 Never fear, Alvin's here. You're watching TJV. Good morning, nice freeliner. It's gonna be a good day. I've decided this once again, so it will be so. It's gonna be a good day. Or trucking. What could go wrong? I realize how that sounded when it came out of my mouth. What could go wrong? I don't know. Trucking? That's okay, just because things go wrong doesn't mean it's gonna be a bad day. I mean, maybe nothing will go wrong. The load there, eh, Weasel? Wouldn't that be fun to pull that? That's a long load. He's already sticking way out and he's up on here. It is what it is. You gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done, right? You don't want your nose sticking way out in traffic. That's just asking for your hood to get ripped off. And be careful with some of these drivers out here. If you forgot and you haven't watched yesterday's video yet, shame. Go watch yesterday's video. Go watch yesterday's video. But if you didn't, this is the load we're pulling. Apparently it's farm equipment under a big blue tarp. We're taking us to Red Deer, Alberta. I picked it up near Winnipeg, Manitoba. We're up here in western Canada on the prairies. And we slept here in Balgoni, Saskatchewan. It's just outside of Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan. I know exciting places, exciting places. I'm glad you're here with me. I'm glad I could share this moment with you. Diesel, what are you eating? Nothing. Just bits it out as soon as I said that. What are you eating? A steak. And it was a piece of wood. It looked like a tree. It wasn't. Woo! Start day! Sneeze like a man! Red Diesel. I've got some breakfast here, got some coffee here. Put her in gear. Fill her up with air. Turn the lights on. Pause for a moment. Roll forward just a sec. Just a bit. Pull the trailer brake. Just a double triple check there. What you saw out there is true. It's connected. Off we go, trying to avoid the potholes. Caught something, there's some big ones right there. You've got cones in them, they're so big. Look out, you might lose your truck here. Don't do it. Don't do it. We've had to call the tow truck ten times yesterday. Watch this one right here. Put the cone right in the middle of the hole. Feedy Creek. Formerly known as Swift Current. Saskatchewan. You want to see it? I'll give you a glimpse here. It's beautiful, isn't it? We're here at the Tim Hortons. I parked in the back corner here, because Diesel and I are going to do our walk right now. He wants to go outside, go for a walk. Yeah? I'm going to check out Swift Current. Let's do it. Kind of overcast here. Looks like there might be a slight chance of rain. Let's quickly check the forecast, shall we? Know how we should dress. There's no before you go. Come on, Google. It is 17 degrees Celsius in Swift Current. No chance of rain. Oh, wait. 24% chance. I like those odds. We'll take it. One second. What is 17 Celsius in Fahrenheit? 17 degrees Celsius is equal to 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit. There you go for my American friends. Trying not to fall out of the truck. Wait. I'm going to come around to your side. No, no, no. You can't come out this side. I'm going to come to your side. You have your own door. Pretty cool, eh? Much better. Still, didn't use the last two steps. I paid for all five, you know? That joke he's getting old, man. Stop it. He's embarrassing. Got to get my fitness app all set up here, so I can feel good about myself later and brag about how far I went. All right, my fitness. Boom. Workout begun. All right. He's alive. No idea where we're going. Where do you want to go? You lead the way, man. I'm following you. Let's go a little further than that bag, though. Okay? Here we go. Come on. How about let's go this way. If you're undecided, I can't make up my mind, man. There's so many possibilities. Swift current is so exciting. I'm just going to mark this with a bush here so they know I was here. Just in case any ladies come by. That one's mine. It does smell me. Low diesel was here. This one's pretty nice, too. Oh, I should have saved some for this one. That's a big one. Very nice. Someone else was here. Can't quite make it. I think his name was Greg. I think I got some left. I think I got some, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'll save it for a different one. Oh, look at this one over here. Back here, way back here, man. Follow me. They're going down here. Good thing we parked all the way at the back. Oh, diesel don't pull me down the hill. I don't want to fall. Going down this way. There's no, like, rattlesnakes or anything in Saskatchewan, is there? Should I be on the lookout here in the long grass? I don't think so. In Manitoba, there's nothing to worry about in the long grass. Except for garter snakes. They might catch you off guard. That's why they're garter snakes that catch you off guard. Oh, there's a hole. Oh, my goodness, guys. Look at this. Oh, there's another one over here. My goodness. Is there any more? I bet there's more this way. Diesel, I think I saw more that way. No, they're definitely not that way. They're this way. This way. Oh, my goodness, the big one. Look at this. That's a big tree. More big trees. Wow. I wonder how old these are. I say they're older than you, man. Which is old. Very old. Thanks, Diesel. I think our home better, too, when I get back. I got quite the view out this way across the street. That's nice. Hey, Diesel. You're not getting tired yet, are you? I'm good. I'm good, man. I'm good. Are you getting tired, man? Oh, man. Yeah, I'm good. You sound tired, Diesel. You're not tired. You're not tired at all. We have water when we get back, right? Yeah, we have water. You've watered my boat. We're in with that. We're both getting older. But we've also gotten fatter, and that's probably the main issue. That's why we're out here doing this and exploring beautiful Swift Current at the same time. It's 3.38 kilometers. 8 kilometers is equivalent to 2.1 miles. Okay, so just over 2 miles. Not bad, not bad. We'll work our way up to 3 miles a day. 2 miles is pretty good. Time to hit the road again. You ready, Diesel? That was fun. That was fun. I've missed exploring. Now I've seen a part of Swift Current that I didn't even know existed, and it was very nice. For this Tim Horton's parking lot here, try not to lose a wheel or half our truck in these potholes. One thing I'm getting for all blue. Eventually, when I put the big bumper on her, or him or it, whatever it is, when I get the big bumper, it's going to be a power lift bumper. So I'll just hit a button on my dash here somewhere, and the bumper will actually go and lift up so that I can go through these potholes and rough parking lots without worrying about bending my bumper on the ground. It'll also be handy for wintertime when there's snow banks and stuff. Definitely adding that, because I don't want to put a bumper on to make it look all nice just to bend it in Tim Horton's parking lot. Very fancy Cadillac. Very fancy. I am impressed. I'm impressed. The motor, okay? Commences. I was extremely rude, Karen, interrupting me like that. You're always talking over me. My GPS is updating over there. I needed quite a bit of updates. Let's see if I remember how to get out of swift current here. Up the service road. Turn in here. Trans Canada number one west this way. Need to it today. Just going to tell them we're getting into Alberta. Heard her feelings yesterday when I told her she's slow. Good job, Karen. Medicine had a flying jay, grabbed myself a bean cup coffee, and we'll continue on to Red Deer. It's good to be back in Alberta. Looks like it's about to rain, but I hope that's not headed west or headed east towards Manitoba. Though it probably is. Probably going to be driving in that all the way home tomorrow. It rains overnight, and I don't have to roll up my tarps and tarp the second load in the rain. I mean, if I have to, I have to. But the system, that came up fast. I didn't come visit you just for more rain. It was just going to be a downpour. A dark section, and nothing happened. And it just sort of passed over us with a little bit of a sprinkle here. I think this is a new Petro Pass truck stop just south of Red Deer. I never knew it was here. We found it. Hopefully there'll be parking here for us. I wonder if it's from my delivery to more and more. Burger King here, and I got a Tim Hortons here. Truck parking, diesel fuel. This is something they needed, because Red Deer was always lacking in truck parking. There's a park in here. We can have our pet park right here. Here we go. This is a spot. I think it's a good spot. I actually decided to move. Like I always do. I was like a dog after circled a lot three times before I find a parking spot. Nothing's changed. But I realized that I was parked right beside a Super B filled with gasoline. So I figured, huh, with all these empty spots all across this entire lot, I picked this spot right beside a big old tank of gas. I don't think so. Just in case there's some kind of fire in the middle of the night. I don't want to be right next to the bomb. So I moved to the other side of the lot. Lots of empty spaces. We're good here. Right, Diesel? It's always better not to get blown up. In my opinion. You agree? Yes. I believe that would be a better option. Yes. Thank you for agreeing with me. Validating my feelings. Means a lot. So thanks for watching every day. Every day and for today, I'm tired. So I hope you tune in tomorrow. We're going to make another video tomorrow. I got to deliver this freight tomorrow into Red Deer Alberta here. And then go pick up another load and head home. I know I've been talking about it a lot, but when we get home, old blue is supposed to be ready. It's supposed to be ready. And I realize now that there's a few other people on YouTube and around the world on the internet that call their trucks old blue as well. And that's okay. I'm okay with that. There can be more than one old blue. I honestly thought it was the only one. So it's not like I was stealing their ideas. I honestly, Britt actually came up with it. My wife, she came up with it. I thought it was original. It turns out Chase Barber from Edison Motors out in BC, he named his prototype that they're making old blue. He's making a diesel electric hybrid truck. And I saw that he calls his truck old blue as well. And there's a couple of others, I think that have been pointed out to me as well. So I didn't do that on purpose, but I think it's okay. I think there can be more than one old blue, right? But there can only be one old blue that belongs to me. And Chase's is old blue. Like with the D on there. Mine is old O-L apostrophe blue. So it is different. I don't think he'll mind, do you think? He seems like a good guy. He's from Merritt, BC. I think he's a good guy. Maybe we can meet up with him one day and we can let the old blues meet. I think that'd be kind of cool. What do you think? I'm gonna stick with the name anyways. I like it. So, I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. Don't forget to tune in and don't forget to subscribe. Thanks for watching.
