2008 at the Hammond Barn

[RHClarke]

Not to be outdone by the liberals "Green Shift", the Hammond Trio saddled up for our shortest ever recovery road trip to shift our own green monster. This trip took us out to the west end of the Nepean portion of Ottawa - the last vestige of civilization before hitting Kanata.

I decided that my life was not complicated enough, so I bought a '55 Dodge Ambulance from a fellow S&P volunteer. The truck is mostly complete with some missing bits and a need for an engine rebuild. Between Jesse's radio van and this ambulance, we should be able to come up with one working 3/4 ton truck. I kinda like the Dodge as it was the first military vehicle I ever drove (back in the day when my arms were just as thin as the steering wheel spokes).

Many thanks to Bob Carriere for volunteering his diesel pickup and trailer, and Grant for his attention to detail and safety. We moved the truck back to Hammond in short order with only one OPP officer giving us quizical looks...I hope to start tearing it down in the next few weeks after my next trip overseas.

Here is a shot of my new "baby":
