waited five more minutes I would have been done But then what my truck does is it wants to start all over again And each park regen takes about like I said 45 to 60 minutes No, karen. We got to go to sleep here now Didn't make it as far because uh pretty much sat there for two hours while my truck tried to regen Well, whatever we're gonna stop here for the night and oh a nice spot right here too check that out Check that out. I'm gonna park right in there Right here front and center right in front of the pumps. Well, it's really weird here is uh, you see that scale right there The only way for you to be able to use the scale and go over the scale Is to come from over here through the pumps. So if there's somebody in the pumps, you can't get onto the scale It's like, you know where you would wait for a coffee You know, you feel you pull ahead and you wait for coffee In that one lane like one two three over from the end here That's where the scale is Okay, I guess if someone's in front of you too bad you got to wait for them Or if somebody's on the scale you can't get out of the point you have to back out of the pumps How weird is that? Haven't stayed here in a while. So I'm just gonna send my paperwork into the office Wadi-dadi-da Did my post trip Almost said pre-trip that will do in the morning. How about that only one thing at a time? I need some sleep first it's uh 1137 in the evening now I was really thinking that I was going to get furthered in this Oh, well Oh, I have a lot more than that that's how long I can go till a half hour break We're going into the sleeper here into the sleeper All right Good times. Good times. So thanks for watching today a little bit of home time a little bit of On the road time Now we got three days of driving from here to get down to southern southeast georgia down by the coast there Should be fun.
