What a day... Started with a broker having double booked a load. Quickly changed to a new load picking up north at a mine... It was snowing and slick.
New Canadians with no sense of driving trucks we're travelling at 35km/h and getting stuck on the hills. Then I'm all loaded and heading back. The sun came out and the temp soared above zero melting everything.
THEN! I get into NY heading to Ohio and I'm facing 60km/h (40mph) crosswinds with gusts above that! I'm parked between other trucks now and I'm still rocking from these winds. Mind you, I'm weighing out close to 80k lbs here so that should give you a sense of the wind
I didn't realize how stacked this Venezuelan team was till they started beating Japan. shame I'm gonna miss Dominican Republuc vs USA tomorrow. Kinda rooting for a DR vs Ven final.
Canada is creeping towards crisis. The Libs somehow got the separatist Bloc to sign off in support of their censorship bill C9. Now they got a useful idiot from the socialist NDP to cross the floor and they only need two (2) more seats for total authoritarian control. They have three byelections coming up April 13th with two of those being in Liberal "safe" ridings who do nothing but consume state sponsored propaganda and regurgitate it at State funded universities.
Why am I still here?
1) my boomer mother, whom I am responsible for.
2) not gonna lie, I kinda look forward to the challenge of evading the system. There's a fuckin' reason there are so many great bitcoiners in Canada (from education to access to cold storage) and GrapheneOS comes from here. But, ๐คซ, we don't want the feds to figure that out.
Streaming the Media committee where Travis Dhanraj (fired from CBC for challenging their bullshit) is testifying. I didn't give a shit about the media in Canada. Fuck them all... But my money is being stolen and/or printed to fund their garage grift and propagandas machine. I say don't just defund the CBC... Defund ALL media in Canada.
What's really disheartening is to hear from other people testifying who want MORE daddy govt to interfere with the market and flow of information. Canada is so toast.
Playing with #notedeck, finally, while being on hold to get my net service bill credit. Fuck, Bell customer service sucks. But Noted Eckhart is pretty cool on my tablet.
Tens of thousands of geese taking flight from their migratory stop. Just outside Allentown Pennsylvania. Too bad I couldn't catch the thousands in the air. Vehicles were stopping on the highway to witness this.
December contracts are over $4/gallon for Low Sulfur Diesel. That's over a 35% rise from March Contracts in just a week. Diesel prices at the pump have jumped over 25%. This affects all transport costs for bringing products to your door/store so expect inflation numbers to rise dramatically. Trump and Bessent are trying to tamper down the markets with SOR release threats but it's not working when 20% of oil supply just got shut off. You know what would help us all in North America? Fucking Canada having a pipeline that wasn't at capacity... But no they fucking got all these boomers who are TDS Orange Man Bad Elbows Up globalist elitist banker Carney voters to kill their country.

I see the McDs Big Arch is trending on X. The McDs CEO is getting roasted. People are piling on with mock videos. A&W did a roast. ReviewBrah did one (king of memes that guy!)... Thing is, we had that burger in Canada last year. It's... Not bad. It's a full day's worth a calories and a year's worth of processed seed oils, but it tastes ok.
I'll stick to making my own smash burgers at home, however. Cheaper, tastier, fresher, cleaner, and I don't have to drive to McDs. Smashburgers always win!
