Default Must be something about snow and CMPs

Hi

Glad to see you are keeping up the tradition of picking up CMPs in the dead of winter, your right about the mosquitoes down along with the snakes, wasps, etc.

All three of my CMPs came home with snow on the ground, makes loading so much more fun.

Cheers Phil

Nice finds. Bob, your second picture looks like the red truck is "taking advantage" of the yellow one.

Default breading and breeding

As any good stockman knows you have to feed them before you breed them.

Bob, If only we could breed them...I wonder what the offspring of a HUP and a C60 would be?

Default Dementia = CMP.....

Yes a swap meet on Saturday before we get to drunk...er I mean too involved... there has always been some selling/trading going on and I encourage it....
no permission required...... no fees ... just fun....

Saturday is probably the best day for it....

I will have some original Delco spark plugs for sale in a variety of heat range... I have been breeding them..... no crummy breading...!!!! DUH!!!

...and if you think that breeding a Hup with a C60 is odd you should see the size of the condoms we use to keep them from getting out of hand....

BBQ is the same old game.....Burgers on Friday for the early arrival.... big day on Saturday..... wrap up and sobbering black coffe on Sunday morning.

I am hoping to have the back field modified into an obstacle course including mud hole.....

Any other suggestions welcomed.....

Bob

(C8A+C60L)/2=C30 (more or less, perhaps an extended or crew cab). Let me know when the offspring become available. According to the parts books the C30 and C60S use the same frame and I haven't seen many available locally.

Default Summer Meet and Swap

As I have a lot of spare time on my hands, I would like to throw this up for consideration. As you all know the annual BBQ will be held at the Hammond Barn on the weekend of the 25 Jun. Well I am wondering "what if we have a swap meet on Sunday morning?? or on Saturday. There are no Swap and Meets in the Ottawa area and I find going to Oshawa or Acton a long haul.
Bob has the space, we will be there so why not bring stuff to sell or trade.? This is just an idea and Bob will have to agree to this. I would be willing to help coordinate the effort. If you are interested, let me know.
Yes Bob I know I should have asked you first!!! but like I said I have too much time on my hands.
Gilles

Great idea! I don't see any complications as we have had in the past informal sales (MLU stuff/ServicePub books/tailgate shops). I would suggest that we go with the Saturday tho'.

I will provide some assistance in setting up and tearing down the swap meet.
