 Good morning everybody we're in Brandon Manitoba the Husky we're going to Timmy's Very that's all right the Timmy's We get our breakfast and then we're gonna head that way for about two and a half to three hours and This trip will be done This is the same Timmy's we stopped at on the way to Saskatchewan Hopefully got parking for us in the back here you know I find very often that Timmy's and Esso gas stations and truck stops are on the same property. I wonder if they got like a deal going Are they owned by the same company or something? Very often right across Canada if there's an Esso very likely there's gonna be a Timmy's there too Esso is just like a big Big gas station chain across the entire country up here for those of you not from Canada This is ESSO Esso. They bought out Husky and it's a pretty big thing right now. It's sort of like You're so like pilot You know how pilot flying J. They became one thing up here. Esso Husky became one thing But I'm wondering if Tim Hortons like how they get in on it because they're at every almost at every Esso too Maybe they're just good buddies. I don't know I'm pretty sure there's some money involved there somewhere anywhere. There's a Tim Hortons. There's money involved People who own the own Tim Hortons. They always say that Tim Hortons is the bank for them Very expensive to get into it, but once you have a store Apparently it's very profitable the blue 42 here. It's been very good to me Running very good. This is our load that we have behind us One ton dodge. It's got some damage to it on the other side. There's Some more windows are smashed out and won't roll up and stuff But I'm pretty sure it's either being fixed in Winnipeg or being used for parts We're taking it from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Winnipeg, Manitoba. It's about a nine-hour ride I'm gonna listen to Karen right there, which is just west of Winnipeg. It was pretty much Winnipeg I'm just gonna grab some fuel so I can bring this truck back and park it with full tanks for the next driver or For me if I use it next seems like I've been using this truck the most I'm gonna go to that pump right there Highlighted road right here Karen Going to get fuel Try and keep up always like to leave it with full tanks It's always a pain when you get into a truck and it's not ready for the road, you know What does this say? No DEF available at this pump? Okay? That's okay Don't need DEF today and we have DEF at the yard anyway Well old blue you're a bit dirty now But it was a good trip. We had a good ride The old Pete was over there on the end of the lineup We'll be hanging out on Monday For now it's time to go home Do stuff that isn't work Well, that's a lie. No, there is no end to the work There is just the work you get paid for and the work you don't get paid for The work at home. You usually don't get paid for you usually have to pay for that work Well, it's not gonna work by itself. Nothing fixes itself Actually, I don't think there is any work that we have to really be doing At home that vapor barriers our next big project and I'm probably gonna hire a professional to get that done down there Because I don't want any leaks or anything. I want to make sure all the moisture is trapped in the ground and I'm a professional driver I'm not a professional vapor barrier installer So I'll do as many projects and fix as many things as I can myself But some things you just need a professional to do to make sure it's done right And sometimes it's just a little bit of a peace of mind getting someone who's done it before and who is professional to do it You know, it's sort of like hauling freight, you know, you got to move some freight from point A to point B You could do it yourself Or you could hire the professional who will make sure that it gets there and that all the laws and regulations are followed And that everything is done right and you know It all depends. I mean you could do it yourself. Why not why not get the professional right? That's the point Let's get out of the yard here and we'll be back here soon enough got more trucking to do on Monday Saturday right now home sweet home Now you don't really realize how much you appreciate home until you're gone for a day or two It's a little house. It's it's nothing to really show off like I've said before it's a means to an end We like it though. I mean it's got everything we need right now. I'm about to take these guys out to the dog park Get them Exercise get some energy out of them. We're very fortunate that a new dog park opened in town this last summer Was it the summer before last summer? I think Which is it's a pretty small town. So everything is close by which is very handy It's very very nice once we build on our land. We'll have our own dog park Because it won't be our yard. It'll be our dog park except for the front yard the front yard is gonna be mine nice pristine lawn Landscaped a flagpole lit up at night Rock gardens flower gardens It's gonna be wonderful. It's gonna be a little garden of Eden Right in our front yard dogs aren't allowed in the front yard. They're gonna be fenced in in the back And It'll be a pretty big fence That's one of the reasons we're taking a little longer to save up to to build this place Because I want a fence around as big of a portion of our land as possible. We got a huge chunk of land So I don't know if I'll be able to fence the whole thing in Like with this we want to use the same fence that we used here Just a six-foot black chain link. I'd like to go around our whole property. There's a Clearing around our land already so you could put a fence in there already so whoever subdivided it You know, they cleared lines that's clear where the property lines are which I really appreciate so there's no confusion Okay, my my line or my land goes up to where there's like a that's like an eight foot ten foot clearing And then right in the center of that clearing is where the stakes are. There's no mistaking. We know where the end is I really like that but I could put a fence right down there then right but it's just gonna cost a lot of money Just this fence for around our little yard here. It was a hundred and forty one feet of six-foot chain link fence with one gate Just around half of it because we had a fence on the other half already, right? so cost us $4100 when we moved in here So on our land out there To fence the whole thing in we're probably looking at like $40,000 who knows probably more. I don't know. I just I didn't do the math in my head just there It would be tens of thousands probably so we're not Probably gonna be able to fence the whole thing and we'll see but that's what I want to save up because I really would like the dogs to be able to just wander our land and Not have to worry. I don't even know 40 50,000. I probably wouldn't even be enough Now that I'm thinking about the math in my head It would be quite a bit where we're gonna fence in a huge portion of it Anyway, so they have this huge open space to run around in and also I want to take it into the bush a little bit So they can wander through the bush and that way we don't have to worry about Predators bears and wolves as much coming into our yard. Sure. They can scale the fence if they really want to but do they really want to? Depends on the bear depends on the wolf, right? At least there's an obstacle there to make it harder for them, right? You put up a fence A bear gets up to the fence. He's like, huh Is it worth it as long as we keep like our barbecue clean and keep food and garbage Well taken care of and out of their scent range What reason do they have to go through the work of climbing over our fence, right? They could yeah, they still it's not gonna keep everything out But at least it'll a little bit of peace of mind. It'll keep the dogs in right our dogs. They don't jump fences At least they haven't yet. I Don't know life is full of surprises and I came up. I didn't come up with a new quote. I Heard a new quote, which I'm sort of gonna apply to my life and sort of make it my motto. I Heard it on this TV series called. What was the call again lost in space? There's a download of the season. I've been watching it when like when I did these overnights I was watching it on the road and I love this quote that they had it's called Except the unexpected Not just expect it because you know what's gonna happen But when it does happen in your life and something unexpected comes along and stops you dead in your tracks accept it weigh your options and move forward, okay So I want to apply that to you know trucking and other things in my life, you know You're walking along here. We're trying to build a house. We're trying to save up and there's obstacles we have to Get over constantly always something in life that comes up So when something unexpected comes up you stop you accept it. This is here. This is how it is now weigh your options and Then move forward Thought that it resounded well with me That way you don't get all depressed and frustrated when unexpected things happen You don't get lost and think oh, what am I gonna do now? Now all my plans are completely thrown out the window This is so unexpected. Yeah, all your plans get thrown out the window Stop accept it weigh your options find a way around it and move forward I wanted to share that with you I heard that in the in the TV in the TV from the TV, you know, you learn something every day I'm not the smartest guy out there. I'll Share that with you right now. I'm not a scientist. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a You know rocket scientists. I'm a truck driver. I'm confident in my ability to do my job and do it well Like I've said before I can tell you how to tie down a load of steel Secure it safely get it across the continent deliver it on time Through whatever weather you can throw at me. I can do that. That's where my professionalism comes in That's what I'm professional at but many things in life like like our crawl space underneath the house for instance That's gonna be a big expense for us now because now I've got to hire someone who knows what they're doing to do a vapor barrier and Encapsulation around our whole crawl space and the crawl space is very small. It's only 18 inches high So they're gonna have to crawl around. I'm gonna have to find a contractor that actually wants to do it Then I have to pay him to do it. That was unexpected. I did not expect that expense to pop up But here we are I've got to get it done because I want this house to last and I want it to be more valuable When I try and sell it than when I bought it. So we'll get this done. We realized it was a problem We weighed our options Now we'll move forward with it That's the way life is So thanks for watching everybody. I appreciate it. We had a lot of fun. I hope you enjoyed this. It was a two-niter We'll probably do more of these in the future. I go wherever they need me. I do whatever they need me to do I'm sort of the their catch-all guy. I guess whenever they need something done I want to make sure that I can do everything in the yard and everything that they need done so that you know I'm the guy they can count on So I'll talk to you tomorrow. I hope you have a great weekend
