 Good morning everybody. Got the jacket on. We've got our weasel here. Just about ready to go. Britt and I are taking the big dogs out to run a little bit today and we're going to stop by the center of Canada. It's not that far away from here. We actually live pretty close to the what's it called again? The Longitudinal? What? Longitudinal. What's the word? You know what I'm talking about? Longitudinal? Longitudinal? That doesn't sound right. The center of Canada from east to west. There's a little thingy there. I'm going to go check it out. I've never actually gone there before so I'm going to take you with me. See what other adventures we stumble across along the way. You never know. Diesel, you ready to go for a ride? You ready to go for a ride in the in the truck? You want to go for a ride? I do. He gets just as excited as I do. Chevy, how about you? You want to go for a ride? Over a ride in the truck? All right, let's go, guys. Come on, let's go. You guys have a good nap. I'm sorry, guys. You guys got to stay for a little nap. It's a little too cold out there. We'll be right back, okay? You guys got the whole bed. You have a good nap. You have a good nap, bud. My little gopher. Now I feel bad. Yeah, you shouldn't have talked about it in front of them, please. My bad. You had. Off we go on an adventure. Right, Chevy? He doesn't like car rides. You're going to have to get used to it sooner or later in this family, man. Someone was asking me how the new tires were yesterday in the live stream. They're actually doing really good. They seem to be doing good in the snow. They haven't popped yet. They still hold air. Take us from point A to point B. I mean, that's what counts. And they got a little bit of an extra hum to them. I like them. And they look fancy. They look pretty rugged. And they're very manly. They're very manly, man. Extra man points. Extra, yes. A man card. Caveman points. A man card. This is United Driver Training. They actually have a lot of international students as well. It's one of the largest driving driver trainer centers in Western Canada, I believe. If you guys are looking to get your class one or CDL, it's a great place to go. Drive a dump truck too. That'd be fun. Bringing people dirt. Big companies. This is one of the bigger ones in town. Oh, okay. The driveway goes way back there. I see. They got some nice equipment. Layed off from winter. The street I grew up on. 13s of a row. 9 to 10 years somewhere in there. Almost 10 years. Here's gonna meet me. This house coming up right here was my house growing up. That was the yard I grew up on. Can't really see from here. I know, but I'm not gonna pull in there and ask to walk around. They painted it. It looks a lot nicer now actually. Oh, and they fixed all the the dents I put in the garage door with my Hawking Pucks. Then around the corner here, I had a bunch of friends that lived here. This is named Dimitri. Is this house here? Or is it maybe that red one? Another red one? What's the big one? One of these houses. Anyways, I forget why, but he lived in Saudi Arabia for a while. I think his dad was working. Maybe they were in the military. I don't know if we had a military there, but there are some gorgeous houses back here. I want this one. That is wow. That is wow. That's how I describe it. Nicely hidden away. I think we had seven acres, seven and a half acres, something in here. It was mostly all bush. There was trails leading through it. Our trails connected with these guys back here and their trails that lead back there. I don't know who they are, but I think my dad knew who they were. Beautiful neighborhood in here. That's where I used to go and hang out there too. C.J. Craig. I called him C.J. back then. I think he goes by Craig now. His full name. I think he lived there. Or someone he knew. These people were on my bus, but they were older than me. They were the big kids and I was just a little kid. They were on my bus. Love this place. This is the reason why I've always wanted to have a tree property area right here. And then it opens up into some fields. And then my friend, Stefan Reimer lived down here on the farm. He's on my bus too. We were all bus buddies. We all took the same bus to school. The bus came down here. Every day picked us all up. I went to his birthday party once. It was fun. This was his farm here, I think. Let's see. Yeah, that's it. Right in here. Beautiful farms in this area. A lot of the kids I went to school with were kids of farmers. Yeah, that was their yard. We're all growing up now. I think I'm 32, so he'd be 31 now. I think he was a year younger than me, I think. Who knows? Maybe he's running the place now. And then Karen, I think that was her name. Karen. I actually knew a real life Karen. She was my friend. She was nice though. She lived there. And I think her dad was a taxi dermist. Taxi dermist? Taxidermist. Taxidermist. Taxidermist. One of them taxi derby people. Taxi derby. Taxidermist, yeah. He stuffed an owl for my dad. My dad hit an owl with his truck once and it was still in good shape. And then he stuffed it and that's hanging in dad's office now. I think I've showed the vlog before. Do you guys remember it? That was stuffed there. I'm pretty sure. Pretty sure. And then the bus turned right. We're going to go left because we want to go to the center of Canada. But the bus would go left back into that bush over there and there's some more beautiful properties in there yet. Totally hidden away. No one would ever know they're there unless if you know. You never know unless you know. So just along the trans Canada here, just off to the right, there's a little sign. Center of Canada. Nothing fancy or anything. Sign in some flags. No rest area. Yeah, you didn't even put a rest area. Nothing. Manitoba. Here's the middle. This is the big landmark. We put a sign and two flags and come see it and get out. Got a couple of garbage cans, a recycle bin, two picnic tables, a bunch of rocks. Have any of you been here and if you have, do you see your name anywhere that you wrote on here? I know it looks like a two-year-old's coloring book right now. It doesn't look that good but the idea behind it was great. I like that idea. You come to the center of Canada. You sign your name. I get it. Interesting. What's this say? Welcome Soyuz Labinbu. Soyuz Labinbu. You've arrived at the longitudinal center of Canada. And this is welcome to the center of Canada where east meets west in the Canadian interior plains ecozone. The municipality of Tashay with its nearby communities of work to frame landmark, linden prairie grove, blah blah blah, welcomes you to explore and enjoy the center of Canada. You can pause it if you want and it's pretty cool. And of course over there we got a big sign where you can come and stand in front of it and take pictures with your family. If that's what you'd like. It's pretty cool. And if you come anytime soon make sure you bring warm clothing. It is more than a little chilly and we're not even through fall yet. Just so you know. It'd be nice if they had restaurants here though. That would be nice. Let's go get the boys, let them run around a bit. Been to the center of Canada. Chevy seems much happier now that he got some exercise. Yeah. I thought they'd make this place a little more fancy but maybe they have plans for it in the future. They just set this up like this year. Was it last year? I don't know anymore. What should we do now Chevy? Right next to the center of Canada it looks like there's a pretty large private collection of old tractors and farm equipment. That's pretty neat. I wonder if they have like public viewings in the summertime maybe. It's a museum. What does this say? Oh walk in only. Enjoy. It's free. That's cool. We'll have to come back here and check that out. And it says thank you front liners truckers. I'm guessing they're supposed to say and in there. Thank you front liners and truckers. So you know their friends. Yeah well hey we'll have to come check this out in summertime. It's called Pete's Center of Canada Heritage Museum. Pretty neat. We'll wait for the snow to melt and spring. We'll come check it out. Ripped and the dogs wanted to stay there. I saw one of your comments yesterday where you wanted to see the cab over truck in a little bit more light. I figured I thought they'd run over there now before the sun goes down. I didn't even notice it when I was there. I think it's the trucks unlimited up here right. They had the cab over. I sort of want to see it myself too. We obviously can't take a look inside these trucks at all because of the virus going around around here. I'm not even going to bother going in there and asking about it. I'm not interested in buying a truck right now. I hope that that's what you got off yesterday's video. No I don't want to buy a truck but if I did want to you know my buddy's old truck is for sale apparently. Is this where we saw the cab over? Somebody was saying something about a cab over that I didn't pay any attention to like in the vlog. I paid attention to your comment and that's why we're back here when the sun is still a little higher in the sky. Where's the cab? Was the cab over in Bloomin' Snot? I bet you anything it was over there wasn't it? I don't want to go all the way to Bloomin' Orte. We'll go there tomorrow and check see if we can find it then. It's not here anywhere. Look at this. There's the Volvo we were looking at yesterday. That's John's truck. Pretty sure. Still got plates on it. I don't know if it's actually for sale or not. Maybe it's just parked here getting some work done to it. I don't know. No idea. Like I said, I haven't been in contact with my friends the way I should be. No I guess not. Okay it must have been in Bloomin' Orte. I must have misread your comment. That's not too far down the road. You know what? Yeah we'll go. Let's go. Let's see if we can find the cab over. There's a guy talking about my comment section. I sort of want to see it too because you never see cab overs. Very rarely see cab overs on this part of the planet. So when you see one it's sort of like a head turner. Look at that. Thing has no nose. Here's that new Bloomin' Orte sign we were talking about last night and it was too dark to see it. You can probably see it today. Let me see it. Look at that. It's just a plain green sign Bloomin' Orte. The last one was way nicer. Why'd they do that? I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it. Thumbs down from Dr. Josh. That doesn't happen often. Okay so Marcus Reis. I'm talking about your comment from yesterday. You said you didn't that you wanted to see the day cab or I mean the pardon me the cab over in the comment section. You must have seen one in my video here that I didn't see. So we're back here at Peterbilt. Oh there it is. You're right. There it is. Yeah you don't see those that often here. There's that Kenors we were looking at. See I was talking about those windows in the back of the sleeper. I like that. That's an extra light. And this was that the purple truck I was talking about. I don't like the color but I like the truck a lot. Very much like the Peterbilt I was in except that it has a window in the back. I like it and the stacks in the front. Makes it look nice. Okay let's go look at that cab over over there. Let's go take a look. I like these trucks. Very nice. Okay so this isn't actually this is like a a flock bed tri axle tandem truck. That what you call a tri axle just a you know what I'm talking about. Okay so yeah these cab overs are quite rare to see on this side of the planet. This is an old freight liner. I wish they still made more of them. I don't know why they don't. I always wanted to drive one. That looks awesome. Would you drive it? I mean even if it wasn't just a flatbed truck what if it had like just a regular tandem and you could haul a pull a regular trailer with it. I guess my question is would you drive a cab over? I think it looks pretty sweet. If I was given the opportunity I'm not going to climb up on it or touch it or anything but if I was given the opportunity to drive a cab over for a while I'd find it very find it very difficult to say no because they're fascinating right? We don't see them that often in this part of the world. I wonder what they would use this for though right? Just roll forward just a little bit here. Yeah it's got no plates on it which means it's for sale. Really cool. If I had unimaginable wealth and tons of extra money just flying around everywhere that I had absolutely nothing to do with I'd buy it just for fun drive it around. I don't know what I'd hold with it whatever can fit on it I guess and tie it down and give her. Really cool. Thanks for pointing that out Marcus. I didn't even see it last night when we were here by the time we got here it was so dark already. So yeah I guess my question that I posed to you is would you drive it? Would you drive a cab over? We don't thank Marcus for easing the comment section for pointing that out for us and giving us a good title for the vlog today. Would you drive it? My answer is yes but I don't know maybe people who have driven cab overs in the past know something that I don't know maybe they're very uncomfortable. I heard that they're a little bit more of a rough ride than a regular conventional truck but maybe maybe not. I don't know European drivers are probably just typing furiously right now defending the honor of the cab over. I get it. I get it that's all they have out in Europe. I wonder what Europeans think when they come visit North America and they see our trucks like a nice Kenworth W9. I wonder what they think of when they get into a truck like that with a big nose out in front of you. I bet they feel like they're driving like a big tank like a big limo tank and then there's us here complaining that the sleepers are still too small. We need more. Give us more. We need bigger. Bigger sleepers. How about we just put wheels on my house and I'll just go trucking with that. Just take my house everywhere. Everything's got to be so big out here. I love it but that's one reason I really want to go visit Europe because everything is so close together. So many people so close together. Love to be able to go and see what life is like there. Sounds interesting. Doesn't sound as fun though. I'm gonna be honest with you. Sounds like it's a lot more fun to live on this side of the pond. Maybe I'm a little biased. Okay I'm a lot biased but I think I think it's a lot more fun living on this side. I don't know. Prove me wrong. I've never been to Europe so I can't really talk. We're being bad today. We're getting uh McDonald's. That is all. I believe that would be everything yeah. No thank you. Super duper. I think I'm not saying it with enough enthusiasm. I get a little nervous at the window. I've really gotta sell it. Super duper. I think I'm being way too casual about it. Super duper. I think I've really gotta really gotta sell it next time I think. Okay so I just rewatched the footage of myself. That was a bad super duper. That was a fail. That was if I may as well not even say it if that's how lame I'm gonna say it. Super duper. Super duper. Really? I got it. Super duper. You gotta be excited. No wonder no one's saying anything back to me. I always I always hold back. Get a little bit nervous I guess you know. I gotta gotta get past that but man that was sad. That was embarrassing. I am a way better super duper guy than that. I've got to practice. Super duper. No too much too much. You don't want to scare them either right? Hey they got their arches fixed. Finally those golden arches on the sign there have been burnt out for like a month. At least it felt more. Finally I can find McDonald's again. Probably why we went and got it today. Oh no shame I regret nothing. We're having McDonald's tonight. And that was a delicious delicious double Big Mac but we have regrets. Big regrets. Big regrets. You know we don't know what it is about McDonald's. You get so excited about it you just you have to have it and then you eat it and then you kicked yourself all night wondering why did I do it. And you get the mixed stomach ache and the mixed swelling. Yeah it just makes you sick every time. Give it a week and we'll be driving past McDonald's again most watering talking about how I want a Big Mac. I bet they do don't they? Isn't there a documentary on that? That's it. Salad for the rest of the week. We're running to the store tomorrow to get a couple things. Salad. Salad. We don't eat out that often this was supposed to be a treat but it was a Trojan horse I think. I think so too and it shouldn't have been so soon after we ordered pizza a few days back. Yeah we're not the most greatest example to follow. Guilty as charged. We all have our weaknesses. My weaknesses are McDonald's Big Macs. Burgers, fries. Pretty much anything that tastes good but isn't good for you. But we don't eat out and eat garbage that often it's just when we do it's supposed to be a treat we get all excited about it and then we gobble it down tastes so good and then an hour later you're like oh no why? That's exactly what I asked myself. But anyways we're gonna wrap this vlog up here. The question of the vlog that I want to know in the comments down below is the cab over truck would you drive it? Would you drive a cab over of any sorts and I guess this question is more geared towards the North American drivers and the Australian drivers. Do you guys have cab overs out there? Because I know you European drivers you you're all about the cab overs. Maybe a question for you guys in Europe is would you drive a conventional truck with a hood or do you prefer the cab over? What's your favorite kind of truck? Let me know down below. It's very rare to see a cab over out here so we get very excited about it. So I'll be down the comments section there to see what you have to say. I've got to go to bed though that's what I've got to say and we'll see you tomorrow.
