 folks, ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages. We're just leaving Black River Falls, Wisconsin, head toward Lexington, Kentucky. Feeling a little under the weather today. I got that achy muscle flu type feeling. We'll see how I feel throughout the day. I'm gonna be passing through Chicago today. That'll be fun. I've also got to get across this little road here. Trying to get out of the flying J onto the main road in Black River. It's always difficult because they got the lights timed perfectly so that when the traffic this way stops going, the traffic that way starts so there's never an open period, except for right now. Yeah, if you're patient, a space will open. We're about to enter the mighty freeway I-94 East. We're gonna be headed south, but it's still an eastbound highway. There's on I-94 East. Some people speed right up to the speed limit and lock people in that lane after they've moved over for them. That's rude. Let them pow. Long weekend's coming to a close. It's Monday morning. Why are you all going home already? Enjoy Labor Day. I'm messing up traffic because everybody was planning on spending their Labor Day in traffic. Labor Day today. If you didn't pick up on that. And we're just passing through Wisconsin Dales and everybody who went to the cottage into the water parks here are all going home at the same time. And they all are feeling that this traffic is gonna be like this all the way into Chicago. Pretty good feeling of that. We wanna go check those things out sometime. On the left here is, what's it called again? Wait one second. One second. One second. Okay, two seconds. Okay, one more second. What's it? Okay. Kalahari Resort Indoor Water Park. Like that big building on the left? That's a water park. I would love to come here in winter time to go to the indoor water park. Somewhere around here, I think it's called Noah's Ark Water Park. I don't know which one, but it's the largest, the world's largest indoor water park. And I don't know if that's true. Like the world, it might just be, you know, the biggest in this side of the world, but, and it's inside year round. All right, so we're in South Beloy, Illinois. That's what it rhymes. South Beloy, Illinois, Illinois, Illinois. All right, Diesel? Yes. Diesel's very concerned. He saw another dog a second ago. So I'm getting my fuel cards out here. We're gonna grab ourselves some go-go juice and then take care of a few things inside. If you know what I mean, we're gonna be on our way. Just had a quick fuel stop an hour back at her. Between South Beloy and Chicago on the tollway. This is where they're fixing it. They're widening the tollway. It used to be two lanes each direction. They're widening it, I think. I think they're widening it to three lanes each way. And it looks like they're making some pretty good progress here. I like the way they do the construction here. I like this. Traffic keeps flowing. They get their job done. We get our job done. It probably costs a fortune to fix this thing though. Can you imagine how much money the state or the government, I think this is a federal highway, right? Can you imagine how much money has been pumped into this interstate? Revitalization, you might say. But they're getting it done. They're getting it done. So whoever's paying for this and whoever's getting it done. I don't know if it's state government or federal government or maybe a bit of both. What is that van doing? Oh, the van just cut off this truck. 26 kilometers on 990. God forbid you have to be behind a truck. I almost hit the barrier there. Wow. We must be getting close to Chicago because things are getting crazy. So here's the bypass around Chicago. You guys ready for the craziness? The ride's been very good going through Chicago. We're on the 65 and it's so, so we're taking the 231 or get to see the scenery, like I was saying. Steady driving just to get to the destination. Our first delay this morning was the Wisconsin traffic, all the cabin traffic going home. Second delay was Chicago. Third delay was accident to the Z tour. So hopefully this is it for the delays today. Destination first one where we're headed right now is Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington, Kentucky. It's a nice little area in here. And I love a farming. 65. Days be time. It feels like it does because I'm moving, right? Then just sitting still on the freeway to make it. I don't know if I... Isn't this nice? Hebron, Indiana. I like your town. Very nice. Little small towns in the United States. Oh, that's the same thing in Canada. You know, it's Canada, United States. I just like driving through these towns. There's just a lot more of these little towns in the United States, right? Because there's way more people down here. So nice. How many of you live in a small town like this? Hey, do any of you live in Hebron, Indiana here? Or do you know where it is? Let me know in the comments. Let me know if you've ever even heard of this town. This is exactly the same. Does the town give you a mailbox? I want a different mailbox. I want a special one. These are just different colors, but they're the same kind. If I live here, I'd put myself a custom mailbox. The kerfluffle on the highway. And it should be free-flowing when we get back to the highway in about five times a day. It's actually not a shortcut. It's a D-tour. There you go, D. One week ago from today for you. See how I feel in the morning? I like how I was saying this morning. I was feeling kind of flu-ish, and I'm not achy this morning. Hold on a second. There's one forwarder who is holding me in that left lane. I'm going back to I-65 South. There we go. See, I'm feeling a lot better. Hopefully another good night's sleep, and I'll be all up to 100% again. That's the one thing about driving a truck. You get sick. You can't call in to work sick. Continue 179 kilometers on I-65 South. As long as you're safe to operate the truck, you still got to go to work. Obviously, if you're not safe, if you're too woozy or throwing up, you probably shouldn't get on the road. You should probably just stay in the sleeper, you know, wait it out, call dispatch, let them know you're sick, but I'm not that sick yet. I usually can still drive. So I go through Indianapolis quite a bit as you guys have seen in my vlogs. And I know a lot of you live here. It's a beautiful city. You ready for a walk, Diesel? You ready for a walk? It's been a long day. We're not done yet. We're still about an hour and a half from our destination. And we're just here to walk the weasel. Stopped here to rest area. It's actually a pretty big rest area. It's actually huge. Oh, sorry. He wants to be in the long grass. I keep forgetting. But all the moon is very clear today. Oh, it's right by that light. You can't see it. It's just a beautiful night again. Like I love being on the road and just going for a walk on these nice summer nights. It's just perfect. You guys ever do that? If you haven't, you should definitely try it. Just on a nice, perfect, clear summer night, just go for a walk. Hopefully it's not full of mosquitoes where you're at. But it's the best time of the year. Hey, Diesel. I can't wait till I'm actually settled into my house so that I don't have to worry about unpacking and stuff. We can just enjoy it. Then we'll go on nice summer walks next year. Next year. Anyways, I guess we're going to continue on. To our destination. Probably going to stop in Wadi, Kentucky. There's room for us at the inn. The Flying J there. And then stop skipping a jump to Lexington, Kentucky. We made it. We're in Wadi, Kentucky. Wadi, W-A-D-D-Y. Wadi, why did they call it Wadi? Who knows? So we're, I don't know, 64 kilometers. So just over a half hour from destination. I'll give myself an hour to get there tomorrow morning because of rush hour and whatnot. And we unload one in Lexington, Kentucky tomorrow. One out of five stops. And then we head down, where do we head to? Thomasville? I don't know, I got like the whole day to get there because I don't deliver till the next morning. So we might make a Walmart run and get a few goodies tomorrow, if you know what I mean. I don't know. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Anyways guys, thanks for joining me today. There was a lot of fast forward scenery shots today. Some of you guys really enjoy that so I included that in this vlog just for you guys. There'll be another vlog tomorrow, which will be different than today's vlog because today's vlog is today and tomorrow's vlog is tomorrow. But I can promise you we'll be in this truck and we'll be headed from here to somewhere else. I'll see you then, 4 a.m. Central time. I know I used some different music in the intros and outros in the last yesterday's video and this one. Hope you guys don't mind. I'm just switching things up since I got a new computer. I just figured, I gotta put all the things back together anyways and set up my template and whatnot for my vlogs. Why not try something different? So let me know what you guys think and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
