 Hey everybody, today is not gonna be too much of a video. I'm just getting a head start on tomorrow. I'm starting pretty late I didn't film much while I was at home once again enjoyed my time at home got a lot of stuff done We went to a wedding one of Brit's friends got married on Saturday It was really fun really fun Sunday What if I do something did a lot of errands running around today's Monday today's pretty much just getting ready to go Got all blue washed Cleaned up ready for the road and I've got a new step deck behind me now. Just picked it up at the yard We're gonna go to canora Another canora run. I'm not sure if we're going back to Brainerd or not, but chances are high That's the case then I'm going back to Brainerd. All I know is I'm picking up tomorrow morning in canora So I want to get there again so that I can get loaded first thing Get on the road because if we are going to Brainerd, I'll be able to unload tomorrow yet We make the most out of this week I washed the truck myself before I left and I forgot to wash the windshield and the top of the hood Because reasons that I can't come up with right now. I don't know choose an excuse pick your favorite one That's why I didn't do it We're gonna have to stop by Petropasca some fuel anyways And deacons corner on the east side of Winnipeg and it will wash that window down then as well Make our way to canora Hopefully we don't meet any more bears as I haven't met anymore since that one so Bears ye be warned We are officially rocking and rolling That's a nice Western Star there. It's a nice owner-op that owns it I'm thinking about putting the big herd moose bumper on the front of my truck The big it's called the road train made by herd. I Believe they're made right in Winnipeg too So locally made I wasn't sure if that's the road I wanted to go but I Do want to protect this truck because if you end up hitting a deer or anything It could be a lot of downtime Just waiting for parts Right There's new Cascadia over there Who's that? Who are you? Are you new? What's the unit number on that thing? That a company truck? It's got to be owner-op Welcome new person welcome welcome welcome. You're gonna love it here. I Guarantee it. This is my 11th year. No October 26th. It'll officially be 11 years Since I was first hired here A lot has changed since then but it's all been good. I've really enjoyed it. I Mean obviously I can't speak for everybody But I think I speak for the overwhelming majority when I say that we like it here into the night We will be trucking Into the duck of the night Hopefully not hitting any bears There's deacons corner right there and we got the green light hey Better be a long enough green that I can get through Sometimes they make those so short fuel pumps are right there Whoa Where are you going going on circles? You just wanted to What's the park over there? He's probably scared that I was gonna take that spot and a race in front of me She needs some go-go juice and some food. I Forgot my bread at home. I Usually a bread to make sandwiches with Buy some more bread. So I've made it here. I'm gonna sleep right here till the morning There's two other trucks here as well. We're probably gonna get loaded before me Would make sense because they're here before me The sign still says that the gate opens at 7 a.m. But last time remember what happened. I got to the gate at 6 59 and there was already three trucks Inside the gate waiting to get loaded. I Don't know how they got through the gate because it's one of those gates It's like a power arm you like push a button and it goes to security or something in there And then that's seven o'clock. They start opening the gate for the drivers Well, they got in before 7 a.m. Doesn't really matter to me. I Probably won't be at the gate exactly at 7 tomorrow either but Shortly after right around that time whenever I can Whenever I can get going on my day. I haven't figured that out yet. I'm I'm too tired It's been a long day, even though I didn't drive very far. It's It's time for bed. I don't got diesel with me on this trip. I haven't set up my bed yet But I don't have diesel so it's it's a little less Responsibility in the morning for me I don't have to walk diesel first thing in the morning and I also don't have to feed him He gets his breakfast every morning this week. He's staying at home with the family He's staying with Chevy and the Franks and Brit He's he's happy at home. Like don't get me wrong He loves coming on the truck too, and he really wanted to come he He did sort of Chevy Chevy doesn't really know what he wants because as soon as he gets in the truck He regrets his decision. He's not a road dog But I've been meaning to take him on a trip again soon just to see if that's changed Used to be that you'd get so excited to go in the truck He'd be so excited then you get him in the truck 15 minutes down the road, and he's like, all right. I'm done. Take me home Where his diesel is always excited he loves being on the road with me But he also loves being at home. He's 11 years old now And I don't want to take all of his golden years for myself I think it's not fair to be selfish with him that way even though he probably would love to come along on every trip Brit really loves him as well, and I think it's important to share him and Let him have his you know his retirement At home as well So we're not just alone traveling on the road all time But he also gets to relax and you know wrestle with Chevy throw Chevy around Chevy is way bigger than him But he still lets diesel Win when they fight It's very obvious Yeah, I'm gonna go back there into the blue sleeper make my bed crawl into it close my eyes and Drift off to an amazing land of dreams Where I can do anything I want to do and be anyone I want to be I can even fly sometimes pretty awesome pretty awesome I love dream world. I Like to take dream world certain parts of it and bring it into reality sometimes like an example of that It's all blue this truck itself used to be in my dreams now here it is I didn't know exactly what it was gonna look like but You know for the longest time. I've always wanted a Kenwood W 900 This has always been my dream truck, and I'm living my dream right now And I'm so thankful that I have the opportunity to do that But I never knew quite what it was gonna look like I sort of wanted a studio sleeper It's just a bigger sleeper. It's deeper. It's higher. It's got the windows up here And after the longest time that's I was convinced that's what I wanted But then I started doing city work, and then I wanted to start doing this regional work Which is working out great by the way this position. I'm in right now. I love it This is the perfect balance. I think it's been working out great for my family and I Been loving it but anyways, I don't need such a big Sleeper if I'm not going to be in here for like four or five weeks at a time I just needed enough for me. There's only one bed in here, which is You know if I'd look if I would have seen into the future when I was younger So it surprised me because I always wanted two beds I still sort of do because when I have kids one day I definitely want to give them the same experience of traveling on the road with dad that I had with my dad It's just we're not gonna be able to sleep in the truck together unless if I can install like us a second bed I bet you I could get Kenworth to install a second bed. Just something that thing. I Don't know. I don't really want that clutter in here, right? And I don't know if it'll work with the shelving in here I was just thinking I'll take my kids with me on a couple of trips here and there And we'll just stay in motels For the night, but that doesn't always work either because like tonight. I'm sleeping at the customer. There's nothing here There's no like they don't even leave an outhouse out here for us. I mean, there's a bush over there That works but And the bed's not quite big enough for two people to sleep in I don't know. I could think of something. I could think of something I could maybe like make another platform in here put sponge mattress in here So the entire back including this area here is bed So it's like a wider bed. If I have a small kid, it'd be easier but I will figure that out when the time comes. Yeah, like I said, it was it's not exactly the truck I had always said I was gonna buy I was gonna buy the W9 with the studio sleeper No, I changed my mind actually but a year ago that I wanted something smaller for regional. I wanted the flat top sleeper and This is very close to that the flat top sleeper is actually like literally just like a Flat with the cab this goes up a little bit so I can actually stand up back there so I'm very happy with this purchase very happy dream come true like I said and running great Life's going good life is going good Good night everybody. I've been rambling here for seven minutes now. Wow, you're still listening to me You must like me or something Makes me feel good. Thank you. If somebody likes me, I Don't have very many enemies. I don't think I don't think I have any enemies. I try to I Try to be friends with everybody, you know I want to give everybody a good shot everybody needs a friend And of course I need friends too all the time and I don't want to be someone who people don't want to be friends with I Went through some rough times in my younger years. That's the topic for another video and You know, I got really mean it sometimes when I was a kid like school elementary school and high school Sometimes But I always regretted it very much. So and I made a pledge to myself that in my life I want to make sure I'm a guy that's always nice kind Though I don't always succeed in that I sometimes I get upset and Sometimes I just meet people. I just don't like them. I Still try to be nice to them. Thanks for watching everybody. Thanks for being here. Thanks for being my friend and We'll see you tomorrow's video. There'll be more substance in tomorrow's video. It'll be more like regular vlog Not just nighttime like this
