Default Dirk..I would never think ...

of taking that scrounger title away from Gord Falk who has been at the restortion hobby for 30 years+++++! A dozen carriers, numerous CMPS, Ferrets, a man totaly commited to his pasion, never taking a provincal highway home, checking for what he might see in the back 40 acrres. Not very vocal here, but worth his weight in gold.

Default More rain for Manitoba....

Now if it can keep on raining in Manitoba maybe...just maybe...Manitoba will shrink......along with Sask. and Alberta and us poor fellas from Ontario can finally drive out West and do some scrounging as well...... there is so much stuff there and so few people......

Make it shrink.... make it shrink....

Default Rain in Manitoba

Bob,
It has been raining here for 3 years only pausing for the winter months when it freezes but the snow comes and accumulates and melts in the spring giving us spring floods and more water to deal with.If this keeps up,nobody will benefit from our pristine bush CMP's because all of Manitoba will be one big lake and you won't see anything but waves,unless there may be one on a high spot in Manitoba.Oh wait,if it was that visible Gord Falk would have spotted it already! Oh when will the sunshine come to dry us out so I can finally take off my rubber boots!
Derk.

Default C8 ready for final paint job...

Thanks to David DeWeese for a couple of his well made wheel adapters . I copied them for my rear end. Still missing a couple of rims, I am still looking hard. Cheers for now, Rob

Default A little off topic here...

I flew up to Churchill Manitoba for a day trip with my first cousin Captain, who is flying tourists into Churchill for the polar bear season. I sat in the jump seat up front and watched a couple of professional 25000 hr pilots bring in a prop job in low pressure 29.55, winds 35 gusting to 50 kts, rain, visibility 2 miles,base clouds 900 ft... Very cool. Went for a quick dirve to see the Black Brant rocket site, the remains of the Dew Line site, saw 2 polar bears being airlifted out of bear jail, and bumped into two more just a couple miles out of town. These bears are the size of small elephants! People carry high powered rifles here. Bad pics, Cheers Rob
