 Good morning everybody. It's Monday again. It's March. It's March 28th 2022. We're ready to get back to trucking. I spent the weekend polishing up the truck. I hope that it doesn't get dirty right away but we'll see what happens. Let's get going. I spent the weekend cleaning these rims and I'm still not done. They're never going to shine like brand new but I should really show you the before and after pics. I scrubbed these things so at least they're clean right? That took hours and like you can tell not quite done yet but it's a lot better than it was. So slowly bit by bit this summer I want to get this thing shining. It's like I always say right if it can shine it should shine and it will shine. I might even go and replace these half fenders myself because they're not matching and it's driving me absolutely crazy. That's not going to be on the top of the list but you know if we get down to that part of the list and these things still aren't matching oh they're going to match one way or another. I'll figure it out. Yeah and we're hooked up to one of our oldest trailers that we have with the rusty rims just just to make my truck look a little bit better. Yeah just make it look a little bit better. Let's go around to the side that has the sun shining on it. That's probably where I should have started all this right? So you're shining a little more than they were anyways right? Or a lot. Thanks to bullsnot cleaning products they actually worked really well. You gotta admit it looks better than it did right? That's all I was going for. So my next project is polishing up these fuel tanks. See how shiny you can get those fuel tanks again. And some of you might ask you know why do I spend my time shining up a truck that's not even mine? Well it's because I like it. I like doing it. Polishing trucks and cleaning trucks to me is a good day. I mean I don't know if I'd want to do it for a living but if it's the truck I'm driving I find it very satisfying and a good way to spend my weekend. That way I can roll around in a clean shiny truck. I mean it's a win-win really. They get their truck shined up. I get a shiny truck to drive and I'm happy. So why not? Ah I get that response everybody. Well why would you do that? It's not your truck. Why not? You want to drive a dirty truck every day? And I'm just shining up. I've got time. It's stress relief. It's anxiety relief for me. You know gives me a sense of accomplishment and Britt was working all weekend. So instead of just sitting at home playing video games I mean I could have gotten a ways on my farm or simulator game. A farm simulator 2022 is the game I'm into right now. I guess I could have gotten pretty far in that but why not do something a little more productive? You know it made me feel good about it. I don't care. Not everybody would do it. I understand but makes me happy. All right that's all that matters. I'm happy. Had a good weekend. That was good. It was a lot of fun. Those fuel tanks though are going to be a little bit of a challenge. That's okay because the rims I did it all by hand. I don't have those special tools or anything. I got all the products to get it done but the tanks might take a little while. Maybe I'll do one at a time. You know and just slowly see what works. See what works the best and then once we get them clean it's a lot easier just to keep it clean then and when you get some dirt and dust on it you just wipe it off right away and it doesn't get to the point where they're at now. The old girl just needs a little bit of love. She just needs some attention. She just needs to be cared for. I got nothing better to do. Why not go and shine up a truck? Well I guess I could probably find other things to do. The house needs some work and the snow's melting and I got to take the Christmas lights down and I always got videos and stuff on YouTube to get done. There's always something to do. Welcome to being an adult right? So kids when you grow up you have something to look forward to. Always work to do. There is never a day where you just have nothing to do. Boredom does not exist when you're an adult. It doesn't exist. I don't know what it is. I forget what it feels like to be bored because there's always always always something to do. One two three go! Let's go trucking. Let the week begin. So this morning we had to move some freight from one trailer to another trailer. The trailer it was on was a little damaged so we put it into this one and now I'm taking that freight along with me going to go pick up nine feet of freight of an Arberg and then all of the freight together is headed down somewhere. Don't know don't care. It's going somewhere. I'll figure it out when I get there. My job is to go get the Arberg stuff. It's noon now and I have about one more hour to go to my to my shipper. I'm really hoping that they're ready for me and that they can get this nine foot section on real quick and I can get out of there by three o'clock. I have an appointment today at five at my house. Gotta get back to the house by then. We have a company that's coming to give us an estimate on our crawl space. We want to get that vapor barrier right? Or at least possibly put dehumidifier built for a crawl space down there. Something that'll bring the humidity down under there as we're trying to make a few upgrades to the house. And he's going to be at our house at five o'clock today and I didn't really want Britt to... I know Britt's at home. She can let him in. I just wanted to be there as well in case she was uncomfortable with this strange guy coming into the house. I don't think she would have a problem with it but husband's instinct. You know I want to be there when they're there just to... Plus I want to ask him questions in person of what he's planning on doing, what he thinks our options are, what it's going to cost. We have a pretty small crawl space. Like a very narrow crawl space so we're... Plus we want to insulate the walls too of the crawl space. Get it completely sealed off. And that's happening today so in order for that to happen I have to leave Arbor by two o'clock and I'm going to arrive there at about one o'clock. So I've got one hour to convince them to get that freight on the trailer and get tied down and go. But you know convincing can only go so far. It depends how busy they are there right? It's not that much freight so I'm assuming they should be able to just throw it on and get me out of there. But either way we'll make it work. I might just have to make a phone call say I'll be a little late but at least the weather's going to be good and there's no snow. The forecast said that there was going to be snow all week this weekend. Ha! Look at this. Knock on wood. Just in case. This weekend I spent cleaning and polishing the wheels on this truck right? I was going to spend some time in the interior here. I want to get this interior detailed and clean. I guess I'll have to do that next weekend. I ran out of time. I really want to come up with a better system of organization for this truck. I've got a lot of stuff over here. I got my lunch, my backpack, all of my cleaning materials, cleaning rags, microfiber towels, a bunch of bullsaw products. It's all in a separate bag. It's actually the bag I got from Transportation Nation Network. And all of that stuff sort of takes up this whole area over here and I want to have it a little bit more organized. I don't like chaos like this. It's my project for next weekend maybe or maybe you want to think. It was really easy. We got really lucky. I'll show you. It's just two skids, two straps. Super easy. I already got this old button back here but there you go. Look at that. That's all it was. We will make it in time for our appointment with the crawl space guy. That was awesome. I was expecting it to take a lot longer than this. I thought I'd bang, bang, bang, boom. Actually less than half an hour because I had to close up the trailer. It was replaced about six months ago. The other one got replaced last month or last week actually and she still sings a beautiful song. She's from a different era. She's from an era of when trucks were actually trucks. You know? They looked like trucks, sounded like trucks, acted like trucks, drove like trucks. Modern truck. You're just driving an oversized minivan. I really like the new trucks so I'm not talking bad on them. I'm not talking down. They're good trucks. My preference, I just have an old soul. I prefer the old trucks. Put diesel fuel in it and go. Stop worrying about all the other electric issues. Nah, it's just from a simpler time. Nice house right there. I like that. It needs a covered porch though. Definitely. We reached, what do we call this again? Is this, what do we decide to call this corner? Suicide corner. I don't know if it's suicide corner because no one comes here like wanting to hurt themselves. It was just built in a way that somebody's gonna get hurt. Far over there. I bet you I know where that's going. I bet you that's going into one of our trailers. I bet it'll be waiting there when we get there. We didn't even have to wait today. Nice. When pass there is gonna go, uh, is on its way to our yard. A lot of vehicles. You can always go onto our website and uh, there's an email address there that you can get to if you want to move your vehicle. Like if you uh, if you're headed down south for the winter or if you're going down there for vacation, you want your vehicle down there, but you don't want to drive it down there to Florida. Give us a call or give us an email. We can get your vehicle down there for you. That tow truck with that classic car is two vehicles up. It's right in front of this black SUV. Ha and there goes the signal. Ha Called it. He's headed to our yard. I'm gonna be bringing that. No one knows. Well someone knows, but it's a need to know basis. I wouldn't share where these vehicles are making their way to. All I can say is it's on to a better place. I mean, this is Manitoba. It doesn't take much to get better than this. I mean, unless you're going to Saskatchewan, you're probably going to a better place. I'm joking my Manitoba friends. I am joking. Is he going to turn into our yard? He's right there. He's behind that bobtail. Oh, maybe he's not. Maybe he's not. No, he's going straight. He's going to these guys. They uh, service classic vehicles. We ship them and they build them. There's a guy, one of our neighbors back there builds those things. I guess it's one of his big. Oh man. I was so sure that it was going to our yard. Oh man. That's usually how they arrive here and then we uh, we ship them down. So it's still going to a better place. It's going to a shop to get a facelift I bet. Chevy, what were you doing back there? What were you doing back there? You weren't, you weren't pooping back there, were you? I hope not. It's hard to get back there to get it. I can't just leave it there. It doesn't look like it's back there. I'm pretty tired today. Britt made some good turkey burgers. They're delicious. And the turkey. What's that drug in it again? Is that a drug? Is this something, something in turkey, right? It makes you tired. Look at me. I'm in a fall sleep standing up right out here in the backyard. At least it's finally warming up. This whole week is supposed to be very warm. So all of this snow will probably be gone. I'm thinking in another two weeks. There might be some remnants left in the shady spots. Like guys over here and stuff. Maybe for three weeks. But for the most part, I'll probably just have a lawn out here. Or pardon me, not lawn, mud. Because this yard needs to be relandscaped and leveled off a little better. Water likes to pool up right around here. I told you this is the other day, right? Last week. And it pools up over here. But it goes away quickly. Once the ground thaws it all, it goes away real quick. They have standing water on their backyard over there too. See? This is just how it is. The water has nowhere to go. It would go into the ground, but the ground is literally frozen solid. It can't go down. So it just sits on top until it gets a bit warm right out. Anyways, thanks for hanging out with me today. I'm going to go inside and go to bed early. We'll see you tomorrow.
