 Hello everyone, I'm trucker Al from Rochester, New York, and when I'm not driving I'm watching Trucker Josh on TJV and you should, too, be safe on that. So it's coming. I see your comments, people getting tired of me talking about it already. Well, surprise, surprise, Trucker Josh is getting another coffee. I know, I like coffee, but I don't know, I want to be in this, I want to be in this aisle, choose this aisle. Changed my mind. One of those one. Reserved the right to change my mind at any time. So how are you guys all doing? It's another new day. You excited? On our way to Calgary. Another three hours. Taking the more southern route into the city of Calgary. Bring us closer to the flying jay where we're gonna spend the night. We'll be there at about 5 p.m. and about a half hour. Hold until, well you give her buddy, you give her, you give her, soccer mom. I have a reload. I'm picking up in Calgary after that and that's taking us back home up north onto the ice roads. But I'm not going to be taking that. Those are other drivers that will go up there. I don't do the northern ice roads. I'm sure if I ask they'd probably send me up there, but I'm not really interested in it. Unless if they specifically asked me to and need me to. I'm not gonna volunteer though. It's very hard on your equipment. Very difficult to get up there. Damages your truck. It could damage your trucks. I mean, if I want to risk it. I've never been up there. So It's just not something that interests me. I'd rather go down to the US. It's warmer down there. And they got better roads, actual roads, better made with pavement and not with ice. It's coming from. I could see those little stacks, all those clouds up there, whatever that is. Exhaust. I could see that for miles. I could see it for the last hour and a half already. Finally got to what it's causing. There's another one over there off to the right. I think that's coming from the city of Calgary. Probably refineries or something. This is Alberta after all, right? It doesn't look like it's going as high from here. But man, we can see that for a long time. It should be in Calgary soon. It's right. My sister was born here. My second oldest sister. There's three of us. I have two sisters that are older. The middle one. The middle child, she was born here. Dad lived here for a few years before I was born. Before returning back to the promised land of Manitoba. My wife, my kids, are gonna be, most of my wife is, my kids are gonna be when we have our kids. I tried living in Winnipeg for a while. It wasn't my thing. Winnipeg's not like every other city though. Winnipeg is like the crime capital of Canada, doesn't it? You've got to be careful when you're there. I mean, it's still a shining city on the hill compared to, like, some areas of Chicago and stuff. But, I don't know if you could tell or not. I've never been stabbed or shot. And I lived in Winnipeg for a few years. So I survived just fine. It's just a certain area that you want to avoid and avoid at night. Pretty nice place to live compared to some areas. There we go. So we're gonna go around the corner here. You've got Honda off to the right here. You've got the deer foot in, Casino off to the left over there. Right here you can see Flying J. All the trucks there. And there should be plenty of parking for us because it's still early. It's only like 5pm. Let's go in there. Let's get a nice, beautiful, safe parking spot where we won't get backed into. That's why I like stopping early. You have your pick. You can pick the safest ones. My biggest fear of parking at a truck stop. Karen, I already told them that. Do I have my own lane here? I do. Yes, I do. Okay. But I need to take some of this lane. There you go. Get my trailer around the curb there. In front of me. How did he know? I don't think he's supposed to do that. She's gonna announce our arrival. Sound the trumpets, Karen. Come on, Karen. Where's my trumpets? Announce my arrival. On the right side, 11511 40. Straight. Very nice. Very nice. No trumpets. I'll forgive you this time. You'll learn. Okay, so, uh, oh, I need to wash this windshield. Yikes. I'm gonna wipe that down. That's on the inside. So, yeah, like I was saying, my biggest fear of parking at these big truck stops is other people backing into me. It freaks me out. So, I try to find spots I can back into like this where people beside me would have a pretty easy time backing in, you know. I'll loop around a lot. There's plenty of space here. Plenty of space. I don't think there's a spot right here in the back corner, too. I think I saw one here. Yep. Very nice. Very nice. That is the safest spot you will find. You want to come up here? You want to come up here? Help me edit? Come up here? Come on, bud. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, plenty of room. Plenty of room. I don't need my own space to breathe. No, we can share the oxygen. Yeah. Wonderful. You're such a good boy. Look at him. Look at him. I am the Lord of all the weasels and the woosels. That would make me the king. You're the Lord of the weasels. And the woosels, apparently. That's a new one. That's a new one. I didn't know this. Yeah, man. Kind of a new thing. I was anointed recently. Who anointed you? I'm the king. I do the anointing. That's okay, though. That's okay. I do grant you lordship over the woosels. I'm not too sure what those are yet, but I'm sure you will introduce me to one one day, right? You're just going to hang out here? Can you help me edit? We got our whole editing thing set up here right now. You're a good boy. So, yeah, we found a parking spot. We actually didn't take that one in the back. We parked a little closer to the front, hooked into the Wi-Fi here, and we got a great signal. Oh, thank you. Okay, you can just lie on me. I don't... That's cool. Yep. Good boy. I've got a great Wi-Fi signal, so I'm uploading a few vlogs for you guys, so... Thank you, Pilot Flying J, for your awesome Wi-Fi. You know, the Wi-Fi wasn't working at the last Flying J. I was at Minot. Look into that, guys. Terrible Wi-Fi there, but here in Calgary at the Flying J. Decent. Decent. So thank you, everybody, for watching. I hope you enjoy the videos. It's a little shorter than usual, but it does take a little more time to put these together because I'm trying new things, and, you know, I talked about it at the end of yesterday's vlog. There should be videos popping up around my head here. One will be to yesterday's video if you missed it, and the next will be to another one on my channel that I've made over the past years, and the center one with me and the cowboy hat there, if that's what my profile picture still is. You click that, and it will bring you to the Subscribe page so you can subscribe so you don't miss a video. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
