 wasn't supposed to start until noon here and it's 9 o'clock now so it's early but I'm hoping it's gonna clear up because in Kanora where my load is it's not snowing there yet and there it's not supposed to start until 3 o'clock so hopefully the forecast is right there because I want to get loaded and then it looks like a winter storm is rolling in as you can see here's the beginning of it I'm gonna be taking that load back and waiting out the winter storm and I'll deliver it Monday because if it's this bad already I don't even want to know how bad it's gonna be tonight and tomorrow is a holiday it's Remembrance Day in Canada Veterans Day here in the States and I can't deliver tomorrow anyway and there's no way I'm getting through this storm look how slow we're going now and it hasn't even started yet so I'm hoping I at least pick up the load today so I can pick it up get it tarped and then get it to the yard where it's safe and then go home stay home at or go home and stay warm through all of this it's gonna be a fun day I really hope this weather's gonna let up a little bit I'd like to at least get loaded before you know it gets too bad getting very close to the border and things are clearing up that's good that must have just been the first wave that came over here so I'm just gonna pull into the Senex here at the corner of the 11 just over there a few miles is Canada right in here see this isn't bad I don't mind this kind of snow it's inconvenient you got to slow down and then it makes your truck all dirty I'm okay with this we have to have winter right this is the north it's when it's just excessive and blowing everywhere that's it's not fun it's not fun at all and then the cold comes that's definitely not fun minus 50 degrees is not fun I don't care what you say that is not fun but we deal with it right and there's no use complaining about it because it's the way things are I mean we complain about it anyways obviously but is what it is it's coffee time coffee numero dose do two it's the only three ways I know how to say two oh wait hi hi it's five dry it's five right five am I saying that right I have like German ancestry I don't know if I'm saying it right or not I don't know I'm Canadian I was born here I speak English I am a subject of King Charles I am now English I guess I don't speak French I speak a little bit of French there is a whole province in Canada you guys all know this that speaks French that's Quebec and we have created one confederation all under one flag and I think that's pretty cool that we can all get along that way we don't always see eye-to-eye on everything but even if they don't like it at least the crown unites us right all united under the crown this is my coffee that I use see Nestle rich intense see that okay in these little cups I bought two smaller cups last weekend so this weekend when I do my grocery shopping I gotta get the bigger cups okay remind me I use one cup per day and then I just reuse it through the day and end of the day I throw it out recycle right trigger Josh Josh goes through puberty apparently trigger Josh reduce reuse recycle you didn't think I was one of those guys did you I bet you're not gonna believe this either but I'm not a vegan if I was I would have told you in the first 10 seconds so there's that and then I have these creams here that I keep in my cooler my last two so this will be my last coffee well my last cream for coffee anyways in the truck and just put two in these little one right here grab another one right here there we go you have to make that sound otherwise it doesn't taste right okay and I go over here I get my water wait there my water which is boiling in my little cup here things are terrible to pour out of I know there's way better kettles that I could get my even pointing you in the right direction can you guys see me I think I have you on the fisheye wide angle so you can probably see everything in here okay this is how you got to do it you just got to pour it really fast either you got to do it like really slow like this oh and then it spills out anyway or you can just like just send it and then it gets everything wet anyways see it's just water it'll dry but whoever designed these I like the size of it I liked it that it's easy to make water in the truck and I mean that make water make water hot in the truck but gotta adjust the spout man that is not convenient I'll get a better one eventually don't worry so as I pour it in there that fast another reason I dump it in so fast is because that mixes all the instant coffee then I don't have to stir it because I'm lazy I do not stir my coffee on my own like the peasants no what do I look like a vegan that's that kind of organized here wipe up all the water with a piece of tree now we're ready to go you guys want to see what the truck looks like I have an empty step deck behind me it's probably really dirty by now I don't want to stay here too long we have to beat this storm I'll give you a look okay because I care about you I'll let you see it there we go it's already gathering quite a bit snow on here that's extra weight that's what we're working with all right let's keep going put the street in my blog because I like the old architecture 200 meters turn left on second Avenue US 53 and then turn left in 900 meters eating yourself just in case you forgot it didn't hear me the other 16 times I told you there's a left turn coming up ahead I will tell you five more times before you get there don't worry oh shoot I need money to cross here oh good thing I just remembered that I'm gonna park right here and go into duty-free and get some cash oh I hate that about this border crossing they only accept cash I think it's like 13 bucks or something to cross only into Canada you don't have to pay to cross in the US gonna run across the street here grab some cash thanks for reminding me guys that would have sucked remember just in time there's a place to park right here on the street they won't just give me free money I mean I could try I've never tried before just don't think I don't think that was kind of people I mean they're not the government technically isn't a duty-free government that's the only place I know where you can get free money nowadays very strange they didn't have an ATM no cash I went to a government facility and they didn't have any money for me I gotta walk all the way over here to this gas station or something that's what he said around the corner hey there's snow all the way there just to get a 20 it's a crisp one too I hope they don't think it's fake I hate that when ATMs dispense like freshly minted bills whether it be on Canada or US side of the border but especially US because I'm a Canadian right and this isn't this isn't my home country it's not my home currency so when I give them like a fresh crisp American $20 bill I know what it looks like I've got a printer no I don't I don't can you imagine I wonder what the penalties would be for like a foreigner I don't attack me I am a foreigner in the US and technically we're sibling countries with the same people but yeah I'm a foreigner so when yeah when a foreigner if they would use fake money even if it wasn't like on purpose like I got a $20 bill from the ATM what if the ATM gave me a fake $20 bill and I use it and they bust me for fraud or you know money printing or whatever the laws are that's very illegal what happens do I go to jail in the US do I get deported to Canada and told never to come back why do you have to give me such a crisp brand new bill it makes me nervous give me one of them old ones that's been around the country for like 20 years in Canada our money is plastic too right so when you get a freshly minted new Canadian dollar bill it's like this it's indestructible you can't rip it but you shouldn't put it in the dryer make sure you don't have it in your pants because you put in the dryer it'll shrink up like a candy wrapper try explaining that one at least that's what I'm told it would you have never actually tried it if we should do that that'd be a fun YouTube experiment take like a $5 bill so I'm not gonna take like a 20 or 100 you know 20 bucks could practically buy me a chocolate bar nowadays I mean I'll use a $5 bill we'll see if it actually shrinks up in the dryer anyone got a five they can borrow me you don't think I'm gonna use my money do you now you're funny all right let's go give them our money so we can go home as if they like charge me to go home I would understand if they charge me to come to the US like hey you want to come visit us you gotta pay no it's free to come to the US what they should do is they should charge Americans going into Canada and charge Canadians coming into the US or vice versa I guess going back that would promote more tourism and cross-border trade right get the people to come in like Americans come on down for free we got you but you're gonna have to pay to go home and you don't tell them that till they're already crossed the border right that's how you get them that's how you get I already got my 20 got this rail line that goes right past the border here never seen a train on it until yesterday freaked me out I was like I don't think they actually use these tracks they have joined the 21st century that is awesome just a little while ago but how you need money to crowd now you just need a credit card $16 if you're wondering for five axes this is Ontario for the storm hits that's the whole theme of today I know I've repeated that a couple of times that's the theme get loaded get home get home get loaded get home wait it works out the way it's supposed to I'm glad that I'm gonna be able to set this storm out actually at home and not in my truck by myself that's the whole plan missing a 20 week ultrasound for Brit not even sure if they're gonna let me in the room with them anyway an ultrasound of the baby gonna have any answers or anything on Monday that'll be at our next prenatal appointment which is next month I think so me being there and taking off work doesn't really doesn't really benefit anything but I am kind of sad though cuz it's my commitment to be there for every single special event every single thing ever for this baby this kid even after they're born but the hard truth of it is that I'm not gonna be able to make it to everything what I can commit to though is being there for every really special the big days the big days but no I'm not the only one there's a lot of guys out there that are truckers that want to be there for their family for a whole whole bunch of special events and you know sometimes you just you have to go to work and we're trying to build a house and that's what I'm seeing it as that you know I'd love to be there but instead I'm gonna go and make some money so I can give that baby a nice home to grow up in keep them warm through the winter get them food and I'm gonna have to buy a whole bunch of stuff we're redoing the nursery got to buy a stroller car seat or maybe a two-in-one diapers all this stuff you know got to go to work I always understood it when I was a kid and my dad went to work and he wasn't there for all my hockey games I I never held that against him I always knew that he was doing what he had to do and that because he was doing that you know I was playing hockey I could get all my hockey equipment that my kids understand too sometimes dad is just gonna have to go to work so that we can have all the things we have for free
