 Good morning everybody. This is the last window to defrost. It's taking a little while. This thermostat says minus 29, but that's with the heat of the engine. Warming it up a little bit. We're sure outside here in the PAW Manitoba. It's minus 32 Celsius. It is cold. We're gonna figure that out one second here. What is minus 32 Celsius in Fahrenheit? Minus 32 degrees Celsius is equal to minus 25.6 degrees Fahrenheit. There you go. Plus the windshield. Wonderful. What does it feel like outside? Does it say? You don't want to tell me. We picked it up yesterday in Winnipeg. Let's go deliver it here in the PAW and head back. We have another load waiting. Since I got up, it's now minus 32. In 400 meters, turn left onto Cogabana. We're gonna get this freight off the trailer so that we can head on down the highway and keep warm inside the truck. Load it and then we're gonna load a new load. I'm gonna tie that down. Then we're gonna go and enjoy the warmth of all blue. All the way. Focus on that. I'm actually not going home. I'm gonna go pick up another load, but. Toward home. That way. Towards the southward warmer. Hopefully warmer-ness. Oh, that's cold. Okay. Got a few pairs of gloves here on the dash. Warming up. Three pairs to be exact. Ooh, the nice and toasty warmth, that's nice. I've already been out there. I've got all my equipment off. He's unloading me and reloading me now then I gotta tie it down. So, these are the days that aren't the greatest in trucking, but, you know, it's not the worst. Could be worse. I haven't figured out how yet, but it could be worse. I'll load it up, put all my gear off. Trying to get comfortable and warm up. I guess the part of my stomach was exposed for just a little bit. Now it's there. Oh, it got in. It was just burning. Hope it didn't get frostbite. It's from the heart, like they say. Won't kill me. We're taking this load back to our yard. It's actually going to Fargo. Why are you not plugged in? I can tell that you're not plugged in by the way you're pulling, that's not charging. Man, I noticed that otherwise it would just die out on me. God forbid I get lost in Manitoba on our like three roads. Make our way out of the paw. I don't know why they call it the paw. It's T-H-E, like the, and paw, P-A-S. It's like the pawse, but it's called the paw. I don't know much about this town. I don't know why they called it that or why they pronounce it that way. I'm sure there's somebody in my comment section that can educate us all. It's a pretty big little, pretty big town. Left onto Highway 10. Turn left on Fisher Avenue, Highway 10. This is it. So this morning took a lot longer than we expected, again, like usual. I was expecting just to drop off my load and head back empty. Turns out they had a reload here for me, but we didn't know until I got here. So that was a surprise. It was a nice surprise, because I get paid for that then, but I still wasn't expecting it. So I wasn't mentally prepared. It's cold, but we got it done, we got it done. Right there, buddy, come on. There you go. The windshield washer wasn't lying. They said it was good down to minus 35. It's minus 32, and it's still liquid, so that's good. That dirt is on the inside of my windshield. Oh man, that's why. You don't notice how dirty your windshield is until you drive right to the sun. That would be interesting. Still surprised that they issue permits for houses that wide on these narrow two-lane roads, because what would happen if I also had a wide load? Like, he just barely squeaked past me with maybe like a foot or two space. What if I had a big wide load? How would we pass each other? That's a surprise that they would issue a permit for something so wide, but I guess they do. I mean, we saw one yesterday too, right? A lot of fun pulling that thing. I'd love to be the driver pulling that thing, I'll tell you that, but you go through some extra training and probably get some certificate or something. The one on the left where the house met another truck, they have to put the house literally in the ditch and hope that it doesn't slide in. What if the house slid right into the ditch? They got stuck, how do you pull that out? What do you tell the tow truck operator? Like, hey, we're gonna hit the ditch. All right, what kind of vehicle do you have? It's a house. What? Can you imagine that conversation? Yeah, I was just wondering if you could help me out. I hit the ditch with my house. Could you come pull it out, please? It's on the side of the road, just need a little pull to get my house out of the ditch. It's 28, so I'll see us outside right now. Pulls go down to minus 31 now. And after tonight, it's supposed to get progressively warmer for the next week. And then in a week from now, the 10 day forecast is saying that it's gonna be at zero degrees, or 32 Fahrenheit. So, it'll be really cold this week and melting next week. This is my load right here. Someone was nice enough to leave the fags on it for me. That's nice. How did they, oh, they nailed them on there. They are smart. That's smart, whoever did that, thank you. Huh, never thought of that. He learns something new every day, right? Over here too. Yeah, they nailed on there. Okay, smart, smart, smart. Okay, so a little bit, a little bit wide, not too bad, eh? This is going down to Fargo, North Dakota. I'm gonna hook onto it now, tie it down, and then probably go down to Latalia, Manitoba, close to the border, and stop there for the night. I believe I'll be out of hours for the United States hours of service, by that point. So, won't be able to cross the border tonight. We'll get close, and we'll wake up tomorrow and we'll be in Fargo, probably around lunch. Maybe just before. Real simple load to tie down. Nothing, nothing big involved in it at all, really. I will have to flag it, oh, I've been flagged in the back already. No flags in the front, though. I took their flags, and took his flags back on the front. On this side too. I don't know who picked this up for me, but I do appreciate it, so thank you, whoever you are. Okay, I know my video stabilization doesn't work as well in low light, so I'm sorry if the video's a little shaky at night times. I gotta be very careful to hold the camera very still. But during the daylight hours, this thing has got incredible video stabilization. It's the GoPro Hero 8 that I'm using now. This is my pocket GoPro. I've got a GoPro Hero 10 as well. Though that one doesn't do quite as well in low light situations. I'm gonna upgrade my camera soon. But I wanna do some shopping around, make sure I get exactly the one I want. I want it in time for the baby. I'm gonna go and go do some shopping. There's a couple I've had my eye on already. Couple of different kinds. I think it's a good reason. I wanna be able to capture the first moments of our baby's life in high quality with a great camera. We'll see. Not guaranteed, but the way things are looking right now, I think it'll probably happen. It's a pretty good spot, so we've been preparing for this for a long time, so if we weren't in a good spot, I wouldn't be able to be planning my paternal leave right there. Shoot! A lot here was pretty full yesterday. I'm in St. Agath, Manitoba, and this is where I ended my day. I just got here and went to bed. It was pretty late. There was a lot of spots left, but there was six or seven trucks here that were parked very crooked, taking up two spots. And what was really weird is there was trucks that had nosed into parking spots that would have a very hard time backing out. It's hard to explain here, because here off to the left where the blue truck is and behind him, right, those spots face the other spots over there on the right. And all those spots on the right were full. But for some reason, there was six trucks. There's still one there, a Super B, behind this blue truck. I don't know if you can see it or not. My window's a little dirty. A Super B with two trailers that nosed in. And I was wondering, like when I got here last night, so he nosed in this way and then all the parking spots behind him filled up. How is he gonna back out a Super B without hitting anybody on the way out? There was three of them like that. Three Super Bs they pulled in. They were all taking up two spots because the trailers were all crooked. And I understand it's hard to find parking spots for Super Bs because they're longer than usual units. You have two trailers, it's hard to back them up. I don't think that's right when they come in and they take up two spots and park all shriek or all crooked. Bothered me a little bit. I almost didn't have a parking spot, but I ended up just making a spot here on the side. I'm right up against the snow bank in the back. I'm out of the way, I'm not blocking in. That guy right there, it worked out, right? So I'm okay, I'm not in the way of the pumps. I'd rather not make a spot like this, but where else was I gonna stop? I was out of hours, right? And I wanted to stop somewhere because it was minus 31 all night, I wanted to stop somewhere with a 24-hour building. So if my truck shuts off, I have somewhere to go in and keep warm. So that was interesting. That was my night when I got here last night and I was so tired and a little bit frustrated by that because I have a wide load now. I think I'm about 11 foot something wide. I'm about the same as the other one the other day. And I couldn't find a parking spot because of that. So yeah, a little frustrated, so I just went to bed. I didn't feel like talking. Everything turned out okay. So that was my day today. We started in the paw, we unloaded, we reloaded, we brought that load to the yard, took my equipment back. Oh, it's easy, oh. Waking up here, grabbed this trailer, strapped it down, flagged it, tagged it, checked my permits, made sure I'm all good to go. And then I came here to St. Agath's fuel so I can go to bed with full tanks of fuel and have a 24-hour building. Now, in tomorrow's vlog, we're gonna leave from here, we're gonna head towards Fargo, North Dakota. Get this load delivered and then I'm planning on washing old blue. Hopefully the line-up's not too long at the Blue Beacon. And then coming home, I'll probably come home empty. It's got a bunch of stuff to get done at home. Got an appointment to get to. So that's probably what's gonna happen. That'll be my week. And I'll go home for a couple of days. Get out there again, try again next week. So thanks for watching today, everybody.
