 It was just a short stop at home back to work This trip is gonna be a little sad because I don't got diesel with me. I Know I know you can turn away from the video if you want I know you're just here to see diesel and Chevy and Frank You got none of them for the next couple of days on my channel You want to see him you can go over to my wife's channel reds beat It's down below in the description below this video. You go click her link and go subscribe to her channel there This trip it's just me it's me and you just setting up the truck here right now and I'm delivering this freight to that same place That gave me trouble for having a dog last time I was there. So I don't want to deal with that again. I Left diesel at home with his brothers and his mom She's got lots of family around them, right? I He'll probably have a blast Stuff set up here. I can actually have my bed set up the whole time now and it'll stay clean It'll be so weird It's a really cold morning again Not as cold as it has been but it's cold minus 26 or so. I think I went down to minus 27 this last night But the rest of the week is supposed to start warming up and we're at the tail end of the deep freeze of winter here in Manitoba anyways This is the last week Proximately of our cold cold weather. It's already starting to warm up like it's not minus 35 anymore That's minus 25 and Next week should be even warmer as we approach March and then spring is on the way just around the corner So we made it through winter guys. We made it through the worst of it Of course, I'm getting every light red and heading late here Just fuel up at the flying J. I Like fuel up there because I get points there. I'm saving up save it up with points It's supposed to be a scale up ahead here from what I've heard It's closed or there's supposed to be a closed scale. I should say I know there's a scale Just outside of town and then it's pretty much just boring prairies all day today and tomorrow So you guys know what that means you got to put up with my boring voice talking about nothing Not much to see out here But then again those of you who aren't from the prairies or Midwest of the US you may not see flatlands like this every day So maybe it's interesting to you. I don't know You can see your dog run away for three days. That's both the most Cool thing about this region It's cold a lot of farming a lot of oil Outwest the western prairies a lot of oil. Well, there's a lot of oil just sitting there waiting to be used It's not really being Dug up right now There's 16,000 jobs in Alberta lost in January alone 16,000 from the reports That's all oil field jobs because they're Just hurting out there. That's why that convoy is in Ottawa right now There's so many people losing their jobs and families not being able to supply food for their kids It's getting real bad for them out there And the load I have on me right now these steel plates, they're going to the oil fields as well One of the few ones that are still operating Here's the scale and it is closed And a closed scale is a good scale They're the best ones everybody says it everybody knows it the closed scales are the best scales believe me Well, we stopped in at Moosamine didn't get my regular Timmy's there, but back on the road I got a co-op coffee back on the road and something's going on here. Look at this Flashing lights and remember flashing lights in the province of Saskatchewan You are required by law to slow down to 60 kilometers an hour or Just below 40 miles an hour. I don't know what's going on. Oh, there's a truck in the ditch. There's a truck in the ditch This is highway patrol a peace officer Saskatchewan highway patrol all same thing. Okay Well, somebody that's not where you were supposed to bring the pigs buddy Whoops the bacon is gonna get all cold there I guess it's gonna be even colder once it gets into my fridge in my freezer So So I have another What do I got eight hours to go to my destination? I'm not gonna make it quite all the way there today I have a reload in the city of Edmonton. That's taking me back to Winnipeg The load is actually going down to Iowa, but I'm gonna take it to Winnipeg and another driver is gonna take it from there I need to go home. This truck needs a little bit of work again I know right again. It's got to go back into the shop. It's trucking for you My have I told you this already my oil feed line How are you pour the oil into the engine? Simply simply put has a crack in it and when you pour oil down there It's supposed to go into the engine, right? Well, it goes on to the ground for me. That's not good for the earth Not good for my pocketbook either because that's wasted oil on the ground It's no good to me on the ground It has a crack in the oil feed line so I need to get that replaced and taking it to the shop in Steinback where I like to go and Getting that replaced. I also have a Hum coming out of my front driver side steer tire. I don't mean here it or not You have to sort of know what the truck sounds like to here. There it is No one sounds like rushing wind, but I know my truck. That's not wind gushing over the truck gushing over brushing over That's my wheel hub or my wheel bearing. I think I think so I need to get a mechanic to look at that I think what happened is when I delivered my last load into BC that load of glass To get into their yard. They didn't have a proper driveway built yet It was still just like a curve up. They hadn't like You know made it a driveway, but that's the only way to get in there and I hit the curb pretty lightly I didn't I didn't rock it myself over the curb But I guess I hit it just a little too fast like a little bit. I don't know when I hit it. I heard a click And ever since then I've had this humming noise that I feel is getting louder. I don't know if it's just in my head or not So they've got to take a look at that. I've just replaced that wheel hub, too And if it broke again, it's a waste of $900 Fixed it again. And what else is wrong? Oh, yeah, my steering wheel is not lined up I don't know if that's connected to that wheel issue, but I Steering alignment on my steering wheel here isn't lined up. So I'm hoping they can fix that Feels like I'm making a left turn all the time, but I'm going straight So my truck's got to go into the shop on Monday So I want to be home. So I'll pick up the low Thursday morning in Edmonton. I'll be home Friday midday Saturday we're doing our donation. I know I thought it was last Saturday I know I told you it was last Saturday. I made a mistake and I think I forgot to even clarify that with you guys But maybe you know already because I'll probably release a video sooner than this that we're doing our donation From leftovers from Frankie's surgery or fundraiser. We did Promise to donate that and we're giving it to in a donation to shelter in Winnipeg and Manitoba that helps dogs find homes pretty much I believe they find stray dogs from up north and they bring them to the city and Try to find a good home for them and they need food and playpans and toys So we're bringing them a whole pickup bed full of food and Britt's vehicle is full of toys Excuse me. I'm spitting excited full of toys and stuff. So we're doing that on Saturday on Sunday I believe we wanted to go visit my sister who was involved in that accident recently And on Monday this truck's going into the shop and Tuesday. I wanted to do nothing I just wanted to sit, but I don't know if that's gonna happen. I might have to go back to work then And Boom found a spot here in sasca. Don't just catch one. We're staying here at the flying J It's just on the other side of town from the gym Did a pretty good workout today. I think I got a hour of walking in burn a little over 300 calories What else is I gonna tell you? I? Did the rolling hills route again, so The the treadmill acts as if you're on hills right so it'll go on more of an incline go down You guys know how they work right so I did an hour of that and then I did some back Exercises before I left the gym and now we're here and I am ready to sleep one thing I like about getting back into working out regularly is that when it's time for bed It's time for bed and I'm ready to sleep There is no Tossing and turning rolling around because I can't sleep. No my body is tired The hard part is getting up in the morning because that's usually when I'm the most sore right But I'm getting used to it eventually. It won't be that bad anymore, but thanks for watching today Glad you're here Otherwise, I'd be all alone. I don't even have weasel here with me It's just an empty bed there. Can you see it here? Let's turn this light on here. Oh Oh, oh, oh see it's just an empty bed But it's a clean empty bed That's something that's not usual right you got dog hair all over by now This would be a clean trip tomorrow. I have to deliver this load around midday I made my appointment for noon, but I'm gonna try to be there for 11 I did that on purpose because I want to be there early I would rather be there an hour early and surprise them then be there an hour late and surprise them And from there I got ahead to Edmonton on Thursday morning or the next morning We have to load a load of lumber that's taking me home. I Have to get home for this weekend. I was telling you earlier. We're doing this donation Sort of like a food drive. I guess you call it for dogs Getting gonna get our whole pickup bed full of food. It's gonna be a couple of thousand Well, I wish money to be I haven't even looked at the numbers yet. We've been We haven't been putting this off. We've just been waiting for an opportunity when they can accept the donation and Also when I'm home at the same time that they can accept it. That's why it's taking so long But we're gonna make a whole special video explaining everything. I promise I know I've been saying that for like a month already, but it is coming It is coming We're doing it this Saturday and that's why I got to go straight home from Edmonton with a load of lumber That's just paying for my fuel pretty much But I promised I was gonna do this and we're gonna get it done and we're gonna take you guys along with us It's gonna be a lot of fun. It's gonna be really cool to see the the looks on their face when they see how much It added up to and how big of a donation we can bring them I think we'll be pretty pleased with how much we can we can do so Like we said and we promised like that extra money That's not for us. That goes to help other dogs in need So thanks for watching. I think I already thank you. I'm gonna thank you one more time. Okay. Thank you for watching I hope you tune in tomorrow hit that subscribe button and hit that like button if you did like the video if you Didn't like the video hit the thumbs down button doesn't really matter to me If you engage with my video either way it helps me, I don't care the thumbs down help me just as much as a thumbs up It really doesn't do anything But I Had preferred if you did thumbs up. I like that one better Makes me feel nice thumbs down kind of makes me feel sad sometimes But actually you know what it doesn't really matter to me anymore It used to when I first started making videos I get a bunch of thumbs down on a video and I sort of had to learn from experience what topics to talk about what not to Talk about and sometimes I know That I'm getting into a topic. That's gonna get me a bunch of thumbs down, but It doesn't really affect me anymore because that's one thing YouTube has done for me It's really boosted my I guess self-confidence and self-esteem not to the point of where I'm super arrogant I don't ever want to get to that point, but it it it's gotten me to a point where You know, I believe what I believe and I say what I say and if people don't like it. That's okay That's okay. I never mean to offend people. I never mean to Getting people's faces and I know that so if they feel like I am targeting them or you know Trying to start stuff. I know that I'm not so it doesn't really bother me when they get all upset People can get upset if they want to and say whatever they want to I rarely monitor My comment sections. I always read them. I'm always down there reading your comments, but I rarely Remove comments usually only if they're like super super personal Insults to my to my family my wife sometimes I get a little protective depends what mood I'm in depends what the comment is but as a rule I let you I want you guys to say whatever you want to say down there I mean, I'd be pretty hypocritical if I would be an advocate for my own opinions and say my own opinions And then stop you from sharing yours because that's how I learn sometimes my opinions are wrong and by hearing opposite opinions I Can learn I'm at a point in my life where I've sort of Sort of dug in my roots of what I believe But it's still nice hearing Different opinions right it's always nice I always encourage people don't block that out of your life. Don't block out Don't get yourself in an echo chamber like Twitter Oh, I do not like Twitter because Twitter is filled with echo chambers People only follow people that they agree with and I think the same way they do and then they all follow each other They all like each other's tweets and they all retweet each other and they don't realize that they're in an echo chamber Try to get outside Your usual, you know your usual groups and Dive into what other people think I did that today I went on to Twitter and I went into a couple of echo chambers where I didn't belong who Believe me. I realized pretty quick that this was not my echo chamber that I was the oddball out And I stated what I believed and I left it there. They tore me apart and We'll try to you know through every insult and slander and buzzword in the book at me, but Hey, at least I know what they think I tried to challenge them on what they believe I didn't get any answers I just got a bunch of insults, but Hey makes me feel better about where I am because if all you got is insults to throw back at me I think I'm doing pretty good So once again, thanks for watching. I've been talking for too long again. I'll see you tomorrow
