 Hello everybody, it's Klaas Hatta all the way from South Africa and you're watching Trucker George Vlogs on YouTube. Enjoy. Hey, I'll be outside. Good morning world. So if you watched yesterday's video, you'll know that we got this front area here, cut and mode and the backyard cut and mode yesterday. Today we continue to do the other parts of the yard. Probably got another couple of hours worth. I had to get the pickup out of the garage so I can get the mower out. Parked it a little further away because I want to mow all of this here yet. Don't want to be throwing rocks at the pickup. Don't need any stone chips. Where are you? Where are you? There you are, my pretty. My old girl. Still going strong. She does need a new battery though, so it doesn't start on her. She doesn't start on her own. You got to hook her up to the filibrator here. Give her a little bit of a jolt. Get her to wake up. Needs a new battery. Yep. So let's hook her up. Let's get her running. Let's go to town on our yard. We're having guests over tonight, so got to make sure everything looks nice, clean cut and fresh. Got to make sure she's filled up with juice. Almost. We'll fill her up anyway. Just to top her up there. Check the oil. This tractor's been burning a little bit of oil recently. It's not a huge big deal, but it's getting old. It happens. Fill her up with a little bit of go-go juice. Top her off here a little bit. Just a little bit. Not going to worry about filling this up again right away. There we go. Caps back on. Oil is good. Gas is good. Battery is not good, but that's okay. We'll deal with that another day. We just got to make sure that the tractor doesn't shut off on the opposite end of the property. Because then I got to push it all the way back here or bring my mobile generator all the way over there so I can boost it. But she works. Alright, let's turn her on here. It's hard to get this to connect sometimes. I'm going to get this thing going. It's only like almost three feet this year. All of that stuff doesn't. Eventually I'd like to build a little deck around here. Going for a swim on a day like this. I guess not. Yesterday I parked it here and I did the same thing. I said, oh, it might backfire. Watch out. Watch out. So I was plugging my ears. Nothing happened. And I let my guard down. I was like, oh, I guess it's not going to backfire. Start getting off. Scared the daylights out of me. You're not going to do that again to me today. Are you, girl? Easy. Easy. No fireworks today. All right. Safe and easy. Oh, we can do some more weed whacking if we want her to. But I'm just happy to have that all done. Right on. Well, onto the next task at hand. There's always something to do. I messed up the floor a little bit in here. My wife did a good job sweeping it yesterday. I better clean up my mess. Always clean up after you're done. You know, when I was a kid, I think the biggest mistake I kept making of the biggest thing that would probably drive my dad crazy is I wouldn't clean up after myself. I would probably drive my mom crazy too, to be honest. But I'm just thinking like I'd go into the garage or into the shop, borrow my dad's tools and just leave them wherever I was done with them. Didn't put them away. Didn't clean up the garage when I was done. It made a mess. Just left it dirty. You know, I got away with a lot, you know? Those are bug biting me. It's fly ski biting me. I got away with a lot. I think a little bit too much. I was the youngest in the family. So I think I got away with a little bit more than I should have. But young people out there, if you're still living at home with your parents, young guys, when you borrow your dad's stuff or when you make a mess inside the house, don't assume someone else. Don't assume mom and dad will come and clean it up and put things back. Always leave things better than you found them. So if you're going into the garage to borrow your dad's tools or even just a buddy's tools or you're going into, you know, if your mom works in the office like mine does, if you're going in there to borrow her stuff, look at things before you start using it and then when you're done with it, make sure it looks better than when you started using it. I'm not perfect at that by any stretch of the imagination. Like I said, when I was a kid, I was terrible at it. I never cleaned up after I made a mess. And, you know, if you develop those habits early, I know it probably sounding like your dad right now, but he's got a point. You know, maybe if you don't listen to him, maybe you'll listen to me. Sometimes it's different coming from a friend, right, than from a parent. If you create these good habits when you're young and always leave things better than you found them, it'll follow you into your adult life when you're working. Whatever job you get into. And believe me, if you continue that habit at your job when you're older, your boss is going to love you. I guess he's going to get all the promotions and the pay raises, hopefully. You, hopefully. I mean, either way, even if you don't, you know, the best thing to do when you're doing something good for someone else, don't expect anything in return. It defeats the purpose. If you're doing something good for someone just to get something yourself in return, you're not really doing any good. You're trying, you got selfish motives then, right? You're doing it for yourself. You're not doing it for others. When you do something nice, like clean up an area better than you found it, you're doing it for someone else because you care about them and you're investing into someone else, right? It'll come back around. And people will start doing that for you, you know? But don't look at me like I'm perfect at that at all because I'm not. I've got a lot of work to do. I mean, I've grown a lot spiritually and mentally and physically in the past five, 10 years. I think I'm nowhere near perfect when I say you should do these things. I'm not saying that I'm perfect at them. I'm just saying it's a good idea. I'm only 31, but I do have a little bit of experience, a little bit. Nice. Good trick. Can you do it again? No? This is your one-time thing, man. One-time thing. Don't think you'll miss it. All right. Are you impressed with my fire? You like my fire? That's how you make a proper Saturday night bonfire. Still tearing apart that lean-to on the side of our garage there, slowly getting it all burnt. Next season, I'm going to tilt all into the garden here because this is all going to be a garden. It's going to be good fertilizer. What do you think, Diesel? Is that fire satisfactory for you? I've got a stick. It's got a big acorn on it. Good for you. Good for you. So the weather is so nice out today. Britt and I are going to go and have a date, date day, a date beach day at the beach. We're going to Falcon Lake Beach in Southwest, no, not Southeast Manitoba, sorry. It's like a couple of hours from here an hour. So I don't know exactly how far I've never actually been there before, but she's been there. One hour's little. It's been many, many moons. So we're going to go over there, soak in the sun a bit, take a dip in the water probably. It's our first summer date of the year alone. Yeah. We usually bring friends along on our dates. Or parents. Or parents or just people. So this weekend we're like, maybe we should do something on our own. Let's be an actual couple. So let's go. Well, we're here and the weather is hot as promised. Found a little bit of a parking spot. I think the beach is that way over there. I've never been here. So we just stopped by the restaurant and stuff behind us. Right there. So let's go see what they got to offer. See what this beach is like. Guess I should help Britt carry some stuff. Been here for a little while now. It's starting to get a little bit windy though. If you look across the lake there, I don't know if you can see it in the camera. It's all smoky. There's some forest fires in Ontario and they're kindly sharing. There's smoke with us here in Manitoba. Getting rid of the speeders though. That's true. Yeah, that's good. This is a really nice beach. This is our favorite Manitoba Beach so far. Remember when we went to Huntington Beach in California? How dirty it was. It was supposed to be like a rich people beach and it was the most disgusting place I've ever been in my entire life. Beautiful beach. But just like people did not take care of it. People were not courteous and not clean up after themselves. There's garbage everywhere. Bathrooms were disgusting. And the birds were everywhere because there was so much garbage. Yeah, I've eaten all the garbage. Yeah. This is much nicer than hunting the beach. Yeah, our provincial parks are pretty well taken care of. You can see the smoke. The camera I don't think can pick it up as much but all that smoke from Ontario still is floating through town. Yeah, it looks like it's later in the evening. It's not. Let me go near time. We're gonna go get some ice cream here at the store and then head back home. I've gotten quite a bit of sun today. I'm feeling pretty tired. Drained. The sun just sucks all the energy out of you. Usually it does that for me too but I don't feel that today. I felt drained earlier in the day and then we got to the beach and I felt better. Maybe I just needed some sunshine. This is like a blizzard type deal but they call it a white-out Reese's Pieces. She got what? Coconut flavored ice cream. No time to talk. No time to talk. So good. It's my favorite flavor. I love coconut every day. It's apparently cheaper to get ice cream in the store over there, the meat and grocery than the actual ice cream place next door. Who knew? My girlfriend's a bargain hunter. She told us about it last night. Her parents have a cabin around here so she helped us out. But the day is coming to an end. It's time to go home. I'm thinking I got to go back to work tomorrow but no load yet so we'll see. Got to wait for the morning. What are you guys watching? What are you watching? As ever. He's watching The Nature Show? Is he going to get him? Is he going to get him? I know it's getting exciting. A nice smooth round to block the warthog's escape. It's getting very exciting guys. He's going to lunge at them. He's going to pounce. He's going to pounce. Any second. There he goes. There he goes. She. That's a she. Oh, oh, oh, they got it. They got it, man. Exciting. You taking notes? That's how you and Diesel work together to get the squirrel. You too, Frank. You have a part to play too. But alright guys, it's time for me to sit down here at the computer and do some work. Thanks for watching today. Tomorrow we hit the road again. You'll have to tune in tomorrow to see where we're going. I'll give you a hint and say we're going to the US of A. I'll see you tomorrow.
