 Hey Shavey, excited? You excited? So Shavey is going to daycare today and Diesel is going to the vet for his mouth cleaning. For those of you who haven't been following along, Diesel had an EKG last week to check his heart because he has a heart murmur. The reason we did that was for today. Today is his big day where he's getting his mouth cleaned. He's kind of a big procedure for a dog, especially of his age. He's almost 12 years old. So he's got to be put under under some heavy anesthetics. So he's out for like the whole day, almost or most of the day. So they checked his heart to make sure his heart was good. We haven't heard anything back. So when it comes to doctors, very often no news is good news. I'm going to ask again before I drop, as I drop them off for sure, just to make sure that they got those results and that they went over them. I don't want otherwise we did that EKG for nothing, but I'm, I'm sure they got it all handled. So he's going in today. I'm a little nervous, but you know, our little guy, our little dash and wiener, he's gone through this twice already as far as I know, maybe three times twice at least. So we've been here before with one of our other boys and Chevy's going to daycare for the day to get some socialization and energy out of his system, get some exercise. We don't take him to daycare every day, just every now and then. It's just that he, you know, gets to know that there's a whole world out there, that there's other dogs out there. And there's a bigger world outside of our house and yard, right? And then I have a whole list of things that I have to do today yet. I have to finish moving over the shop yet to the new shop. I have to get the summer tires put back on our, or in the wheels, the rims and tires put back on the terrain today. I got to get those sensors done so that it lines up with the sensors in the dash here so that it tells us what the air pressure is. Every time I switch the tires over, they got to reset the sensors. I got to bring that in to get that done. What else I got to do? I also have to start, probably not today, maybe tomorrow, start installing that dishwasher. And then measuring out those countertops we bought yesterday. This week is full. Old blues in the shop right now, getting a safety. Got polished the last couple of days, so she's nice and clean. So we're hoping to have the truck back by the end of the week, but there's a little bit of a list of things to do on the truck. Bring it up to top notch. Get it ready for the next year. Every year, it's an annual safety. We have to get this done every year. And this safety is exactly what it is. If you don't know what a safety is, it's exactly what it sounds like. It's an inspection on the truck top to bottom front to back side to decide to make sure the truck is safe to operate. It has to pass this inspection by a qualified safety technician. And my truck, if it doesn't pass, cannot be used on the roads. It will be put out of service until it gets fixed or whatever, whatever needs to be done to bring it up to, up to standard. Every year we got to do this. It used to be every six months and then they change it to every year, but they're very thorough. So everything's got to get checked. The brakes, lights, everything. I'm drawing a blank right now. Obviously the brakes and lights, but I'm drawing a blank. I don't know where I'm going with this. Everything gets checked, everything. You excited, boys? Beasley, excited for your nap? It's gonna be good. He wasn't able to eat for since yesterday at 6 p.m. So he got suffered about 5.30 and he wasn't supposed to have any water after midnight. He's gonna be hungry when he comes home. We drop him off between 8 and 8.30 and we pick him up between 3 and 3.30. So it works out perfect with Chevy's daycare. I can drop him off and pick him up at the same time and they're at the same location. All right, Chevy, you first. I'll drop Chevy off here and then I'm gonna go back to that other driveway over there and actually I can bring diesel in here and just walk across. Yeah, I'll just park here. Bring Chevy in here first and then we'll bring diesel in there. So we can take a proper good luck to diesel. All right, Chevy, you have a good daycare, okay? You have fun? Diesel will be right in the next building, right beside you there, okay? Make sure you think about them today. You're gonna be having a bit of a procedure done, right, Diesel? You'll be sleeping though, don't worry. All right, so we brought Chevy inside and now it's time for diesel. Oh, I'm getting a little more worried now. This is a big deal, man. Gonna have such a nice smile when we're done. Oh, don't be shy. Don't be shy. Come on, hold your head up. Hold your head up. Be proud, man. You hold your head up high, okay? You'll be just fine, all right? I think you're just telling yourself that, aren't you? I know I'm gonna be fine. You're gonna convince yourself that I'm gonna be fine. Yeah, you're gonna go for a nice long nap. Can I see your teeth? Can I see your teeth? Oh, yeah, those are gonna be nice and clean. Hopefully they don't need to pull any, but okay. All right, we're going to the other building. Hold on. Okay, no, Chevy went in that building. We're going in this building. Okay? That was harder than I thought. I'm okay. I'm okay. He'll be okay. I'll be okay. This is his first, big surgery or procedure or anything. He's been so healthy his whole life. I've never had to worry about him really. He doesn't have any health problems other than he has a heart murmur. So there's that. That's what I'm worried about. The vet here is going to make sure that he looks over everything again before they put him under. Make sure that everything is looks good and as it should be, he's probably gonna give me a call. If it reminds me, I'm just going to make sure my ringers are on and then he's going to take a look at everything in his mouth. See if any teeth need to be pulled for each tooth that gets pulled. There's a charge for each one. So he's got to call me and tell me how many he thinks needs to be pulled and get the green light from me. And then he'll go ahead and do that. Obviously, I'll give him the green light to do whatever is necessary. And diesel is going to be going for a nap once once they're sure that everything is good. I made sure to double check and make sure but don't put him under until he verify make double sure on that EKG. He's got a heart murmur. He has a heart murmur. They know what they're doing. They're professionals. He's the doctor, right? Doctors know what they're doing. He's been my boy. Try not to think about it too much. Okay, let's go distract our brain and let's go get the winter tires off of here and put the summer tires back on. I'm doing it a little late this year. I know they're not studded. So it's okay. It's illegal to have studded tires on your vehicle after April, I believe end of April or something. But these aren't studded. They're just winter tires. You can have them all year round but they're softer so they'll wear down really quickly in summer when the asphalt gets really hot and you're making corners and stuff. So you want to take them off obviously usually sooner than this. Life is busy, especially with the newborn at home. And all of our dogs to take care of and worry about it'll be okay. Wiener's gone through this twice, right? And if Wiener can do it twice diesel can do it once for sure. Diesel can do it five times if Wiener can do it twice, right? I know how Brit felt. It was hard for her last time to leave him at the vet knowing that you know he's going to be put under and as an old guy being put under and an anesthetic is a little bit riskier than you know a young healthy dog but you know he's an old healthy dog, right? He's going to be good. He's in good hands. He's in good good hands. I'm gonna try not to think about it too much. Let's let's go and like I said let's go distract ourselves. Let's keep busy. We'll get the tires from the shop and start on that. Those are the tires we're looking for and then once we're done with that I have to finish moving over a few things yet. We pretty much got everything. I got all the big stuff moved over the other day. I'm gonna finish moving everything over into this newer shop and start settling in. Gotta put the lines down on the floor again for parking so that I can get old blue in here nice and straight and the main reason I switched shops well first of all this one's bigger but this floor drain the other one did not have a floor drain so in winter time all the snow would melt off my truck and just sit on the floor so I park it in the shop overnight and first thing in the morning as soon as I got up I'd have to rush over to the shop and use my floor squeegee and quickly squeegee all of the water out and I had to make sure that none of it got anywhere near our you know our personal stuff that's all the storage for our house that's going to be going into our new house once we get a new house eventually. I'm not sure when that'll happen yet. As soon as we can we'll say that we've got to make sure that we have a sizable down payment so that my monthly mortgage payments aren't you know sky high so that I can still afford to you know stay home every now and then and spend time with my kids and my family so that'll happen for now we have everything we need in the house that we have it's a little bit small and tight but we're making it work it's just fine we'll have a new house one day that's that'll all like go into our storage at our house then right because this this will probably all fit into the storage room of the house that we buy maybe it'll go under the stairs you know most houses have storage the one we're in now does not we own the house we have now we don't rent so we got a lot of equity in it already we'll get a little bit more equity in the house we're redoing the countertops now we're redoing the bathroom slightly we're redoing the shower and bathtub that's going to be new that we put in a crawlspace dehumidifier underneath there to keep the humidity levels and that solved that problem humidity levels are just perfect now we put in an air conditioner when we first moved in top of the line air conditioner we put in a new 60 gallon hot water tank we put in a new washer and dryer we put in a new window on the front of the house so we've done quite a bit of work on the house already we've made it what we want it to be now we're going to sit and enjoy it for a little bit while we have feel we're fine just having a two bedroom house that's fine but you know once another one is on the way we're gonna really have to start thinking hard about getting a bigger house for now we're okay but what i'm saying is that the other shop didn't have this floor drain and i've already tested it put water like on the floor and it all runs straight to the drain so thank goodness that'll solve a lot of problems in winter time and make it a lot easier for me to maintain and uh gotta hang up all my uh my wall art again this shop has the walls mudded and all i'd have to do is sand it and i can paint it i'm not gonna worry about that right now though i'm just gonna stay just as it is for an indefinite amount of time i would love it to be nicely painted but no that's that's not at the top of my to-do list at all it's not not even near the top it's like somewhere near the bottom right now it's so different coming in here now right so empty you can definitely tell that this one's smaller now i i couldn't tell the difference when i first first went to go look at the the new shop i was like well it doesn't look that much bigger is it now that i have this one empty and i'm moving it into that one you can definitely tell that one is deeper and wider one good thing about that thinking ahead for the future here right because i'm stretching my wheelbase uh the maximum length i'm allowed to have for my entire unit truck and trailer is 75 feet in canada it's like 75.2 they measure it in meters or something like that whatever 75 feet is what i'm allowed to have and right now with my trailer attached and my fifth wheel all the way back i'm sitting at 72 feet pardon me 73 feet i have two feet available up to my 75 foot limit plus what i can do is once i stretch my wheelbase i can move my fifth wheel forward a foot giving me another foot so i could technically add three feet to my frame and still be legal for my overall length in canada the maximum length from the front axle to the rear axle my wheelbase is i believe 7.2 meters which equals now correct me if i don't 280 inches i don't have my phone with me i don't have my phone with me one second i don't have my phone with me the the vet is gonna call what am i doing i left it in the truck no i didn't it's right here smarter than the you're smarter than i thought smarter than you thought too okay let's say 7.2 meters meters to feet 23 feet oh it's two inches inches 283.465 inches yeah so i can have a maximum wheelbase in canada legally of 283 inches right now my wheelbase is 244 inches so i could 44 54 64 74 i could add like 36 man my math is bad right now you know what i'm talking about i could add a considerable amount of length to my frame now the reason we stretch our frames out is first of all to look cool i'm just kidding but serious it looks better but also for ride comfort when you're going over bridge connections and over bumps the longer the wheelbase the smoother the ride and of course people are gonna come back and say well what about getting into tight docks i already drive a w900 it's already hard getting into tight docks what's a what so we make it a little bit harder at least you look good flying down the highway right you don't buy a w900 for convenience and fuel efficiency okay there's not the reason you buy a w900 or a peterbilt 379 389 or this new 589 that they're releasing now what do you guys think of that the 589 they pretty much took the what is it the 583 the short nose and they just put a long nose on it so the windshield is like curved outwards the dash is like a it's totally different i'm not a fan of the the new peterbilt 589s i don't hate it but i definitely like the 389s a lot better a lot better just like i like the w900 a lot better than i like the w990 they keep trying to modernize things and make it better and it's already awesome you don't need to make it better stop messing with it it's a good thing like my my kenworth is a 2008 i can use parts from like a 1999 or a 2023 w900 and they're pretty much identical the dash panels and interior changed a little bit around 2007 to 2008 i think mine was the first year where they had the new dash panel so the inside's a little different but that was whoa whoa whoa hold your horses kenworth's right that was a big change already but uh just just you have you have a good thing the 389s and the w900 you have a good thing let's try not to mess with it too much anyways what i was getting at is with the the bigger shop when i stretch the wheelbase i'll still be able to fit it in no problem and have room to get around work with work with it or work on it and have room for my storage for my other stuff as well right because with a 280 inch wheelbase in here what's that where'd these springs come from what in tarnation did you guys see that this spring just fell from the what what just happened where did you come from i stepped on something over here i thought it was uh i thought it was this thing i stepped on this bag by accident i don't know what this is also for the dishwasher is it yes for the dishwasher did i step on a part and break it what's this i don't know what the spring is for oh there's another piece i have no idea what just happened a spring fell from the ceiling i need to clean this floor weird what was i talking about anyways i've been babbling again double babbling so a 280 inch wheelbase in this shop would bring the nose of my truck if i have it with like maybe a foot behind it just so i can just barely walk behind it it would bring it past this line to about here and i wouldn't even be able to open the hood in my shop so thinking ahead it's not the reason i'm moving to a different shop but it's definitely going to help when that frame extension comes because i need to be able to open my hood with the door closed when it's minus 30 outside i need to be able to work on the truck when it's cold where did that spring it's raining springs in here spring is in the air what's going on you saw that right i'm going nuts i know what happened now i know what happened this spring is from my motorcycle stands i brought him to the other shop already this must have fallen out and was sitting on the ground here and i wasn't watching where i was going and i stepped on it just the right way that it went bang landed over there and then freaked me out for the next five minutes huh well it's official in my shop spring is in the air gotta make sure i don't lose this so that was the vet calling me about diesel he did just great he did just great he's recovering right now i can pick him up in a few hours they're gonna monitor him and uh make sure everything else went well or it goes well he had one tooth removed it was one of his smaller premolars they said and it was fractured so they pulled that out so we're going to be sent home later this afternoon with some antibiotics and pain meds i'm guessing and they just went over what to expect uh in the next couple of days because he's going to be a little bit off because he just you know had a tooth pulled and went under anesthetics for actually that wasn't even that long a couple hours i thought they put him under for longer but the the vet knows what they're doing and obviously he or she is very good at what they do so all right i can i can worry less now he's doing okay and he's recovering can't pick him up yet now or or can't pick him up yet but soon and uh i asked about the results of the ekg i wanted more in-depth uh in a review of what they found uh he's gonna call me or he or she i don't know who the vet is the doctor who is in today uh they have some male and female doctors there i'm not sure which one uh did the procedure but the doctor's gonna call me this afternoon and go over all the details and interpret all the doctor speak to me so i can understand and figure out what's going on with his heart and how his heart is doing other than that everything looks good i can continue working now almost got this shop cleared out i just got to do the walls obviously i'm saving that for last once everything's out of here and i'll pile that all in a box and zip it over to the other shop and i won't be setting them up right away i don't think but eventually as time goes on we'll put all the stuff back up and i think we have a banner coming from house as well house products i'm still waiting for that to come in i'm gonna put that up in the new shop that's enough for today got everything moved over now all i have to do is clean out like the floors and just actually clean the the old shop so i leave it clean for the next person got everything in here now i need to organize it and put the lines on the floor for old blue old blue will be here in a couple of days safety is supposed to take the rest of this week but uh might have might have it in here by the next weekend we'll see we'll probably get going the following monday is what i'm thinking we're here to pick up diesel diesel and chevy not just diesel gonna pick up diesel first get them in the car and then go and pick up chevy and then we'll go home let's go see how he's doing jango it's a little chilly out today diesel looks like he's doing fine he's got a little patch on his front leg there from his IV i'm guessing we'll take a look at it at home come on let's go home well let's go get chevy first how was your nap oh he's doing just fine to you yeah you have a good time is that the right way to say it oh you got all kinds of gunk around your eyes oh it's a dr gentle there we go yeah you look good all right okay so your brother is right next door yeah you're just so good oh look how clean those are one driveway and in the next chevy got a bit of a free bath today because apparently he was rolling around in the poops he's smelling on diesel yeah i smell like a doctor he does it's true and there's a letter from the uh from the daycare we missed chevy he is the biggest sweetheart he did roll in some poop lol but we gave him a quick bath to clean him up that was nice of them we hope to see him again soon chevy you rolling around in poop yeah sounds about right sounds about right yep okay we got diesel we got chevy let's go home we got a lot of work done at the shop today got everything moved over all i gotta do is go back and wash the floors in the old shop i think i told you that already and then that hell i gotta go hand in the keys then by the end of the month and uh then that's that we have eventually moved and then i have to organize the new shop which is probably never gonna happen somewhat organized you know i gotta make it look like everything is where it's supposed to be you just have to find out where supposed to be is and make it look like it's there off we go so diesel how you feeling how you feeling like 75 percent man getting you look at that you got a fancy haircut very nice matches your other one from uh last week can i show them you just relax man you just relax i'll stop bugging you look at this burger over here look at the size of that thing now that's a burger a turkey burger real burger look at that thing i'm not even gonna bite that look at that look at here's my hand here's my hand for uh reference it's huge that that's that's fluffy it's a fluffy burger it's not it's not it's just a fluffy burger it's gonna be delicious just hanging out wide awake and wide awake really and then what so that's it for today diesel hasn't had much of an appetite since he got back from the doctor so hopefully that will improve tomorrow but thanks for watching everybody and i'll see you tomorrow
