 Good morning everybody since these guys out See what the weather's like out here thinking about Taking the bike in come on guys. Come on Chevy this way Come on bud In the yard thinking about maybe taking the bike in to work today There wasn't supposed to be any rain today, but now I checked the forecast this morning and of course it changed There's a 50% chance of rain this afternoon I'll probably take the truck in today That way I can listen to my podcast on the way in to work, too I don't have my audio set up in my helmet or anything. I'd love to get a helmet where I could Have some audio set up on the bike, but usually when I'm on the motorcycle, I don't want to listen to music anyways I just want to enjoy the ride but This guy's looking good today apparently this afternoon Some showers might be coming in, but It's gonna be a good day anyways, right We'll see I got a little bit of time here to wake up have a coffee eat breakfast and Make our decision if I take the truck or the bike got a Stepdeck behind us today. It's one of our older ones. They don't have the sliding Ratchets, but that's okay. We'll work work around that Just making sure our airbags are filling up back here There they go. They're already lifting. It's good. We have air and all the tires Maybe it's lights off marker lights are on Signal lights are working What more could you want for my trailer right first thing in the morning? So I didn't take the bike into work today Maybe I should have But apparently just before I left they changed the forecast from raining this afternoon to thunderstorms starting around four o'clock Right around the time I'd be going home between four and five between four and six and Then the thunderstorms thunderstorms showers are supposed to end at about 8 p.m. So from four to eight Thunder showers over a 50% chance I'm betting nothing happens, but I took the pickup in today. Anyways, they don't want to get soaked on my way home I have electronics with me obviously here and I even if I have it in my backpack or wherever I put them I don't want to risk getting them wet and soaked on the way home Riding home in a thunderstorm So tomorrow is supposed to look like it's gonna be better Tomorrow's Wednesday Thursday and Friday are both both so far supposed to be sunny and hot all day So I'll probably ride in for the rest of the week after today Spent the morning shining up what I could on the truck You know, she doesn't shine much but What can shine will shine Remember I called that GT 40 or the Ford GT. I guess it's called a GT 500 I was wrong. I was corrected by many many people in the comments section. This is a GT 500 I don't know why I misspoke, but That red car was it just a GT That's what a GT 500 looks like and it's gorgeous Look at this line. It says it right there. See GT 500. I wish I was taking this one home This Sitting out here looking good It's a hard top convertible. I guess or did it just look that way? No, that looks like a no, it's just just looks that way just the way these cars were made back then All kinds of cars here today. Look at this. What's this? 442 Oldsmobile 442 you guys want to see something really weird. It's a BMW Vixen 21 What is this the party bus? Yes, I didn't have to go very far with the trailer just took it on to the west side of Winnipeg and Dropping it here and Bob tailing up to St. Laurent. I have a trailer I got to pick up there and bring back here as well And then I hear that there's two trailers in Selkirk that I may need to pick up yet They might send someone else. We'll see how fast I can get this done if I can find my gloves or not There they are had them beside my seat It's silly me all right, so I'm gonna leave it here with its friends. I don't know what they're gonna do with it, but I Don't really care either. I'm sure they're gonna put stuff on it And one of us is gonna come and pick it up Things to be the way things goes things goes things go Things goes things It's still too early Construction I've always thought that'd be kind of an interesting job What if you're working on the bridge and you hammer away at the wrong thing and it falls through they're fixing them I just drive on them Well this morning was pretty uneventful, but Moved a couple trailers around. I'm now back at the air and hooked up to a box. I'm checking the weather here and The weather forecast has changed a little bit as it always does there's still a chance of rain But the chance of rain has gone from 50% up to 79% and it's gonna start at 6 p.m So I might be able to have ridden home depends how long I'll be working tonight, right? It's Quarter to 20 to 3 right now Tomorrow there's like 8% chance and 7% chance on Thursday. It's gonna be really hot Friday is gonna be very very hot 37 degrees Celsius Very little chance of rain. So the next the rest of the week. I'll probably be riding the motorcycle into work but All looks good. All right, so let's go see What we have You guys ever wonder what you look like on my head. I'll give you a little behind-the-scenes footage That's you. I Don't look ridiculous you look ridiculous So I wiped down all the chrome I got selling you before and I got some bugs on it this morning already again I have to wipe those off. I know she doesn't shine a lot. She's not very shiny But like I said before the little bit and the few pieces that can shine will shine We saw take care of what's left of it All right, so I've done the pre-trip on this trailer already. I just want to check inside One thing I didn't do before so all the lights are working tires are full of air Nothing's hanging off of it trailer trailer safety And I just want to go in here and see what a clean trailer What do you guys think will it be clean? Da-na-da-na-da-na-da-na-da-na Another clean trailer. I must say I must say every trailer I've hooked on to in the last Like month or so at least has been clean So maybe we just went through a bad stretch just probably winter time when it's cold You know, we all get a little bit. I don't want to say lazy, but we all get a little bit rushed in The cold weather we all want to run back to the cab and stay warm in the cab We don't want to stay in a cold trailer and sweet. I get it, but we're still supposed to but maybe that's why I don't know That's just my thoughts. I do want to give a thumbs up to everybody We've all been keeping the trailers nice and clean Okay, so I got to bring this thing into winter peg And Pick something up and bring it back here and a highway driver is gonna take it to where it needs to be exciting stuff I know Another thumbs up to the yard guys here who have been organizing everything in the yard since the weather's gotten nice This whole area over here that used to be just scattered all over the place with all kinds of stuff Someone right over there. I'm working on it right now. Every day keeps getting cleaned up keeps looking better Everything's all organized now. They're loading it on trailers. I don't know if they're hauling it away or just storing it But it's it's organized. It looks so much better. So the yard's looking better. The trailers are looking good and clean It's been good. It's been good. Let's uh Make sure we keep this momentum going. I'm gonna keep sweeping out the trailers myself too doing my part Look at this guy here, look at him Dressed up in a Jets uniform It's a Santa Claus. Haha. I told you Santa's a Jets fan Go Jets go Construction that's what's going on here. That makes sense. I don't even know why I questioned it Oh, like what's going on here? Why is there so much traffic? Of course construction and look at look at how much work They're doing on the other side there. Look how hard they're working Even a single pile on on the other side But at least then you know the intentions are good. They got everybody onto this side that that side's clear And eventually they'll work on it So we're on Nairn Avenue right now for those of you who care We're facing eastbound. So I'm going up over Into Elmwood There's downtown over there that new Winnipeg skyscraper coming up there. They're getting pretty good progress done on it already Looks like it's the new tallest building in Winnipeg Which means that it's the tallest building in Canada between Toronto and Calgary Doing a break or anything, but Winnipeg is kind of a big deal Kind of a big deal. Not only are we the crime capital. We also got big buildings all 35 stories of them Winnipeg was supposed to be a big center hub For the west for Western Canada, but that's sort of got transferred over to Calgary and Edmonton For some reason we lost our title Just turned on a Watt Street northbound. We're here at Talbot Avenue. I'm pretty hard on Winnipeg I know I know But talk to anybody from here and they'll agree with what I'm saying We love our city, but she's flawed just a little My that bumper needs some work there, but oh dear. I bet you he hit a deer with it. Oh dear Now we're just going around the corner up here and picking up some freight Not too sure where it's going yet, but we're gonna put it in the box and bring it back This kid is watching the lights turning green right away, but you shouldn't have crossed Yikes Didn't even look oh see it works so much better when you use the crosswalk with the flashy lights you see The crossing guard with the flag much safer. Well done children. Well done. This is our one tight corner Gotta make it around this drag our trailer into the pole. That is the goal. Look at that didn't even touch the curb Like a boss 30 kilometers an hour in school though Even though no one's in school right now. They're all I think they're remote learning now I have it's hard to keep up with all the new things going on and all the everything keeps changing all the time Sort of off in my own world a lot of the time Try to pay attention. I Think the kids might be remote learning right now in Winnipeg anyways and Steinbeck's are still going to the school But I think so what do I know I'm going 30 kilometer an hour regardless. I don't know if there's kids here or not, but Just in case just in case There's some parents waiting outside, so I'm guessing I'm guessing school is in session Oh, oh, okay You can go first There you go. Well, okay. Oh now I can't go. All right, you You put me in a nice little situation there bud, thanks. Thanks All right, I'm going for it after this is this person gonna wait if not they're gonna have to back up They're not gonna wait. They're not gonna wait. They're gonna right up to the stop line You saw me coming man. All right, we made it work. We made it work. Oh good. Oh good. It's just like in hockey keep your head up Especially when you're coming up to an intersection keep your head up. See we see what's going on All right, we're just about to our destination here. I'm gonna put the stuff in the trailer Lock her up and I'll talk to you after And you see I made the right decision today not riding my motorcycle to work I Was second-guessing myself But that's good. We'll be done once we get back to the yards 10 to 5 we'll get back to the yard Probably around like 5 30 got to go through rush hour traffic now But at least I know that I didn't lose out On a day's ride usually a little rain wouldn't bother me that much, right? But like I told you before I have all these electronics with me And I I can't afford to let them get wet in my backpack And I don't have any compartments on that bike either another reason why I sort of wanted a cruiser motorcycle was so that I could Have maybe some saddlebags, you know or or something that I could wrap it in a plastic You know wrap my electronics in a plastic bag keep it in there so they don't get wet You know I could ride in weather like this a little bit Not that I want to ride in the rain that much. Nobody likes riding in the rain but Yeah, there's there's only one small storage compartment on my bike and that's underneath the rear seat and there's just enough room in there for about I don't know the the owner's manual. That's about it We'll see maybe I can get myself on to more of a cruiser Sometime yet We'll see what happens First I got to get out of this traffic. No, where's that Jeep think it's going? You still got a red light man We're moving up. We're moving up. Don't don't don't Okay Okay, now don't take my lane that space there is for me Bugs me that I'm waiting at an intersection like that I'm waiting for enough space for my truck to fit right and just as I start rolling into the intersection like two or three cars cut In there and block my lane and fill it up so that now I'm stuck in the intersection blocking the intersection. You know what I'm talking about Again, you got to keep your head up look around. Oh, there's a big truck coming. He needs that space Starting to come down pretty good. Look at this. I'm really glad I'm not riding home now. That'd be a miserable ride home Now I get to sit inside my pickup truck, you know choose my own climate Maybe I'll be cold and I'll want some heat. Maybe I'll be hot and I'll want some air conditioning You know, I have the options now that I'm in my pickup on the way home The air conditioning in this truck is working great, too And icicles gonna start forming on the top of my cab here. I love it. I like it cold Just not wet wet and cold bad. I don't like to be wet when I'm cold I am picky aren't I? Nothing too big just half a house rolling down the road after work Oh, here comes the other half anyone order a house It's on the way Amazon delivery Crazy how they I've been seeing them move down this highway more and more I wonder where they're coming from like did they come from Steinback? There's not much down the 59 here We've got St. Pierre that we got St. Molo We got like Rolls River that whole area and then you hit the US you get to Lancaster, Minnesota It's probably cuz we're Steinback. I bet maybe gruntful I wonder who's building houses out there Kind of a crazy time to be pulling a house down the road the middle of rush hour, but oh My to do it not like I'm a trucker or anything like what would I know about traffic patterns? I would have pulled it through here at night to be honest with you or if you have to go during the day I would have gone between I don't know 10 a.m. To 12 That two-hour period probably be best But after lunch you get the early goers that get to leave work early they get on the road and Lunchtime you get all the lunch people going to get their lunch break But between like, you know 10 even 9 to 12 and everyone's pretty much at work by that point and they're in the morning rush Roads are clear But around now around 6 o'clock. How you getting the tail end of rush hour? I mean, it's not like they're coming through here right at 5 o'clock, but I Don't know I wonder who makes those decisions or if they even think about it or do they just you know? Whenever we're ready, we'll just give her I Don't care if it's in the middle of the highest traffic volume time. I don't care where you're getting give her Even after this like at 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock this time of year. It's still bright outside Whatever. Yeah, it's just my idea my my my inner thoughts being broadcast to the world through YouTube Welcome to my brain. It doesn't have to make sense. What do you guys think? I? Mean this is a two-lane road. It's not like it's a busy interstate It's not like it's the what is that freeway between Chicago a Gary, Indiana and Indianapolis? I was at the I-65 right that highway is nuts That's nuts. This is this is nothing little farm road compared to that I could have ridden my motorcycle to work after all because as you can see the rain is over there now So confusing, you know, I'm just gonna do it. I'm just gonna do it tomorrow. We're taking the bike to work. I don't care
