 Tires, that's my load right there Empty trailer and we're headed home and my foes, but I mean it more for my friends is Friday, August 19th, 2022 I just unloaded these tires here. I slept right here at the customer last night first thing this morning They got them off my truck. I've done my paperwork I've called to the load gods and they have answered me and the answer is Go home trucker Josh Spend some time at home So I'm about four or five hours down the road from the shop then drop the trailer off in the yard first and then we're gonna go to the shop and Relax there for a little bit Get some stuff done on the truck. Maybe wash it down depending on what time we get there and Head home from there for the weekend Monday, we have a we have somewhat of a plan yet It's in the works though, I'll wait to talk about it till we know exactly what's going on I should know by later this afternoon get ourselves back out onto the road here Point our nose towards the shop. Oh wait, no Karen wants me to go that way Karen, why aren't you talking to me? Why is your volume off? I almost went the wrong way Speak to me. What's going on here? You mad at me? Looks like this road here is gonna take us up to Trans Canada and we're gonna head straight east from there Just stopped here in Musumen grab myself some Timmy's I notice the next to me in the passenger seat This guy's got a Jerry can filled with gas. I hope not But what else you put in Jerry can what is that like his? His water bottle he's got water in there and drink out of it I'm not trying to make fun of him, but seriously, what are you doing with the Jerry can of gas in your cab, man? Right, come on. I'm not the only one that's like what summer day here in Winnipeg again just coming into the west side Almost back almost there in the end of the week on the ride home. So, you know how it's been Then stopping me. I didn't even stop in Brandon for coffee Though I did stop in Musumen there I did Hey more about the guy with the gas can and his passenger seat his little buddy there I don't know why he was there Just thought of that now again. I haven't seen him down the highway again. Who knows what happened to him? Might show up on the news later. Who knows? Why would you put a gas can on your passenger seat? Seriously, what reason could there be? Unless you're filling it with water, but why why didn't you buy a water bottle? It's obviously got gas in it, right? That's what gas cans are for I don't know man Speaking of gas looks like we're sitting at $1.689. I hate how they do that. That's $1.69 There is no such thing as point nine of a cent $1.69 per liter for gasoline at $1.88 a liter for diesel fuel Still way too astronomically high if you ask me You know fuel prices have come down from above $2 a liter and Everybody's like, oh, it's so nice to have some relief That's not relief excuse me Back down to normal levels below a dollar a liter for diesel fuel. That's relief You know well below a dollar It wasn't that long ago when it was 88 cents a liter and we were like now It's like a dollar 88 and everyone's like oh, it's so nice So nice that the gas prices have come down. No, they haven't they're tricking you See they put the fuel prices through the roof and then they bring them down to where they actually wanted them and everyone's like Oh, wow, they've they've reduced fuel prices. No, they haven't no they haven't I don't care who they're trying to blame you can't like raise the fuel prices through the roof like past the past orbit and Then be like oh we had to we had to because of the energy crisis and then tell me that oil like oil companies are like Recording record record-breaking profits like billions and billions and billions of billions of dollars like I'm sorry. I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it greed greed is a Disgusting evil in this world You know, don't get me wrong. I'm a capitalist guy, but there's got to be some kind of some kind of cap Everybody thinks they've got the answers. I'll just tell you straight up. I don't got the answers. I have no idea what's going on All I can say is if I was in charge things would be different. I don't say that they'd be better notice that I'm not saying that they'd be better. I'm just saying they'd be different on the perimeter here 20 25 minutes drop this step deck off at work And go spend some time in the shop yet before going home All right Yeah, I'm gonna put my Scottish hat on for when I talk like that. What's going on here, huh? Silly don't play games with me. Let's not forget my tarps Yes, it's very humid here. It was not this humid in Saskatchewan Okay, and right there very nice very nice Wow good job Yes, I just gotta move those tarps Oh It's always sad when you see your tires are wearing down like Kind of nice if they just Developed a rubber that would never wear down, but tire companies would never market that I can't make money off that Buy a set of tires and you never need a set of tires again. Oh, that'd be terrible for business That's like, you know The opposite of what businesses want to do It's like big pharma They have cures to a lot of these diseases, but why would they sell you the cure? Then you don't need their meds, right? Crazy world we live in Tarps are very heavy actually that's probably about a 50 pound tarp. I'm thinking never actually weighed them I don't actually know Most of time. I don't know what I'm talking about people listen. So I keep talking You need a polish you need a polish man. I heard that Jade transport in Winnipeg They have a polishing Bay or something and you can hire them and pay them in the polish your whole truck for you Is that true any of you know I might hire them polish this whole truck Plus if any of you know a good place I can go to around Steinback or Winnipeg It does polishing for a good price. I mean, I'm open to Offers or not offers, but shopping around a little bit Gotta find a good reliable polisher. I'd love to get that that headache rack polish too Summer's coming to an end. I'd like to get it done before winter and once again in spring in Depends on the prices Too expensive, I'll just wait till spring It's getting windier. I'm sorry. You're probably dealing with a whole bunch of wind noise on your end Sorry Don't play games with me I don't play games Oh Hey guys, thanks for catching that So why do this here is I hope this one of the frame right there Sure, it's not tangled like it is Okay, like this like this like that like this like this like that and you like that See I can shelter you guys from the wind a little bit. Oh Pardon Okay, there we go you see and then I Give those just a few little love cranks and then the next step is to Fold this up you don't want this flapping around in the wind I'm gonna get tangled up in your wheels and all kinds of moving parts. It's gonna break something Cops are gonna pull you over and why you got that strap flapping around and you know cops are great guys great people I I appreciate what they do But while they're on duty, I just rather not talk to them if I don't have to like that's sort of the goal Sort of the goal. I'm just glad they're there, but Don't give them a reason to pull you over I Okay, it's a little bit more than a few love cranks There you go Fifth wheels unlocked trailer dollies are down Airlines are detached Tarps are strapped to the back of the truck. We are ready Oh Ready, we're gonna pop this popsicle stand and rock this joint. Oh Wonderful wonderful. They're not going up. Are they going up? Yes, they are okay This morning I dumped the trailer airbags while we were unloading Sometimes I do that set the trailer doesn't like shake around too much while we're unloading and stuff I I dumped the airbags and I clicked the switch for the airbags to go back up and they didn't go back up and I was panicking And then suddenly I played with the switch a few times and suddenly they went back up, so all blue Just messing with me making sure I'm still alive Making sure I'm still alive paying attention You have to If that gives me more problems, I'm gonna have to look into that for now. I think it's good a little bit sticky switch Maybe We'll see. All right to the bathroom wait wait wait wait Don't forget your seatbelt Seatbelts. Oh, yes That was just for fun. I don't need to rev my engine like that. I know But I do it anyway Try and stop me That's it Back have a shower and sit on the couch and do nothing It's gonna be great It's too bad that we all know that I'm never gonna just sit and do nothing. That's almost impossible for me My mirrors came in though I'll be installing these this week this weekend. Hopefully for each side there got a few other things that came in and I still have to install the train horns Ah So much to do all the time and so little time I'll be leaving on my next trip first thing Monday morning again So we'll see what we have time for this weekend, but for now all blue is tucked away in her shop And I want to go home
