 good morning internet friends found myself in minnesota this morning and look no snow wonderful because back home like a few hours in front of us to the left so a basic straight north right now headed back up to canora ontario but i live in manitoba it's a little west northwest of here they got a whole ton of snow overnight and it's still snowing there and there's a winter storm warning in effect that winter storm warning doesn't affect me here on this road between canora and brainard minnesota so we get to enjoy these nice dry dry roads i got unloaded this morning and now i'm headed up towards the rainy river crossing from bodete minnesota into rainy river ontario and crossing to canada there make my way up to canora i'm not sure if i'm going to get reloaded today yet we're going to give it our best shot but it's going to be pretty late when i get there we'll see what they say i might have to wait till morning minnesota on the us side from rainy river i don't like showing up right at the end of the day always makes me feel bad sometimes it's just my the way my day works out though you know nothing i can really do to help that they don't want to load me they don't want to load this turn right on international drive and at 72 there's the trump sign on the right big sign coming into town that's how you know you're in bodete trump keep america great i guess you know who this town voted for in 600 meters turn right on international drive and on 72 we're gonna turn you out over the river first 100 meters turn right on international drive and on 72 it's crazy to think that like this isn't the mississippi but crazy to think that the mississippi river starts way up here in minnesota because all the way down to the south end of the states it's a fun adventure to go all the way down the mississippi all the way from minnesota all the way down i missed my turn didn't i i did i missed my turn okay well i've never done that before i wonder where i can turn around turn left on main street west and then 11 and then turn right in 30 meters i know karen i wasn't listening you know women say we don't listen maybe they got a point she was telling me to turn wasn't she wasn't listening now i gotta find a place to turn around 200 meters turn left on main street west and then 11 and then turn right in 30 meters looks like karen's got it sorted out for me drive well yeah there we go i can turn around at this gas station up here there's diesel pumps i mean they expect diesel trucks in there oh lots of them well there's a truck stop here turn right on second street and then turn right in 140 meters i got it figured out karen i got it figured out i'll fix my own mistake nice big truck stop back here never knew that of course on a day when i'm uh already in a rush right i don't really got time to be wasting what are these guys doing parked right in the middle of the driveway here look at this guy this guy's literally parked right in the middle of the yard oh that's a parking spot no way they got parking spots painted there he's not in a spot he's taken up like four spots but they have lines painted there ha as i go turn around back here adventures with trucker josh next time my wife says i don't listen you guys can all tell her that she's right all right only once though okay you can only use that one once i don't want to be hearing about that five years down the road spent chalk in my vehicles when i go to the shopping mall and stuff i've always wanted to do that so that when people park like that in like two different spots and they or they take up two spots i always want to like draw parking lines around their car and then right on the pavement like good job or something you guys seen that online when people do that so frustrating that was easily fixed i'm listening i heard this time left on international drive my bad go dead again they got a dollar general that means they've made it right general sort of like dolorama in canada same thing every town's got one are you really a town if you don't have a dolorama or a dollar general serious questions gotta ask yourself there's out and he's actually towing a trailer did you see that usually they got their tow mirrors out and they got no trailer behind them this street not the next one there's a no truck sign right here right international drive and on 72 there's a no trucks down this road it's the one right after this one the fish i knew that why was i so distracted not watching where i'm going well i'm watching where i'm going i'm not going to hit anything but missed my turn the right side canada border rainy river highway 11 who on this road for 52 kilometers say hi to the good people very attention to myself at the border if i hear a train honk and i usually honk back if i'm in the middle of nowhere no one else around why not they're just saying hello it's rude not to say hello back right publish 1904 how how fast our countries have grown a u.s and canada there's no development here it's like 200 years ago which is all bush people just going in canoes down the rivers now we got roads and highways interstates freeways town cities skyscrapers doesn't take long a population willing to work tell you that more affordable you get a few things straightened out in the country but yeah we'll do it we'll stay here we'll fix it these are probably original houses i think that were built right when the town was settled 1904 is 120 years old that looks about right i guess i was looking at 120 years old for us here that's old i mean europeans that's still like spring chicken still young for us like wow many years sometimes sometimes they're wrong but got a feeling we're not going to get loaded today but i'm still hopeful enough hey there's herbie doing the speed limit but they want to go faster very clearly trying to read the fine print on the stickers on the back of my trailer some like warning labels back there or something oh well doesn't bother me if they hit me there won't even be a scratch on my trailer it's crazy how much the terrain and the land changes hey just like 30 miles south of here was all flat land bush and forest because i believe it's like this all the way up to the hudson's bay you keep going north you have to go up the winter roads to get up there though because i don't think there's any actual developed roads going that far north maybe there is maybe i'm wrong until this guy's probably gonna blow and pass me still 60 through here i believe solid lines and see you're gonna do it always gonna wait till we're out of town no he wants to be right behind me still want to pass pass me you're gonna have to go fast so i'm doing the speed limit it's not the prettiest the front looks all right besides the fact is being dirt besides the fact that it's dirty and i have a patch up there that's coming off classy nothing but class the back is pretty ugly let's be honest it's got an ugly rear end honey that yeah that's ugly but you know what i'm okay with it because i'm loaded and tarped tonight we made it see it's more patch than tarp you see that oh these tarps are just brutal they're holding together right now but i really need to replace them like i was saying yesterday i'm gonna go and find some good tarps i need a set of three i believe eight foot sides uh two ends one center and they have to be blue like these i'm gonna find some good tarps and i'm gonna have to bite the bullet and just buy them i use these things like every day so it's it's time all right okay so what i'm gonna do tonight i know that i'm loaded i'm going to uh go down to fort francis i'm not cleared for the border and i won't be cleared for the border till the morning but i can get up to the u.s border so we'll go to fort francis and go to bed there we made it here to fort francis there's a whole bunch of other trucks i don't know if you can see him here behind me this guy uh right beside me here i parked a little bit further forward than him because i don't think he has a muffler on his apu i know he just wants to stay warm yeah but i need to fix that muffler i move forward a little bit a little bit quieter here so now we're just waiting for our customs and border clearance just gonna double check that it's not done yet but uh that might come through in the morning so we'll be patient and wait if it comes through in the morning then it comes through in the morning i'll be ready to go here first thing uh so the plan for tomorrow is run down a brainard with this load that i picked up deliver it as early as possible and then pretty much just shoot myself straight home brit's agritravel is the day after tomorrow and i have to be home for that and it's going to be early in the morning so i want to get home at a decent time tomorrow so we can get to bed at a good time that i'm not interrupting her sleep coming home she needs to be rested uh it's a pretty invasive procedure as you can imagine uh this is the procedure where they go and uh take the eggs out of her ovaries that have been growing in there all month and that's why she's been taking all those needles you saw in a couple of my past videos there uh it's just uh i don't want to say brutal because it's sort of a beautiful process it's amazing what modern technology and medicine can do nowadays uh but it's it is pretty brutal on her body it's very hard on her body so uh this is the big one gotta go there and get this done now my part also comes the day after tomorrow so i feel very important i might wear a tie i don't know we'll see what happens it's my one part in this whole process i only got one thing i gotta do no one job uh so i'm gonna try to get home as early as we can if i gotta go home empty i gotta go home empty that's fine uh there might be some freight to pick up along the way but i quite honestly i don't even want to pick it up i want to get home as early as possible unless if it's something really easy like sometimes we run over to thief river falls if there's something there we just pick up crates and stuff and it's super quick and easy to tie down it's literally right on the way home that would work out but uh but i can't always choose what i pull right i take what's available at the time and we'll see what's available tomorrow if there's nothing i'm not going to cry about it i just as soon as i'm empty i'm just jetting home so please tune in tomorrow i hang out with me as i uh rush around here in minnesota from ontario to minnesota back home to manitoba and then i'll be home for a couple of days home for the wednesday and the thursday and thursday afternoon we're probably gonna get going again we'll talk about that later i'm climbing back there i'm going to bed take care
