2010 at the Hammond Barn

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Rob.......

Glad you re-surface from deep diving in Keith's beer.....

Been busy doing lumberjack things for next Winter.....

Did some custom trailer hitch job for Marcel's son......

....found another CMP but we are saving this one for Guy..... from the far reaches of the upper Gatineau....

...and we had high wind/thundrstorm every day around 4 pm this week..... winter garages have been seen flying..... trampoline in a corn field in Vars.... but our shelters seem to be protected by the high trees around the barn.....

....until one big limb broke off a butternut and crashed on Ted's Winter shelter..... oddly enough the mass of leafage spread the weigth on the tent frame/tarp with no damaged observed so far. Had a dry 60 minute window between storms..... supported the limb with the tractor bucket.....climbed in the bucket using an extension ladder and used the chain saw to dismantle the limb branch by branch........ upper part of the limb is still attached but the shelter is save for now, soon as I got finished it poured like hell.

Also fitted wheels to the container...looks cool..... but one of the expensive wheel/tires I got from Guy is flat..... will ask for my money back.... had to drive my truck out to jack up.... one of the boat gas line clip broke...?? got a replacement made in Taiwan..... is that Northern part of Quebec???

Things are supposed to dry up and cool down for the weekend..low twentys.... we hope.

When are you due back....??
