 Good morning everybody. I just went down the road to get my coffee from Pilot. I bought a coffee from the Southern Pride truck stop that I slept at. I'm on Mount Caron. I got a coffee from Southern Pride but it was coffee flavored water. So I'm stopping in here for a real coffee on that will actually wake me up and not just put the coffee taste in my mouth hoping I can just park in front of the pumps here somewhere got going nice and early today it felt good here we go yeah we started our day around 6 a.m. I'm gonna grab fuel later in the day let's eat some coffee now got that bean the cups got a little bit more of an I like a good kick in the morning kick right in the pants wake me up you know I mean I can't stand weak coffee I want this thing start I left it in gear that's smart there you are my girl okay so yeah I can't stand weak coffee it's one of my pet peeves and what a waste of time and money you know excited for a coffee and then you sip it you're like that's water anyways let's get on the road we got a long day ahead of us see how far we can get we're all heavy that thing is we should be done around 6 o'clock I think it's 2 20 right now around 6 30 and be ready to go at 4 30 tomorrow morning I'm gonna get going nice and early so I can get home eight hours to drive tomorrow yet so four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirty we should get back around 12 thirty one o'clock add a couple extra hours in there for breaks and stuff to three o'clock I should be home before supper home for most of Saturday but Saturday evening I've got to go this load is supposed to be or it has to be in Oka talks Alberta just south of Calgary Monday morning now instead of Tuesday because this truck needs to be safe deep and I need to get back to the shop to get its safety every year the truck has to go in for a safety inspection and it's time Monday morning and coming straight back and then I'll probably have quite a few days off at home because I got to be home for the next week and I might end up being home for a week again we'll see hopefully I can do a few things in between and not be gone that I mean home for so long but I can't complain I've been going for a while I wouldn't mind be at home for a week I know my bank would disagree with me but this truck needs a safety take advantage of that because now has some extra time at home during the summer months lot to get done at home still there's a lot to get done I want to build a dog run in our backyard mostly for the little guys but also for the big guys as well when the dogs are outside you got to be very careful you got to watch them very closely we let them outside as much as we can we like to spend as much time outdoors as we can especially this time of year because the weather's nice and the dogs need to be outside run around stretch their legs you know so when they are outside you got to be very careful watching like a hawk because if they see a squirrel they're gone just like this guy's the squirrel hunter 2000 right here this guy's a machine he sees a squirrel and he's gone that's how I know where to find them but if you're not watching him you have no idea which direction he took off in you know I don't know what he chased off either maybe maybe he's chasing a bear through the woods you know maybe he's chasing a cougar and in those cases I got to be worried because I don't want my dogs chasing those animals because those animals will fight back and kill them I also got to worry about you know wolves or coyotes luring our dogs off into the bush where they'll kill them as well what they'll do is they'll send one member of the pack out into the open and it'll they'll lure your dog into the bush right he'll he'll pop out of the bush and your dog will be like ooh a friend right and go and rush off to meet him the wolf will slip back into the woods and your dog follows him into the woods to go play and then he gets surrounded by the rest of the pack and then they they surround him and they kill him that's that's how they they'll kill your dog also how they can kill small humans children and stuff so you got to watch out like we don't have kids yet but when you do if you see an unfamiliar dog in the yard don't follow it into the woods but uh with the little dogs we have to worry about even more like weiner the little guy and you know in frankie the big big frank you got to worry about eagles and hawks coming down and picking them up like they've there's been reports of like weiner dogs being picked up by eagles and carried away and you know drops from the sky or brought back to their nest or whatever they do with them what are you telling me to do here okay yeah stay on i39 okay i thought she was telling me to leave the freeway like why staying on the freeway i know where i am now we're uh coming up to the border with wisconsin we're in rockford Illinois here so i want to build the dog run for the dogs just to keep them safe from wandering off getting lost or eaten so i gotta do that i've also got to clear out uh or not clear out clean up the door the whole situation with the door that we installed last time i was home i got to finish that all up i gotta get the dry wall up got to tape it putty it seal well it's already sealed off got to trim it all through the outside finish that all up and then we also got our pump for our pond which i can either pump the water out of the pond first which i might do and then clear out the bottom of the pond and then pump the water back in from the creek or i'll just pump it straight i don't know we'll see the pump is there anyways so i can start working on that so if i am home for a week yeah my bank account's gonna hurt it's gonna be uh it's not gonna like it that much but it is what it is this truck needs to go in for a safety uh brit and i are also still working on our fertility uh no good news to report to you yet we're still trying to have our first and uh you know we'll get there eventually but throughout the whole virus thing all our fertility clinic shut down so i think they're just starting to reopen are they reopened last month or this month they're reopen anyways so now we got to get back on the monthly fertility appointments so i gotta be home for that as well so if they do leave me at home for a week yet make things a little tight this month but there's no lack of things to get done at home there'll be lots of videos from at home then because lots of chores to do including the lawn i can't wait to mow the lawn i'm looking forward to getting home to mow the lawn get on that new tractor and mowing it again i actually look forward to it now well i always look forward to mowing the lawn let's not jump around like it's i love mowing lawn but now it's extra fun and so easy so we'll see what happens uh we'll be home tomorrow sometime during the day probably in the afternoon we are coming to the end of our day we got seven minutes to park and two miles till our exit and it's only 6 30 well i call this the afternoon i guess 6 30 in the evening so there's no way there won't be parking there so we'll shut down at 6 30 we'll be able to start our day tomorrow at 4 30 in the morning before the good lord himself even gets out of bed at that ungodly hour all right diesel we'll get ourselves going and i think we got another eight hours home what ozio is it oseo or is

before at least i don't think so maybe i'll recognize it once i get there i picked this place uh it's not uh a major stop we got six minutes i picked this place because it was at the perfect spot to match with my logbook but it's not like one of those big chain truck stops or anything it's not a pilot or a flying jay or a loves or tia or anything i think it's a bp it's just like a private small private it's like a small us 10 small travel plaza there's a big cow up there diesel you see that you love cows i love cows too especially when they're on my plate mmm delicious moe's diner hilltop road event turn right in 120 meters moe's diner isn't that from the simpsons their slogan was almost world famous well now your world famous i broadcast you around the world moe's diner in wisconsin oseo oseo oseo oh it's actually not the bp it's beside the bp okay well oh it looks like there's a lot of trucks here already nice oh we're gonna go park in the back somewhere oh there's lots of room in the back there uh yeah we'll be just fine wait i think there's a car coming yep i'm right yep there's a car oh and he wants to turn this way of course i could have gone now there's a pickup coming maybe not yep there he is no he's turning okay well let's go see what they got back here anybody order a tiny house make a u-turn if possible again oh quiet destination on the left side quiet quiet quiet quiet oh this is pot whole city all right another one of these that's okay that means it'll be quieter here tonight than the regular truck stops we'll be at all that space back there yet oh look at that let's go back here let's see what's back here i've never been here before huh i have three minutes okay we're gonna have to park pretty quick see i'd park back here but i don't know if this is all going to get blocked off in the morning or not you know how drivers are 150 meters i'd love to park back here be perfect don't know if i can trust these people up here because they've already parked like right in the middle of everything and park over here turn right on quiet care turn left in 120 meters well diesel we had to run to the other side of the parking lot real quick before a clock ran out but i saw this guy backing in here mr diamond driver whatever that means but he parked first that means i don't have to worry about him backing into me so he parked and then i moved up parked beside him i think there's room for another guy to park beside me here yet on that side but at least he can pull forward and it'll be an easy easy park for them so as long as nobody blocks me in tonight i'll be able to leave 4 30 in the morning and that'll be that it's been a crazy day just it went by so fast because we were just driving the whole day like it was a long day 1,061
