2010 at the Hammond Barn

[Bob Carriere]

Funny thing is the hill looks and feels a lot steeper from the driver's seat.

Will probably do it again for some still pictures...... that way I casn get close up or blow ups of pictures showing better where the gas is leaking form.....

Also thinking of fabricating some kind of pendalum device that will show the angle of attack and have it mounted near the carb so it will be in the picture and maybe we can capture the angle at which it starts leaking.

Major accomplishment today was moving a 20 foot sea container using the 3 point hitch on the 255 Massey.... very near it's limit for lifting...front bucket loaded with wet gravel helped balance the load. I fabricated a removable axle from 4 inch square tubing which wqe insertyed in the massive forklift pockets located at about 33 and 66 % of the container.

We lifted the sucker and positioned it on pressure treated bunks..... high enough off the ground that ramps will be needed BUT it will also allow up to open the door when we have that terrible white stuff on the ground. Thanks to Grant's help (muscle and brains) and advice on how to set it up and back up blinded by the container. Now the C15a is safely stored inside with enough space at the front that I will build some racks/shelving..... and locked with two padlocks.

Once in place the axle was removed and stored inside for whenever we get a second one.....spaced 20 feet apart with some sheet metal roofing we would gain covered parking for two more CMPs..... the removeable axle is a bit of a cobbled together piece of kit but worth it weight in gold if I was to call in a tow truck to move the container on a Sunday afternoon.

Thank God I can go to work at the office tomorrow and get some rest....and people do not understand why I am still working instead of retiring... it to rest from the darn fun weekend...
