Thank you for the compliment on the flag Wayne, but I have to give credit to Bob and the team at the Hammond barn for putting it on. I personally would not have bothered. There are different standards in each province, and in Manitoba, until it extends about 8 feet back, we don't bother. But the installation was appreciated.
Did some rough calculations on the trip, and it would appear the truck averaged around 16 miles per gallon. I am happy with that.
Of note to the Ontario guys: if you look in the background of some of my photos, you will see what the surface of the earth is supposed to be like: flat. I can tell you that I breathed a sigh of relief when I entered Manitoba, and immediately appreciated the absence of the rock faces at the sides of the roads. Here in Manitoba, skidding off the road into the ditch is not a death sentence, but rather a mere annoyance.
