 Good morning everybody. I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I just unloaded my load that I picked up in Minneapolis. Now I'm gonna head to Knorr to grab a load that's going back down to Minnesota. It's about two hours east of here and we'll grab that load, tarp it, start heading south again. This is Gateway. Gateway Road. I'll take us back to La Podye. Actually, you know what? I'm gonna keep going straight. This is Concordia here. I'm gonna go up to Sterling Lion Parkway and I'm gonna head up to the north perimeter around Winnipeg. Go east, take that around to the TransCanada, which will take you to Canora. Nervous parking my vehicle on the side of a busy street like this. They're allowed to park there, but might get your mirror knocked off or something. I can still remember when Sterling Lion Parkway. Chief Pegasus. Why was I saying Sterling Lion? Chief Pegasus Trail. I'm sorry guys, I said the wrong name. This is Chief Pegasus Trail. I remember when this didn't exist and you still had to get through here on Springfield Road. Lion Parkway is another newer Parkway on the west side of Winnipeg. I got the two mixed up. Lion and Chief Pegasus have been around for quite a while, but I can still remember when neither of them existed. This is made transit through this neighborhood so much faster. So you can get from La Podye here all the way west to Main Street in a jiffy. Alright, we're gonna turn north onto La Podye Boulevard. Very pink light my friend over there. I was pushing it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I won't tell anybody. Point our nose onto the north perimeter, which is an actual freeway. So congratulations Winnipeg. You have a little bit of freeway. This is actually really nice the way they did this here, but freeway doesn't last for long because there's traffic lights a couple miles up. So you're getting there Winnipeg. You got the idea. You just got to follow through now. Got to follow through and build more overpasses. I see that overpass you're building over St. Mary's in the south. Very nice. Very nice. Making progress. It's just speeder up a little bit, eh? Instead of just one overpass, let's build like 20. Let's jump up those numbers. We need to beef up those numbers, you know? Overpasses everywhere. I want to be known as like the overpass capital. No? Is that just me? Well, you guys remember it was it last week or the week before where I was saying for once, for once Manitoba has lower fuel prices than just over the border of Minnesota. The price here was about $1.27 a liter for us on our fuel cards with our discounts. In the US with our discounts it was $1.28 per liter and that never happens. One reason was that the provincial government here slash the fuel tax, they call it a tax holiday, so that takes $0.14 off a liter. So you got to remember that there's a reason why it's lower. Usually it's $0.14 higher. Okay? $1.27. Wow! And then guess what happened? April 1st my birthday rolled around and happy birthday Trucker Josh! The carbon tax from the federal government went up. Now the fuel price here is $1.40 plus that $0.14 that's supposed to be on there because of the fuel tax. When the fuel tax comes back on, I think it's supposed to come back on next quarter, but that add an extra $0.14 on that. So even without our provincial fuel tax, we're sitting at $1.40 a liter now with discounts. It's actually higher than that, but we get discounts through our fuel cards and the US is still sitting at $1.28. So guess what? I'm not fueling up here. I'm taking my business down to the US and I'm giving them my money. Just inside Ontario from the Manitoba border headed south towards the US. It's Highway 71 into the US. I'm gonna stay on US 71 in Minnesota until we get to Minnesota Highway 6. Take that south. Going down this road all the way down to Brainerd, very patchy. You can't really talk with anybody. Sort of left to be alone in your thoughts. I listen to runs off of YouTube music so I need internet data for that so it's just silence for a lot of the day. My thoughts get pretty loud sometimes, but I quiet them down. Vist up here on both sides. That is a sharp pointy edge and I forgot to put protection under there. Always use protection. So far it's looking good. It's not ripping. I put protection under this edge up here because I knew this would be flapping a little bit. See, I got this strap on here to stop this tarp from flapping here. It's still flapping a little bit, which is expected, so I put protection in there. So that's not gonna rip through my tarps. I also put protection on the corners here on the edge and on those corners up there. So the whole back of the load here, all these corners, are all protected. This one up here as well. That's not gonna rip through. There's a nice soft piece underneath there. I should have, this is still flapping more than I'd like it to, but it is being held down. I might have to readjust that, that strap. But whatever, at least the corners aren't gonna rip through. But on this side as well, see this side, you can see that. I should have put some protection under there. Worried about that. These are my brand new tarps. Up here I'm not worried about. It's this here. It should be good. It should be good. I noticed that before I left and I made the decision just to leave it because I don't think it'll be a problem, but at least I hope it's not gonna be. It's a little bit of an odd-shaped load. A little different than usual. Hope and pray that that doesn't rip through in that corner there. That's it folks. That's it for today. We gotta call it a day. I made it to Deer River. Make sure my doors are locked. I should always be locked. Not that it, because I'm in Deer River, just because it's the way I said that. I get it. Deer River is a nice town. I don't know. Not, not locking my doors because I'm in Deer River. Locking my doors because I like to lock my doors all the time regardless of where I am. But I'm gonna spend the night here. I was gonna go all the way down to Brainerd, but I'm just getting tired. It's just about midnight. Late in the day already or late in the night. Oh boy, I'm not gonna get unloaded any faster if I sleep there. I can just start from here in the morning, go there, get unloaded. I'll be empty at the same time. It's only an hour from here. An hour and a half or so from here. So I'm not gonna take anything out of my day. And I don't have a reload yet. I don't know where my reload's gonna be or if I have one. Tomorrow is Thursday. So hopefully I'll get reloaded sometime tomorrow afternoon and then I can be home on Friday. That would be perfect. So we'll find out tomorrow. I hope you join me. Thanks for hanging out today.
