 And it forced me to have to stay an extra hour this morning log into driving. I know rookie mistake. Couldn't use the split hour rule either because I hadn't stopped for at least a two hour break anywhere throughout my day. So the split hour rule wanted to extend my hour over to 10 hours and allowed me to get going. We're still gonna make this a good day. I've got a coffee with me right here. Had a good breakfast and I'm headed home which is the best part. I gotta bring this load that I have behind me to our yard south of Winnipeg. This weekend that's coming up for me because I filmed these in advance so it'll get released a little later. So I understand that. This weekend is Canada Day where we celebrate the birthday of our nation of Canada and it's also Independence Day where our neighbors and us celebrate their independence until Wednesday next week off. Barbecue's planned, we're getting together with some friends, getting together with some family. Enjoy the good summer weather a little bit before we get back to work again. And that's last night though and kicked myself into driving. See what happens for those of you who don't drive truck as soon as you start rolling forward and you go above something like three miles an hour or something like five kilometers an hour it'll automatically push you into driving. It'll say that you're driving your truck. You are now driving on the logbook and you can't change that without approval from the office, right? And then explained it and they probably would have helped me out. Maybe I don't know what their obligations are on their end. I didn't even ask. Maybe they wouldn't be able to do anything. I don't want to say what they can or can't do. I could have explained myself and see if we could like erase that like 30 seconds of driving. But you know what I woke up this morning, truck ready to go. I only had to sit just a little bit extra anyway. So it was okay, we made it work. We made it work and I feel good because I'm going home. Figured I could make use of the split hour rule in the U.S. You can either do a two to eight hour split or a three to seven hour split. It's a two hour break sometimes throughout my day. Now this is something new that I've just learned. I was not familiar with the split sleeper birth, sleeper split off duty hours of service regulation in the U.S. until very recently. I would always just stop for my 10 hours just to make sure I was covered for birth into two sections. But you got to be very sneaky and careful while not sneaky. You got to be very careful about it because the government is very sneaky with how they made it. It's very confusing. Canada's hours of service, the way we can split up our 10 hours, I feel is a little bit better. You can go into the sleeper birth for eight hours and then the last two hours you can split up throughout your day in half hour increments. Not so in the U.S. You can stop for two or three hours and borrow that from your 14. And then when you stop, it sort of pauses your 14 hour clock for that three hours, right? And then when you stop, you finish off the rest of your 10 hours but then you don't get a full day back. In Canada, you get your full day back then. No, no, in the U.S. you don't get your full day back. You only get the hours back that you didn't use before the end of your break. I know, it doesn't make any sense, right? I had to, I had to go through many YouTube videos and many descriptions of detailed descriptions of how this all works. Leave that flatbed, pardon me, step deck, drop deck, whatever you want to call it. We're gonna leave it there. We're gonna grab a box. That one right there looks very nice. I like it. We're gonna grab that one. We're gonna take that one back down to Thief River Falls. We're gonna do another rounder. So I'm empty. I can cross through from Tolstoy, Manitoba to Lancaster, Minnesota. You can't cross through there with goods but if you're empty, you can cross through there before 6 p.m., I believe. So go down there, drop the empty van and grab on to another loaded step deck just like the one I brought up. Bring it back here, drop it in the middle of the yard where they can unload it next week sometime, and then go home. Make a little bit of extra money this week yet and you're gonna squeak one more load in. So I've got my tarps inside the van trailer just to bring them down there with me. Then I'll take them out of the van and put them onto the flatbed. I just have to take them with me everywhere I go. They're like, I call them my little tarp children. They have to come with me everywhere I go. Strap to me. Otherwise they might disappear. Another beautiful prairie sunset, nine o'clock at night. That flatbed behind me or step deck, just got to drop it in our yard. So we've already been down and dropped the van, hooked onto this one and I've been booking it back. I had to stop for a little bit to make a slight repair to my visor. This part that's two-way taped to my window here, that's how it's stabilized, it came loose. And then as I was trying to fix that, the rubber piece came loose from the metal piece, which means that now the metal piece would be resting against my windshield. And that's not good, because it's gonna crack in, it's going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack against the windshield like that, right? So I had to stop at a hardware store, grab some super glue, some new screws, and I actually screwed that rubber piece onto the metal bracket of my visor and put super glue in between there as well, or gorilla glue, same thing. And then got some new two-piece tape for on my window. But unfortunately, I think my window was a little too moist or wet after I'd wiped it, and it's not sticking to my window as well as I'd like it to. It's sticking, but I'm gonna have to redo it this weekend sometime, just that little piece between that rubber mallet and the windshield. Because I don't have a bar going up the middle of my window here, I have a one-piece windshield, that's how 12-gauge customs builds their visors, and that's the way it stabilizes it so that it doesn't go flopping around, right? I didn't know that for the longest time, I had a strap running in there and we were gonna try to figure out how to stabilize it so I called the guys at 12-gauge, and they're like, well, did you two-way tape it to the windshield? No. No. So that solved all my problems this week, but I gotta get it right. I haven't quite got it right yet, so that's the thing with these aftermarket accessories. You sort of gotta fiddle with them for a little bit just till you get it just right. I still like it. Just getting home a lot later than I wanted to now because of that. That took me two hours, believe it or not, to figure that all out and get to the hardware store, get the supplies I needed. We did that in Thief River Falls. That slowed me down a little bit, but I'm still gonna make it. I still got plenty of time on my hours. I'm about an hour away from the yard now, so I was hoping to be sitting at home already holding Theo, but plans don't always work out, right? It's okay, I took this extra load to Thief River just for a couple extra bucks because next week is, like I said, Canada Day and Independence Day. So this whole continent is going to be celebrating for a few days. I'll be back at work on Wednesday after the long weekend. We've got a bunch of plans. Hopefully we can get some fireworks in somewhere. Quickly gonna drop this trailer. Ah, chipped myself in the face with a strap. I enrolled this one up for me in Brainerd. Look at it. I've never seen a tarp rolled up so tight. That's pretty. Now my floor towels, laundry, everything else out of here. I had to give another shout out to the Odyssey Truck Mattress. Ah, such great mattresses. Honestly, I sleep so well in there. I have all of the surface, all of my floor surface in my truck covered in towels. So much easier. You just gently pull these out at the end of your trip, tear them out outside a bit, go wash them, bring them back. Floor is always clean. Much easier to clean this than scrubbing the floor beneath it. And if I forgot something, I can always come back and get it tomorrow. Let's go home. Good night, Oblo. Good night. Brian? There he is. Looking at me like I'm late. Hi. Hi. I'm finally home. I'm gonna wash my hands and clean up and then I can pick you up, okay? Yeah. Hey.
