 What is this foreign place? Because the line-ups are so ridiculously long at the Timmy's across town now I've gotten so frustrated especially the Timmy's at the corner of what is at the corner of? Geese Brecht and The 52 because the line-ups are so ridiculously long at the Timmy's across town. I found myself at the Starbucks It's bad So the GoPro is once again Crashing on us today. I have no idea what's going on with it as a hero 7 Maybe it's just getting old, but I'm gonna be looking into getting a hero 8 In the next couple of weeks The hero 9 is available already. I'll see if I can find it at a good price somewhere But I don't I don't need the fanciest of the fancy I just need another camera that works so I can talk to you guys using my phone like this is kind of Inconvenient it doesn't show as much and you know when I mount you guys on my dashboard like this It doesn't give up. It's just not the best But anyway, the story for this morning is that there's a Tim Hortons on the other side of Steinbeck Oh, this guy's in a hurry. Calm down, buddy. You love your job that much She's in a rush to get to work The Timmy's on the other side of town like I showed you the other day is all like boxed in by construction, right? So a lot of people are too lazy to just go around to get to there. So they go to the next Timmy's This is pretty much what I do too, right? and Since everybody's going to that Timmy's the drive-through lineup at that Timmy's at the corner of Eastbrook and the 52 The lineup is on to the street in all directions blocking traffic And people just line up and just block the whole road impeding traffic and where are the cops? You know clear the road. I don't know. You never see them in Steinbeck. We don't know where they are So anyway, they they're blocking traffic. So that's getting frustrating And I got so frustrated that I went to Starbucks You know, I'm glad I did the people that work at the drive-through or at the Starbucks in general in Steinbeck are The most friendly people in town. They must have head hunted them just the most friendly people you can find in town They make you laugh every time you go through there And they make you happy like they should you know, it's morning time Everybody's kind of in a bad mood. No one wants to go to work except for that one guy up there going 200 miles an hour He wants to go to work really bad but Starbucks the servers there they make the morning a little bit better, right? So maybe they've they may have just earned me as a customer as a daily customer. I don't know I got a large. I don't even know what how they speak. They have a different language at Starbucks They don't exactly speak English with their menu. I think a large is what a venti or a grandi We're just gonna call it a large coffee because I'm a normal person and I'm not as fancy as all these other people go in there but hey, they may have gotten a new customer because They're friendly attitude so a friendly attitude goes a long way. That's the moral of the story this morning So we're gonna use my phone today to vlog And for the foreseeable future because my GoPro is shot on the inside. It's it's not doing well So we'll see what we can make of it Notice anything different. I lost a horn. I Didn't really lose it. I Had to get it removed the brackets broke off this morning. So now I'm one horn down They're gonna fix it for me this evening later tonight or over the weekend. I'm not too worried about it The one horn still works Just goes along with the rest of the truck fits right in So we're on our way to canora as soon as I pick up my trailer I have to go and pick up another trailer like we brought to doffin except instead of going to doffin this time We're gonna go to canora with it. I got to pick it up there in about an hour And it takes what did I say last time two and a half hours to get to canora two and a half hours back I'm just dropping the trailer off there, and I think I might be bringing an empty pack Same same kind of deal that we did with doffin the other day. It's Pretty simple should be fun. It's a van trailer. Don't got a tiny thing down just literally hook up onto it bring it over there job complete So we'll get some extra extra scenery today anyways get off the prairies for a little bit Just coming up into Ontario Man is there traffic out here though? Oh These cottage people I tell you what Along the line up behind me and they had a chance to pass they chose not to now They're stuck behind me on the two lane thought of their their life choices before they got to this point So I'm limited at a hundred call a hundred dollars an hour and speed limits 90 here and everybody behind me wants to do 150 I'm thinking it's I'm looking at the time. He's like 2 2 30 in the afternoon or something Why is there so many people go into their cabin on Friday? I know it's a long weekend, right? Okay, so I'm filming it's an August long weekend on Friday So Monday is our long weekend, right? How do so many people also? Get Friday off doesn't really do it any justice because all the cars are behind me doesn't look like there's anybody on the road but just trust me Hundreds and hundreds of cars out here on the road Everybody got Friday off to and they get Monday off. Do they get Tuesday off to do they even work? How do you why do you get an extra long weekend to go to the cabin like so many people? It must be all the owners and CEOs They can make their own hours Good for them good for them. But anyways, we got to go to Kanaria here We got a maybe another half hour in front of us here switch trailers go back to Winnipeg drop it off there Our long weekend will start then We're not going to the cabin or anything. We don't got any cabin to go to but going to cruise night on Sunday It's working Saturday and Sunday Monday. We both have off and we're planning on going on a fancy date You can't see it, but I'm doing the eyebrow thing right now. We're having a fancy date on Monday I'm excited go on many dates because we work so much and we're so busy in I Didn't schedule any holidays this summer either because we're trying to pay off some debt so next summer We'll stop to pause and take more time to enjoy ourselves. That's for sure At least it's a beautiful day out here. It's gonna be a really nice weekend too for us Anyways, not for the farmers, but for us, it'll be a nice weekend But truly I am shocked I'm shocked with how many people have the Friday off Don't you have to work the day before and the day after a Stat holiday to get paid for the stat holiday. I'm pretty sure that's how it works, right? That way people don't take like You know take sick days and extend the long weekend. You have to work like a Monday is the holiday So you have to work the Friday and the Tuesday in order to get paid for the Monday. I was pretty sure that's how it worked, but There's a lot of people out here that Getting extra day lucky them Looks like freshly blasted rock here, right? I wonder if they widened it. It must have There's new asphalt here, and that definitely looks like Just out of there recently I'd love to be here and see it when they blasted I always say that and I think of that every time I go past roads like that is where I live There's nothing like that I don't like this but two hours from where I live less than two hours you get into this Canadian Shield Which is this rocky hilly Part of the country that stretches From here down to southern Ontario This is the terrain that separates eastern Canada from western Canada. That's why we're so You know separated Because it's very hard and expensive to build on this terrain. So the majority of Canadians live out east of this And if you want to get through this terrain, it's going to take you Two days of driving Then you reach eastern Canada Western Canada starts where The flat lands begin where the prairies begin not exactly, but you get my point, right? So the populations of Canada are very very split very far apart. I Used to come through here all the time I kind of miss it Have for this thing isn't as good as the GoPro, but it's all we got right now And the engines working hard pulling me up this hill See it's smoother as soon as I let off the throttle I'm gonna have to get used to using a new camera for about two to three weeks until I get my My new one We're headed back now. I've just switched trailers and we're still seeing all this traffic coming from Manitoba Into Ontario. It's not quite as busy now, but it's still a steady stream of cottage goers. Here's another bunch of them It's probably gonna get even busier as the time is now 4 o'clock 3 30 4 o'clock somewhere in there So everybody is getting off work now and win a peg and in about two hours They're all going to be pouring past here It's sort of like how Wisconsin looks With all the Chicago and Illinois traffic coming in every long weekend, you know Reminds me a lot of a smaller version of Interstate 94 on a Friday a long weekend All those Illinois plates and I'll never forget that traffic Everybody from Illinois going to Wisconsin trying to get away from Illinois Same thing here all these Manitoba plates trying to get away from Manitoba Have fun guys Hope you catch a lot of fish. I Apologize for that footage with the phone note to self the phone is not good for vlogging Noted don't worry. There's only one more day before I get my new camera. I'm filming this end of day on that camera right now I got the hero eight guess I just Might as well. I told you about it already you guys know about it already So I got one more vlog tomorrow's vlog Or the next vlog goes on the hero seven and that camera was having issues as you know That's why all the footage this week has been dodgy all over the place and When I make daily vlogs I sort of just got to use what I got and if the equipment agrees with me great If it doesn't agree with me, I got to use what I got I try to keep a daily story going and the best that I can you know Monday to Friday the best that I can and On the weekends too I've been thinking about moving to just a Monday to Friday schedule and then you know weekends are just bonus If I film something on the weekend great if not, I'm just gonna spend it with my family and spend it with My friends spend it just relaxing or just catching up, you know, it's nice to have a couple days to catch up. So We'll see I'm hesitant to commit to any schedules Because I try to make this is I try to make it a daily vlog because it's supposed to be a daily record of my life that It's like a diary for myself something that I can go back on Decades in the future and I can see myself And see if I've gotten better or worse And I like to share it as well as I go along, you know life's exciting and I really love what I do But most of my time is spent driving trucks and that that is my biggest passion in life It's what I do. It's all I really know So I named this channel trucker Josh vlogs like 10 years ago It would have been nice to have something more universal to include everything in my entire life But yeah, it is what it is now and we're gonna run with it You guys already know what this channel is all about you've been here for quite a while already And most of you a lot of you and some of you are new if you're new welcome There's a lot to catch up on I don't blame me if you don't want to go all the way back through all 2338 videos But if you want to they're there for you and you can join now and follow us from here. Oh Man, I've been through so much already the last 10 years. We started off in that mobile home Sold that bought our house that house the black roof That's where I met Britt. I'm married won't I met her and we got engaged and then we sold that house bought that big country house That big like 17 and a half acre property. I love that property So sad to see it go, but we had to sell that as well We'd been there for a few years as well We got married we were in that house and we sold that and Move to this small house now because we have new plans for the future. We own some land out of town we're gonna build a house there in the future and Reminds me. I haven't been to the land in like a month It's gonna be pretty overgrown already, but you know until we can actually Start putting shovels in the ground and building there's not much we can do out there right now. So we're just Just sitting on it and waiting to build our dream house and our dream house isn't like what you think a big dream House, it's a very we want to have a very small modest house Something that's affordable that we can retire in and you got to remember after you retire You still got to pay for your property tax You got to pay for your your electric bills your internet and phones and everything else So we want to have a house. That's not going to they Make a struggle in retirement like just trying to pay the electricity these big houses You see these people who win the lottery they build these big massive houses You buy these Lamborghinis and then they run out of money and they have to sell everything because they can't afford the insurance They can't afford the maintenance, you know, you buy a Lamborghini We haul cars at work and we haul a couple Lamborghinis and beautiful cars, you know like Worth hundreds of thousands of dollars beautiful cars But when you own it you have to be able to maintain them because of those cars No, you Lamborghini owners out there can correct me But from what I've heard from the own from owners and people who have these cars is to maintain them and get an oil Change done is very expensive. It could be up to like over 10 $15,000 just to get those cars serviced because that you can't service them just anywhere They have to have Lamborghini service. There's no Lamborghini dealership in Manitoba You got to ship them off to Calgary. That's the closest place or drive them out there just to get its service there I can't imagine how expensive the oil would be plus the the shop rate at a Lamborghini dealership like Probably like 1500 bucks an hour. I don't know Yeah, it's like 10 to $15,000 just for an oil change and a service on those cars So a lot of people they buy these cars in the can't maintain them So my point is we want to build a house that we can retire in and be comfortable in and afford So it won't be anything too fancy But it'll be everything that we want in a house and it'll be focused around our dogs Obviously if we have any kids in the future, so like a three bedroom We'll probably build like a three bedroom with the possibility of adding on in the future Like we'll build the house in such a way that if we suddenly have a bunch of kids that We have space and a plan to add on to the house. That's that's what I'm thinking Yeah, and anyways, we're in this house now because it's cost-effective. It's it's a very small house cheap to maintain and We're trying to pay off some debts and then once our debts all paid off We want to we want to start our plans for building But anyways all of this progress is all on the vlog channel here That's what I'm getting at and you can follow it You can follow our progress you can go back and see my whole life as it's as I've gone through all kinds of different Circumstances and met different people gone to different places Traveled all over Canada in the United States life's exciting and if you don't take time to Enjoy it it flies past And I know I'm still young. I'm still young I'm 33 But you know if I'm not careful, you know, I'll blink and suddenly I'll be 68 and Or 70 and if I don't plan for that day Now I'll be unprepared. I like I want to be prepared so that when I get to that point that I can just enjoy the rest of my life Stress-free and you know, maybe we'll have a condo or something down south on the Gulf or something. We'll see a lot of planning So I'm glad you're here with me. Anyways, I've been gibber yabber in here for quite a while Sorry again for that footage today. I did my best.
