 Right now, last night it got down to minus 45 with the wind chill. I made the decision to bring old blue to my shop, save at least one cold night from, well, when it gets down to that cold, you don't shut your truck off for night, right? You're not going to start it in the morning then, so you'd have to idle it. So I brought it to my shop, so I can shut it off for night, and that's exactly why I have that for nights like this. I'm so close by already. It was only 15 minutes out of my way, and it worked out great. I'm just going down the road about another 15, 20 minutes this way. We'll be in St. Malo, Manitoba, and we'll get this freight off my trailer that we picked up at that gravel pit in Minnesota yesterday. If you haven't watched yesterday's video, you can go back in my playlists and find yesterday's video. I have several playlists on my main channel for you. This tractor trailer is in here all the time. Here where we're going to unload. Oh, yeah. See, he gets all these trucks in here all the time. Even bigger than me. I can't go that way, no room that way, so I guess I'll go this way for now and probably back in there, I'm thinking. Trating myself out here, and then we'll back up full place in here. Get stuck, Trucker Jack. Don't get stuck. Don't hit anything, Trucker Jack. Gremlins in my head won't stop talking to me. Ah, we made it, okay, good. I'm just going to park right here beside this trailer for now, and then go and find the guy, and then he can tell me where he actually wants me, and then I will maneuver myself at that time. I love this property in here, totally hidden away from the highway, driven past here countless times throughout my life, never knew it was here. Okay, so now people can get around me while I'm waiting here while I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Very expensive prescription, but these ones on, which are also expensive prescription, and at least this way I can, I'm going to shut the truck off, and then I turn my engine warmer on so it keeps the fluids warm in my engine, and I turn the bunk heater on so it keeps the interior warm, but then I don't have to idle the truck while I'm working. It's about minus 20 right now, so as long as it's not like more than six hours or something, I'll be fine. If it's down like minus 45, I wouldn't shut it off at all. This is going to be so much fun. I'm so glad this isn't like a very like detailed load, pretty straightforward. I'll take my securement off and go from there. The E-Log know that I am here at the shipper, okay, let's go figure out where he wants us. I've got all my equipment off, two front end loaders, front and one's grabbing the back of it, and I'm going to drive out from underneath it. I thought they might grab one from this side, but they're going to grab both from that side. That should work. As long as they can lift it off my deck, then I can just roll forward nice and slow, and they'll set it down on the ground over there, and we'll sign some paperwork, and I'll be out of here. They're just going to hook up that last chain, and we'll be on the way. These gloves are great for cold weather. VEGO again, not NAD or anything. I really like their gloves. They're felt or lined on the inside. They say they're only good to like plus five Celsius, but what I do is I have like multiple pairs. I have one pair on the dash here, keeping warm, got one pair here, got one pair here, got like another four down there. What I do is I rotate them while I'm working. They have this rubber lining around it, which keeps all moisture out. So my hands never get wet, but they can still breathe, so they don't sweat. Now they do get cold down in minus 20, minus 30. Your hands will get cold in here eventually, unless you keep moving. You've got to keep moving, keep your blood pumping. But if your hands do get cold, what you do is you come into the truck here, you take the cold ones off, put them on the dash, let them warm up on the defrost a little bit. Grab the warm ones that you have on the defrost. You slip them on. Now you've got warm gloves, and you go continue working. And you keep rotating them like that. Thicker gloves that are good for colder weather. But they're really hard to work with. They're very hard to move your fingers and grab stuff. This rubber stuff on here, it not only keeps the water off your hands, it also, it also gives you very good grip when you're grabbing things. Really nice. This is what I use through the winter. I found it on Amazon. You can just look up VEGO winter gloves. These will pop up. They come in all kinds of different colors. I got the black ones. I'm looking for the blue ones, but they were sold out, one of the blue ones. But the blue ones, red ones, gray ones, black ones. I figure if I couldn't have the blue, I'll have the black. They hide dirt a little better, and they don't look dirty so quickly. I got a whole bunch of them. They're pretty cheap. Pretty good price, too. You know, the actual winter gloves are way more expensive. I'll show you them, too. I have them up here. I have so many gloves for this winter. I am set. These are the gloves that I bought that are more for colder weather. They're VEGO as well. They got the protection for your hands. These work really well. They're just a little harder to get on and off. The other ones are easier to slip on and off. These are lined as well. My summer gloves are exactly like this, except without the lining on the inside. I believe I got some here as well. I'd like to show you them. I've got my shoes on, so I can't really leave my driver area here. I don't want to get my truck all dirty. I've also got these gloves from VEGO as well, which are supposed to be good down to minus 20. I don't like them, though, because, again, they're hard to get on and off, and the lining wants to come out with your hand when you take the glove off. It's very annoying. Where are my other gloves? One sec here. They come in packs like this. See, this is for summertime. This is the ones without the lining that I was showing you. And I've also got these leather ones. These are the most expensive gloves I have, but they're very warm. They got the protection on your hand here, so you don't crush your hand. All leather. The only thing is that these seams wear out a little fast, and then water gets in there anyway. But they are very good. Same brand again for me to drive forward now. The glove salesman. paperwork signed. I'm out of here. I just got a message. I think I might have a new load offer here. Let's see. Let's see. What do you got for me there? Load gods. It's a load assignment. Canora, taking up on the 8th tomorrow. So I guess today I'm going empty trailer behind me, new load assignment. But that's tomorrow's worry. Today, we're going to bring this trailer back, bring those tarps back that aren't mine on the back of the trailer there. And maybe grab a different trailer if I can. I'm going to try to grab a step deck. Oh, there's a deer right here. There's a bunch of deer right here. Look at this. Two of them. Right here. You see them? Check it out. Right there. I see you. What's up, bud? Got a little treat for you from wildlife. I'm going to see if I can grab a step deck for tomorrow. I'd just rather have a step if I have a choice. But we'll see what they got available there at the yard. And then get ready for tomorrow. I'll figure out what I need to be there by. Go grab that load. French town, French mate tea town. Mate tea is a word that means that they're half indigenous, half French-European. And they came from Quebec and settled here in Manitoba, around about the 1700s, I believe, 16-1700s. Before we got here, anyways, us, the Dutch and the Germans, became in 1874, yeah. We actually landed up the river just a little bit, a little ways away from here. And they're along the river here, right? Because back in the 1600s, there were no roads here. So the only way of transportation was the river. So they settled along the rivers. When we came in 1874, we had steam-powered vehicles already and brought all our technology over from Europe. And we settled inland between the rivers. I'm descended from that, from those pioneers. This land was all, other than right here, this area was settled. But inland was all wild swamp land, eh? No one wanted it. The indigenous didn't want it. The British government didn't want it. The French didn't want it. They deemed it unusable because it was just swamp, right? And then you brought in the Dutch and some Northwestern Germans. And you know, if you're gonna drain any swamps, if you're gonna have to deal with a lot of water, you know who to call. You can call the Dutch and the Northwestern Germans there. They know how to deal with water. So they brought us in and now it's all settled. It's all nice farmland. And then along came me. In between, my mom and dad's family's actually left Canada for a little bit. Okay, I'm gonna have to, this is, dad's family went to Paraguay where he was born and mom's family went to Mexico where she was born. And then we all ended up coming back here to Canada. Thank you. Turned a room in there for a semi. I think so. What's interesting though is that my dad and my mom being born in Mexico and Paraguay, they were considered Canadians born abroad. It wasn't the same as it is nowadays where it's, you know, wherever you're born, that's where you're a citizen of. Back then, if you were born abroad, you're still a Canadian. I thought this lot was bigger. I don't think I'm gonna stay here. I wanted to park here and go inside but I feel like I'll be in the way if I stay here. But now I feel guilty just driving through their lot. I'll go find a better spot to park. Just dropped off those tarps in the tarp shed there. Excuse me. Dropped my paperwork off in the office. I'm gonna go see if I can find a step deck. I'm gonna grab one of those so that I can go pick up that lumber load tomorrow on a step instead of a flat. I see a flat right here. It's a pretty dirty one, but we'll see if there's a cleaner one. If not, I'm gonna grab this one right here. Oh man, that thing's dirty. Thanks. Oh, there's one over there too. Back in my messy shop. One of these days I'm gonna have a chance to clean this up. This mattress has gotta go to the dump. I want to, I wanna make the video on that Odyssey mattress this weekend. I wanna tell you all about that. You're gonna like that. We did that as fast as we could. We can always tell it's cold in here because this neon light around my Chevy clock doesn't glow as bright. The colder it gets, if it gets really cold in here, it'll just shut off that yellow ring. That's how I know it's pretty cold. Another way to tell is just to look at the thermometer. It was 58 degrees in here, Fahrenheit. And now it's about 48. So we lost 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Couldn't go any faster. I mean, you open the door, you rip the pick up out of here, you ripple blue in here, you shut the door. I just gotta wait for the heaters to catch up. There's floor heat in here, which does the majority of the heating. It'll bring it up to about 55 Fahrenheit in here. And then I have a space heater back here. And the majority of my heat, which comes from this 240 volt heater over here, that'll bring the temperature in here up to about between 58 and 60 Fahrenheit. I can turn it hotter if I want, but I think that's a pretty good temperature already. All right, we're not cleaning out old blue or anything today. We're going back to work tomorrow. So we're just taking what we need to take home. And we'll be back here in the morning. Thanks for watching everybody. Don't forget to hit that like button, subscribe, leave me a comment down below.
