 Good morning everybody, it's Monday. I did the unspeakable this weekend. And I'm gonna share it with you because I trust you to keep my secret. This weekend, I had Starbucks, a cup of coffee from Starbucks. And I liked it. It actually tasted like coffee. Just pulling into Tim's here now. I am seriously considering in the future possibly, I don't know, trying it again. It was kind of nice having coffee that tasted like coffee. Whereas at Tim's here, I always have to add an espresso shot into it just to make it taste a little bit like coffee. Because since Burger King bought it out, like on a corporate level, the coffee's been terrible. But we still keep coming because we love it, right? I don't know, habit? I don't know, maybe we're crazy. Can I get a large coffee with two cream and a shot of espresso please? That's it, thank you. The only problem is that Starbucks, the same coffee without the espresso shot, is 50 cents more. It's not too bad, right? But I'm in such a dilemma. I'm a loyal Tim Hortons man. Thank you. You too. I am a loyal Tim Hortons goer and a Canadian patron, which means I have to drink Tim Hortons, right? All right, I'm being overdramatic with this. I'm trying to be funny, but yeah, Starbucks. Okay, I'm taking you off the blacklist, all right? Your coffee's actually pretty good. Your coffee's actually pretty good. I can't believe I just said that out loud to all the people on the internet, but not bad, not bad. We'll see where the future takes us. For now, the future is taking us to our big truck. We got some truckin' to do today. You guys excited? I'm excited. No idea what's on the agenda yet. We're gonna go over there and get the truck warmed up. Let's see what they got for us. Our first week's assignment. Bring this old Massey Ferguson somewhere. Got a tire down first. Got that, got an old mower attached to that. Bobcat back here. Man, a little excavator. I could use this load. I could use this at my property. Love to have that for a weekend. And then that for another weekend. We've been having fun. Got everything chained down. And it's pulled it out of its spot to pull it out of its spot here to do the straps over the tires and whatnot. There she is. I could really use those two, especially that one on the end. I don't know where they're going yet. They're told me to tie it down and then come get the paperwork. So it's all tied down. Gonna put four straps, two of each tire there, and one strap over the mower here to keep that on the ground. Probably a strap over that excavator bucket. Just keep that from bouncing. The truck's warmed up now. I'll let it rest for a bit. Get some peace and quiet. So you'll notice what I do is I make an X pattern from the front to the back, from the back to the front. X pattern with two straps. I don't know how far this load's gonna go. We might be taking this thing just around the corner. I might be taking it a few hours down the road. Find out once I get to the office and get the paperwork. For now, I'm tying it down as if this thing's going across the continent. There's no such thing as too much load-securement, too many straps. There is such a thing as not enough. Everybody's sort of got their own way of doing things around the general securement tactics. I don't know what I'm trying to say here. There are certain regulations that we have to follow, but within those regulations, everyone sort of has their own little style of doing it. I thought I was trying to say. We'll have to follow, but there are more than one way, there is more than one way to tie down your freight. A lot of the time, sometimes it's just straightforward, one way to do it. Like when you're hauling lumber, you just put a strap over it and tie it down. That's pretty much the only way you can do it. Unless you want to be crazy and throw chains over there, that's probably gonna dig into the lumber though. People might not be happy with that one. Don't want to damage the freight. It's kind of tricky sometimes, tying down freight without damaging it. That is part of the job. You can't just tie it down and say you're done, you did a good job. No. In order to say you did your job, you have to tie it down according to regulation safely so that it's not gonna fall off with also not damaging the freight itself. I think that's the hardest part sometimes. I've got two drops out there. The bobcat and the excavator are going to one place and the big tractor and the tires are going to the next. They're rushing today. Rushing along, we got the two back ones off. We've got the mini excavator and the mini bobcat off. These two are going to a separate place on the west side of the city. That's not the one we had, but they take these in, they fix them up, and then they sell them. So I think those two came from Ontario. I'm pretty sure this Massey Ferguson came from Ontario as well. I'll have to double check the paperwork, but yeah, it's quick. I gotta go all the way up to Arbrook today yet, so rush, rush today. No wasting time. I got them untied or unsecured, unloaded, and had all my load, my chains, my straps put away nicely in 15 minutes. Now it's time to go. Arbrooks I need to deliver there. I can go back towards, takes me back to the perimeter anyway. But then snow, and look at this, we still have some snow on the ground. It snowed yesterday on Sunday. I didn't make a video on Sunday. I don't make videos often on Sundays. Sometimes I do, but not every Sunday. It's usually the day that I just rest and relax. It's supposed to get pretty warm this week, so this will all be gone in a couple of days. Manitoba, all directions, except we get no hurricanes. And no earthquakes, so there's that. At least we don't get those. Locked the entire road, he parked right there. He just left it there for a while while he ran inside there. Why wouldn't you park like over here where you could at least get out of the traffic? Release the brakes first, my friend. There you go, you figured it out. Trying to pull his trailer without releasing the brakes. What are you doing? It's a couple more days of sense in my opinion though. Don't park your rig in the middle of the road and run inside somewhere. We're just sort of going with it, whatever. I'm going here, he's coming here too. Okay, see, I had no idea. I think the batteries were dead, that's why. It started just fine once they got power to it and they had to give a little bit of a kickstart and let it boost for a while. As soon as she was turning over again, she fired up a little faithful. You think it will, everything. Pretty good day today. One real problem we had the real snag was we couldn't start that big ol' tractor. But after that, I mean, it was just another pick up in the city. Good supper, we'll do it all again tomorrow. Chevy, oh, thank you. Look as he bows to me as I come in. Yes, kiss the hand of your king. Yes, yes, you too, you too, you want some? Yes, yes. And can you sit? No? Can you sit? Oh, the weasel, he's so good. Such a good boy. Hey, Weiner, Frank, you wanna go outside? Where's the little guys, where's the little guys, Chevy? Weiner, Frank, come, let's go outside. Come on. They weren't just here. He's ready, he's ready. Come on, Weiner, come on, come on. Come on, in the yard. Get him. Get him. Get him, let's get my own stick. I don't like confrontation. I almost got rid of all the snow here already. You have a good day. What did you all do today? Lots of laundry and vacuuming and I bathed Weiner because he stunk, like an old man. Weiner had a bath. Then I had to bleach out the tub after. It was that bad? Well, when you bathe the dog, you should wash out the tub afterward. Weiner, you're dirty. Same one you use for humans. There he is. That's why he didn't wanna come out, he's embarrassed. Yeah. I'm not filthy, Weiner. He's pretty angry at me and he just slept all day. He was exhausted. It'd been a long time since he'd had a bath though. I think it'd been like over a year. I can't even remember last time I gave him a bath so it was time.
