 Morning everybody today is a big day We have an appointment with breath surgeon and we have her a prenatal for her with her doctor after that The important while they're both important But the appointment with the surgeon is in 15 minutes for about to walk out the door and head over there now It's gonna tell us what day our baby will be born What day the C-section will be on usually Like I'm just learning all this stuff now. I'm no expert on this The due date is April 1st my birthday, but if the C-section is usually like a week or two before I don't know I think he's gonna say that 25th. I also think it will be March 25th Mostly cuz 25 is my favorite number because I was born on July 25th. So was Chevy So we're both guests in the same day, but we also both guest girl and we were very wrong So that's you one of the dogs is right There's so much smarter than we are some days About a week or two early, right? Yeah Week or two ish. I don't know. I don't know. We'll see what our surgeon's got to say Very excited Can't wait to meet our son To see what he looks like Guaranteed just like him cuz I can already tell from the ultrasound pictures. He looks like dad He might have my lips though. I was have a sneaky suspicion. He had my lips. So we'll see We'll see. I'm just excited to bring a mini Josh into the world Glasses keep fogging up. We're meeting the surgeon that's going to do her C-section today. I hear he's the best And what are we all finding out other than the date? What to expect I guess in the surgical I don't know. We're new. I don't know. I have no idea what's going on. You ask me questions, then I'm like, dude I know as much as you do pretty much About you little guy What date do you think you it'll be? What day do you think you'll be here? Yes, you would know It's pretty quiet still. Yeah, he was kicking up here just a minute ago Definitely in a head-down position. I Know cuz I pee every five seconds and nothing comes up. Just well ready though Mm-hmm all in position Mm-hmm We tried out the new Burger King in town The lineup was still crazy. It was like going to Tim Hortons It was it was lined up around the restaurant in like a circle around the entire restaurant And there's no seating inside Steinbeck is very excited when new things pop up and new restaurants not a lot happens around here And no one has anything to do so in a new restaurant like Burger King opens. Everyone's free Everyone's like, what are you doing today? Nothing? I want to go check out Burger King. Yeah, I'm not doing anything Yeah, so it's it was crazy the The meal was good the fries were very fresh because the Friars were new They missed out we got the mozzarella sticks and they missed out on our marinara sauce, which did not make very happy Once her marinara sauce and We also ordered takeout and we took it home and by the time we got home here it was cold Josh had to write a lengthy text to somebody while we waited in the car So I took an extra five six seven minutes. It was like 30 seconds. No, it wasn't His concept of time. Don't ever trust me We had another gift show up at our mailbox That's a little card in it This one came from Greg and Leslie Maher And they are from Decatur, Michigan The U.S. It's a little gift-trapping What are you doing? It's your turn. Okay, it's my turn. Two of theirs Zero to six months. Oh, and more Lots of them. Hang on. Thanks guys. Greg and Leslie Maher. I Like their little poem they had on here a gift for baby G Didn't know just what to get or just what you would choose But figured this was something that your little one could use. I Like the little poem that was on the card here a gift for baby G Didn't know just what to get or just what you would choose But figured this was something your little one could use wishing you all the happiness possible Greg and Leslie Maher Thank you very much guys I'm all packed up and ready to head out on the road. I'm going into Minnesota Close down by Minneapolis. I think and then back So today we were a little disappointed, but Meh, that is what it is. We couldn't find out the birth date just yet Maybe later today, but probably in the next couple of days is what I'm thinking We have to drop off some paperwork at the hospital for her and Then the hospital will call us and tell us when the date's going to be So I guess maybe we'll know later today, but when we do find out I'll let you know Mm-hmm, that seems like the most likely date The surgeon did say that they like to do it at 39 weeks, which would be the 25th Yeah, good vibes good vibes nice young guy. Well, not too young, but Yeah, and what did he say he'd done like hundreds of C sections Pretty much all he does he's a family doctor and he's like a sort of mixed practice But his main thing is he's a C-section doctor So I'm just gonna look at the calendar here a little bit I think I'm gonna be stopping work a week earlier than I thought If it's gonna be on the 25th Yes, I would have two more weeks of work including this week. So I'm leaving now to head out to work Be back next weekend or hide-a-beds coming on the weekend and then one more week after that and then I'm done till end of April depending on how she does. I'm planning to go back from May 1st, but You know not too much time not too much work left a couple more loads baby, baby all baby all baby And puppy dogs and puppy dogs Can't neglect that And I'm gonna keep all the home time and family stuff during that time here on this main channel That's what the majority overwhelming majority of you suggested when I asked was all gonna be right here I'll put it into a different playlist though So you'll be able to follow just the specific journey if you want to and if you're not into the home time stuff Well May 1st, we'll be back in the truck. So just hang tight Tentatively yes tentatively May 1st, and of course there's all our stuff That's gonna go eventually one day into our house once we get a bigger house Freezers been working great. Don't have anything in it yet Next weekend we'll go shopping and we do Costco run. We need to get a Costco membership We usually shop at Superstore because we use their gas station and when you fill up gasoline at the gas station outside Superstore it's sort of like Canadian Walmart Phillip gas there it gives you free points to use in the store, and we usually get like 50 to 60 years old bucks to use Whenever we go shopping it seems we make pretty good return off that. So we usually fuel there and shop there Either way I'm gonna stock up on food a little bit especially since we got a baby coming. I don't never want to To be in a situation where we're like, oh shoot. We're all out of food and the stores have closed down indefinitely Or for 15 days, you know, we're just closing down for 15 days. Okay? Two years later Alert my lesson, okay? All right, let's go trucking. We got to go pick up our load We have a load of two headers that are headed down to Minnesota I've got to chain them down tie them down and get as far as I can today yet Tarps up here the two headers Got them chain down got them strapped down. So I got chains. I can't really see it's so dark, okay? Chains crisscrossing here and in the back And straps going over the straps holding the load down Chains holding the load down and together on the trailer and from sliding back and forth very light load one's going to Chatfield, Minnesota the other's going to a town called What's called in Causton Cossan, Minnesota should be fun. Let's get going Pulled it out into the light here. I had to go use the washroom with myself ready for the road Here's my two headers Got these chain down. I'm just gonna bungee these Chains here to there so that they don't unravel they stay there Got my binders locked Chains crisscrossed smushes these things together on the dunnage Smush would be the wrong word it pins them together and prevents it from Forward and back also holds it down. We also have this dunnage. That's nailed down to the trailer other strap here holding it down Nailed down to the trailer here. It also prevents it from sliding Let's say those are not going anywhere Except with me wind is a little cold the temperature outside is only minus five Celsius Wind is cold. I had to switch one of my straps That's why I like to double check the load in the light I was tying it down kind of in the dark back there, right? Even though I thought I could see everything one of my straps had a little nick in it Not good, so I had to take that strap off and place it with a good strap Re-secure it Now we're good to go Alright, we are Ready to go strap down lock down chain down We have a tri-axle trailer because my reload is going to be a little heavy on the tail end It's gonna be an oversize coming back up here to Manitoba So just in case they gave me the tri-axle just so that I don't have to worry about being overweight I can be up to 40,000 pounds on my tri-axles in the US I'm rattling over there still can't figure out what it is better lock myself in I don't like driving without my hey That solved the rattling problem. I don't like driving Without my doors locked. It's usually the first thing I do when I get in the truck lock myself in Let's go So we have 881 kilometers 550 miles To our first delivery. We want to get there tomorrow sometime at a decent time I'm hoping that I can get both headers delivered tomorrow Chatfield and and Cosson, Minnesota are about an hour apart So I'm hoping I can get both of them off and delivered tomorrow and then get reloaded in the afternoon, maybe even I Hope so I mean if not, we'll have to grab that load the next day in the morning I'm gonna head about 20 minutes up the road to the Flying J and Santa gath where I'm gonna pull in there Check my load and make sure everything is where it should be in as it should be Make sure that nothing is loosened Looks like the load is staying put as it should I'm not expecting it to move, but I'm gonna pull in here anyways and just double check make sure everything is still tight I mean, I know I didn't miss anything, but you never know you never I always got a double check Might grab a coffee and right away is here, too I just got some new instant coffee and I'm gonna try out the instant coffee I had before was that I think a nest cafe brand Some brands some of their coffee I like some of their instant coffee was just terrible The last one I had made me more tired every time I drank it like I was more tired. It didn't make sense So I tried a new brand now or a new a new style of it anyways But I don't got any coffee or any water heated up right now. That's my fault I'll just treat myself Go inside just grab a coffee. I have food in here Karen, I'm not gonna make a u-turn. I'm going to flying Jane. She doesn't listen to me. This place looks pretty full Whoops, maybe I should turn those off Guys are trying to sleep here.
