 I think we're ready to rock and roll. Morning guys, we're in Nipagon, Ontario. Nipagon, just, what is it? West, east, just east of Thunder Bay. I always get my, this is early. I just finished my pre-trip. I grabbed my coffee from inside the petrol pass where we stopped for the night. Got some breakfast and I am ready to hit the road. We've still got a long way to go. We didn't get as far yesterday as we wanted to. I wanted to get another two hours down the road yet. Didn't happen because we had to deal with that snowstorm. Snowstorm, yes, you heard that right. Welcome to Canada. You get free healthcare, but you also have to deal with the weather. That's the flip side. Small price to pay, I guess. So, let's get going. Here we go. It's official, we're moving. It's going to be a good day. You can feel it. That sunshine just screams at you. It's going to be a great day. I'm just so glad to be out of that snowstorm. That made me so miserable yesterday. I couldn't believe I was dealing with another snowstorm. I mean, you're watching this in May already, I believe, but that was like right at the end of April. That's not right. Not even for Canada. Not even for Southern Canada here. That's not right. I know we're in Northern Ontario, but it's still the Southern part of Canada. It's just the way we label things, I guess. But, no, that's not normal. No, it happens. It does. It's not uncommon, but it's still not normal. Or I shouldn't say it's not uncommon. It's not common, is what I meant to say. Turn right on 11. It is what it is, whatever. You know, I bet you if we taxed ourselves, that snowstorm wouldn't have happened. We should have just taxed ourselves sooner. That one time where we had to stop for a 24-hour rest break because we had worked too much in the last two weeks. Here we are. Don't have to stay here today, though, at least. I wanna be in Edmonton tomorrow night. Still 2100 kilometers away. It's a long way to go yet. What is that, like 1500 miles or so? Prius, a utility trailer with a lawnmower on it. It was a pretty big mower, it was a riding mower. And the back bumper of the Prius was just about dragging on the ground. I didn't even know you could pull things with a Prius. What's the tow capacity of a Toyota Prius? Into this husky here with the big Canada flag waving around here on our right. Of the day, Numero due. Dose, I think that's how you say it. And so I don't know any Spanish. Gracias, that's my Spanish. Hola. Right here. Oh, these pottles. They still haven't fixed these pottles. Ay, yay. Right through here, the needle through these pumps go find a parking spot in the back and take a little bit of a break. I'm not in the U.S., so again, I don't have to take my half hour break. I can just stop for as long as I feel I need. Probably about 20 minutes or so. This is a usual stop for me. There aren't that many stops going through Northern Ontario. I mean, there's enough if you know where they are, but there's not many. So usually pick the favorite ones you like to stop at and my, this pothole back here, really? This has gotten worse. Okay. Okay, all right. I wasn't gonna sneak in there, but that guy parked in there and took up two spots. Come on, people, take up one spot. If you're taking up two, just take the 30 seconds to straighten out so that you're only taking up one. Really isn't that difficult, I promise. And today so far has been uneventful, which is perfect, that's exactly what we want. Oops, that was sloppy. Just put coffee all over myself. All right, Deezie, you ready to get out of here or what? You ready? You're in your spot? Good boy. All right. I wanna stop in Headingley. Just on the other side of Winnipeg at the Flying J there. See what my time clock looks like when I get there. It looks good now. I should be able to stop there and have a shower. I do believe so. Winnipeg is about 300 kilometers, a little over from here. It's a little over three hours to get there. Probably with three and a half by the time we get to the perimeter there. Going a lot better than yesterday. And almost any day is better than yesterday. Have I mentioned that yet? Yesterday was not a good day. You know, I'm not against snow. I don't mind snow. I just don't like it when it's on the road. And I don't like snow in April. That's just not right. Especially at the end of April. It's almost May. No, that makes me upset. That is not right. And we're finally cross the provincial border into Manitoba. Look at this glorious flat land. No more hills to climb. Steady, smooth driving. Four lane divided. You can't even see the other direction. It's on the other side there off to the left. This is beautiful. No more two lane highways. It's always so nice to get out of Ontario when you've been in Northern Ontario for two days. Start to appreciate the big wide open flat lands a lot more. At least I do. So we still have 1500 kilometers to go. Probably about 900 miles. Not today. Today I have about four, four and a half hours. Yeah, just between four and four and a half hours. Left for me to drive. I'm hoping to be able to make it to Brandon. That's on the west side of Manitoba. Southwest, we just entered the southeast. This is my home region. If I can make it over to a round brand and that would make me happy. Then we can do the rest tomorrow. One more day of driving and we're there. A four day drive pulling these cement drums. And that's not even going across the whole country. That's only going across sort of the middle part. There's half of it. Big place out here. Well, we're still trucking along on the other side of Winnipeg now, flying J's just ahead of us here on the left. This is heading Lee, Manitoba. Pretty much Winnipeg west in my mind, but same thing. Same thing, different side of the highway. So hopefully they'll have some showers available for us. I'm kind of doubtful. It's 9.20 right now here in the evening. The showers are probably all busy, but I'm gonna pull in here and check. I'm not gonna fuel here. Diesel fuel here is $1.29 per liter, but I checked in Balgony, Saskatchewan, Balgony Balony, that it's $1.269 per liter there. So, save money by fueling there and I don't need to fuel here, so I can bet you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go and give my money to the people who want less of it. So since I wanna shower here, I'm not going to park in the pumps. I'm not gonna park in front of the pumps. I'm gonna go find a parking spot where I'm out of the way and walk inside. Actually, I can reserve a shower from inside my truck using the app. Have you guys tried that already? It's pretty cool. You don't even have to get out of your truck to go reserve a shower anymore. It'll even send you a little message when the shower's ready. So if there's people waiting in front of you, you don't even have to go inside and wait. You can wait in your truck. I think it's pretty cool. All right, let's find the closest parking spot to the door. I want an actual parking spot, but I'm also lazy right now anyways. I think I see one here in the front row right off to our left here. Is that an open parking spot or is there a Bobtail in there? Let's see, let's see, let's see, let's see. It is an open spot, but it looks like one of those guys took up two spots. Fantastic. Maybe I can still get in there. I think I can still get in there. I don't know. I'm gonna give it a shot. I guess I could just park against the back over there. Like off to my left here. I can go park straight ahead there if I wanted to. Because those guys feel that they need to take up two spots. You know what? You can see I can reserve a shower right from here and then it reserves it for 10 minutes. If I don't get in there within 10 minutes, it'll kick me out of line. Shower number nine is ready. It even tells you what shower to go to gives you your unlock code. All right, so that is truck coming now. Okay. Of course, as soon as I wanna start moving, that's when I'm not gonna stop there. Oh, but you're in my way. I can't get out if you park there. Don't give me the what's up or what's that, the hand wave. Pretty obvious that I wanna go to the exit if I'm pulling out of my spot. Apparently it was my fault. Sorry for occupying the same space you would like to occupy. Anyway, so have you guys checked out that soap? Like I'm not getting paid to advertise for them. Don't think it's anything like that. It's not. That Sasquatch soap used it again here to shower. Oh, it smells so good. I really like it. It works great. All natural products. Seriously, if you haven't yet, those commercials I was talking about, what was that yesterday, day before yesterday? Go check out their commercials on YouTube. It's hilarious. They're advertising alone, convinced me to buy their products. Well, it's pretty windy, but we made it here to Brandon where we wanted to. So the next day we're gonna make it all the way to Edmonton. I almost forgot where we were going. I'm just waking up here. Got the load right here still. Nothing has fallen off and that's always a good thing. I love it when things don't fall off my trailer. Oh, it makes the day go so much better. Never actually had something fall off the trailer. So I really wouldn't, but I'd just assume that would be a bad day. That'd be a worse day than yesterday with all that snow. So I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. I gotta walk the easel right now. Don't forget to subscribe and hang out with me tomorrow for the rest of the journey across the prairies. We're gonna be going full board fast so we can go. No trying to save fuel tomorrow. We gotta get there. I don't wanna be late.
