 There's my load right there Safely delivered Good morning everybody. We just delivered our freight Ready to go home We picked those up in Drummondville, Quebec Brought them through northern Ontario with both Full two-day drive full two-day drive. I turned it into like two and an eighth two days a little bit because I stopped in Canora last night We filmed the rest of today. We sort of combined the first part of today with The last vlog before then There's the video before then with me just cruising through northern Ontario Not really doing or saying anything just focusing on getting here as fast as possible It was clean I'm getting new glasses in a couple of months. These are still doing the trick I guess If I can keep them clean it's so hard to keep them clean When I first got these were my first pair of glasses ever right? I didn't quite know how to clean them properly and I ended up scratching them a lot Now I know better Okay Let's get back to the yard. Let's go bring this empty trailer back to the yard I got to pick up some equipment that was left there of mine on that old shingoload from like two weeks ago I gotta finally get that equipment back You gotta you gotta stay on them to get your equipment back. Otherwise it just disappears, right? It's expensive stuff So I'm gonna go get that back and we'll see I'd like to rotate the tires on my truck my drive tires crisscross like Left rear to front right Cross them like that We'll see you by of time. I need to get home by supper. Make sure I find the right way of getting out of here. I Missed the exit. I mean pardon me. I missed the entrance on the way in I'm pretty sure it's the second time I did that Sheen's here. I'm not a farmer, but if I was I think I'd be a John Deere guy. There we go I got absolutely terrible fuel economy Between Quebec in here awful 4.7 miles per gallon. It hurt That's northern Ontario. I mean not only is it more dangerous. Oh I can't turn left over here. How do I get out there? this way Sorry my intersection to the right of me if we would have went the other way wouldn't have taken me onto the highway in front Of us there. That's what I meant northern Ontario It's a very unsafe highway to go on highway 17, but it's the only highway along with highway 11 Those two are the only ones connecting east and west and they're two lane highways through the hills Windy twisty turny very narrow very dangerous, especially in wintertime and considering all the crazy people that drive on it It's a dangerous place to be But it's also very bad for fuel economy because it's just cause up down up down start go slow down speed up slow down Speed up start go up to hill down the hill It's pretty hard on the trucks, but not that I'm complaining I'm just saying when you go through there you would expect to have worse fuel economy I'm gonna get onto this highway to our right here. I want to go back the other way Looks like someone's having a bad day over there on the right Broke down want to come to this intersection because there's no traffic lights here Could be harder to get onto the highway But they don't let us get onto the highway over there at the lights Just like that the blink of an eye. I dropped off the trailer Handed in on my paperwork and now I'm in Blumenort, Manitoba KK panter tire. This is my tire place Just down the road from my mechanic technician place They're gonna rotate my drives Gotta go in there and let them know I'm here Then they're gonna take the drives from the back On the driver side put them on the front on the passenger side and crisscross them all like that So that I get more even wear and then I can go home So you can see here These ones are the worst in the back here They've worn down the most and you can see the ones in the front here are much better, right? It's the rear axle wears down faster Let them do their thing shouldn't take too long. They were able to get me inside right away So I'll probably be out of here 20 minutes, so I have two places that I let touch my truck PBX which you guys know that's just around the corner down the road Peterbilt of Steinback they can touch my truck for any work mechanics tires and wheels KK panter and son in Blumenort as well They also have locations in Brandon and I think Dryden that I've never been to But these guys are the guys what I get to take care of anything to do with my wheels and my tires So everything's sort of in the same area here, and they're both local companies So I like like to know that I'm supporting local at the same time Thousand kilometers on these tires, they're doing pretty good Let me take a look at them again once I get to the shop Kilometers is about 75,000 miles. I Want to get these are Blackhawk tires, right? So they're the cheaper brand So I don't expect them to last as long as good year or be a good rich They were half the price so if they last half as long I got my money's worth out of it My friend Moses has be of good rich on his truck, and he just changed his drive tires, and he got just under 400,000 miles on those tires. It's about 600,000 kilometers. So if I get half of that I've got my I got my money's worth I'm on track. I Definitely won't get 400,000 miles out of these. I don't think We'll see we'll see All right, so these two tires here Were up there right these two tires here were there switched them around So you can see the ones on the back here. These are my two best ones Still doing pretty good after what 75,000 miles Not bad for a cheap knockoff tire, right? All eight of these tires were $4,000 all together If I were to go with the big brand name like BF Goodrich or Michelin's especially Would have been closer to $8,000 like I said double the price So if I get half the miles, I'm gonna base this off my buddy Moses who had those BF Goodriches that I was telling you about 400,000 miles. He could go I think he they switched them after 380 but he said he probably could have gotten an extra 20,000 out of them But since it's winter time they decided to change them a little bit early So let's base it off that 400,000 miles would be of good rich tires. These are blackhawks Offshore tires is what they call them come from it's a Chinese company, I think But they've been very good. They were cheap and 75,000 miles These are still doing very well. I do have one here. This is my worst one on the inside there This one here. These were on the back Still not too bad right wearing very evenly We can clean them off and I'll show you again on Monday when I'm in here The worst one I have out of these is this one right here. This one was underneath the half fender on that side on the inside And you can see that It's not exactly wearing evenly, right? Can you see that? Only that tire that's the only one that's doing that the rest all are wearing very nice and even What's this one? So I'm gonna keep my eye on that one It's still okay right now I'm pretty sure it'll even out now that it's been rotated. It'll probably wear down pretty quickly now until everything goes level, but We'll see I'll keep you updated on that. I told you I was going to keep you updated on these tires after I bought them and That's where we're at How do I look? This is my dog walking hand Very important Oh nice, it's cold side. Let's go. Come on Yeah, I'm on Let's go Got to deal with me for a couple days now Well, weiner. Oh, it's starting to snow over here Nice, okay I'm glad I'm not on the road. I don't mind it snowing when I'm not at work so I'm all showered up and Put the head over to my mom and dad's having tacos tonight I'm so hungry. I'm looking forward to it. I Might even bring some home for you weiner probably not So I'm gonna eat it There you go, but it's always a good trip rounder. We went from Oh, I'm trying to think back now. We started here in Winnipeg Went through northern Ontario to Mississauga unloaded that Mississauga. That was a good trip Went up to Quebec Loaded up those tracks. We waited there Just to the next morning We wanted to put some more freight on the trailer that didn't work out unfortunately, so I came back just with the tracks Through on highway 11 so we went to mississauga on highway 17 came back on highway 11 because I was a lot heavier than it was a little bit shorter from where I was in Quebec And we made it back here got delivered went to the shop Went to KK Panner. We got my tires rotated my drives rotated. That was good. I needed to get that done I'm glad that they weren't busy that we just Seriously 20 minutes in and out. It was awesome. I went back to my shop Got all my stuff out of there We'll be back at my shop on Monday a day after no it's Friday today So Monday I'm gonna go there and attempt to rebuild that bunk heater It's just not working. I think the fan is conked out in it So I bought a new fan for it like a fan motor And we'll see how that does worry, but that's a Monday problem. It's it's Friday. There's no problems today It's Friday right guys Diesel you miss the road? I know everyone else misses you too bad. I can't take him with anymore He's too old now. He can't even get onto the bed in our bedroom here anymore He's 12 years old. He's gonna be 13 later this year, but he's about 12 and a half years old It's just little he's retired. He's enjoying his golden years at home with his family We're hoping to get this fence done In the back there this year this summer, but we may have to delay that Because of the second round of IVF that we're going through it's very expensive So we might have to push that off another year Chevy, where are you? What are you doing over there? Diesel come here. Don't just lay down. It's cold out here. Come on diesel. Come on. You lay down inside Yeah, see we put that temporary fence in there because there was nothing there So let's keep the dogs in the yard and we're gonna redo that whole fence But like I said, this IVF is very expensive. It's about a $25,000 procedure 25 to $30,000 said and done everything start to finish So Yeah, we took our savings that we had for the fence. We had to reallocate it and Use it for this instead right now. So we're trying to build that savings account back up You okay bud? Come on diesel. Come on. Chevy you too. Come here Chevy stop staring at me. Come on. Come on diesel Yeah, so we're trying to we have to build that savings account back up probably just have to wait an extra year It's fine because that fence that my dad built for us back there is doing just fine It does the job. It doesn't look the prettiest, but it doesn't look ugly either. I think it looks pretty good That's another thing we could talk about in summer A whole bunch of stuff. There's always something going on, right? That's life round two IVF It's a lot easier this time Yeah, you're experienced done before now. We're adding a bike It's my hobby. That's what I do in my past time So these are the injections you got to take every day for five to ten days or so maybe, right? Okay, but these are my five-day ones and then we up the game Okay Go's Theo she's trying to make another one of you. She's getting herself ready. I'm gonna I'm gonna help Don't worry. My part's coming Right, this is how you came into existence This is what we did to get you and look how good that turned out You're perfect Want another one just like you?

I'll put my hand under it Okay, okay careful Careful with them. Oh No, you gotta face it the other way Turn it around. Look, it's okay. You got it. Look There you are Here you are It's a little dark in here Yeah Got anything to say to the good people? He wants to be picked up one second here one second That's what you guys down here Come Mommy's giving her her seven needles. So those of you who haven't been following us More than a year He's an IVF baby And we have it all documented all of these same shots that brit went through in the whole process You can go into our I think they're in our home time video playlist Uh, they're also in it was in 2022, right that we did all that On april 2022 you can find it in our playlists there Go in here again. Can I show this? Yeah. Yeah, okay Needles, so I'm giving you a warning. I'm showing a needle Gotta give yourself two So far two They're probably up that Oh, that's the one that takes so long to No, this one doesn't take a long time. It just this one hurts. Oh, it hurts a little bit more than the next one We're gonna get you a little brother or a little sister Which one do you want? You want a little brother or a little sister? Hey, it doesn't matter does it? As long as you're healthy just like Oh, it would be nice to have another boy so we could reuse all the stuff Wouldn't have to buy everything new for a girl Well, we won't have to buy everything new just some pink clothes Yeah A couple flowery blankets or girl toys, right? I was a bit of a That was like a tomboy but a girly girl all at the same time So I liked all the boy stuff plus all the flowery pink stuff Always wants to hold the camera you're gonna vlog one day One day when you're old enough you can have your own channel We have to decide on what age that'll be but it won't be very young Old enough to know the what the internet's all about the internet's a wild place Who knows what it'll be like then? Maybe there was something different for your generation You too was a big thing in my generation And needle number two. This is the big one It looks big, but it's actually much much smaller. These ones don't hurt Trying to get between the stretch marks here stretch marks are still a little Tender from him If you don't like needles, this is your warning Okay, so it comes out there like that. That's just a Tiny little needle these ones. Okay, and then you jab it in No, not like that. You hold for five seconds with the pens You take it out. You don't even feel these ones. These ones are pretty awesome. So the other one that's painful Yeah, the other one's a bit thicker. These ones like literally you put the cap on and they bend in half So just take the needle off you unscrew it So this is uh, some of the more expensive parts of it. This stuff is all very expensive If you guys are wondering if you guys are thinking about doing this yourself and you're in manitoba every province is different So in manitoba this here, uh $1,700 just for this one pen just for that one pen and you'll need more than one, right? I have two more over here, but they're smaller. So these were the cheaper pens. I believe those were $600 each So $1,200 worth there $1,700 there these ones here That's the menopro. That's the one that hurts $1,500 each Almost $1,675 $1,600 each and then uh, yeah, my bill came to 39 something so almost four grand just for the med part yesterday For the medications the the rest of it cost us about $18,000 that we paid yesterday All together. Oh, no. Yeah, it was about almost $14,000 for the other stuff and then So we had $18,000 yesterday for that and the meds and there's going to be some more meds coming yet Probably another couple of thousand Yeah, two or three thousand probably so close to 20 a little over $20,000 And then for the transfer each transfer is $2,000 plus genetic testing and genetic testing We're paying for that too. I believe $330 in embryo. So we'll see how many embryos we get first All together it'll be between 25 and 25,000 and $30,000 And then a month or two after we're done the agri-triple We will transfer another embryo from Our last embryo from when we got his embryo him We'll see if that one takes too Yep, so for those new to the channel like I was just explaining before this is the second time That we've been through this or that she's been through this Let's be honest. She's going through all of this I do contribute. I do have a very vital part to play that part is coming A couple of weeks. I'm prepping myself up getting excited getting psyched He's gonna give me some DNA, but He doesn't have to go through Yeah, I gotta go through the clinic and everybody knows what you just did you gotta you gotta give your sample Your DNA I think they should clap They should I think they should clap when you're leaving. Yeah job. Well done. So Everybody knows what I'm doing in there because it's a it's a fertility clinic. Yeah, what else would a man be in there? Don't sit down behind you. He's behind I heard him. He's yeah If you're a man and you're in there with your with your wife or partner There's only one reason you're in there and that's to give them your DNA In a cup I know it's funny, right? But you know through all of this We get that perfect little baby. It's gonna do big things one day Mom but first we're gonna talk So we have unexplained infertility the doctors cannot figure out why we can't conceive naturally but we've gone through all of our options over the years and IVF has been what's worked for us This is our last time going through it though So this is the last time So she is doing all of this for an egg retrieval. They retrieve the eggs and then when I bring my Bring mine. They fertilize them in a petri dish And then they let them grow for five days and the ones who survive they turn into an embryo And then those go get tested for genetic genetic testing make sure that they're all good And then they go in the freezer Until ready to transfer them the transfer is when they Implant into the uterus And then perfection comes out perfect.
