 Oh, I'm Country Traveling Martin, Southeastern Manitoba, Canada, and you're about to watch the best, greatest YouTuber on the internet, Trucker Josh. Enjoy the show, give it a thumbs up, and don't forget to subscribe now. Back in the old Volvo, and we got a special guest with us, Chevy! While Diesel's paw heals from whatever's making it all infected, hopefully it's just a little infection, we've got them on antibiotics and the feds got them on all this other stuff, so hopefully that'll heal it up. Because if that doesn't heal it up, there's a chance that it might be skin cancer, melanoma, and then we have to amputate his toes. So let's hope and pray that it's not that. So we'll see what it looks like when we get back from this trip. We'll be, before New Year's right now, when I'm filming this, we've got to deliver the first part of this load into Saskatoon tomorrow, which is the 30th, and then we've got to go in the afternoon to Atchison Albert on the west side of Edmonton, try to get there in the afternoon, deliver that on the 30th, and then the 31st and 30th, we head down to Cam Loops where I'm going to be spending New Year's. I've got a motel there lined up, so I don't deliver this freight and Langley until the second. So New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, I'll be in Cam Loops. Hopefully I can find some fireworks or something to go and see here, but I've got a pet friendly room reserved for me and Chevy. And we'll just relax, watch some TV, watch the countdown on TV if we have to, and ring in the New Year in Pacific Time. And then early in the morning on the second, we'll make the trip down the Okanagan, or not the Okanagan, what's it called again? What can't I think of it right now? The Pappapa, the highway between Cam Loops and the Lower Main Land, the one that goes way through the mountains and always has lots of snow. Something pass. I can't think of it right now. Oh, I'm having a brain fart. You know what I'm talking about though. It's the one that's on highway through hell, that show. Yeah, we're going through the highway through frozen hell. Early in the morning on the second. If it's going to be bad weather, I'll probably just leave on the New Year's Day in the afternoon or evening or something to get a little head start. But it's about a three hour drive if the conditions are good. And then we unload from the second. Hopefully we'll get a reload back home. And then Britain and I have a fertility appointment. We're going in for the IUI procedure early in January. So that's where they take my guys and drop off at the finish line. It's very likely that she'd be pregnant after that. But let's hope and pray we've been having fertility issues for a long time now. So let's hope that that solves all our problems and we can get a healthy little baby boy or girl. Either one doesn't matter as long as they're healthy. Let's get going. Let's get on the road. We got our trailer behind us. We're hooked up. It's rock and roll. We've been sitting for too long. Well, we're making our way around Winnipeg. You can tell because there's traffic lights. So you know I'm not lying to you. Look, this guy on the left is super raced car 300. Isn't that supposed to be a family sedan? Looks pretty nice actually. That was a little risky cutting in front of me there in Little Civic. My truck would have eaten you for breakfast. Not quite the new year yet, but it's sort of like the new, the first trip of the new year for me. Because we're going to be arriving back in the new year. I'm rarely home for new years because I take off so much time for Christmas. I can't take off all the time in the world. So I pick and choose and Christmas is more important to me than New Year's Day and New Year's Celebrations. So I mean last year I think I was home for new years or the time before. I'm home every now and then if it works out, but I never make it a priority because Christmas is a priority. And now that that's gone for 2019, we look forward to Christmas 2020. It's about 360 days to go. Something like that. Got to figure out how we're going to make next Christmas bigger and better. Probably going to have a little baby by then. So got to make the first Christmas mind-blasting. U.S. right now in North Dakota all the way down to Kansas right down the Midwest or the winds. There's a strong North wind coming up out of the Gulf of Mexico. Top of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia is pushing north and there's this strong wind up here. Headed south to meet it. So you get this ice cold Arctic air coming down to meet the nice Gulf air and they're meeting right above Nebraska, approximately. And it's creating this swirl, this massive swirl over the entire Midwest of cold air and hot air and it's turning it into just a huge blanket of snow down there. So we're above the snow, you know the Gulf is below it, but man are they getting some of the shut down I-94 from what I heard just like south of here. Good thing we're headed west in Canada and we don't got to worry about that. But sorry guys, we're sharing our Arctic air with you and we heard you guys were a little bit warm over Christmas and that you know you were thinking the world was coming to an end. So we said no, no, no, not so fast. Here's some Arctic air for you. It'll cool yourself down a little bit. There you go. It's still pretty cold. We'll share some with you just to prove it. I'm around Portage Le Prairie already on my way west in Manitoba. Can you guys see there? Oh it's so windy I can't even get my windshield clear. My windshield washer fluid just blows right off the side of the truck. Coming up to Brandon I believe. I want to get all the way to Saskatoon tonight yet so I mean the days are slowly getting longer again but as soon as the sun goes down to you, nature takes over and you want to go to bed. Clean off this windshield so you can. We are in Balgoni, Baloni, Balgoni in Saskatchewan. This is pretty much just outside of Regina. We're going to head up north here towards Saskatoon. We'll be there in three hours or so but first we're stopping at the Flying J. 200 meters. Turn right on Highway 364 and then No Karen. Right in 100 meters. In 200 meters we've got to go around one of these goofy roundabouts. Oh wait no there's this bypass. I don't even have to go around the sweet turn right and then turn right in 100 meters. No we get a bypass around about I'm going to turn left now. See what she says. She's gonna be so mad. We're going to the Flying J. You know what I'm getting there. I haven't had their their freshly fresh ground bean coffee for 22 kilometers. Hush. I haven't had their what do you call that like a fresh ground coffee since before Christmas. So we're going in and it is going to be fantastic. I have been craving it all day. I was going to stop at the Flying J and heading west to Winnipeg but I had already grabbed a coffee before I started going so I didn't that would have been like one hour apart. I'll still buzzing off the last coffee. I didn't need another one then. These bad boys. So we pull in here. Oh Mr. Penner wants to come on. For six kilometers. No I'm going to turn into Flying J Karen. You just hear me talking about the coffee. All right Penner. Come on Penner boy. Penner, Penner, Penner. Joyce you are in the driveway. So this is uh one of my favorite stops. I don't like staying here for night though. I'm just giving you guys a heads up. My fuel has been stolen or I've had fuel stolen out of my tanks twice. The last two times I've stayed here. Both times someone stole fuel out of my tanks. So just a heads up if you want to stay here. I'm sure it doesn't happen that often but I'm the unlucky one who it's happened to more often than not. So we don't stay the night here anymore. If we don't have to and if we do we try to stay. This is empty. There's not a lot of trucks on the road because it's still the holiday season. It's like between Christmas and New Year's right now. So most people are at home. Even the yard where I picked up my trailer almost every truck was in the yard. It was packed and they actually offered they when they lined up this load for me they made it so that I could be home for New Year's as well. I had to tell them no no no I'll work over New Year's because I want to get back home for Britt's cycle. We got to go for our IUI. We got to go put a get a baby growing inside of her. All right so I needed to get home sooner. So I could have stayed home for New Year's as well. I could have been home right now but here we are living the dream. Wait I don't need to park in the pumps. I'm not getting fuel here. Come on second. I don't need to block a pump. That's rude. Have I learnt nothing from my own blogs? You don't block the pumps. Silly. Never park in the pumps and go inside if you don't have to. All right coffee time. Well she's still there. Still there. So what we're dropping off tomorrow is from these yellow things back. These yellow things are going to Alberta. Everything back here is all going to Saskatoon tomorrow morning. Let's go get our coffee. It's weird that my mouth is watering. I hope they have it. Sometimes these smaller ones don't have it. Oh they have it. They have it. It's right here. These are what I'm always talking about. And I always take the organic Columbian. Get the big one. Go back to your home because we're, you know, it's the holidays still. It's the New Year's. Okay put a little bit in there. You want that organic Columbian large. Organic Columbian. Let's say no room for cream because you'll see. See it takes the beans out of there and squirts it into there. I want like a small machine like this for at home. Oh here it comes. There she goes. That ladies and gentlemen is the best coffee you can find on the highway. You see and I put the cream in first so that it mixes itself and you don't have to stir it and if you put just a little bit in you can say on here don't leave room for cream and you'll see it'll stop before the top. If you tell to leave room for cream it leaves like an inch at the top and that's valuable coffee that you didn't get for the same price. There you go. I am way too excited for this. I know, I know. But hey like I said it's still the holidays. What? I'm hungry. I have to be quite to frost. You wouldn't hear it boys. This is a cold one. It's getting not that cold yet but you know. Got to talk about something. All the trees here have that frost on them. They call it whorefrost. The name that somebody picked for it. We don't know the story behind why but it's called whorefrost on the trees. It turns the trees a beautiful white. In the morning it's going to be so beautiful. Man you got a lot to say again. It's going to be beautiful in the morning. It's everything's just going to be crystal white all sparkly in the sunshine if the sun's out. It's going to be gorgeous but it's getting colder now. It was warmer today and now it's gotten cold pretty quick. That's what causes that. And it's minus 15 Celsius here right now which isn't that cold. You done? She's a talker. She missed me. You missed me Karen. I'm still married. I'm still off the market Karen. But yeah it's gotten because it's minus 15 so it's supposed to warm up tomorrow again. I think she just likes the sound of my voice. Yeah so we'll wake up tomorrow. We'll wake up tomorrow and Karen will be silent the whole night. She's still got more to say that's why I'm not saying another one. But it'll be warmer in the morning is what I'm saying so the whorefrost won't last long. No one cares Karen. I'm pretty sure this guy wants to be in this lane. I don't know why he's in that lane. I don't know why that car is tailgating him and not just going around in one of the two lanes on either side of him. Wow that's quite a mouthful. What was that again Karen? I didn't quite catch that idle while it's supposed to be idle while drive. I guess she's not gonna let us know again as I'm turning corners. I have power steering. Flying J saskatoon. Just like at the other flying J. There's like nobody here. 100 meters make a U turn if possible and then turn right into 150 meters. That was awesome. I'm not gonna have to fight for parking this weekend because everybody's at home with the people they love celebrating New Year's. I'm out here delivering freight. All the more parking for me. Let's grab some fuel because I want to fuel tonight. I don't like going to bed with empty tanks in the winter even though it's warmed up quite a bit already since we're driving. It's only minus 10 here. Get our sails and go go jeez. Oh oh I didn't see that coming. Should have seen that coming. Let's see if the DEF pumps work here. Or if we'll have to go to Petro Pass tomorrow. Gotta fix your DEF pumps flying J. They don't work in cold weather. Look into Petro Pass in Canada. Their DEF pumps work in any weather. All the way down to minus 40 minus 50 their DEF pumps are still working. Figure out what they're doing and copy them. I won't tell anybody. I do just want to point something out. Those trucks in front of me they're parked right over there with all these empty spots here today. The parking lot's more than half empty. These guys still paid to park right up front. Now I don't want to laugh because they might need to park there because they have a disability and they can't walk as far so let's not laugh but uh let's just say if I see them walking inside without any problems I'm gonna laugh. You paid for parking when the parking lot is half empty. All right we're all fuller right up to the top. I know exactly where I want to park already and it's not here. I do not pay to park especially when there's so many free spaces. I'm not even parking in the parking lot. This guy's not even in a spot. He just wanted to be close to the doors. These last two trucks aren't even in a spot. Oh come on guys don't be lazy. Sometimes I can cut you some slack but other times I just gotta call you out. You're lazy. You're lazy. Oh somebody parked where I wanted to. Oh no it's still open. It's still open. I know where I'm parking. I know where I'm parking. Shoot I gotta go around the other way. I thought I saw a better spot. Nope. Nope. We're still going with this spot over here on the road because this guarantees a nice quiet night. I'm gonna back in to the dead end there. Well everybody, me and my new jacket and Chevy. I'm gonna call it a night here. Thanks for joining us today. It's good to be back on the road again after Christmas. Tomorrow we deliver here. Rush towards Alberta once we unload in Alberta tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully we make it there on time. If not I can unload there the 31st of the morning but I don't really screw up my plans to get to my motel on time because I have a motel in Camelope so I was telling you reserved for tomorrow for the 31st. But I want to get there with enough time in the day to check in settle in, watch some TV, figure out what's going on for New Year's Eve, maybe go see some fireworks. I don't know but I don't want to get there at like two in the morning after New Year's. So we got to get everything done then we have to get done tomorrow. So we have all so we can get there.
