Default But shouldn't be snowing?

Hi Guys

Sounds like and interesting recovery effort but to be a true tail of the Canadian North it should have snowing.

Each of my truck recovery efforts involved it having snowed, was snowing, or started snowing on the way home.

Advantage to snowy recovery is you would have never notice the wheels on the trailer were not tracking right they would have just skidded along behind the tow vehicle.

One other thing looks like another good find.

Cheers Phil

Like the Hammond Barn Boys, people sometimes drop stuff on our doorstep. I ventured up to the Chicken Ranch on Sunday and found someone had left a truck and trailer. I was pleased with the CMP so offloaded it and parked it safely in the barn. I haven't much interest in a broken trailer so I left it outside.
Cheers,
Barry

What are the odds of two trailers with a CMP on each showing up at the Chicken Ranch??

Default Mystery at the Chicken Ranch

Barry, I will check the tapes from the security camera today - perhaps there is an explanation for all this. Regardless, congratulations on 'your' new 12 cab C15A.

I can't help but wonder though, did a Border Raid go bad or is one still underway? Anyway, it looks like there is lots of extra help coming this Saturday for cleanup day.

Brian

Brian, If by clean up you mean getting rid of old CMP bodies, count me in. See you Saturday.

Stuart, add another $50.00 to the cheque and I will repair the trailer and throw it in so you can take the truck home.

Barry, It is a pleasure doing business with you. Consider the "check to be in the mail"........... In fact I may make it to your place on Friday evening, just to beat the traffic.......... if you know what I mean.... I may have to "borrow" the plates on the trailer, just so things go smoothly on the way back to Ottawa. It may be best if I take the back roads home.....

Cheers!
Stuart
