 Well, my friends, it's another one of those days Snow day Didn't make it to work. I got well I usually go down the 52 from Steinback and that road was closed the radio said there was a pile up there I hope everybody's okay And a lot of blowing snow zero visibility, so I went up 311 looked like it was gonna be better Literally 10-foot drifts over the entire road There was a big front-end loader there working on it. He's gonna be there a while. I don't know how the snow got that high It's crazy That's crazy. It's like a two-story building on the middle of the road big snow drift It was too dark to film it. My camera didn't pick it up, so Trust me it's huge tremendous So I called the boss and I said well our Texanum said hey roads. I can't get to work I'm trying I'm trying and I looked at 511 Manitoba the road report and they just closed all the roads after I left home God that makes sense. I mean so the roads are closed now, so all of us here on the road right now We're just headed back to our homes Might have to work tomorrow on Saturday now to make up for this, but that's okay. At least I At least I have the opportunity to make up for lost income, right So it looks like another day of farming for me This winter has been pretty crazy already There's been a lot of snow a lot more than we've had in recent years, you know, everybody was telling us Oh climate change everything is changing. We don't get snow anymore pretty soon We're gonna have a green Christmas or a brown Christmas like with with no snow. That's the way we're headed You know, everything's warming up, you know And then this year rolls round and they're like, oh, we're getting 10 feet of snow across the road It's climate change. This is how it's gonna be from now on We're gonna have we're gonna have so much snow our houses are gonna be buried from now on so it's gonna be better get used to it Pay your taxes Now there's gonna be a snow tax I'm just joking around Beating around the bush here. Maybe I shouldn't be joking about taxes and stuff with everything going on right now Everybody's pretty heated up Pretty upset with everything going on, but I'm trying to keep it light here on my channel I do acknowledge everything that's going on in my country. I'm keeping up with it very closely a lot Do you want me to comment on it? And I'm trying my best to keep this channel here non-political Okay, I have my opinions and I'll just tell you if you want to know what my opinions are. Just if look at my location on a map I'm from Western Canada. Okay That's that's where I stand Canadians know Western Canadians We're a little different. Yeah, anyways In town here's not too bad roads are doing all right nothing to really report there are Everything that's going on there are big protests and stuff rolling through town all the time Yesterday there was another big one during the day and then last night they were honking their horns everywhere That's that's sort of a good way to describe how To people who aren't from Canada when you say when I say I'm from Western Canada. They're like, oh, what does that mean? There's a lot of horns honking everywhere. That's what it means everywhere you go Canada flags horns honking people driving around in convoys Just the thing do That's that's what Western Canada is They're very upset right now You might be thinking to yourself if you're not from Canada, you're like, oh, I thought all the noise and all the action was in Ottawa. Oh, yeah, that's the one that's in the news all the time. It's not just in Ottawa It's in every major city in the country Everywhere and all the countryside every small town This town gets noisy Very passionate very passionate tomorrow Saturday. It's the weekend. All of these people get off work It's gonna be busy. It's gonna be noisy. It's gonna be passionate. We'll see what's I'm gonna happen, but Yeah, it's a it's a very passionate time in our country right now I've never seen so many Canada flags flying everywhere. I mean, maybe it's not like that in every part of the country But I know out west here. That's all you see. That's all you hear And we're back I only got like half an hour of farming in very Disappointing very disappointing. I didn't even screen record any of it That's how little time I had the weather cleared up the roads opened up and I got the message. Hey Roads are open. There we go. It's 9 30 a.m. Right now. So we're headed in a little bit later than usual We're a little behind I have to go up to to lawn pick up some stuff and then I have a few Other things to get done today yet. I believe in Arbor We'll see I have to pick up some stuff in too long. That's all I know right now and then We'll go from there. The roads are all open. You got Subaru's drifting around corners You know, it's gonna be a good day Looks like we still got the cleanup crew out here. Oh, whoo, I got rear-ended pretty bad this car stuck here Yikes. Oh That guy got rear-ended there Well, the roads are open They don't look open But the government website told me they were open and My boss told me they were open So Here we go. I'm sure it gets better I did look at the traffic cams and stuff and everything does get better out there just like yesterday But we're gonna take her easy Take her easy The boss says the roads are open the roads are open, right? The government said it too, so we can't argue with the government, right? They're always right. If you ever wondered what Manitoba would look like on like a postcard Here it is Beautiful, isn't it? Got a little house on the prairie right here. The road's actually not too bad here. We just gotta Watch some of these drifts. They're a little bigger and harder than they look Drifts may be harder than they appear You don't want to hit it and it might suck you into the ditch So there's putting along here going kind of slow We got good traction on the road itself When we get into the the treed in areas that gets a little bit sketchy But I'm almost at the customer now We're gonna load up our freight and then I'm supposed to go up to Arbor and grab something else I don't know if I'm gonna make it up there now Because I had to get to work late today because I was literally blocked by that 10-foot drift Warning so I couldn't get to work Man, these drifts are going right over the lane here So judging by the condition of these roads here, we'll probably just pick up our freight around the corner here and head back But we'll make that judgment call once we get there On highway 67 here headed westbound towards highway 8 Now, 7 Yes, 7 I'm gonna go a little ways up 7 to Toulon We'll see how good that road that road's a little bit Better established than this road. It's also not It's also going straight into the wind and here you got the wind going over the road, right? Which creates these drifts So north-south roads will be in better condition than east-west This winter has been something else though Even for Manitoba even when you get Manitobans saying stuff like wow She's quite the winter out there, isn't she? Yeah, you know that it's a pretty bad one We got quite a bit of snow a lot of a lot of wind But it's been good. Yeah, it's been good We're on our way to spring now. We're past the deep freeze Stuff I think it's gonna go down to about minus 33 tonight yet And that's probably gonna be the last night I'm sure if not one of the last nights where it gets that cold before you know it will be pulling out the motorcycle Getting her all polished up and ready for our first ride uneventful day But that's a good day, especially on a Friday, you know, no problems. No issues The only problems we had were in the morning We had that blizzard first of all that slowed us down And then we had the frozen brakes on the trailer I was pulling every single last one of them was frozen top and bottom That was great had some help getting those released And now I got a park next to these fine ladies and get ready to go home It's the weekend. We have a bunch of plans this weekend. It's gonna be fun a lot of fun Let's plug her in and go and it never stops It just keeps snowing Making up for all the past years. We didn't get much snow in past years here. So Hopefully we don't get too much the last couple years of farmers didn't get enough moisture over the winter for their crops to grow properly through The summer it was very dry and now this next year. I have a feeling we might have problems with flooding But as I'm closing this up here, we're having another blizzard On the weekend, you know, this is how I remember winters being as a kid but then for the longest time in my young adult life the winters were so mild and so Hmm Yeah, I always loved having a snowmobile when I was younger because there's always so much snow, right? And then as I grew older, I was like, well, what's the point of having a snowmobile now? We never get any snow 2022 made up for it all so In the morning I headed off to work but that pile up you saw us drive past there when I first got to it there They had the highway closed So I had to turn around and go up and try and take the 311 which goes through Blumenord It's just a different highway that runs parallel to it And I got through Blumenord and there was literally a 10-foot drift over the entire road So I had to turn around and go back Nothing I could do about that and then the boss said just stay home for a while until about 9 30 And then they had the roads all cleared up and they were still cleaning up that accident But they had opened the roads which is weird, right? I thought that they would clean up the accident first and then reopen the road, but It is what it is. I guess we got to work and Got our work done got the week done and now I need to rest I really need to rest this weekend because this whole week my like I was saying in past videos My brain is just in a fog Just need some sleep. High time for the weekend be back to myself next week. I hope See you guys later
