 Another beautiful day, cloudy but it's warmer at least. I don't even really need this. Yeah, it's going to be a good day. It's a good day to finish those Christmas lights. So I got all the way around the house except this corner here. It ends right there. You see that behind all the wires? Got lots of wires in this yard. These are just cable for like cable internet and TV and stuff. I got to go around that side there yet. So we got a little bit of work to do today yet but at least the weather is agreeing with us. How's everybody doing? Where's everybody? Where's everybody? The two little guys over there. Got a Chevy right here. Where's Wazel? Wazel? Oh, there he is. Oh, he left a present. Okay. Okay, we'll just let him do his thing there. Hey diesel, you little ball fluff over here. You're just a big ball of fluff. So we've got a little bit of heavy hearts in the family today. My grandpa's test results came back and they came back positive. He has COVID-19. He's pushing 90 years old. He's around 90 years old. He's still pretty healthy for a guy at that age. He's doing stable right now but he does have a couple of, you know, few underlying health issues. So if they do, if it does get worse and he were to need an ICU and a ventilator, they can't do that for him because of his other health issues. So he isn't able to go to the ICU if it gets worse. Right now they have him stable but it doesn't look good for if it starts to get bad and he starts deteriorating. So I just ask that you guys keep him in your prayers and keep us in your prayers. My mom is his caregiver. She was with him right when he went into the ambulance to go home. Well, at his home when he went to the hospital and we just got the news now saying that his test came back positive and that there's not much they can do if he starts deteriorating. So there's a very good chance he'll be fine that he'll get through this as long as things don't get worse. So that's the news on grandpa. Getting very close to home and mom is also isolating as well now and watching for symptoms. It's crazy world man. It's crazy. So we're going to try and have a good day but we're also going to remember that there are a lot of people just down the street at the hospital not having such a good day including grandpa. And of course he's there all by himself. No one's allowed to go visit him. I can't imagine how difficult that must be for his kids and my mom. He's our last grandparent and my grandma passed away a few years back just after Christmas. That was mom's mom and this is my mom's dad and you know she can't even go and see him. No one can. He's there all by himself and the doctors are just stretched thin. The nurses are stretched thin. Our country or our town here is still the hotspot of the country. So we're still on lockdown. A lot of people getting sick. Everybody seems to know somebody. Everybody's got somebody who's sick right now. It's crazy man. You know I used to have a much different opinion. I used to be very skeptical and thought that I knew more than doctors who have studied this kind of stuff their entire lives and careers and you know there's a lot of people out there who know what they're talking about. I don't. I don't know what's going on. I've told you this before. I have no idea what's going on. I don't know what this is. All I can do is just listen to the people who do know what this is. Every adventure starts. Drive thru is closed. Drive thru is closed. They're closed. Oh no. They did not shut down Tim's. Let's go read what it says on their door. It's closed. It's completely closed. They must have had an outbreak here. Oh no. Okay we're going to the other Tim's. We're all going to die. Oh boy. I'm just going to go read what it says on their door there so we know what's going on here. Huh. I wonder what happened. There's people inside there. I wonder if their system crashed. Maybe. The sign on the window there just says they're open to serve you at the drive thru. I saw that from here. But that has been determined to be a lie. Tim A what are you doing? Maybe that their system crashed or maybe their drive thru box cacked out when they need a service repairment. They're asking for trouble though. People are going to be mad. It's funny how people think that they can go in though. Yeah people keep trying to go in. Watch this guy. He's going to try to go in. Nope. Sorry bud. I know they well everyone's assuming since drive thru is closed that you must have to go inside. It's upsetting that they don't even have a sign up like even just take a piece of paper make a makeshift sign. Tell your customers what's going on. This must have just happened though because there's still more people coming up beside me here. Yeah. And another guy just pulled in. I guess we're going to the other Tim's. I don't know what's going on but if this is the end I love you guys. It's been a good run. It's been a good run. 32 years. 32 years. So Britt was just saying that when she worked at Tim's this used to happen where the chase system would crash so you couldn't pay with debit or credit. You had to pay with cash. Well they're discouraging that right now so it could very well be something that simple that the chase system is down. So they have to wait for someone to repair it or call in and get it fixed over the phone. I don't know but Timmy's is closed. This is going to be front page news tomorrow. Tim Hortons shuts down all panic ensues. So this is a crisis. Not only are we dealing with this pandemic Tim's shutdown. This can't be good. We're about to go check out the other Tim's though. So if that one's still open we're okay and it was just just that store. That's okay. We're following like a parade of vehicles. All of those vehicles turning that they were also at that Tim's. It's like a parade from that Tim Hortons to the next Tim Hortons. Oh this guy too. That's funny. Please be open. I see people in the drive through. I see people in the drive through. Okay that's a good sign. All right we're at our backup Timmy's. Oh thank god. They're open but they got a little bit of increased business I see. It's okay we can wait. It's worth it. Super duper. Have a great day. So close. He said something. Yes he did. That's an improvement. Maybe we should come to this Tim's from now on. Make the other Tim's our backup Tim's. Oh my. All right so we've got the boys packed up here. We got our Timmy's. We're going on a little bit of an adventure. We hear that there's a dog park in Niverville which is a small town in southeastern Manitoba. It's in Hanover still so it's not too far away. We'll see see what it's all about and if there's no one else there we're gonna let the boys run around and stress their legs a little bit and see if it's open. I want to hear something that's very annoying and every local will get it. People who drive in the left lane all the way from Steinbach to Blumenart. One of my biggest pet peeves. Emily my parents actually lived here when I was born. I was born not here in this town but we lived here and then a year after that we moved to St. Pierre and then we moved to Blumenart and then we moved back to Niverville and then I moved out to Winnipeg. You guys moved a lot. I lived in one house. But this is new. This was not here. They have a traffic light now. I forget. I forgot that I saw that on on the news a while back. It made the news. It made it. Niverville got a traffic light. Look at this. Here we go. This place has blown up exponentially though. Like there are so many people here. Yeah a lot of city people moving out of the city to here because this this town is a lot closer to the city than Steinbach. Like Winnipeg. When we say the city we mean it's Winnipeg. We know Steinbach's city but it isn't really a city. It's our town. I think my sisters went to school here for a while. Wow this place has changed. Co-op got a got a facelift also. They got new pumps. Country snacks. That's what it's called. Very fancy. Wow. Way to go Niverville. Way to go. Super duper. Neato. Neato indeed. I'm going to park in one of these parking spots here. Right here. It's like I was saying a lot of childhood memories here in Niverville. Our church growing up was also based out of Niverville here. That lady's going there without them. Oh I thought she was walking in without a mask. I'll say whoa. That's just going to get in trouble. Yeah a lot of they have a country fair. I think it's called the Niverville old time country fair. I think that's what it's called. Every year they have a fair in town here. This summer I'm guessing is probably going to be canceled like every other fun event because 2021 is just going to be a sequel of 2020. That's what I'm thinking. This is where we used to have our family gatherings when I was a kid because our family is so big we'd rent the arena. Not the curling club but the arena here. So this is the off-leash dog park entrance. No parking here babe. No parking. That way. Okay well we'll park over here then. I'm a Chevy. I have special parking privileges. All right boys doesn't look like anyone else is here. Oh look there's agility stuff. Yeah that's what I was saying. What? So we're the only ones here which is good because we didn't want our dogs mingling with other dogs and stuff during this whole search. So we're the only ones here. Cool. You guys ready? Chevy is very excited. He's pumped. This is gonna be fun. This is gonna be very fun. Chevy you're gonna be scared of all the agility things? Yep. All right boys. All right. It's ready. It's ready. Excited. Oh boy. Go go go go. Go go go. Chevy. Lots to sniff. Lots to sniff. Yeah this is the dog park. Look at this. This is fancy. I wonder if we can get Diesel to jump through this thing? Maybe. There's all kinds of agility stuff. Come through. Diesel come here. Chevy come. Chevy come here. No here. Here here Chevy. Okay come here. Come on. Chevy. Chevy come here. Oh good boy. Okay Chevy you don't like the jumping that much. We can get them to go up this. We can Diesel. Come here. Good boy Diesel. Good boy Chevy. Well at least they can do that one. We've done a couple others. Give them some credit. Come here again Diesel. Can you do the big one? Diesel. Diesel. Come here. Come on. No up here. Good try. You're trying. Try again. Come on. Start over here. Okay Diesel. And you go up. Good boy. I'm just gonna scare you. I trusted you. That one's a little wobbly. Something's wrong with him. Go for it Chevy. Oh shoot. Is it? Yeah there's some pieces underneath. Oh good boy Chevy. Oh is that good water? Is that good water? Refreshing? Very full man. Very very nice. Any more? Are you good? You're good? Want some more water? There's some more in the bowl. You got more right there in your bowl. Look. This is actually pretty cool. I wish Steinbach had something like this. Hint. Hint. Hint. Hint. Not trying to hint or anything but. So when I was a kid this and this. These were the only buildings here. That's the arena. That's where the Niverville Clippers played. We played against them. I played for Landmark but we had our family gatherings in that building on my dad's side because there's a well you you've seen our family gatherings in the past right? We have over 200 people in that family. My dad had 17 brothers and sisters in that family. This curdling rink was here. Those apartments were not there. It was just an empty field and this whole thing here is the high school apparently. They moved the high school. The high school used to be in the center of town and now they built this out here. That's all new. I've never seen that before. Looks like it's still being built. There's still construction crews here. So lots has changed since I've been in this town. It's looking great. You've been doing a good job Niverville. You guys ready to go? Yeah I think they're getting tired. Yeah. Just grab the water in the bowl and we'll be on our way. So if you are in southeast Manitoba it's a nice dog park in Niverville behind the arena beside the curling club. A little hidden way back here. That's a little hidden gem. It really is. I think we'll come back. Absolutely. All right boys come here. Come here. Up you go. It's time to go. Just in time. Someone else came with their dogs. All right. That was fun. You know exactly where they're going. There they go. You know what buddy? After the world is in a better spot we'll let you make lots of friends. Yeah we'll let you make friends then okay. Right now it's just not a good time. At least you have your brother now. Remember when we just had the two littles he always seemed so out of place so lonely. This outdoor rink was not here last time I was here either. That is awesome. I am impressed with Niverville. It used to be just you know just like a little village little town nothing special but now this is like everything is really nice here. Yeah. This is where I told you guys in the vlog several times that when I took my driver's test I was in a gravel parking lot and I didn't put my signal on to leave my parking spot in the gravel parking lot. I got points against me for that. That was this parking lot right here in front of us. This is the culprit. I was parked close to that pole right there. This is where I took my driver's test when I was 16 just my regular license and I did not signal when I turned left to go out the driveway in a gravel parking lot. I got five points against me for that. You have to signal even in parking lots even in gravel parking lots apparently. Coming up to the intersection 59311 they put up traffic lights here and there was still an accident by the looks of it. I hope that school bus wasn't involved. Oh jeez. Oh no. Oh this pickup is going to want to come in front of us here. Why did it take him so long to realize that? He was mesmerized by all the shiny lights. I guess so yeah. Oh there's a school bus right there. Oh no. Oh that's a bad one. It wasn't the school bus. That just happened. Yikes. Fire departments are just getting there. Oh everybody's gonna go and take a look at it. Or don't cause another accident people. Oh they wanted to turn left. Yeah. Now that road's closed they still can't go that way. They're gonna have to go on the gravel roads. Oh people. There's gravel roads, the grid roads every mile road. Just go around on the gravel. Yikes. Gravel scare city people. Yeah. Oh they got the highway shut down over here or this is just another mountain coming. So the school bus wasn't involved it was probably just a witness probably just happened right in front of that driver. There was a car who hit the back end of a box truck, just a tandem truck without a trailer and went underneath it and it looked like the bumper went right into the passenger seat by the looks of it like through the windshield. Oh I hope nobody was sitting there but I hope the driver learned a very valuable lesson. Watch what you're doing and slow down. I don't know one of them must have run the red because there's traffic lights there. Yeah. Here comes another mountain. Oh it's an ambulance. It's nice to see that a lot of people are actually following the laws though and pulling over. Usually you just see all kinds of people not carrying and just flying past you anyways and trying to beat the ambulance. Yeah a lot of times but they just don't even notice the flashing lights in their mirror and they just they don't get out of the way. Those are the people that cause accidents because they're not aware of their surroundings. Yeah. I saw the guy behind me who wanted to blow past me but he had a moment of conscience just before then and pulled him onto the shoulder behind me. I was watching him too. He would have got you on film buddy. Yeah he just about made it on to YouTube. It's a nice Cadillac too. That's actually the intersection where my oppa my dad's dad died. He was t-boned or rear-ended. Bad accident anyways in 93 I believe 1993 and he died at that intersection. That was long before they put up those traffic lights and apparently those traffic lights still aren't preventing every accident. These people aren't paying attention. Then again we don't know what happened. Maybe there was some explanation but there's always someone at fault though but what I find funny is when people are at fault they still try to blame it on someone else. We live in a society where people do not take responsibility and always look to blame others for anything in their path. And there's another one coming. Cadillac gonna blow past us this time too. No he's following your lead. Right there uh like we were saying before people don't look behind them. He saw him at the last moment that he was flying up behind him and he slammed on the brakes. I understand the instinct to want to just slam on the brakes when you see emergency lights in your rear view mirror but not exactly the best decision. All right guys we just got a little bit of a snowfall okay. Diesel you coming out too. And maybe a little bit snowy out there okay. We just had a bunch of snowfall this evening while I was live streaming. You wanna see it? You wanna see it? Come on boys. Come on. Let's go this way. Britt and I get so excited when we see snow. I love snow. I just don't like it on the road. And it's actually on the road sort of. But everywhere else it makes everything look so clean and fresh you know. You done there little wiener? No you wanna go back in? Oh dear. All right there you go. Don't go on my side of the bed. I know he's gonna jump right on my pillow I bet. Maybe we get really excited. Christmas lights are up there. Looking good. Looking good. I haven't gotten any more done. I got I'll have to I'll have to work on it tomorrow a little bit but hopefully I don't want to get those icicles hanging up yet. Those are my favorite Christmas lights. The icicles that hang down. You done little buddy? Just the big guys are left. And that's it for tonight everybody. It's time to crawl into bed and cozy up. Start me get a little chill or you're out. Can't wait to climb under the covers and fall fast asleep. I'll see you right here tomorrow morning. Don't forget to subscribe and hit that like button.
