2006 at the Hammond Barn

[Bob Carriere]

Got to chip in my 5 cents worth.....


Grant and I never knew how many small pieces of brake line Rob wasted until he carried out a bucket full.... we were toooo busy working at the other end of the barn by the furnace.......

Got up to 60 F at our end of the barn....... until we noticed there was a hole burne dup in the bottom stovepipe elbow.....thank God for a strong draft in the chimney we never got any smoke inside the barn..... first thing on Tuesday I am off to buy new stove pipe.

How warm was it in the barn...?? well Grant slapped a mosqito now knowing that it was the barn's mascotte...... sure beats working in the snow.

After over two hours and three assembly-dissambly we got the tranny redone.... new bearing and seals and a speedy sleeve on the yoke..... no joke!!!! Now we need to re-assemble the shift tower using the better parts of two units.

All in all a fitting end to 2006.

All the Best for the New Year to all in the CMP land.
