Great recovery and road trip. Some of us would have paid just to be along for the fun and Hammond Barn stop...

Jes' Comment reminded me all the great road trips and across the border raids I used to go on with my mate Bob Mosley, who would be well known to MLU members. Bob would hear about a military vehicle standing in a paddock or some way off farm. I would receive a phone call and we would be off on the hunt. I often stop and think of those great trips and ponder why he was taken so young. RIP Bob. ![]() Cheers Tony ![]()

As I would climb into the sleeping bag each night, I would toss the socks out the back window because they stunk so bad. After the day of loading the guns, the running shoes went out the back window as well. Nothing like a clean fresh pair of socks in the morning to start your day right. I did have one old timer near Kenogmi tell me about the 15cwt he has stashed away on his farm. He was looking to sell it. It was his dad's, and was in the same family since it was surplussed from the DND. Sounded very complete. I put him on to this site....not sure if he will follow through. At that point I was only interested in getting home, and was not looking to poach a CMP from Northern Ontario. |

There's something to be said about solo runs. Get up, get down, drive, eat what have you at your own pace. Hold the eyes open with toothpicks as required. No pee breaks for passengers or complaint about the nefarious odors in the truck cab.
That's the way I usually fly on work assignments (and picks too!). ![]()

Been there, done that. Night driving is usually best avoided and that's my time to take a break nowadays... And then there is the Black Dog. Ever heard of it? There's a movie by the same name.

Black dog refers to a point when you are so tired that you swear you saw a black dog run across the road in front of you that really didn't exist. It is a common phenomenom in persons who are overtired to the point of delusion.
The mind begins to play tricks on you and you begin to see shadows and illusions that are not real. It is a dangerous condition.
