 Good morning everybody We had a few days off at home, and we're back in the truck right now. I have no trailer behind me But the trailer we brought here last week with all my tarps and all my equipment on it today I had to take all that equipment back because there's No other tarps and no other equipment to replace it for me for this next trip So the next driver who's taken that load is going to put his equipment on it. It's a little bit of a weird system But we have to hold on to our own equipment because if I leave my tarps on there I may never see them again, and these tarps are mine. I pay for them. I'm leasing them I haven't paid for them in total, but I rent them. I lease them So if they disappear, I have to pay for them so I Took them back. They're mine, and now we're gonna go pick up a trailer in Rosenort, Manitoba You know it's already preloaded there. I just got a tie-down. It's like make some farm equipment some augers or something like that I'll show you when we get there And a tie-down that's going down to Illinois. We're exactly in Illinois We are going to drum roll Monmouth Illinois M-O-N-M-O-U-T-H Monmouth Illinois And we got to be there today is Monday, so we got to be there On Wednesday Yep, so we got a little bit today and all day tomorrow.

Okay, and if it has fallen off you have Failed Okay, because it shouldn't fall off Oh, I think the weasel needs a walk. I think we need to go on a weasel walk I'm gonna have to go and find a place in the back here off to the side We're out of the way These are what you think you think they think I would be very well made very well I would think so too The question is where should we stop? And this why is this bison guy just doing laps Probably doing what I do can't pick a spot. I can never pick a spot. No spot is good enough ever What is he doing now? Dude, that's not a driveway What are you doing? Is he realizing that that's not a driveway? Don't back up don't back up. I'm going you're backing up. You're backing up dude What are you doing? First off when you back up make sure you put your four ways on just so that you know people know that you're doing something weird and something different I don't know what that guy's doing Maybe he's drunk Hopefully not be ridiculous. We're gonna park right off on the side here diesel. What you think? What you think? Right here No truck parking a long curb well They said no truck parking they didn't say no weasel walking I'm sure they'll forgive us for stopping here for five minutes to walk a weasel Roth say Roth say Roth say Roth say Minnesota Minnesota Another cops sitting over there. There's always lots of cops around this truck stop kilometer. Keep to the left on CR 88 Gotta wonder why why is there so many cops here all the time? Is there a reason for that or is this just where they like to hang out? I hope that they're not, you know Busy catching bad guys around here all the time because I sleep here quite often If I find out that that's the case, I don't want to stay here anymore See we can find a spot to park here I'm gonna go park against the back Somewhere over here Oh, yeah plenty of space plenty of space to park here For sure We'll find a spot Oh, what is this?
