 This is exactly the same time of year, two days later, up in Canada, this is what the difference is in climate. I'm going to look forward to winter, nice little change, I just wish it didn't last so long, I wish it was like over in January, but that's when it just gets started. We should be seeing snow here in about a month, maybe a little bit more, but next month or two there will be snow. So it's like this for the next two days or so, we're going to hit the trans-Canada soon, then we'll be on the four lane for the next maybe two hours, but that's it, then it's two lane. Remember that shortcut I took in Kentucky the other day, that was a nice two lane road, nice and wide, this is what I'm talking about, this is what I'm used to, this is normal. Anyways guys, I will see you a little longer, we skipped ahead probably about 45 minutes or so and we're in Fulkin Lake, Manitoba, this is right at the border of Ontario, right in eastern Manitoba there on the trans-Canada, this is a provincial park that has huge lots of lakes in here, lots of good fishing, lots of good campgrounds, very nice area actually, very popular cottage country, what we would call it, all the rich folks from the city, they all own cottages in the bush here right, very nice cottages and they come out here on the weekends to pay country, you know, pretend they're country for a weekend, I totally understand I would do the same thing if I was them, some other people you don't have to be rich to be out here, a lot of other people, the average income cottages, they have campsites here, there's seasonal sites, there's some, you know, average income cottages as well, there's not all big expensive cottages, there's a lot of rich cottages in here, a lot of regular everyday cottages too, everybody if they're at the cottage this weekend or if they work, they're probably cleaning up, that's what I'm thinking, they're getting ready for winter time because as you can tell, all the leaves are changing, I'm filming this on September 29th, 2014, those are changing winter is coming, summer is gone, September 21st was the official first day of fall, right, it sure didn't feel like fall when I was down south last week, I tell you what, man it was still summer time down there, I didn't see one leaf that had changed color yet in Virginia or Kentucky, oh my friends those of you watching living down in those climates enjoy it, as we don't all get to enjoy that, okay so about another 10 minutes down the road, just passing the scale that is in Manitoba, which means we're getting close to Ontario, this is the border scale, once we cross into Ontario it's about another 10-15 minutes and there's an Ontario scale, coming up to the Ontario area signs, you guys excited, gonna be in Ontario for like three days, hope you guys like Ontario because it's a big place to get through, it's a long time to drive through Ontario there it is, welcome to Ontario, sign coming up too, just in case you missed that one they welcome you again around the corner, I remember my history teacher in high school used to always say that, Ontario, that's where I get that from, I didn't make that up myself he was funny, he was one of the funniest teachers I wish I would have known now what, I wish I would have known then what I know now and I would have paid more attention in his classes and stuff, I was a typical teenager thought I'd never need school, in case you missed the last sign they got a nicer sign here for you, welcome to Ontario area, just so that you're sure you are in Ontario now just reminding you, you're in Ontario, where they have nice roads you gotta give it to them, Ontario's got some nice roads for the most part it'd be nice if they'd share the money with the other provinces, you know, but yeah, that's good for those of you who are living outside the country, Ontario is home to our capital city our Washington DC, which is Ottawa, Ontario, it's at the border of Ontario and Quebec but it's on the Ontario side all the politicians live, these are all the rule makers and the law makers live the federal ones, they're all from Ontario well, they're from around the country, but you know what I mean, you know what I mean Ottawa is in Ontario, so we like to bug them in a friendly little way but the reason they have nice roads is because they got a lot of people it's the most populated province in Canada, that's why they have more money for nice roads like this you are very concerned diesel, why are you so concerned well I'm concerned man I don't know why he's so concerned, he must see another oh, there's a dog in that vehicle right there how can you see through that tinted glass man, I can barely see it, you can just see an outline of a dog eagle eyes man high five, pound it no? okay it's pretty impressive I can't even see him in there he's like in the back I don't want to zoom in on someone else's vehicle, that's kind of weird but anyways, we're here at Bobby's Bobby's Bait and Tackle or something, Bobby's Sport Shop your fishing supply center reading a sign over there behind that truck fuel is $1.289 per liter here, times that by 3.78, you'll get the price per US gallon we're just stopping here for a coffee pretty much we've been driving for 350 kilometers, probably about close to four hours there's been a lot of construction on the road so far today I'm just putting my shoes on and we're in Vermillion Bay, Ontario how many of you are from Vermillion Bay or around this area in Northern Ontario, trying to put my shoes on here not working very well here we go, this is why I like to wear flip flops it's a little cold up here to wear flip flops I don't think that dog wants to talk to you man, I'm sorry he probably doesn't know who you are it's a hobby to talk to me man somebody thinks you want to talk to me man my CV's just hanging here anyways we're going to go inside here and get ourselves a coffee today's sort of going to be a bit of a shorter day I'm running low on hours in my log book so I don't have a full day to drive today actually I do have a full day to drive but I have limited hours to drive in the next two days so I've got to make sure that I don't go over my hours and then I can start recapping my hours and then I'm planning on resetting as I cross over on the ferry to Newfoundland and for those of you I know there's like half you don't even drive trucks so you probably don't know what a reset is it's hard to explain but I'm only allowed to drive in Canada 70 hours and 7 days and if you go over that there's big fines and you can get in a lot of trouble and in order to start a new cycle a new 7 days you've got to stop for 36 consecutive hours and be off duty not doing any work no driving no like hooking up to trailers and unhooking and stuff like that in the States it's a little different you're only allowed to drive 70 hours and 8 days and then you need a 34 hour reset in the States but I don't know why they have the 70 hours and 8 days it doesn't even make sense it makes it a lot harder to get anywhere anyways yeah up here we're allowed and we're also allowed to drive 13 hours a day up here whereas down there they're allowed to drive 11 hours per day so I love driving down in the States because it's like heaven for truckers if you've driven anywhere else in the world and you come to drive there you're like wow it is nice driving truck in the States very nice it does not even come close to that anywhere else on this planet but I like driving up in Canada because it's more wild, it's more wilderness it's more like old school trucking you know the way trucking used to be in the States mom and pop truck stops like this gravel parking lots, two lane roads so I get the best of both worlds sort of going back and forth between the borders just good and bad points on both sides but anyways that's some rambling on here I need to get my coffee anyways we're at Bobby's Sport Shop for Million Bay Ontario check this out yeah apparently they're making the road wider coming in to Dryden Ontario here that's Dingwall Ford on the right that's right Dingwall Ford come to Dingwall Ford get yourself forward to Dingwall Ford sorry I shouldn't relatives living out here in Dryden if they're still here somewhere I don't know where exactly but they're here hello Dryden is actually a pretty big city it's only three and a half hours from Winnipeg into Ontario that's the big mill ahead of us there they make paper there, it's a paper mill and that pretty much supports the entire city here but I heard that they've been doing big cutbacks and laying off a lot of workers in the last couple of years and it's really had an impact on the town here a lot of people out of work and a lot of those people have been coming to Winnipeg for work and Steinback and you know Manitoba I've met a lot of people who are from here but lost their job at the mill and are now scrambling trying to find something else and what else is there to do in Northern Ontario so they come to Manitoba nice tanker very nice okay here on the left is a semi coming it's a Volvo VT 880 I love those trucks but they don't make them anymore and I don't know why but that's a long nose Volvo someone tell me why they discontinued that I think it was a winner I think they should have kept it five of these things or anything there's probably a good reason that I don't understand that probably makes sense I was actually going to call it a day here in Dryden but I decided you know I got hours I'm going to see if I can get to Nipagon or Thunder Bay a little ways further down the road yet probably going another three or four hours what was that man? you fart? man my farts don't sound like that so we are shut down here in Ignis, Ontario didn't quite go up to the Thunder Bay stop that we were thinking of it's getting dark and I don't have to go that far today if I don't want to take it easy remember I can't go over my hours I can just make a longer day tomorrow but like I was saying it's getting a little dark out I mean it's still late out now but by the time I get to Thunder Bay it would be pitch black and there's moose on the loose I'd rather not drive with moose on the loose at night didn't turn out so well for me last time so I mean if I had to I would right it's part of the job you just got to do it but since I don't have to today why risk it? we're going to shut down here and we're going to get going as soon as the sun comes up in the morning I think nice and early I don't have quite a full day to drive tomorrow but I can drive almost a full day which will get us about one day from our destination and then after that I got a full day of driving in because I can recap my hours and then I can get to my destination get to my next destination I'm going to Tweed, Ontario we're going to Pointe de la Crosse in Quebec and from there we're going to the island we go from Pointe de la Crosse that's right up in eastern Quebec above New Brunswick pretty much then you go down into New Brunswick cross into Nova Scotia up to the northern part of Nova Scotia then you take the ferry an eight hour ferry ride across to Newfoundland island that's right it's a little chilly out probably have to use my bunk heater tonight what do you think Diesel? you want to go outside? no? okay good I don't either so yeah we're going to shut down here for the night and I'll talk to you in a bit walking a weasel walking a very impatient weasel man you in a hurry to get somewhere or what? look at those bushes over there doesn't that look nice? are you coming? are you coming? apparently he really needs to go to the bathroom I'm the master I'm walking you you're not walking me I set the pace it's my job I'm a pace setter he doesn't usually pull like this it's only when you really have to go to the bathroom I don't really want to let him loose here right now because there's a lot of a lot of drivers here not as many as some of us well you know he would be okay if I let him loose the reason I don't want to let him loose is is the water and the mud because you know the first place he goes to as soon as I let him loose if there's mud around the mud see now I can guide him around the mud but he thinks I'm just giving him a hard time I need to go man why are we taking the long way to the grass man clearly just going through the puddle that would have been okay my truck would not have been okay with that okay here you go here you go have at it but have at it do all you need to do so this is Ignis remember I was here not too long ago big gravel parking lot this is a very typical truck stop in most parts of Canada depending where you are unless you're in Ontario or Quebec then they have paved parking are you video bombing me again diesel one one was that couple I'm probably about a week or so I'll go for you or a week or two I didn't realize as long as editing it but diesel was literally video bombing me dropping a bomb in the back over my shoulder right a stinky one sorry about that it didn't mean for you guys to see that but I saw that and I got a laugh out of it so I just left it in there whatever whatever camera see now he's gonna go back and forth and back and forth until he finds the perfect spot so like I was saying yeah this is a very typical truck stop you know big gravel parking lot this is what I'm used to we all just sort of park wherever as organized as we can get some people don't get the whole organized parking thing they just park however they want wherever they want but at least there's a store here I'm gonna go inside see if they got some videos I need to add to my collection I collect DVDs and Blu-rays if you haven't noticed I really like them I know Netflix is there and I don't have to buy the hard copies but I like having the hard copy I don't know I need everybody collect something or no one needs to collect something I collect movies but only good movies none of those bad movies well I guess I have some bad movies in my collection diesel what is it with you in that rag leave it alone man crazy so many things just sniff but anyways guys I know today was a bit of a short day we only drove five hours did my logs now and now I am saving what hours I have left for tomorrow I should be able to get a pretty much a full day in tomorrow well not a full full day but I can drive nine hours tomorrow plus I got a fuel so eight and three-quarter hours is the drive time that I have available and once we stop for the night we'll probably stop in the afternoon and then we'll go to bed really early when the sun is still up probably and we'll get up really, really early on Wednesday and book it on down to Tweed, Ontario, Tweed T-W-E-E-D, Ontario that's where we unload anyways guys thanks for joining me today not much to show you because I didn't do much but this is what I did take you along whatever day I take you along on whatever I did that day today I just didn't happen to do much okay, at least we made some money today that's all that matters hey guys we'll see you tomorrow 4am central time right you all know that diesel you're pulling me in circles here this grass smells really nice man just take your word for it diesel 4am central time every day I have a new video up so we'll see you then tomorrow if you want to see more of my videos see what I was doing all the way up to a year ago there's links in the description down below for you see you tomorrow
