Here are the two old guys trying to decide whether they can lift the spare on or not. In the end the Allis Chalmers loader did the trick.

Thanks Darrell, for posting that photo of Brian and his TA. I should have had a photo but I couldn't find any. I imagine you already know he is going tomorrow to look at another HUP. I can't go with him as I have to go to Bancroft to store my ex wife's husbands boat in my barn up there. Brian and I will be in the same vicinity but there is no cell service there in order to meet up.
Cheers,
Barry

Today we had the first outing for the TA. Janet and I took the day off to attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies in the small village of Castleton. There was quite a turnout for the size of the village and even the public school brought all the children. As usual CFB Trenton sent a small contingent of soldiers from the base. A minister from a church in Cobourg who is a veteran of the British Army, in the 60's, gave a real nice speech. There wasn't a peep out of any of those school kids. Amazing. After the service some pre teen boys came and asked about the truck and wanted their pictures taken with it. I couldn't believe how polite they were. Janet stepped right up and gave the adults a history of the truck, where it was made, where it went, where we got it and who restored it. I couldn't believe it and I sure was proud of her. Now it goes back to the barn for the looong winter.
Cheers,
Barry

Barry,

Congrats on your first "official" outing, and what an occasion!!! You surely should be proud of Janet too, mainly for putting up with you all these years....

What I need from you is a selection of good, hi-res digital photos of your wee beastie before you put it to bed for the winter. The select one will go in Cliff's calendar for 2009. Can you do this for me? Call me if there's a problem, you know the number (for some reason I don't have yours).

Thanks,

Jif
