 Good morning everybody. It's another new day. Arrived right on time again with a nice blue sky for us. A little bit frosty this morning. It's a little bit colder than it's been recently, but it's still warmer than what it usually would be at this time of year around here. So we've had a very mild year so far and I'm not going to complain about it and I don't want to jinx it, so knock on wood. It's been a nice warm year. This tree we're going to have cut down as soon as possible. I don't know if you can see it or not, but it grows very crooked, you see? Because there used to be another tree right there and I'm guessing as they both grew together that one pushed this one this way and I'm scared that in a windstorm, if we ever have a bad windstorm here that's going to fall on our neighbor's house. Got ourselves a new toaster. The gift card from Amazon. Very fancy. Her dad's stepmom got a new puppy. What kind of puppy is it? He's a shorky, a shitsue yorky. Always going to be a little yappy? No, not if you train it out of him. Okay, shitsue and I think I'm... Yeah, I'm not a shitsue fan, but yorkies are pretty cute. I'm just not a small dog person, believe it or not. I just like dogs, but he's adorable. I prefer big dogs myself, but I like dogs. And no road trip, no matter how small, starts without Timmy's. I just noticed they don't have any Tim Hortons signs on this side of their building. How are people in the drive-through supposed to know where they are? Actually, it's true. When I worked at Tim Hortons, at least once a week we would have a senior citizen coming through ordering a Big Mac and not knowing where they were. It was kind of sad. Also scary that they were driving. Did you give them a Big Mac? Did you direct them to the nearest Big Mac? I did, and I was allowed to know but gently that they were actually at Tim Hortons and thinking in the back of my mind, please don't kill anyone on your way to McDonald's. But usually businesses would have their name all around. I guess it's back there. I don't know. Meaningless topic doesn't matter. As long as they have my coffee, that's all that matters. That's right. I don't have anything. Could I get a roast beef sandwich? Potato wedges with spicy mayo. With spicy mayo, okay. And a large steep tea with one meal. With one meal, okay. And half the sugar. Half by sugar. Half by sugar, yeah. And could I also get a crispy chicken sandwich? A crispy chicken sandwich, like the craving for? Yeah. Okay. And also potato wedges with that. And a large coffee with two cream. And a shot of espresso. A large coffee, two cream with a shot of espresso? Yeah. And what kind of dip sauce are you wanting for the other wedges? Ranch, please. Ranch, for sure. Is there anything else you can feed today? That is it. Okay, as you know, it comes up this morning. What are you at the window? Super duper. All right. You know, Nella, I think about it ordering that much, we really should have gone inside. We're those people right now. I forgot that we could because they've had it closed for so long. Yeah, let's just have it now and go through a drive-thru. And now they let us go inside, thank you for getting, yeah. You're right, we should have gone inside. We're those people. We're those people. I apologize, the person behind us is watching. Who knocked down the gate again, Diesel? Diesel? Who knocked the gate down? Somebody was in the window when he was supposed to be in the room. Chevy was still in the room. He didn't leave, even though the gate fell down. Was Diesel a bad boy, Chevy? But you were a good boy? These kids, these kids. Commander, commander, we need a status report. Who did it? Who did it, bud? Was it Diesel? He was. Diesel, look how bad he feel. Why'd you knock the gate down again, buddy? Why'd you knock the gate? You know you're not supposed to do that. Was there someone at the door? Hmm? Stop doing that, okay? Stop it. The second time he's done that. So we leave them in their room when we're not here. So they have this big bed to lay on, King's Eyes bed, bigger than the bed we got. And we just put the gate up here so the air flow can still flow in the house and everything because if we don't, Diesel goes absolutely crazy if someone comes to the door if they're delivering a package or running the doorbell or anybody walks by too close, he goes a little crazy and he's ripped down curtains before. So we're working on that, but in the meantime, while we're not here, they stay in their room so that they don't hurt themselves or damage the house. But sometimes, lately, he's been knocking the gate down. He's usually good, though. Diesel, come here, come on. You're still a good boy. Just recently, buddy, you had a little bit of, it's just twice, it's okay. It's okay, the hiccups. So you're all probably wondering how the grain hauling job is going or went and I'm not gonna go too deep into it, but it did work out, unfortunately. We didn't see eye to eye and it really wasn't the place I thought it was. I'm not gonna go into details, but I think that there's a reason why there's such a high turnover rate. It's not for me, it's not for me. And as a side note, as a second thing as well, the grain dust that I was dealing with as well was causing me to have a little bit of an allergic reaction, I think. It was closing up my sinuses. Like when I got a face full of dust the one time while I was unloading, my sinuses closed up and my breathing got a little bit heavier, which tells me I'm probably allergic to grain dust a little bit. And it sort of makes sense. It reminds me of my childhood. I think I had somewhat of the same reactions while I was working on a farm. And so it probably would have been a problem. I would have just combated that by wearing an N95 mask. Not a big deal. I was really excited about the job, but as I said, it just turned out to be something different than I thought it was. Chevy, Chevy, I gotta spend more time with you like this anyway. So the hours would have been really long, you know, getting up really early, getting home really late every night. And I was totally okay with that. It would have made it work. But I found something else that's much closer to home that I can sleep longer in the mornings. And I can also get home sooner in the evenings. Spend more time here, and it'll work out perfectly for me, I think. So we'll be okay. We'll be okay. It's probably better that I stay away from the allergies anyways. And if grain is causing me to have reactions, who knows if it would get worse over time, even if I did wear the mask. It's probably not good for my lungs. They seem to not like it very much. Meh. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day though. It'll be a good day. Oh, oh my, it's a party. Was I invited? No, it's over now. No truckers allowed. Diesel's retired, so he doesn't care. I have a super trucker. So, with all of these changes happening in my life, with the vlog, we're going to be incorporating a whole bunch of new different things into the channel, obviously, because I'm at home more, and my life has sort of changed. I'm not living on the road anymore. I get to enjoy actually having a life. So, I've always called my vlogs just sort of, like it's always been TJV, right? Trucker Josh vlogs. And I've always sort of labeled my trucking videos my trucking life. But I think I'm going to start calling it a trucker's life. Or just trucker's, no, a trucker's life, because the vlog is more about my life, not just the trucking side of it. The vlogs won't change. I don't know, I'm just spit ballin' ideas right now. It's late, I'm gettin' tired. I am really excited for what the future holds in store for me though. Big time in my life, right? Everything's been sort of the same for so long, and now trying to find out where my best fit is. It's sort of exciting. So, we won't be hullin' grain, but we got other things lined up. It's gonna be all right. I was looking forward to that a lot, and you know, it was very disappointing. I really thought that it was a completely different place than it turned out to be, and you know, I was warned before going there, you know, that there's a high turnover rate for a reason, and it's hard for them to hold on to people, because not a lot of people really wanna stay there. And you know, I don't believe everything I hear all the time. You know, I'll give everybody a fair shot, and when I show up, I will be completely honest. I'll be completely open, right off the bat, saying, this is who I am. I'm gonna bring my best to the table, and you won't regret having me on your team, because I will give it 110%. And on top of all that, my allergies would've definitely gotten in the way. So, you know, it's all in the past, lesson learned. Now I know, you know, I'm not gonna throw them under the bus or anything, but I'll say I was very disappointed with, I just thought that the treatment there would be different, but it is what it is, right? That's all I wanna say on that. That's all I wanna say on that. So, we're gonna be doing something else. They always say God closes one door, he opens another. Or he closes the door, and he opens a window, or he closes the window, opens the door. You know what I mean. We're gonna be all right. And we're gonna keep our positive attitude. We're going to keep saying that it's going to be a good day. We're gonna keep doing our best, and we're gonna keep striving to be number one wherever we go. We wanna put our best foot forward, and we always wanna do our best. Regardless of if people treat us right or not, if they're honest with us or not, always do your best anyway. Okay, at least you can say you did that. Be honest and forthright right off the bat, and just realize that you're not gonna get along with everybody. You know, not everyone's gonna like you, but you just gotta keep moving forward. So, with that all aside, I'm gonna be focusing a lot more on my family here at home, a lot more on the life behind the scenes. Maybe focusing on things that I haven't before. You know, it's things that I would... Over the last nine years of vlogging, there's a lot more to me than what I've been filming because I've been off on the road traveling the continent. It's been very exciting, but I'm excited to move into this next chapter of life. My new TJV Gaming channel is taking off pretty well. I'm very happy with the progress there. The link is down below in the description if you're into gaming and stuff. I'm a little bit of a gamer. I'm doing more of it now that I actually have the time for it. And I usually hang out in the live stream there with you guys and chat with you guys for gaming. It's for some people, it's not for others, but if you wanna check it out, link is down below in the description. There's that and we're gonna be focusing on my wife, the dogs, hopefully we'll have a baby coming along soon and life is always changing, life is always evolving. I'm still gonna be trucking. I've got a great trucking gig lined up. Very excited about that as well, so we'll be okay. We're always gonna land on our feet, we're like a cat. You're gonna get tossed me off the wall, I'll land on my feet. I guess just for the past decade, I've been at a place that set the bar so high. They were such good people and they treated their employees so well. They treated their employees like family, right? It wasn't just that it was family, run. It was family oriented, those are two very different things. When you say you're family oriented or family, run. If it's family run, it's all about that family, right? And you're just the peasant doing their dirty works that their family can succeed. When you're family oriented, you care about all of the families of your employees as well, just as much as you care about your own, right? Because you want them to succeed as well because the rising tide raises all boats, right? You want everyone around you to succeed. You don't wanna be the person who's only thinking about yourself and trying to get yourself to succeed because it's very, very difficult and pretty much impossible to succeed when you're just trying to lift yourself up, right? The waves are always gonna drag you back down. When you try to get everyone else around you to succeed as well. Tide rises all boats, right? It's a really good saying that I like to think of, I like to make everyone around me succeed. And I was at a place that was very much like that. I was very happy and I've heard horror stories from other places throughout the years and you know, some of them seem so unreal but not so much anymore, so much anymore. I've been spoiled with really great places to be. But anyways, like I said, we'll add on our feet. I got another gig lined up and I think it's gonna be one of those great companies to be with as well. We'll see what happens, but it's gonna be good. So thanks for listening everybody. I appreciate it. Sometimes you just need to vent a little bit. I took a couple of days off. I didn't upload anything the last couple of days. I was a little upset with how I was disappointed with how everything turned out. You know, I was really excited about it and gave myself a couple of days just to think it over and I really think now that I dodged a bullet, you know, I wouldn't have been happy there. And everything happens for a reason. So I wish them all the best in the future and on to bigger and better things. All right, we're making a vlog. Right now actually is the next day I'm filming one for tomorrow. Take care everybody and I'll see you then. Remember, be number one today.
