 Actually got to turn the heat on in the morning now That's only 11 degrees Celsius, it's not even that cold yet That always gets me you get so used to the warm weather and then it gets a little bit chillier and you're like Oh, I'm dying and then in wintertime. It's minus 50 and then you get down to like minus 20 or something You're like ho is hot t-shirt weather Welcome to Manitoba So I have to do my rounds every morning make sure everything's off make sure the coffee maker's off Make sure everything's locked make sure nothing's on that shouldn't be on And then double-check it and sometimes triple-check it and then I can go so we're on our way to work We're already hooked up to our goose snack if you remember we're headed up to point de bois to pick up a big crate All right, we're here We got everything pretty much everything ready yesterday already before we left We're all hooked up Ready to go Like I was telling you yesterday, this is my first day out with this thing on my own Not really nervous about it. It's pretty straightforward. It's a trailer You you pull it with that And it comes with I think I got this So this is a removable goose neck RGN trailer this thing the way you load this thing with like a big tractor Let's say you see there's like little ramps right here. You remove this whole thing that stays on the truck Move that thing and this thing gets set on the ground and then you Drive right up on there, but I'm not picking up any equipment today I'm just picking up a giant crate now. These are our step decks here The crate I'm picking up is obviously too high to be put on these and if you look at this one See how that deck sits a lot lower I'm guessing it's a really high crate. We would be over height on a regular step deck Gonna need a little bit of a lower deck and that's why I'm taking this today. That's just what I'm assuming I don't even know what I'm picking up. They didn't tell me much. They said Go pick up a big crate and some smaller boxes. I'm like I'm trucker Josh. I'm your man I'll do it Okay, we'll figure it out. So we got a whole bunch of dunnage. Oh a little bit of dunnage on here tied down already and Let's get to it. Let's get my stuff in the truck. Let's get her warmed up Let's start headed up to Point Dubois. It's about two hours northeast of where I'm at right now So it would be that way towards the rising Sun and a little to the north is that is east That way it's into the bush Our goose friends and our duck friends Are still gone So sad They probably left for Mexico already Lucky buggers So this trailer is oversized just on its own. I can fit in my lane just fine so it's not like it's excessively dangerous or anything but It is a wider trailer than a normal trailer so I'm not sure if The crate that picking up is wide Or if it's high, I'm assuming it's high because even if it was wide I could put it on a regular step deck, but they sent me with the RGN, which is a low bed trailer So that tells me that whatever crate I'm picking up. It must be high whatever it is. I'm ready for it Bring it on We're going around Winnipeg right now That's Winnipeg off to our left for going around the east side and then we'll be headed up Towards Pointe de Bois, which is that way like I said into the bush. It's up there in cottage country A lot of lakes and cottages and Stuff like that up there It's close to getting closer to Ontario. It's still well into Manitoba But it's more so the Northern Ontario terrain type thing if you're wondering you'll see you'll see Everyone's got to have permits on their vehicle Provincial Park permits I don't know maybe the town's not part of that. There's a sign over there big sign Danger, thin ice. You don't say there in summertime That's really wait, no I've been here before cuz I remember that big old building there. I've been there before I think I delivered Pepsi here once It looks like there's a big hydro dam over there the hydroelectric dam. Well, there's a school. I Think that's a school on G. Glasgow school My school never had a pool Pulled on look like it's filled up, but whoo Things got some age to it Wait a second. Wait a second. I think this is where I got a I think my crates is around here somewhere according to my GPS I went right past it. So that wasn't the school anymore then Okay, I'm gonna turn in here and get off this main road got to be a big crater on here somewhere I'm probably picking up something from that hydroelectric dam. I bet that seems to be the only big I'm gonna pull in here make some phone calls and You know, it's not a very big town. So it's got to be close by here somewhere At least here. I'll be out of the way. I'm gonna make some phone calls. I'm gonna figure out what we're doing So we're just parked here on the side of the road Just around the corner from where I parked before there's those buildings over there It was just the next road down Sometimes it's hard to believe that all of this beautiful scenery is in the same province that I live in because I live in a very flat agricultural part of the province Manitoba has many different regions Population is not that high though. So you don't hear about us much Most of the population lives, you know in the kind of region that I live in flat agricultural Not as many people live up here in the bush by the lakes This is where people come to get away from civilization They come here to Enjoy their cabins on the weekends and summer and stuff and in the wintertime they come up here for snowmobiling But once they're ready for me I'm gonna be loading right down there around the corner for now. I'm just gonna wait right here and Wait for them to come get me. At least they know I'm here and when I got here, I had no idea Where to go what I was doing didn't have much information to go on Not that there's a lot going on here. This actually isn't a school. It's the hydroelectric That bought out the school. They transformed it into an office building for them now. So it's not actually a school Though it is pretty cool that they have a pool outside there obviously isn't being used but That was in charge out here. I definitely put that to use. I'd love to go swimming in my lunch hour Yeah, there's a electric dam right here And while I was in there talking to the guy actually looked at a map Of all the electric hydro dams In Manitoba and it's northern Northwestern, Ontario and into Minnesota around here. I guess that they all manage Lots of them a lot more than I thought You can hear the water rushing. I don't know if you can hear it on the camera or not Maybe if I shut my big mouth Right over there. This is one of the many hydro dams that's supplying power to our whole province And we also sell a lot of our electricity to the state of Minnesota in the US From what I hear we sell it to them at quite a good deal I don't know if it's true or not. It might just be a rumor, but People are saying that they actually buy our hydro for cheaper than what we buy our own hydro from and if that's true That's not really cool, but Oh just ate a mosquito You want to see him? He died for his efforts to Welcome to Manitoba. It's our national bird the mosquito But yeah, if it is true that they're getting a better deal on our electricity than we are I wouldn't be I Want to believe that's not true, but someone told me that once and really? All right, you guys know anything about that. Let me know down below in the comments Don't believe everything you hear or read on the internet soon. I'm not too sure of the facts These bugs really like me now though. Yikes Apparently one just about got eaten now. They all want you so we didn't quite need the RGN today, but We got eight crates And we pretty much could have fit that on a On a flat bed, I think but we were told to bring the RGN. So here we are with the RGN Now this is beautiful Manitoba when you think of Manitoba, this is what you should think of This is eastern Manitoba southeastern Manitoba If you go further west, it's all agricultural all just flatlands. That's boring out there This is the exciting part of the province. See we're not all just flat We're not all flat land There is so much wilderness in Canada. That's that's one thing I love about this country. I Love all this, but it's so much untouched Almost what you could say unclaimed it's obviously claimed it belongs to the crown, but It's just untouched wilderness pretty much from here north all the way through the territories with Little bit of civilization here and there with long highways connecting civilizations and we're all under the same crown we're all the Same country. We're a constitutional monarchy. We are directly connected to the British Commonwealth So we are brothers and sisters with our friends down south down under in Australia. We share the same Queen Queen Elizabeth the second is Queen of Canada. She is our head of state So our friends down to the south of us in the United States They have a constitutional Republic Here in Canada, we have a constitutional monarchy Pretty much what that means is in the US their head of state is their president and they vote on their head of state every four years in Canada Our head of state is the crown Currently Queen Elizabeth the second is sitting under the crown She has it on well, she doesn't really wear it on her head much, but you get what I mean She is Queen of Canada So we're very closely tied to the British Commonwealth the UK and Australia are our brothers and sisters However, we do have independent government Governance and independent passports so I can't just move to Australia and work though There has been talks about a kanzik alliance alliance which I'm kind of a fan of Where there'd be alliance and free movement of people between the UK Australia and Canada So I could just you know up and move to Australia to go and work there No paperwork Just as if we're the same Commonwealth same country right just little to no paperwork I could go to the UK or they could come here I think an alliance like that would be pretty cool, but currently that's you still need a passport to go between Commonwealth nations We do vote on our government that makes our legislation here in Canada So we vote on our Prime Minister and his party and they create the laws under the authority of the crown and The Queen the Queen has a governor general in our government Who is the physical representation of the Queen when she is absent? And it's a Canadian citizen the governor general I forget we just got a new one But they're a point as far as I know and the Queen has full right to veto anything She wants you at any time she just hasn't and she took long live the Queen seriously She's the longest reigning monarch. She was Queen. She has been Queen longer than my mom and dad have been alive But we do vote on our governments that make our laws here. Yes, but our head of state remains consistent This bridge used to be a lot narrower You used to have to wait on one end for traffic to come through is like one lane wire just wider than one lane Two vehicles couldn't meet on it Now you got a pedestrian bridge and everything here Very fancy All these cottages over here man a lot of people with a little bit more money than me Not a lot of people. There's a couple of famous NHL players that have their cottages on the lakes here Man, are they nice? There we go. Oh, I can close this again. I had to keep this open before to Keep access to the motor that again There we go. Now we have to tie down all of these things yet before we leave That'll be that roll up the rest of these straps You get to go like that since they've Since they've opened the border to US travelers coming north I've seen several US plates, but they usually Minnesota or North Dakota because those are our neighbors Right next door to us Idaho that's quite a that's like south of Alberta Jump in the pickup And rush home for my rock star. So it was a good day. I'm gonna detach from it here leave it right here Gotta grab some of my things off of it yet My sign at the back here Now in Canada you can use that D sign that's underneath this but if you have a D sign on the back You've got to put a D sign on the front and I don't have a D sign for the front So my solution I had two oversize load signs So I put one on the front of the truck and I covered this one up and so this one says oversize load now they match Apparently MOT, which is our DOT out here is very picky and very symmetrical. They they like everything to match And if it doesn't match The front in the back $300 fine That's what I heard. It's never happened to me but I kind of like that because I'm I like things to be symmetrical myself, but They mean the same thing But they have to match it's not that I got all the bungees off it here That's what I mean the D D stands for danger But if you got the D on the back you got to have the D on the front And as you can see I didn't have a D for the front so I had to make them match anyway It's the same thing D is just Canadian for oversize load watch out. I'm kind of bigger than normal get out of my way a This thing has no landing gear on it Just sits on the ground But you don't want to put it all the way down on the ground because that will be too low for the next guy to hook on then it'll drop off your fifth wheel and Good luck. You're gonna have to find a big tractor to or a crane to lift it back up for you or I'm sure there's other ways of doing it, but It's it's a headache. So you don't want to drop it all the way down to the ground when you're putting it in the parking spot So it's a little bit involved You got to start the motor now where we have it set here on those blocks It's a perfect height for the fifth wheel For the next person who hooks on as long as their fifth wheels about the same height as mine At least it's not sitting so low. So now I know That's where it's got to sit That's it. That's all Oh, yeah, I left this bulb in here to remind me to buy a bulb. Huh tomorrow Not today today. We have got stuff to do. I Have a Pepsi zero waiting for me at home in the fridge So exciting Yeah, I want to go home See my boys get my rock star welcome So we had a successful day pulling the RGN No incidents Just saying behind that door Is my rock star welcome I'm pretty sure of it. Anyways Yep. Yep, definitely a rock star welcome waiting in there. Okay. You guys ready? Get my phone in my pocket. I don't want to drop that. Okay. Oh, okay I'm ready.
