 Morning everybody. I Am the only one here today. That's why I'm still in the tarp shed Got this thing all tarped up ready to go And yes, if there was someone else here, of course, I would have moved out so that they could get their tarps on but if no one Else is here May as well tarp it all inside Yeah, it looks like a pretty Christmas present. Yes, me. I Can't believe I'm the only one here. I got to the gate at I was here with 6 30 a.m. They opened the gate at 7 a.m. I and I'm the only one here still. I'm already done in part I don't know where everyone else is The twilight zone weird usually just super busy here in the mornings when I get here music 10 15 drops I'm the only one Am I supposed to be here they gave me my load right Today's special shout-out goes to our friends house products and find a link to their website down below my video in the description All the diesel treatment products Best of the best go check them out. I'm on my way down to Brainerd now We'll be unloaded this afternoon and I have a 9 a.m. Appointment tomorrow morning to get reloaded in Minneapolis or Shakopee and I take that load back to Winnipeg And I'll deliver that the next morning. We'll go from there What's the solar eclipse today when I'm filming this and I'm not gonna get to see it cuz The whole sky is covered in clouds That's too bad I don't have solar eclipse glasses anyway, so I wouldn't be able to look at it And I think where I am we're only getting a partial eclipse and that'll be in About an hour or two. I think that's the totality yet I'll be able to tell you later on in this vlog, but I don't think I'm gonna get to see it at all And this where I am here in Minnesota. We're not in the path of totality either But maybe but maybe I'll get to see the sky dark in a little bit Maybe We'll see it's pretty cool. You know, I'm kind of kicking myself. I wish I would have Made the effort to go and see it like fly out and see it somewhere but Hopefully within my lifetime it'll happen again somewhere on earth in a country that I can go visit We can use that as a great excuse to go take a family vacation Not a good time for us to go traveling right now. We got a gotta keep working Plus it's difficult to travel with a one-year-old Not impossible, but You know, if we're gonna go traveling with a one-year-old we're gonna make it worthwhile and go somewhere, especially, you know Not necessarily spend all the money and make all the efforts to go see an eclipse Which could damage his eyes anyway, right? How do you keep I guess you have to leave him in the car? Or like you have to stay in the car with him But how do you prevent a baby from looking up at the solar eclipse, right? I'm sure there's ways, but I wouldn't want to risk it, you know damages eyes Probably not a good idea this guy getting any darker. So I guess I was too far away from the Path of totality or whatever they call it cloudy. So No eclipse for me That's so disappointing, you know, especially people that are in the path and they've been waiting for years and years to see it Must be so disappointing when it's cloudy inside and not in the rain here It looks like it's sort of trying to turn the snow sort of snowing raining Snaining snow raining. It's Celsius. So it's probably like 40 Fahrenheit. I don't expect it to get slippery It's so close to the road like this these houses right by the road owner property taxes are less than if you're right beside a busy road You would think so, right? But then again, you're right beside a busy road. So you have better access to Getting out of the neighborhood, right? Maybe that balances it out Hey, it's tough to tell how property tax works. I see you there Monticello, Minnesota Just on this side of Minneapolis. Oh, we'll make that decision later, but There's not really any good truck stops close to Shakopee There is truck parking at the McDonald's in Shakopee, but it is only 30 minute parking And I don't want to get a knock on my door in the middle of the night telling me to move or get towed It's here. It looks like I should be able to take my tarps off inside Sometimes when it gets busy We take our tarps off outside at this location the other location. We always take our tarps off inside. I Like that better especially in rainy weather like this. I don't want to roll up my tarps outside on the wet ground Even though they're already all wet anyway, but they get dirty that way I don't like I don't like them touching the ground if they don't have to All right, I'm getting all my shoes and everything else on love the log No going to talk to them first see if they won't be in there Folder here at ease so that I can show it to them right away on a clipboard a blue one obviously has a blue pen blue steering wheel a blue shifter That's why my truck's called old blue the blue sweater I'll give you three guesses as to what my favorite color is We got to go ahead to go inside and un-tarp inside the building Why am I putting my seatbelt on whatever whatever now you can't tell me Just go on across the lot Not even I know you're gonna comment that if I didn't Even if I move it just a couple of feet better put your seatbelt on be a good example choker job nice and slow They'll park right up here, and then I can roll my tarps up off on the side there much better than doing it outside The tarps always get extra dirty if you roll them up on the outside ground There's some gravel back there, too. I don't like doing that If I don't have to I mean I do what I got to do right get the job done Oh, it's about an hour hour 15 minutes An empty trailer behind this I'm gonna go to the Olson truck stop Near Clearwater, Minnesota Sort of between Clearwater and Monticello, I think I was just under an hour and a half away from here. I should get there around 730 or so tonight And then I have to leave there at 7 a.m. Tomorrow not to leave there 730 tomorrow It's another hour to my pickup. It's one of those pickups where you can't be too early So the pickup appointment is 9 a.m. So I want to get there at 8 30 a.m It's about an hour from the truck stop. So I'll probably leave at about 7 15 7 30 So we'll have a good 12 hours there Once we stop you chance to get some other stuff done Truck feels so powerful when you're pulling an empty trailer truck stop This is where we're gonna spend the night decent time that we're pulling in here lots of time to Sort of relax this evening at least a couple of hours Which is not always the case usually I'm just go go go go go go I know I'll still have people coming in the driveway here past me, but they'll just be driving past I like the sound of traffic moving past me I don't know sort of Walls me to sleep like a like a little wallaby. It's diesel trucks driving back and forth past me. That'll be nice It's a beautiful evening out here Definitely don't need to idle the truck through tonight. It's like the perfect temperature. What is the temperature right now? Let's check this out. Let's check this out The temperature here in Clearwater, Minnesota is 8 degrees Celsius What is 8 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit is equal to 46.4 degrees Fahrenheit That's perfect That's perfect not too cold not too hot It's gonna be a good night. I'm gonna get a good rest So I'll see you right here in the morning. I'm gonna go and do a little bit of computer work yet I have like 12 hours. Oh 11 hours now before I have to get rolling.
