You will have some restoration work on those. Some of the interior wood was pretty far gone, and the insulation almost looked like wool. I was surprised how heavy they were.

Glad someone is going to take the time to preserve a couple. The remainder have languished in the field for at least 40 years or more.

Funny thing about Jim is that when I was there he asked me if I wanted one of his company ball caps. What a crazy question....I am from the prairies. Those (and toques) are the only hats we know.

Then he asked me if I wanted one in camouflage........

Two new hats in the stable, the next thing he was offering me was a company jacket. I had to get out of there before he issued me a tow truck.

Lots of hospitality out that way. My only regret was that I did not have more time to spend with everyone. The short hours of daylight just wouldn't allow it.

After reading what Jim has done to you Rob, I feel a little bit cheap... However, I do not have ball cap, sox or underwear has the others are stating but I'm a wine and spirit importer on the side... I should have brought you a bottle of wine, but not sure if you drink wine when wearing your ball cap?!
