 What you looking at diesel look look I got my flip flops on Very nice. Yeah, let me step on her what you looking at flowers They do look nice don't they they do Our grass is growing in a little Little better All these uh pedals are falling off of this apple tree now Making it look like some kind of romantic scene back here like I was saying the other day We got a jungle next door makes me feel a little bit better about our lawn I'm thinking about going over there and asking them if I can mow it for them Commander Are you finished? He's still looking for the perfect spot. I mean any spot's good at this point man any spot Chevy he's you have Oh your morning going Chevy are you swallowing me? Did you chew any of it? Before you swallowed it I don't think you chewed one bit Diesel hasn't even gotten to the kernels yet The day is monday. It's victoria day here in all across canada. Well, actually, it's not all across. Yeah, it's all across canada, right? Except for back because why would they celebrate queen victoria? All right, so in come back it's national patriots day I believe whatever that means So it's a it's a holiday either way who cares what we call it It's a day off of work The sun came out it was supposed to be thunderstorms and raining all day today and the sun came out Which was a nice little treat. I just got all the yard work done. You may have noticed Uh, I just want to let you know though a little pro tip when you're doing yard work It's a terrible idea to do it in heavy sweats that are made for winter time I don't know what I was thinking, but I wasn't thinking much Anyways, what's done is done. I'm gonna go show you what I did It's so nice that the yard work now only takes Uh, about, you know, 30 minutes to an hour instead of three days like it did at the old place What's up boys, should I have you want to come and see the yard? Come on, come on, buddy There you go all the rest of us are out here and wieners out here somewhere So, uh Got all the grass cut All the trimming done Oh, there's a wiener. I remember there's sunbathing on myself all along the fence here Uh, the parts of the fence where the bottom of the fence didn't quite touch the ground because the ground isn't quite level Uh, I just reinforced it with some one by sixes for now Just so that the dogs can't you know like Set the dog the wiener over there can't just you know slip under some of these spots I had to do it in the corner here too. We ripped out this flower bed that was in here gave more space in here and uh Filled it all in with dirt because there was huge gaps underneath the fence there like this top of this board here This is where the bottom of the fence was and there was like wiener could just clear walk right underneath it without even touching it So I had to build that up ripped out the Flower beds or whatever we had back here. We had some rhubarb growing back here Ripped that out because we just want this to be lawn back here. It's not like we can eat anything We grow in the yard anyways because it'll be full of dog pee Sort of put that image in your head, but it's true. That's why we can't grow anything in our yard Britt does have her flower beds out front So there's that and she's her flowers up on hooks like as long as we keep them up and the dogs can't get to them Yeah What do you guys think of our this is our little little yard We're not gonna invest too much into it obviously because we have that land That we're going to develop into our forever home, but this is going to be our home for Who knows like five plus years However long it takes for us to get the money together For a sizable down payment. I'd really like like a 50 down payment at least on our on our build that we're building And that's going to take a while. So we've got a two bedroom house here, which is it's plenty for us right now We've got a nice fenced yard for the dogs. Nice little area for them some sheds and some storage We've got to redo the cover on that this summer yet because it's you can see I've been patching it on the top already It's getting very brittle A new cover forward is like 350 bucks from canadian tire. I'm just gonna go and Pick one of those up later this year and get that done for now. It's holding I just don't think it's going to hold through another winter So I'd like to do that probably in fall time. Don't worry about that then it's it's doing its job for now Eventually we want to get rid of that whole That whole thing it's a carport, but we just use it as storage right because we we had to downsize quite a bit when we moved Here's some storage in there But what we want to do is get rid of that and you see how it's built up there on the ground It's higher than the rest of the yard. I'd like to if we were to stay here I would raise the rest of the yard up to be level with that But like I said, I don't want to invest too much into this yard because I want to invest into our build What we'd like to do though an investment we would like to do is take this carport down eventually And build a deck out over there and put a screened in gazebo right in that area there Because we have our sitting area up front here right now That's sort of just a makeshift little little sitting area. I can bring our cushions out again. I guess because the rain is done but uh, hey come out of the Come out of the door here and Got a little outdoor eating table that the barbecue about our patio set It's it's something right now, right? But we want to uh, probably build a deck up over this so you walk out the door Probably come out onto a deck right here and the deck will extend To where that is because this is all nice packed ground already Nothing that matters because you gotta you get it Put the deck right there nice screened in gazebo so you can enjoy the outdoors get some get some sunlight and uh Once the mosquitoes come because they're coming you know, they're coming Once they come you can enjoy the outdoors without getting eaten alive by mosquitoes You know the fire pit right there and enjoy it right from the screen I don't know. That's sort of my plan. That's really the only investment I want to do into this property But that might change. I mean five years is a long time Our ideas might change but either way we still want to build Right chevy You still want to build I want to build this so that you're still alive to enjoy it And we got to get on it. He's four years old this july. He has the same birthday as britt july 25th He's turning four years old wiener over there Turns 11 this year diesel wherever he is diesel. Where'd you go? diesel turns 10 in august And frank we have no idea we have no idea hear something Everybody's doing their yard work Sounds like someone's mowing their lawn over there man. Just like you. Just like you man I know A long weekend means you get to go outside and play with your friend play with your friends play with your uh You know, well your your power tool friends Right and lawn mowers But the day is so nice out right now. I want to stop blabbing back here right now I want to get the bike out and go for a ride that might run into winnipeg and just cruise around for the couple hours We've found ourselves downtown winnipeg in the exchange district This is a very old area of winnipeg from when winnipeg was in its boom. It's got all these 19th century buildings and stuff And most of them have been very well preserved Portage in main is just behind this car car park Here's richison building right there And there's main street right there. It's a beautiful day for a ride I'm trying to figure out a better spot for a mount these mounts I have on here because they fit perfect with the curve Curvature there, but if I put you on their sideways, I mean You'll be looking sideways like this which might be a cool view for some shots, right? But I'd like to have one where you're like looking at me And yes, I know my helmet is uh This is my atv helmet The helmet I have for this bike the nice closed face helmet Uh left it outside or where I stored it And uh a mouse decided to make a home of it and there was a mouse nest inside my helmet So gotta throw it out. I was actually gonna buy a new helmet today, but it's victoria day. Everything's closed So we're just choosing around with us And there's the famous winnipeg wind Winnipeg was always known as windy city of the north sort of like chicago's younger sister And much smaller sister All right, let's see if we can make this man Diesel look Look I got my flip flops on Very nice. Yeah. Very nice. Let me step on your feet Very nice Yeah, what's there was mom eating pizza on that chair? Wiener, how you doing? How you doing? Good to see you Nice flip flops very nice. Yeah I know the weather is beautiful out here. There's a wife over here Oh, wait, there was oh, she's going back in frank. Hey Y'all left me inside Knew you didn't love me How was your day? Long and boring And I missed all the sunshine. It just wasn't fair Yeah, she uh, she had to stay inside at work most of the day while we went out and Rode around a little bit But you were impressed with the yard. Yes Huh, huh? Spent some good man hours out here These things are temporary But for now they work just so that we don't worry about the wiener walking out We'll figure it out. Oh Pardon me. It didn't mean to interrupt bathroom break So our neighbor's lawn is like taller than my knees Because I went and I weed whacked on my side of the wrong along the fence on their side So it'll be easier for them with their more Oh, whenever they they want to get to that Remember we're talking about how nice our lawn was It is it's very nice and it grows very fast But they've been busy. They're working on those trees over there They'll get to it. They're good people. They're just really really busy And our lawn doesn't really need to be mowed that much because the dogs Pound it down, but I did mow it today. So it's all even at least And I got this back corner here Well, that's what I was going to the pickup for I got to get the uh tremors to trim some of this See got this flower bed all out of here got this leveled out here a little bit more I think I showed you this before didn't I? I'm showing it to you again Is it that time Chevy? Are you warming up my side of the bed for me? Thank you so much. Thank you You're such a good boy Tomorrow's back to work. So we got a short week this week at least Tuesday to Friday and uh Yeah, this was my weekend. We'll see you right here tomorrow again. We got some trucking to do I'm hoping to be able to take the bike in to work At least once this week. I take it in every day if the weather was good But I'm hoping that the weather will agree with me at least one day this week. It'd be nice because uh I went past work on the way home today with the bike to see how much fuel it would take on the way home So to go to work and back to be five bucks on my bike whereas on my Uh in my pickup it's about 15 bucks. So I'd be saving 10 bucks a day Taking the bike. It's just the weather is uh refusing to warm up in the mornings And it's been raining a lot because it's May So we'll see what happens anyways Chevy we'll see you guys tomorrow Diesel look look I got my flip flops on Here he goes
