 Morning from New Jersey. Land of face masks. To go into any public area or public service center here anywhere. I'm uh, I'm required to wear face masks so that I don't speak moistly on anyone. So we are what? About two hours away from where we're going to deliver our freight and then we're heading down to Augusta, Georgia. From Georgia we're picking up freight that's going back to Manitoba I believe. So we've got a few more days on the road yet before we can go home. It'll be a short visit at home and then I'll probably go on another somewhat short one and then I'll be back in the first week of June. We got to do a lot of work around the house. We got to install our back door, take that window out, put the door in, reframe it obviously and redo the drywall and paint and then also we have squirrels that are invading our territory at home again. Trying to get into our attic which is not good. I've already taken care of a couple of them and relocated them. But there's more. Britt just messes me saying that they're back. There's more of them. It's like a large family of squirrels and so what we're gonna do is they're getting up underneath our veranda. We're gonna finish that off so that they can't get up there. So that'll take at least a full day to do that. So we got a lot of work to do at home and we've got to get down as soon as we can so let's get to work here so that we can have maybe a little bit of money to pay for all that. I guess they take your picture of your license plate and they say sure Gord just got his 22 degrees Celsius here. I can't see it on the camera because of the fisheye lens. See that there's a nuclear power plant over there. Very fancy. It's energy we have available to us. It's so green here already. I mean look how tall the grass is. Our growing season must have started at least a month ago. We don't even have leaves on our trees yet at home. This looks like a full-on summer. Bit of a scenic road back here. We're getting close to the northern beneath Delaware on this little peninsula level like I was explaining to you. 18 miles or so to go. Drive yet down to Augusta, Georgia. Must be worth it. They're sending me there empty as long as those wheels are moving. I'll treat it like as if it was my own. Keeping it nice and clean. Maintained. We're all done unloading me. I didn't speak a word of English but we communicated with our own made-up sign language. It was fun. Diesel. Do you speak Spanish? No? No bueno? What does that mean? No bueno means not good, right? Anyways, we're empty now. We have a full days drive. 964 kilometers to where we're going to pick up our next load. So let's mosey on down there. We're gonna pick it up tomorrow afternoon and head home. It's three days drive home from there yet. So we got about four days ahead of us of just driving if the load is ready by tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow is Friday so I don't know if they're gonna work on Saturday. Hopefully they don't make me wait all the way till Monday to pick it up but I would rather spend those days off at home. So we're coming into Pittsville here, the actual town. There's a trunk van right there. There's a trunk light out here. We've got to turn not this intersection, the next one up there. Oh, we're nice in the light now. Feels so good. Feels like the light is a feather again, a little race car. It looks like a pretty old town here too. I guess that makes sense, right? I just learned that Delaware, their state slogan is the first state, right? Am I wrong? Does that mean that they were the first state? Is this where America began? Who knows? I don't know. I mean, we studied American history in school, in high school. We had to but I can't quite remember what the first state was and I don't think the US studies Canadian history. We studied their history though so we know all about them but they don't know much about us. Wait, did I say Delaware in the last clip? It's Maryland. We're in Maryland right now and Maryland slogan is the first state. I think. The comment section. I'm pretty sure. I can't Google it right now obviously. Maybe I'll tell you later. The first state. We got a copper coming up beside us here. In Cognito. I see you. I see you. You're in a ghost hall. It's not a copper. It's a public works vehicle that looks like a cop. Sneaky. So to get out of the southern little peninsula here into the mainland of Virginia, I guess you'd call it. We've got to go through through here and there's a van stopping to pay cash. I guess they're accepting cash at this toll booth. I've got an easy pass so I can just mosey on through once they start moving here. This is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Sounds interesting. Never been through here before. Apparently we might be over-height. I gotta wait for them to come out here and measure me. I guess I gotta drive underneath this thing here. I didn't see any signs. Maybe I missed them saying that I can't get underneath or into the tunnel with my 13 foot 6 trailer. I don't know what's going on but I guess if I'm too high I'm gonna have to go around. It was $43 to go over here. Hopefully they will let me through. Hopefully I'll fit. I mean I'm pretty sure I can get through. I wonder why it was set off the alarms. Apparently it set off the alarms that my trailer is too high. That's why I gotta come and wait here now for them. I'm glad that they have those warnings. You know it's better that than to hit the bridge with your trailer. Well there's a story for you. I got turned around. We've got to go all the way back up and cross over a different bridge into Washington DC. It's three hours back north. Let's try to get this thing here. I'm gonna get my phone up here. What's the bridge called? Should have gone on the bridge to begin with but we had decided that no it had looked like it was gonna be fine right? We got to go back to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. So we got our $42 back refunded for going through the toll they refunded that but I don't got to pay the tolls anyway but people back home pay for it. So they got refunded their money but I mean like all these other trucks that are here like that truck went through the bridge. Those trucks went through the bridge and apparently like we had to go underneath that thing that was in front of that bar and we just barely nicked it just barely hit it so they won't let me go through. They had the bridge authority or the cops or whatever they're just they're very friendly but they're just like I'm sorry we can't let you go through like can't risk it. I said that's okay I don't want to risk it either. It'd be a very bad day for me if I hit the bridge so I'll go back around. They had instructed me to go down here so we talked about it yesterday me and the load gods back home and said yeah it looks like it's a truck route and it is advertised as a truck route and trucks are supposed to be able to get through here but apparently they build their bridges and their tunnels with just like that much clearance and if you're just a little bit higher than the average truck I guess which I guess I am you hit it. Maybe you should dig your tunnels a little deeper there I'm just saying but whatever whatever little detour. We're gonna go back up and cross across into Washington DC. Maybe we'll see the president. Probably not. Probably not. You never know though. Back but here we are on the Chesapeake Bridge. We couldn't fit under the Chesapeake Tunnel so we're going over tough. I had to sit and wait for almost a half hour with all these people here because the bridge was closed for a little while. I'm not sure why. I thought I saw police lights up here. Bridge I wish we could see it during the day but get back here just to get over the water. Washington DC United States Capitol. There's a big blue ferris wheel over there. We got an amusement park that's pretty cool. I'm not sure if you're able to see it but off to our right we're on the bridge We're just in Maryland right now. We'll watch from in DC. It's just off to our right. This day's White House.
