 Jesus Well, you put me in your spotlight now, man. What what's going on today? We're going home. Are you serious? Going home today man You ready to go home? I Don't believe you. I believe it when I see it going home, man the official start to the day so we've been gone 17 days I Think it is I think it's 17 days this trip a much longer trip than We've had for a while and it was fun. It was good We went to Northern Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Maryland, Georgia And now back across to Manitoba. So it was a lot of fun. Why is everything dinging at me now? I'm trying to talk to the good people here That's how it happens, right? I'm not even joking. I can sit in this truck complete silence No GPS yapping at me. No truck beeping at me. No phone dinging for like hours And then I'll be like, you know, I want to talk to the good people. Let's let's vlog a little let's talk to the good people Everything starts dinging and beeping and ringing GPS starts yelling at me They all want to say hi to you guys. They all like you guys a lot. That's the way it is Let's go home. We're not getting any closer to home sitting here And this guy's already backing out because he knows didn't beside me He's having a tough time with it though Nothing behind you, buddy. Just give her. Okay, you want to that'll work. Yeah, that'll work. Yeah, all right Okay, so I'm gonna get on the road as well We have about three hours to the border and about another hour and a half into Headingley, Manitoba Just west of Winnipeg and we got to deliver this load. I have in the box behind me Then we go home go home for about two days Won't be that long but my next home time will be longer But this home time is two days and we got a lot of work to do at home So once again, we're not getting any closer to getting anything done sitting here Let's get out there back in Canada Do you feel that? Do you feel that? Exactly a smooth road They just finished with highway 75 here again. So we've actually got a smooth highway here And this is gonna be smooth for at least six months Wow Enjoy it now. Well, you can because it's not gonna last long Highway 75 northbound just over the border back into Canada. I Was in the US for eight days That was the longest time I have visited there in a long time Crossed through at Holton, Maine went down the East Coast to Georgia Picked up our stuff there Mosey to our way back It was kind of my the fault of my logbook that it took longer. It should have we should have been back home Already, I should be sitting on the porch right now the cold drinking my hand but no No, the law says I Had to slow down. I've been working too much trucker Josh. You've been working too much If you work anymore, we're gonna find you if you keep working. We're gonna put you in jail Okay, okay, guess I can't work too much then Do you have to worry about that at your job You have to worry about them putting you in jail for working overtime Anyways, we got like an hour and a half to win a peg here. So and Gotta go around to the west side there. I Am enjoying. Wow. This is a smooth highway I'm glad I'm documenting this because this will probably never happen again Oh, and they built it looks like what cement this time and not with asphalt Which is good because that's what the Americans do and their highways seem to last a lot longer than our highways But the Americans also build their highways with like a four-foot foundation ever seen them building one of their interstates Like from the ground up Like they they they put like four foot of foundation on that thing a Lot of our Canadian roads. We put like what six inches Or just a little brother. We can't do everything is big and fancy We don't have all the money. They have I guess They do have access to a little bit more mula than we do so I Guess it is what it is. It's still better. This is paved And it could be gravel sometimes gravel is smoother though than some of our paved highways when the potholes start showing up Sometimes I'd rather have a gravel highway It's been a good day. It's gotten hotter as we got no came further north 23 Celsius out right now Probably like 75. I'm guessing fair night somewhere under 70 75 70 Very nice. It's very I think that's yeah, it's around 70. Isn't it? What do I know fair night makes no sense makes no sense. That's silly. That's silly talk fair night Welcome to Winnipeg We're in the summer of a st. Norbert Right at the southern tip of the city when you're coming up to 75 Jump onto the perimeter here and take the perimeter around to Headingley, which is on the west side of the city You know why we had the perimeter in Winnipeg You know why? Because Winnipeg is home to Canada's largest bio lab You know just like the bio lab that leaked this virus in Wuhan in China. We have one of those right here in Winnipeg Funny thing is though ours has never had any leaks But just saying if there was a leak they have the perimeter To quarantine the city so pretty much if there was a leak the entire city would be quarantined inside the perimeter But Yeah, right in the inner city, I believe it's by the Arlington Bridge is that where it is is the Canadian Biolab Research Center So all of the worst viruses in the world including the new sickness going around That is all being researched right here in Winnipeg at our facility And we have somehow managed to contain every single one of them and never had one single incident in In the history of the of the whole lab the history lab, but just saying Just throwing it out there When a peg is home to a bio lab too, and we've had no problems But that's why they built the perimeter. That's what I was told anyways. Maybe they lied to me I don't know a lot of people have been lying to me recently all kinds of people all over the world always telling lies so Research it for yourself But from what I was told the perimeter here around Winnipeg was built for quarantine In case there was a leak at the Canadian Biolab, I guess they would surround the city with the military. I Guess if you're inside the perimeter when the leak happens, you got to stay in the city. You say inside the perimeter I guess they'd bring the military in place in the Lockdown city. I don't know Just telling you what I was told the empty trailer in the yard Swept it out made it all nice and clean ready for the next driver Got all my stuff and my weasel into the pickup and we're headed home It's a little drive. It's quite a drive to home yet from here, but Being a little nice to live like right next door to the yard, but now whatever I like this occlusion. I like being Far away from people From big groups of people Comes in handy when there's pandemics going around, you know It's kind of nice I was reading a news article yesterday from around the southeast area here of Manitoba saying that apparently Rural properties in Manitoba have been selling like crazy. It's skyrocketing Everybody's trying to get out of the city and they're realizing the benefits of living in the country Yeah, you live around a whole bunch of people. You never know what you might catch. I Was country before it was cool Fun fact for you This church on the right here is a green roof on highway 59 south of Winnipeg My parents helped build that They were leaders in that church used to be called Village Gospel Fellowship and My dad was a deacon my mom was the accountant I believe my dad was also an elder elder and deacon and The pastor that we had when we were in this church is the pastor that married us pastor Ken Harder He's the one who he moved down south. He moved to Kansas. He's a pastor there now lucky guy escaped the cold That was a long time ago already unfortunately the church Broke up everybody went their own ways the building was sold It's too bad. That's the church I grew up in anyway. I was there many days a week Oh quite a few days a week anyway, yeah, I remember we used to before we had that building built We had gathered for church on Sundays in the school the elementary school in Niverville And then eventually we had saved up enough money and we built this building. I was with a good old days Long before I had any responsibilities of my own Lived with mom and dad Came home there was food on the table every supper time the food in the cupboards all the time fridge Was always thought never had to worry about buying anything myself all those were the days Living with mom and dad. I moved out of the house when I was 18 a little too young, but I was ambitious and Ready to be independent anxious to be independent. I Could have waited at home a few more years probably would have been smart But I gained a lot of experience and I learned a lot of lessons the hard way And that's the best way to learn sometimes Because it doesn't matter how many times people tell me Something is bad or I shouldn't do something until I actually experience it for myself It usually doesn't stick as well And we're at home unloaded all the stuff I need to wash on my laundry inside Back into the garage now and unload all of my Equipment that I took off the flat bed truck on my flat bedding equipment Put it away neatly in the garage here Oh That's good Whoa Careful josh geez all right, so my ladder some of my corners Oil and a free stuff that I had bought battery charger Stuff like that I'm going to put that all in the garage here because tomorrow we got to put wood plywood Into the bed here because we got to close up underneath our veranda.
