 Good morning, buddy. It's another new day. Does anybody want to go outside? Hey, Weiner. That means you too. Weiner. Want to go outside? Come on, let's go. Let's go. Come on. Do I have to? Come on. So this is what we're dealing with outside. We got another snowfall. One of those April snowfalls. April showers bring many flowers. It's what it brings. It brings snow. It's not about a foot. Over a foot in places. Yesterday I spent all day working on the video called Our Greatest Journey Yet. This little guy here wants to be. He's not. You want to be center of attention, don't you? I just wanted to talk to them for two minutes. Is that okay? Do I have your permission? No. I might have to take care of this guy first. I'll be right back. I think we're good. He changed his mind. Slowly back away. Quietly. Okay, so I was saying yesterday, I was working on this video called Our Greatest Journey Yet. This details the story of Brittany's journey to bring Theo into this world from start to finish. It's a bit of a longer one. It's about 40 minutes long. I'll take it out. I'd encourage you to go to my channel and find it on there. If you haven't watched it already, maybe I'll include a little link up in the top here where you can just click on it. It'll take you right there. Or after you've done this one, like I said, it'll be probably near the top of my uploads. Because I just recently uploaded it as of when this vlog was released. But we went all the way back through our vlogs all the way back to what, number 14 something? And... lots of emotions. And, you know, I really forgot how much we actually went through. And especially how much Britt went through to bring Theo into this world. I didn't even show all of the appointments. I just detailed some of them. I wanted to give a general story. If I would have filmed and showed every single appointment on this video, it would have been an hour and a half long. And I didn't want to keep you that long. You guys are busy. You guys got stuff to do too. You can't just watch Trucker Josh all day, but I mean, you could. I'm not going to stop you. This woman here, she is a superhero. I didn't forget all we went through. What? I forgot some of the terminology and the prices of things. That's pretty crazy. Yeah, we're just reviewing it right now. I've had to reupload it. I'm going to have to reupload it twice because of spelling errors and different errors in the video. I'm going to do three proof-watch now. I need to grow. I'd be a little bit painful, but I'm fine with pain. This was January 10th. I'm going to give you a little bit of med to give you more. Two, right? Yeah, it'd be nice to get like 15, 20, 25, 30. And we only got six. 20 eggs. And they harvest them. They give her medication, right? To make sure that they don't kill each other, that they all mature. And then they go in there and retrieve them. They harvest them. Yeah, I thought retrieve was a nice word to use, but yeah, they harvest. They harvest me like a crop. I'm not looking forward to that. I don't even know how to go through that. We're going to have a baby. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. By this time next year, we could be here. It's go time. And that was very close. So this was April 3rd, as you can see. 2022, vlog number 2502. So I detailed that in the corner there so you guys can sort of follow along. And it was close. March 22nd. We became parents. Did you spit it out again? Did you spit it out? There you go. Just to keep you occupied until your milk is ready. There you go. Is this milk ready now? All right, somebody. Yeah, he doesn't want that. He wants the bottle. Okay. Mr. Don't get mad at me. Look. There you go. There it is. Oh, yes. So good. Look at all that dry skin. Hey. Mom just washed your face. Not too long ago. Whenever he's feeding, he just gazes into the eyes of whoever's feeding him. Thank you so much. Oh, excuse you. Don't spit out your milk. I worked hard for that. She did. Got up at all hours of the night to make sure she had that there for you. I did. Twice. Well, I've got to make one more change. One more tweak to this yet. And then re-render it, which takes about an hour. And then re-upload it, which takes about another hour and a half. It's a big one. There it is. 41 minutes, 21 seconds. And then I have to wait for YouTube to do its checks and everything. And then once YouTube does its checks to make sure that it's appropriate for the internet, I can release it. So yeah, once all that is done, hopefully I'll have it released today for you. So you may have watched that video before you even watched this one. So if you haven't seen it yet, once again, go check it out on my channel. I put a lot of work into it. It took me a lot of time to put it together. And for those of you who've been watching the channel for years and years, it'll be a nice little trip down memory lane. I just came to check on old blue a bit. It's going back to the shop in a couple of days to get that new visor installed. We had to modify the mounts just a little bit. Just on the side there. I'll explain everything when we actually get it installed and everything, but it's going to look great. It's going to look great. I'm hoping that in a couple of days it'll be a little bit cleaner outside. It is messy. See just rolling out of the shop. It's everything just muddy. That's why I haven't completely washed and polished it yet. And I'm not going to polish it until we're having polished whatever I decided to do. I was planning on getting it polished into this month. But we've been having some crazy snow storms. I really wasn't expecting so much snow to fall in April, but I guess I should have thought of last year. Last year we had a ton of snow fall too. I totally forgot about that until we started that video I was talking to you about before going back in time, watching my old blogs and I was like, yeah, we had a huge storm. We called it third winter. Last year in 2021 or was it? No, 2022. I forget what year it is already. All these years just keep going faster and faster. Now we had a big snow storm in April then too. I guess it's not that uncommon, but all that snow we got is all melting now. Should be gone in a little bit. It's going to get really warm in the next few days. I'm hoping it'll all be gone. But I'm thinking I'm probably going to hold off. I'm polishing this whole thing until probably end of May. I'm thinking beginning of June. I want to make sure that the roads are clear. All the snow is gone and that the streets have been swept so that there's no more dust or salt on the pavement anymore. I just don't see a point in paying all that money to get it polished and then just drive it right out into the mud again, right? So once the time is right we'll get old blue and ice polish including this headache rack. I want to get that polished. But now is not the time. First, the visor. We'll get that up there. I've told you already about it. It was a... It's from Bullsnot. So it's got... What's mounted up here? So on this side here on the corner it has the Bullsnot logo. It was a gift from Bullsnot. And then the TJV logo on this side. I think that'll look awesome. Custom etched. It's too bad about the mounts. I mean it will work on the mounts where it is now, but it would come down a little bit low over my windshield and that reduces visibility. And there's also certain specifications that I have to stick to. Unfortunately in the U.S. it can't be more than 14 inches from the bottom of the windshield to the tip of the lowest part of your visor. And in Canada the lowest part of the visor can't come more than 6 inches past the top of the windshield there. On a straight line from lowest point. So it would have been sort of right in between there. So the mounts are being a little bit adjusted. I ordered it that way and didn't realize. So this visor has been like a year in the making. So I'm very excited about it. So that's why I went through all this extra trouble. I'll just get it custom mounted. It was going to go flat down over the windshield before like right down in front of the window. They're just going to angle it out a little bit. And if you're covering too much of the window you roll through the scale, some scale depending on who gets it. They could pull you in and check things out. And deal with that. So I'll just point it out a little bit more. It'll actually grab more of the sunlight that way and give me better visibility. It's mounts a little different. It's still going to look good. It's still going to look really good. The mounts for it would have come right down the side of the window frame there. And just like straight out. Like literally that far. Like an inch or two. A couple inches away from the window. Straight down. And it looks awesome like that, right? Looks awesome. Tracks the wrong kind of attention to your truck though. So you see the way this one's angled a little bit further out. It's pretty much going to be at the same angle as this, I think. And it'll just come out a little bit further. Not too much, but just a little bit further. They assured me it's going to look good. So I trust them. I also got new mirrors to install because this mirror here has this big brown spot on it. You see that? And that's unacceptable. You can't have that. So I got new mirrors. Where are they? Right there. I've got to get them installed. I'm going to spend a lot of time here next week with the truck and in the shop. Before Theo was born, I was going to spend that time in here organizing everything. Taking all that garbage out of here. Cleaning old blue. You know, time got away from me and life is messy. Life doesn't go as planned ever. So why make a plan, right? Well you got to make a plan so you got some kind of direction you're headed in. But just be prepared to change the plan along the way. As long as we get to the same destination at the end of whatever detours we take, that's life. One day next week will be the visor being installed. And another day will be me getting all this garbage out of here. Finally I'm actually going to do it. I'm making a promise to myself right now and I don't break promises. I'm promising myself and I'm promising you. We're getting that garbage out of here next week. We're going to get old blue shined up, cleaned up. We're going to see what the weather is like. I don't think we're going to do the polish yet. We're going to get the truck ready to go completely. We're going to get the interior detailed. I'm going to do that myself. We're going to figure out a system for in the truck for this new camera and this new system. I'm going to have to use my GoPro and the Sony camera in conjunction. Got to figure out how that's going to work. I might need some mounts or something to place in there. I'm going to figure that all out next week and then we'll be ready to go back on the road. So it's about one more week I think until we hit the road again. We're going to plan like we said but we're falling into a good groove with Theo at home. Britt is healing up really well, really quickly. She's able to pretty much get on with her life right now taking it easy. You have to let that incision heal not only on the outside but all the way into the inside as well because of the C-section. It's pretty big surgery. So make sure she's all healed up. I think after another week I'll be ready to hit the road. Take care of yourself little brother. Alright? One more week. A little over a week here. We still have nine or ten days. Very soon now. We'll get you back out there. Doing what you love most. Get those tires singing again. This is a terrible idea today. I'm going to wash this thing. This thing is filthy. Please wait. Yes, thank you. I am waiting. I'm not going to drive through the door. Don't worry. Really messy day out there but the vehicle does need to be washed. Didn't have to wait long. About 30 seconds. Not bad. I always forget about those. I just got the basic washed. Pretty much just our soap and rinse and undercarriage. Just to get the salt off. Everything is melting now. So all the salt is all that was in the snow is all melting onto the road and just sitting on the road it's getting caked onto your car and you just let it sit there while everything is melting and drying out. It starts eating away at your frame and everything underneath your vehicle. So this time of year I know it's not always possible. I always say that, but into the darkness. I always go to the touchless car washes. We do have another wash in town. It's one of those ones that has the things that go over your vehicle and actually brush it. It actually touches the vehicle, the whole vehicle. I went through there once with my pickup and I had scratches all the way down my paint. So I still haven't gotten that fixed and I brought it back to them and showed them the damage their washing machine did to my vehicle and they pretty much just told me what that wasn't us. That wasn't us. Not our fault. I just don't go there anymore, right? I just go to these touchless ones. But I also notice that we're due for an oil change. I'm going to have to get that done. Nice and clean. This thing goes over the whole vehicle drying it off. I like that. This is the co-op car wash in town. There's another car wash at the Super Splash. It's a shell. To be honest with you, I actually like that car wash better because they have people who will shami your vehicle off after it's done. You go through there, the machine washes it just like this, but instead of like the machine drying it, you actually go into this little separate area and they have two people that will shami your vehicle nice and clean. Clean with no spots every time. I like that. I just wasn't in... I wasn't on that side of town. I know it's like two minutes away, but... This is just a little more... I don't have a... I just came here. No reason. I like this car wash too. It's a good car wash. It just doesn't have the shami people. Diesel. Your baby's making sounds again, man. He's making sounds again. What's going on over here? What's going on here, bud? What's wrong? Just squawking? Nothing wrong? Just squawking, practicing your arm movements. Have you realized yet that those are your arms? He knows that these are his legs. That's for sure, because when you pick him up, sometimes you'll like kick him out. He can actually stand up already. Like he obviously can't stand up on his own, but when he gets angry, you know when he's really hungry or something and he gets angry and he kicks his legs out, sometimes he like holds them out. When you're holding him up, he can hold up his body weight. It's amazing. He's 15 days, 16 days old, and he was doing this like a day or two ago already. He can hold up his own body weight there. I mean, if you would let go of him, he would just collapse obviously, so you don't want to do that. But he's getting so strong so fast, he'll be walking in no time. We've got mother of the century over here, multitasking, getting everything done, keeping up with everything, while I worked on my video. Tell you, that baby weight's falling off real quick. Yeah, you've been losing weight. I'm 10 pounds lighter than I was before I got pregnant because I don't have time to sit very often or eat. I'm eating tonight. Busy, busy. This is a little past the squawky that I was talking about before. This is more like he's probably got a diaper that needs to be changed. Are you hungry? Or do you just want to be held? Maybe you just want to be held? Say hi to everybody? Hi! Do you just want to be held? Are you looking at me? Look at them. Look. Look, they're right there. You don't know what a camera is yet. That's okay, you will one day. Just want it to be held. That's okay, I can hold it.
