 Good morning. Good morning. We're back at home getting stuff done Running into town picking up materials Going back home realizing you forgot some materials going back into town getting more materials This is ridiculous already, and I know that I'm known for being a little bit forgetful at home like you know But it is just kicked into overdrive I guess cuz I got a lot of projects to do and I'm trying to get them all done this Time home at home. It's part of being a truck driver. You know, you're only at home a certain amount of time You gotta get a lot of stuff and everything done like everyone else gets you know evenings and weekends to get their stuff done Me I only get the days that I'm at home to get everything done when I'm on the road Just obviously I can't Get any of that done so We're getting our master bedroom all finished up And I want to get that already this time at home So we went and bought the flooring today. I went and bought paint rollers paint and Britt was with me We went into town. We got all this stuff. We went home. We're so happy We're like yeah, we got this stuff and a little bit stressed out But well at least we got all our stuff and I realize We don't got all the stuff And she had to go to work and I was supposed to be working in the room there all day today But no, I'm gonna spend my day going back into town getting more stuff You know didn't sleep well last night because I knew I had a lot of work to get done while I'm at home now And I'm sitting there looking at the roof, you know, like hey am I gonna have enough time to get things done? What about this? What about this? Oh, I forgot about this. I got to do this too Okay, this doesn't have to get done But if I don't do that then this won't get done. So yes, I have to get that done How am I gonna get this done if I don't do that? So I have to do that But in order to do that I have to do this first My brain just spray spins a million miles a minute, right? And then eventually I get to working and once I get to the job and to working Stress goes away right because work is a stress relief to me thinking about work is stressful Actual work Fixes it. So when I'm getting stuff done, I'm being productive That's when I feel good about myself, I don't like just sitting around doing nothing I don't like just sitting around thinking of all the things that need to get done and getting nothing done So I didn't sleep much last night. I just got up and wandered around for a bit And I ended up falling asleep at like six in the morning or something I slept till 10 and then I wake up. I'm like, oh great the whole morning's gone. Could have been working this whole time I'm a mess. Oh boy We're gonna be okay. We're having fun But we're gonna be having fun as soon as I get my stuff that I need gotta go get more stuff So what we're doing is we redry while the room, right? We were gonna reframe it We were gonna change it all around Change that we just decided to redry while the whole room put a new flooring in the baseboards and crown molding in It's gonna look really nice. The ensuite's gonna have a new floor. I think too And getting a new tub in there tub surround Everything's gonna be freshly painted. Host is gonna look great, right? We got the mighty Steinback traffic holding us up here now. I need a trailer like this I like this trailer beside me on the right nice dump trailer like that That would be handy that would look really nice hooked up to my truck Much better than that Ford That's nice. I Can make use of that. So I'm okay to say, you know, I'm okay Playing it up a little for the vlog maybe Sure. I'm stressed out. I'm always stressed out. That's just me. I'm just a stress bag I never used to be never used to be But here we are living the dream Sometimes I just feel a little overwhelmed and I like to just vent to my camera. So I Know I can hear your comments already saying you just need to chill just calm down. I know I know but Sometimes in those moments. I like to vent to the camera. I'm sure it's a little relatable to a lot of you We all go through this. I'm not saying I'm unique in this Overwhelmingness That's just life, right? That's just life. Maybe some of the young kids watch my video be like, oh, wow I didn't know life like was like that after school. Oh, you think you're stressed out in school now. Whoa You just wait you just wait. Oh, it gets better. It gets better You wait until you have thousands and thousands of bills riding on your back every month Gotta make sure you don't miss one of them, you know, gotta keep track of everything all of them There's no mom and dad around to, you know, catch you when you fall I know my parents would probably try to help me out, but I refuse help And let's say absolutely needed help is my absolute last resort to ask someone for help Maybe I've got a little bit too much pride. Maybe I'm very stubborn. I like to think of myself as just very independent. I Want to do it on my own So that's the way I've been feeling this morning, but it'll get better. Don't worry. Don't worry. I'll get home I'm here at the EG Penner here in Steinbeck get picking up some materials. It'll get better as soon as I get home I'll get in the room there. I'll start getting stuff done as soon as I get my first little Piece of project done. I'll feel a hundred percent better. I know me What it's got staring at me talking to myself As it don't don't act like you don't talk to yourself You talk to yourself. I know you do everyone does I just have a camera filming me talk to myself He also drives a Ford It's probably jealous. That's probably why he's looking at me probably looking. Oh, I wish I was driving a Chevy Totally understand bud totally should have thought of that before he bought a Ford Now you got to live with yourself. I don't know how you do it, man Come on bud. Are you gonna go? No, I'm gonna go then it was your turn over there, mr. Ford Fine, I'll take your turn No, it's gonna go after you. No, I insist after you. No, I insist after you No, no, no, no after you Where to go where to go I'm on the lumber side. I need to go to the other side and you pick up my flooring $1,100 For flooring For one bedroom Where's this guy going? Where's this guy going? I'm sorry, but I don't know what I'm doing $1,100 Whoo, that better be golden flooring like it seriously better be made of gold And we got the cheap stuff. I thought well, not the cheapest of the cheap. It's like waterproof Uh laminate flooring Clicks together We got the stuff that's pretty easy to lay down because I don't want to spend like three days Figuring out how to put the floor in so we got the we got the easier stuff to put in. That's what I mean Okay, Dina Like all We're just renovating one room and I'm thinking of my love man. This is expensive. What am I building a house? I think it would have been I think it would have been cheaper just to build a whole new house renovating one room There isn't Come on It just don't give us a break Oh, man I think I'm gonna back up to this door here. There's door on the right That's where uh, my stuff is supposed to be waiting for me Lovely lovely. Yeah, I play it up a little bit for the vlog. I'm not actually that That crazy. I am a little crazy Let's be honest, huh? Okay, maybe I'm a I'm a lot crazy. Okay But that's why you watch me, right? I'm a very weird guy There she is 15 packs That right there is $1,100 And that's all we'll say of that $1,100 Am I told you that yet? Well, I need to put my hat on so my mind doesn't get blown all over the place Wow Gotta laugh you just gotta laugh and what else can you do? It's gotta be done. It's gotta be done Life is expensive children. Are you listening? You don't know the half of all the things your parents do To keep a roof over your head a floor under your feet Food in the fridge for you be thankful for your parents. I hope you got good parents I was very fortunate to be it to grow up with two very good parents And I understand that not everyone else is as fortunate But uh, you know Parents are pretty awesome. They do a lot. I had no idea the expensive things in life You know, I got a buddy. He's got three kids He says like almost 1500 bucks a month to feed them like three teenage kids Like $12, $1500 to feed them every month Whoo something to look forward to But you never regret it you never regret it. It's always worth it Speaking of parenthood, britain and I have No good news to share with you yet Still waiting for god to give us a little bundle of joy Thank you to all you who are praying for us and sending good thoughts our way here We appreciate it. It's uh It's been a journey and since this whole virus has has popped into the world from china Uh, everything's been shut down including our fertility clinic and uh Our fertility clinic is supposed to be open for appointments But there's only one fertility clinic in all of manitoba the whole province, right? And they aren't We've never had very good customer service there. It's not covered by our medicare So it's not covered by our free health care. We pay for it. It's $600 a month Speaking of money everything's expensive $600 a month And we get better service from our free health care doctors When we're Anyway, that's a different story for a different time We haven't been happy with the service from there, but this month they were supposed to be open And so when the time comes around brit gives them a call and she goes on these uh Fertility meds and stuff and then when the time comes we both go in there and uh, you know, they They drop the boys off at the finish line. That's iui And they were supposed to do that this month, but they don't do phone calls They don't do in-person appointments right now. They do phone Email not even phone calls email. So brit emailed them and said k. I need to hear from you guys in the next three days Or we'll have to wait a whole another month So emailed them no response back still not it's been weeks So Wouldn't know what's going on. We haven't been able to get into the fertility clinic Maybe next month. It's been a bit of a frustrating journey there as well, but As you've been gathering from this entire vlog all of life is frustrating and stressful But uh, you got to be able to manage it. All right Just because life is stressful doesn't mean that you have to turn into a ball of anxiety and just Shrivel up on the floor and shake right you got to learn how to deal with this and as you grow older you learn that It's a fact that you just got to deal with Lots of stuff going on all the time Our lives go a mile a minute And it would be so nice if there was 48 hours in one day because each day There's not enough hours in a day to get stuff done But i'm not complaining not complaining Just trying to be entertaining here for you guys Because I don't really have anything else to talk about today. We'll go to the house and we'll uh, we'll start working on that room Like I said, that'll make me feel a lot better now that we got our flooring Did I say it's $1,100 for one room? I think I said that already didn't I just want that to soak in You can tell I don't do this for a living or that I don't do flooring often right and drywall and all this stuff Because I had no idea how expensive this stuff was I went in there like yeah, probably like what two or three hundred bucks Gives me the bill $1,100 Huh? Excuse me. No, I would like a cheaper one Shows me the cheaper one. No, okay. I better go with the better one I wanted to last more than six months Oh the life of trucker josh I feel that I must be kind of an interesting guy to watch from the outside view in because Things just happen to me all the time I keep forgetting things weird things go on. I'm a weird guy to begin with I'm glad I started filming all this to document it because I don't think anyone would believe me if I told them I am a strange one So thank god they still had those pieces there that I forgot. I told you that right I forgot our uh We bought a Long painting sticks with rollers and I forgot them in the yard back there when I was loading This stuff from this morning. Thank god. They were still sitting right where I put them down I told myself don't forget these here josh And then I drove away and forgot them there So they were there now and Nobody questioned me wondering why I was taking them. I said I paid for them before and they remembered me. Thank goodness Otherwise they'd make me pay for them again What are you doing? Why are you stopping right in the middle of the road little lady? She still stopped there What in the world? But no, I'm not actually Always like this. I'm more of a quiet guy. Believe it or not if you meet me in person I think I keep most of this bottled up and then I just release it all to the camera Britt knows me like that. She knows me, but most people probably think I'm just this quiet guy in the corner I watch people right and before I become comfortable talking and hanging out with people I usually sit back and I watch them for a while I get to know what who they are what they're like what they'd what they like to talk about So that when I actually go and engage with them I have something to talk about with them and there's no awkward silence isn't right Right, so I was like, oh, this is probably something that they're into. This is what they're interested. Let's talk about this I I think it's just being observant. I observe first and then I go in for the for the talking When I'm on the camera, there's no one here There's you, but I don't see you you see me. I don't see you So I I guess I can just talk to you like we're best buddies I've been doing this for too long. I think Don't worry. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I think I rely on this. It's my fix It's the way I get my opinions and my ideas out to the world And I've made a lot of really good friends through my youtube channel Like all of my groomsmen at my wedding we're all from youtube, aren't I? Pretty sure A lot of my good friends I've made like I made a lot of new a lot of good friends without youtube But you know I've met a lot of people through this and And all of you find people out there that I haven't even met yet You're all fine great people as well Just haven't had the privilege of meeting you yet You know, I'm already feeling better that I picked up the flooring Because I know I'm getting stuff done now. I'm bringing it to the house That's one step getting one step done. It'll be at the house now. Now. I don't have to go get it later It's it's going to be there. I was going to go in to pick it up tomorrow But since I forgot that paint roller I had to go back today anyway She's a professional painter. She's done it for a living before she just had a baby So she'll bring her baby down. You can see the baby and she can Bless us with her skills of painting Because I'll do as much as I can myself But it'll just be nice having someone there that I know knows what they're doing And can do it quickly and efficiently and help us So that's really nice of them. Really nice. Maybe your fiancee Jared will come out as well He's an awesome guy to hang out with. He's an electrician I don't need any electric work done this time though, but I wouldn't mind a buddy to hang out with It's for sure On saturday, we're going out for brit's birthday. It's going to be rolling tubing down the river I'm taking you guys with because that's going to be fun And on sunday, we're going to see a swinging bridge with my family So we're going out with her family saturday my family sunday and then monday is back to work at the house And then so far I've made myself available for tuesday I might need to stretch that to wednesday or thursday depending on how long it takes to get this house done I want it done Completo finito fini No more No more work to be done. I'm tired of having a construction zone in our house And I've got the motivation now. It's time to put it to put it to use filming much Well, I've been at home, but I've been at home for a few days. We've been very busy. Yesterday. We went tubing Down the river in st. Molo. That was fun three times Today we're going to visit uh My parents campsite my family's getting together there And apparently we're going to go see some kind of swinging bridge or something This is a pressure washer we're borrowing from mom and dad to wash the outside of our house Because it needs it my truck too at the same time So I think we're about to go to the beach here I got a little uh a little tiny swimming pond here that we can all go to and hang out at I'm looking forward to it Okay Going to the beach so if you made it through that whole vlog you're a pretty hardcore trucker josh viewer I appreciate it. I did just a lot of talking in my truck in this one, but that's The way it turned out that's the way it was. I've had a lot of requests though for more home time footage and uh Not just from you guys from my family and my wife as well They're saying why don't you film at home anymore? Then I'm like, well, you know, I've been doing this for so many years Maybe you sort of just like a little bit of a a break for a little while You know, sometimes I get tired of you know, shoving the camera in people's faces and asking them to say something Do something funny do something exciting So I thought that maybe it was being a little bit inconvenient So whenever we got together as a family or with britt's family, I have sort of kept the camera away Because some people don't like to be on the camera and they've made that very clear to me as well So I got a little confused Some people absolutely want nothing to do with the camera or with their face being on internet or On the internet or or other things like that. They don't want to be a part of it and uh They've made that clear like I said, so I got a little confused Is it well, maybe it's best if I just don't film at home as much I just film on the road more and it doesn't bother anybody that way It's just me and diesel in here all the time But now everybody's telling me why don't you film at home anymore? Like we miss being a part of it So I'm going to start doing that more often Daily vlogs at home as well. I've sort of just been doing vlogs like this sort of like a collection of Moments from here and moments from there. I didn't want to show you the full renovation yet We did get it done, but it wasn't done by the time I left britt and her stepmom synthia Finished after I left It was a huge collective effort from ashley britt's cousin from my mom and dad From britt's stepmom and mom All of them helped us getting this project of ours done that we're working on right now and uh Turned out really well, but I couldn't include it in this vlog because it wasn't done Then yes the next time I go home. I'll give you the tour and uh I got to finish up a few little finishing touches by when I get home too, but Yeah, it was a lot of work, but It got done That's all I can tell you. I don't know what else to tell you. So yeah, uh The next video will be us going back on the road and next time I'm home I'll make more of an effort to include my home time in my storyline here on my vlog as well because that seems to be what everybody wants So I can't show everybody at home Not everybody in my life at home wants to be on youtube and that's totally up to them. That's uh It's totally cool. All they got to do is tell me they don't want to be a part of it and That's fine, but pretty much everybody else does so right diesel more home time videos From now on how about that? I'll see you guys tomorrow. Thanks for watching We'll get back to trucking in the next vlog
