 Well I'm pretty silly. I wouldn't have picked up my trailer. It's a roll-tag Conestoga I'll show you it it's dark outside already and there's a story behind that. We're just starting our day trip here I wouldn't got it all Ready to go. You know, I'm gonna start my vlog and be like hey. Good morning everybody. Hey, good day everybody Couldn't find my camera Couldn't find it searched the whole truck all some like I wonder if I left it in the shop So on my way down, I swung by my shop, which luckily it's not too far out of the way. It's just a little little little sidestep Came to the shop here and no kidding you guys are sitting on the coach You guys are supposed to be with me. You can't just sit on the coach the whole trip I'm gonna vlog if you're sitting on the coach in my shop So we're starting the day now. We're hooked up Everything's tied down. Everything's ready to go Just gonna jump in the truck and go now. We're cleared for the border We're gonna be going down Interstate 90 29 to Interstate 94 from Interstate 94 We'll start headed east all the way down through Minnesota through Wisconsin Dip into Illinois and then we're gonna go straight down 39 To the 80 take the 80 across. I believe it's that Rochelle, Illinois Take that across and then start a journey east towards I Haven't told you yet. Have I? Realized that maybe I should wait Now you deserve to know we used to know where we're going We have two drops. Our first drop is in Cranford, New Jersey Our second drop is in Haupua New York, I don't think that's how you pronounce it We had two drops one in New Jersey one in New York State pretty close to New York City But not in New York City. Thank God. I wouldn't want to go in there Kudos to those of you who do drive trucks into the city of New York. That's crazy That's where we're headed so let's Let's get out there. Let's get to it We made it to Fargo And it's but 11 o'clock at night I think that I'm just gonna get into Minnesota. I'll probably go to Roth State, Minnesota It's off that a little truck stop there that we often stop at Call it a night I'm trying to get to St. Cloud, Minnesota tomorrow to grab the fuel, but I'm just about quarter tanks right now hours drive from here So we'll see how we feel in the morning. It's pretty warm out right now. It's at about 32 Fahrenheit Zero Celsius. I'm not too worried about sleeping with Lower fuel in my tanks. It's not kind of gel overnight. It'll be fine See if I can get to St. Cloud The fuel there is considerably cheaper again than everywhere else. I'm just trying to get to my resting place in Roth State Shut her down and go close my eyes Here we are in Roth State, Minnesota beautiful night out almost a full moon Lots of space here There's the roll type. This is the first time you've seen it, right? Oh Beginning of this day got all kind of messed up for me It's a happy trailer It's got a happy face one on each side and it's also got a happy face on the back I can't show you right now because there's a big puddle back here I'm gonna wash it tomorrow Gonna look all nice Take real good care of it. I'm pretty tired though. I'm gonna go to bed. Oh So it's the first night on the road, so Let's get you guys sitting here straight first of all First night on the road, so I then I organized everything back there I had a sort of just threw it all in here. Can't believe I forgot my GoPro at the shop The one thing I definitely need on a trip to New York I want to be able to share this journey with you guys. I have my Sony a7c here that I could film with it just it doesn't have the same I use both cameras for different things It doesn't have the same capabilities and flexibility of a of a GoPro like this Yes, I can like Mount anywhere put anywhere. It gives a good wide angle shot for a road shot I can mount it to my head. I can mount it to the dash This camera here is a little bit harder to mount. I'm not sure if you can see it Gives a much wider angle Shot there, right? This camera does pretty good too because I have a Tamron Lens on here which widens it as well But as I stabilize it, I think I've told you before it crops the shot quite a bit on that camera And this one has built-in stabilization and I don't lose anything. I Guess you camera guys would understand what I'm talking about. I'm really tired So thanks for watching today everybody. I appreciate it. I'm not sure how this vlog turned out I had a bunch of home time footage and then we got a little bit of Footage here getting going on the road. I don't know if I combined it all into one vlog or if I made two out of it I hope you enjoyed it.

Oh I'm rambling because I'm tired I see a truck coming in here with a reefer owner if he's gonna park beside me Now if he does it's okay. I can sleep with noise beside me If I have a choice I try to park in a quiet spot where I don't have noise beside me That is preferable And there he comes What do you guys think is he gonna pull in right beside me? I Purposely parked here where there's no one beside me on either side or if he's gonna Oh, and I could see his reefer there set to 34 Fahrenheit and the light is on which means that the reefer is is running Sorry, hey focus here camera focus help me out. Help me is don't focus on the dirty window silly Okay, no. Oh, he's going further over there Good choice Good choice Oh, he's turning he's turning yeah, he's gonna back in over there Nice Score score one for truck to Josh It's one thing about this camera. It has excellent low-light quality Excellent, you'll notice when I'm filming on my GoPro at night because the the lighting is much worse I'm gonna have this thing on. Oh, I'm sorry when I'm when I'm using this camera Right away as you can see like look at the crispness Everything in here right? See the difference of this shot right now to my GoPro check this out. This is the Sony and This is the GoPro See my camera. I'm holding this other camera right here. This is my my Sony Can you see it? See it's got the big microphone up on top Still no see Big difference But this camera is so much more agile and I can use it so much in so many more places for so many more things And it's so much easier just to pick this up and vlog with it as opposed to picking this thing up and blogging with this thing But either way, I really enjoy putting these things together and you know, I'm humbled and honored that All of you who've decided to tag along with me and subscribe.
