 Well good morning, neighbor. I'm all dressed up. Not all dressed up. It's not my Sunday best, but I'd say it's a solid Friday night out best. And it's Friday today too. I didn't even think of that. See what I'm smarter than I think I am. It is Friday. Happy Friday. So we've gone down the road. Probably about 10, 15 minutes. Maybe even more than that. Maybe about a half hour. And we're just gonna check the load real quick. Make sure everything is good back there still. Chevy's very concerned. I would like some pets, please. Please. Could you spare a pet for a Chevy? Maybe. I guess I could. Alright, let's go out and show you this load. This guy here at the rest area. The red truck back here obviously got here really late. And he parked right in the driveway. And people can barely get in here now. Oh well. It is what it is. That's the load. I think it turned out pretty well. It's not pretty much one height. I was happy with it. Used three out of the four tarps I have. I have four tarps because sometimes if the load comes all the way to the back of the 53 foot trailer, I need that fourth tarp. I don't even say so myself. Let's go take a look at the other side. In the light, here you go. Very nice. I like the way that looks. Pull into South Dakota here. I'd like to get another four hours behind me today yet. So we've driven over half hour day already. Time to stall for some fuel. I need some DEF. I'm getting kind of low on that. Stop at this flying J or it's actually a pilot. Several times. You guys should remember it if you've been watching long enough. I can't get those streaks off my window in front of the camera. I need new wipers. This is Murdo, South Dakota. Population 679. Exactly. That's what the sign said and signs don't lie. It couldn't be 680. Nope. 679. I wonder how often they change those signs, you know? Do they change it every time they have a census and how often do they do a census? These are questions I think about. I know, right? What's wrong with me? It's funny as you come out west here to western South Dakota and as you go further and further west, there's a casino in every truck stop. They really like their gambling out here. Get some fuel. Where is it? There's no fifth street here. They're in the back lane. Oh, I hope their DEF pumps aren't frozen. Oh, I really hope they're not frozen. Really preferred if they worked. Looks like they're working. There's no signs on there saying that they're not working. Fantastic. Time to spend a few hundred dollars. It's been a very uneventful day driving across the plains. Scenery has been riveting, though. You get a lot of good scenery of the sky. Fueling now, yes. No, not that. There we go. Excuse me, guys. Excuse me. I need to put my belt on. I'm wearing my fat pants with no belt. That's a problem. Chevy, you want to go pump my fuel for me? How about you pump the diesel? No, no, diesel. You pump the diesel and Chevy will pump the DEF. How about that? Stay in here and stay warm. Have a nap. How's that sound? Sound like a plan? Chevy, you look excited about it. You're such a big boy. Are you still growing? Look how big you are. Look how big you are. Chevy, I really need to get past. Okay. Sitting all day can really take a lot out of you. Tell you what. Messy night. Temperature is one degree Celsius, one degree above freezing. So everything is melting. Everybody's spraying me. Making me use my washer fluid. Crafted City, isn't this... No, that's Sturgis where that big bike rally is. I'd love to be able to get my motorcycle out of the garage this summer. I'd like to trade it in for a Harley one day. It's just so expensive to register it in Manitoba. You have to pay the whole year's insurance on it, even though you can only drive it for the summer season. You have to pay the whole year, which is $1,700 to $2,000 for the year. And you have to pay it, if you want to do it on payments, you have to pay it within the six month riding season. So insurance with everything else included was over $300 a month just for the motorcycle insurance. So I can't afford that right now. I'm thinking what I'll do this year is I'll probably get a temporary permit and just take it out some days on the nice days. I'd say I'd go riding with my buddy Will, but he sold his Harley this last year. I was shocked. I was very shocked. Sad. I think he was sad too. I don't know why he decided to sell it, but he made a decision. Made a decision and maybe one day I'll get another one. Britt's dad used to also have a Harley. Sold it as well. I know that was very tough for him to sell the bike. But it's just so expensive in Manitoba. They have a very bad bias against motorcycles. I understand that insurance costs a lot, but you go to Alberta and you can register your motorcycle to ride around for like 40 bucks a month or something. Something affordable like that. Why is it over $300 a month in Manitoba? It's not fair, but it is what it is. So we'll see. Maybe if I win the lottery, I'll be able to register my motorcycle this summer. That'd be nice. Anyone know where I can get the winning ticket? Every time I go to the counter, I ask for the winning Lottomax ticket. And every time they lie to me and they tell me, this is it. Nope. Still haven't found it. Let me know if you know where I can go get it. Bell Forge, South Dakota. Remember we stayed here the last time we had a load going out to BC? Seven kilometers. That turn left on US2 Plow. There's like midway truck plaza up ahead here. There was no parking and then someone pulled out just as we were about to give up and leave. So it's pretty late now. It's just after midnight. So I'm guessing that we might have a little bit of a tough time getting parking there. I hope not. Today's Friday. Oh boy. So hopefully a lot of these drivers around here are at home and not at the truck stop. Unfortunately for me, I've got to work. I've got a freight to deliver. People need me. That's what I keep telling myself. Fun fact for you. Did you know that this town, Bell Forge, Bell Forge, South Dakota is the center of the United States of America from east to west? We are right in the middle of the country. Fun little fact for you. It's actually a small city. It's bigger than Steinback, that's for sure. And Steinback is apparently considered a city. Debatable. I would rather call it a town. I don't want it to turn into a city. I want it to stay a town. I think I've got a different street. This must be the old downtown. There's the old saloon. Cowboy Back Bar is what it's called. These little western towns, I just love them. Let's see if we can get parking for ourselves here. I just got this feeling it's going to be full. Oh, what do you know? There's a spot right there for us. Right in front of us. I just got to go turn around. Oh, good. See that right there. Oh, can I fit in there? Oh, I can't fit in there. It's the guy parked all crooked. That's not very nice. Park straight. Look at that. Well, just wander around here and hopefully find a spot. Looks pretty full. More people parking crooked. Is it really that difficult to park straight? You're snoring, buddy. It's been a long day. A very long day of trucking. I'm a tired weasel, man. Let me sleep. I'm an old man. It's true. According to the internet, diesel is a senior dog for another two years yet. Then after two years, he's an elderly dog. You're going to go from weasel to old man weasel to really old man weasel. You're such a good boy, buddy. Stop growing up so fast or stop getting old so fast. Stop it. Poor guy. Why can't dogs live as long as we can? Why can't everyone just live forever, right? Anyways, thanks for watching today. I found a parking spot here at the truck stop. Another 2,000 kilometers to go tomorrow yet. That's 12 or 1,300 miles. I'm tired. I'm going to put this together here and go to bed. Take care and I'll see you tomorrow. Please don't forget to subscribe to my channel. I make a new video every day.
