 Good morning everybody. We're at home today. I was supposed to be going into Winnipeg to deliver that load this afternoon But the office They decided to deliver it for me. They needed the trailer a little sooner. I guess for another load So they called me up this morning said don't worry about your load. We've got it taken care of That's a nice surprise to wake up to you So that saved me half a day that I'll get to spend at home instead of running out and delivering that very thankful for that Thanks guys if you're watching. Appreciate that. I Still got some work to do today though as you can see we're in old blue I got to bring old blue to PBX to my mechanic technician shop And gotta get a little bit of maintenance done before my next trip Look things over That's what we're doing today dropping the truck off. The appointment is actually for tomorrow morning Fingers crossed. I'm hoping if I drop it off with them today Maybe maybe they'll get it in a little early and I can pick it up tonight We'll see what happens if you guys are watching no pressure. All right, no pressure Always in a rush. Always in a rush though. When you drop truck off always say you're in a rush. I Shouldn't let them know my secret like that, right? I Am kind of in a rush. I do have to leave early early Saturday morning So today when I'm filming this it's a Thursday That means I have today tomorrow and I have to leave like before the Sun comes up Saturday morning So technically I am in a rush. I am especially if the appointments for tomorrow morning All they got is tomorrow to look it over But they have never let me down before Never so I trust It's a pretty rainy miserable day This is still February and we have it's raining water like liquid water Strangest thing It's supposed to be like well, I shouldn't say it's supposed to be most usually it's like minus 30 minus 20 at least Look at this. It's springtime. This is amazing. I'm not complaining at all. This is great Next year. We're probably gonna pay for it though with like a super cold winter, but hopefully not This is so strange. There is a big snowstorm coming in in Colorado low Thanks, Colorado always sending us your wonderful weather and your storms But a Colorado weather Colorado low coming up. It's already in Saskatchewan to our left, which is West and probably about 400 kilometers away right now or about like 240 miles to our West it's coming this way So I'm kind of glad that I don't have to go into Winnipeg I can bring my truck to the shop before that weather hits And hopefully I can go pick it up after it's past mild February though this winter has been great like it's been so mild I Wish every winter was like this. Maybe we'll get lucky and this will be our winter some now on That's what they keep telling us right? I'm gonna bring it on Bring it on.

His truck is at his shop. He goes to a different one Maybe it's isn't the only good shop here. I'll be honest and say there's a lot of good mechanics and good shops around here This is just the one I go to They're the only ones I authorized to work on my truck. They have a history of working on this truck for over a decade So and they've always done good work for me So when I find a place that works for me and that does good. There's that there he comes I'm gonna get me When I do find a place that I trust that's I just I'm loyal that way But there's a there's a lot of good shops around here like Martin diesel That's another good shop in Steinbeck here That's where my dad gets his work done a lot of my friends get their work done there too Lots of other ones, but this is right go We're in the dad mobile the opa mobile now You do the rescue. Yeah, and now we got to go get his truck Bring my truck to the shop and pick up his truck from his shop What was wrong with your truck? Oh the drive shaft, right? More drive shafts the long front shaft with the u-joints in York's everything had to be new from Transmission all the way to the last differential Brand new you had it in for safety, right? Yes Oh, yeah It could have fixed it up, you know part of the nature was still good, but two pieces and welded back together It's better just doing the whole thing new Okay So we're gonna go and check their work on that And then I'm at home for today tomorrow, and then we head out early early in the morning You've been at home for a while Okay Yeah Get those miles Another one of our trucks here. Well, the guys come here. Yeah There's dad's truck with the white mudflaps. We're ready to go That's why you come here, right? Name is Martin. My name is Martin But that is the owner is mr. Martin. Oh, okay people asking you where's my royalty? Where's my share? You know, yeah, I Can't seem to get it out of Let's go take a look Brand new drive shaft. What does a brand new drive shaft look like that's new Where can we see it? You see it. This is a I believe it's a 2005 Freightliner classic dad's running dad's a big freight liner guy. He loves these trucks. I love Kenworth. He loves freight liner When I was a kid I went on the road with my dad all the time He had a freight liner then too, but it was a 1997 freight liner FLD So I had a little bit of a shorter nose He also had a classic back then too. He had a 1999 freight liner classic And he sold that he bought this whole probably 15 years ago already maybe 10 15 years ago I think it's a 2005 it might be a 2003 but It's an old-school truck too. It's Back when trucks were trucks and not computers Things a beast who knows how many miles he's got on it these things just keeps going and going and going he's got a Cat see 15 under the hood Solid engine It'll go a while yet Oh, that looks good What is that? Mango strawberries banana cereal and yogurt. Oh my save some for me No way. What was a this is all theos? Mmm This weather is crazy Everything's melting and it's raining still and we got the truck back already A lot quicker than I expected the appointment wasn't till tomorrow morning Told you they never let me down It's messy outside. So it's a little dirty already, but there's my new brake pot. That's what we had to get fixed today and While they did that I got to check and make sure that all my brakes were in proper adjustment Just while they were in there. So if anything needed adjustments, just check all the brakes So everything was all good. We're ready to leave on our trip in a couple of days I'm gonna come back here tomorrow though because I have another problem here this marker light that I have on the fender The wire corroded right out from in the light and I can't fix that So I ordered new ones, but they're not gonna be here for a week yet So my dad had spares, of course he did So I'm gonna put his spares on my truck so that I have legal lights to go through on my next trip Then when I get back my lights will be in there'll be clear lens because his aren't clear lens Otherwise, I would have just bought those off him what he offered to let me use those once my clear lens lights come in They'll be a little different than this. They won't have the The visors on there, but that's okay. It's gonna be a brighter better light and once Once those come in I'll switch them out again clean up the other ones that I borrowed from dad give those back to him and That's the plan right now. Let's go home. Let's go home. My wife has been expecting me at home for a little while already late These are the spares But they're not they don't have clear lens. Let's see I'm here one second This here say They are nice lights But they wouldn't match the rest of my truck because the rest of my truck has clear lenses, right? So these will work for a couple weeks until my new ones come in for a week or two and I don't get the proper ones I didn't like these ones anyways these lights Don't buy these if you see these on Amazon. They look cool right because they have the visors That's why I bought them on them. Cool They're they're not very bright. I don't like them poor quality and all the Like they get rusty with bolts. That's what hasn't rusted out yet, but I see in there See that and I've only had these for what a year Poor quality. I'm gonna try the next ones see if they're better Thanks for hanging out with me today and a little bit of a sneak peek into my time at home when I'm at home I'm usually not picking up the camera all the time Maybe I should sometimes I do I do sometimes sometimes I do more than other times a lot of the time I just like to Rest and enjoy my time At home If I do a lot of work when I'm on the road working, you know 14 to 16 hour days When I get home, it's nice to just sort of relax We had that that works to do in the shop that I was talking to you about there replacing those lights We'll talk more about that in tomorrow's video. I got one more day at home yet before we hit the road again And I also wanted to apologize as I was editing this video I noticed that there was a couple of clips in here where my stabilization on my camera Accidentally got turned off and I didn't realize that until I was editing it So it was kind of around when my dad picked me up from PBX there and brought me back to get his truck Sorry about that. Hopefully I didn't give you a headache. I Hate that when that happens, but I had to include those clips in the vlog It was part of the story when he came to get me I cut out the worst parts of it that were those shaking the most but We'll see I just realized now in the future that it had been turned off So I hope that the upcoming vlogs that I haven't edited yet that I have to edit for you are gonna be all right But if you get some shaky footage in the next few days, I apologize in advance The problem has been fixed now in the future, but we have to get to the future first where I am I am from the future Greetings, it's exactly how you thought nothing changed Still terrible Just kidding.
