 Manitoba that's north of Winnipeg up highway six We're about an hour and a half from the city or so a bunch of empty barrels In that trailer right there. I got to deliver that and then I think we're going home Haven't got that confirmation yet, but today when I'm filming this is American Thanksgiving So by the time you watch this happy belated Thanksgiving to our neighbors next door as you guys all know Canada has our Thanksgiving in October. So that's long over for us. So we're in full Christmas mode already Won't be anything open in the US for me to deliver there tonight yet and tomorrow We have a Christmas banquet for work. It's our Christmas party and I want to be there this year. I've missed so many years in the past I don't want to miss those anymore. So I got to be home for tomorrow, which means I'm probably not gonna go out today Probably gonna take this load deliver it and go home Have a little bit of a long weekend I'll enjoy some of this long weekend Thanksgiving stuff with you guys down in the States My feet is just filled up every American Thanksgiving My feet just gets filled up with all these Thanksgiving posts and I always wake up in the morning. I'm all confused as a But it's not Thanksgiving. Why is why am I getting oh? It's right the neighbors neighbors Thanksgiving today I'm gonna I'm releasing the video today of us setting up the Christmas tree I'm not doing that on purpose, but I think it's gonna be funny to read all the comments and all the reactions They really don't like it or My American friends anyway is there they don't want the Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving, right? That makes sense You got a decorate for Thanksgiving and then you take that down and you put Christmas stuff up But in Canada since our Thanksgiving is like a long time ago. We put up our Christmas tree earlier So I'm releasing the vlog in a little bit here of us setting up our Christmas tree I'm gonna release it on American Thanksgiving and see what the response is We're getting the juices moving warming her up. Look how dirty it is Disgusting right we'll fix that we'll fix that this weekend But Your truck's not dirty. Have you really been working? this time of year along with Springtime very messy because right now the temperature is above freezing, right? So some the snow is melting the roads are wet Plus they put salt down because the roads freeze at night So they have to salt the roads sand the roads, but it all melts during the day and then it just makes your truck just dirty dirty We have to get through this season though and we got to get through the cold spell The winter polar vortex Now once that's passed All the way downhill to the beautiful Valley of summertime Beaches Camping on fires barbecues Yeah, all right everybody Let's rock And let's roll Yeah Sunshine kind of driving straight into that ball of fire. I just got the pickup out of the shop Got the pressure washer outside. You can see the holes leading out there already I don't want to let all blue sit in here at all with all that salt on The frame. I don't think that's fair. It didn't ask to be driven in these You know in this climate with all the salt it didn't ask for that I put it through that. So it's up to me. It's my responsibility to make sure that I Maintain it and that I take care of it What am I going for over here? The bullsnot bar So we're gonna wash all the salt off and then we're gonna back it in here Let it dry off while I get all my stuff out of it Once all my stuff is out of it, hopefully it'll be Somewhat dry I can use a microfiber to dry off the doors if I if I have to I'm hoping that I'll have some time Tonight yet to take off that incorrectly spelt town name and put my new My new deck along the door if not today then Well soon I'm a busy man Sometimes it bothers me a little bit how busy I am But if you want to be successful in life, you can't be lazy you if you have a spare time and you're bored There's something wrong Honestly, I'm not trying to make you feel bad if you have nothing to do and you're sitting at home And you're wondering what to do Looking around twiddling your thumbs and bored. There is something wrong You need to find something productive to do with your time something that will bring you in Something in return There's always something to do Whether it be taking care of your assets like my truck It's a depreciating asset. So the money I spend into it. I'll never get back. It depreciates So the only thing I can do is maintain it and take care of it the best I can so that at least It doesn't depreciate as fast Hopefully and I can make it work for me as long as possible. You know, honestly, I don't ever want to buy a new truck I love this truck. This truck is everything I've ever wanted. I know it doesn't have a studio sleeper So I got to say it's everything I wanted minus the studio sleeper, but that's okay because for the work I'm doing right now. I'm so happy doing this regional work. I'm I Can honestly say I've never been so happy with my work The schedule I have I get to do what I love I get to go out there on the highway get my trucking bug out of me and still be home on a regular basis With my wife and my my baby that's coming. I want to be there as much as possible and This is a good balance. I think I mean we got ourselves a good shop right here. We need to wash this floor today though Look at this Winter time is a lot of work So going back to the the being bored thing if you are bored sitting at home Find something productive to do with your time. You shouldn't be bored. I wish I had the luxury of being bored That is a luxury If I was bored just for one day, I'd be a happy man, but there's always always work to do And you can't let that get you down. That's a good thing It's always work to do Like if I was bored today, you know what I would do if I had absolutely nothing to do all my videos were edited uploaded Truck was sparkling clean. You know loads were delivered Everything at home was taken care of host was taken care of wife was taken care of kids were taken care of and there was literally Nothing for me to do and I had the day to myself Let's say maybe the wife goes to visit the mother-in-law Or or something and I'm just stuck at home by myself nothing to do and literally have no work. You know what I would do This bike here needs to be dusted needs to be polished. It's been sitting in here That's something I could do this quad has been dirty for years. I haven't had the chance to wash it It's got a rebuilt motor needs new rims in the front and needs some work to it, right? I can work on that This tractor has a leak in the front tire there and a leak in the back tire back there I could take those tires off and take them to get repaired. That's something to do These chairs right here. We need to finish these off. We these were a gift from Brits dad. They're awesome. We have them on our Outside our house during the summer, but for the winter time I brought them in here. We need to Clean them off a little bit sand them down and seal them It's one two something to do, right? Let me take a look around It's a mess in here I've spent a lot of time cleaning up in here and it's still a mess if that's not enough to do and I finish all of that stuff I Need to organize that right there. Look at how messy that is. I don't like it that way. Okay. I'm not a messy guy I don't like it this way Garbage needs to be taken out that I got to do anyways, but all of this can be organized look this Come on Josh bare minimum man better, man. Okay, but I Could organize this I could definitely make that look a lot better, right? This is all of our storage for our house We have such a small house right now. We have nowhere to store that so it gets brought into the shop here There's not much more I can do to organize that but I can make it look better, right? I'm gonna look better. Maybe I could build some shelving in here if all of that was done Maybe I could build some shelving in here so we have more storage, right?

Do you want to be at this point? Maybe you want to be further along do the best and look at your competition Look how your competition is doing I have my shop here. There's other shops in this area here, right? Lots of truckers. We live in a trucking community Steinback is filled with truckers There's a guy here who washes his truck seriously every single time i'm here He's out there washing his truck and it makes me feel guilty because He washes his truck and keeps his truck cleaner than mine. He's my inspiration. I'm hoping I can be your inspiration My goal right now is to keep my truck cleaner than his Challenge myself All right, and if I fail that's okay His truck is always clean. It's hard. It's hard, but uh We're gonna try our best I'm gonna go wash down old blue and I'll talk to you in a bit It's nowhere near perfect and it's nowhere near done yet But it's better And I'm not settling for just oh, it's better. Don't don't worry. I'm going home right now though But I'm not settling we're gonna come back and polish this up a little bit more Let's see I should be able to see myself in those rims I'm sort of see myself in the center there. See I should be able to see myself in there too So I gotta wipe them down a little bit better call it up a little bit better The tank is not completely clean here yet But better right the salt is off the frame salts off the truck and It's wintertime. What can you do it? It's really hard to keep things clean in this time this time of year
