Prototype Progress
The 45 HUP is pretty much wrapped up for the winter. That gives me some time to work on the Prototype HUP. An interesting accessory came with the Prototype. Any guesses as to what it is? Members of the Chicken Ranch and the Hammond Rotters already know what this is, so they are disqualified from this “game”. By the way, ignore the “crabfat” blue paint on the item.
More photos later...

Sea Container - CMP Storage. Yes or No?
Has anyone had success storing their vehicles in sea containers? I know that Gunner has a great set up at the S&P Museum with a can that has four roll up doors on it. Gilles in Cantley used one to store an Iltis, but has anyone used a plain-jane sea can for CMP storage? Will it satisfy the insurance company's security requirement (insured vehicle must be in a locked facility, etc...).
I did a check on the internet for used sea cans in central Canada and it seems that they are available. 40 foot long high ceiling cans are going for about 2K, not including transport (from Montreal or Toronto). Not sure if this is reasonable cost or not. Any thoughts/experiences?

You can usually get a container delivered for next to nothing since they'll fill it with paying freight that they deliver before getting to you.

Bob, Rob
How is access to my shelter? I was thinking of bringing my son's new (to him) Iltis on Saturday and trying to get it in there with the sports car. Failing that I will find a quiet corner of the Hammond Vehicle Repair Depot (VRD) and wrap it up with a decent tarp. Clive

Saturday is Boxing Day, are you bringing a big box (one of Rob's requested shipping containers) for the new addition to the fleet? 20 footers would be easier to get into the barn area, if you could do a 40 footer (Bob and I think there's a conflict between turn radius and trees that he wants to preserve, Rob is more optimistic) it might fit all 3 of the TR, trailer and Iltis.

Merry Christmas from the Rotters!
AD Wng Red. The fat man is on his way. All the best to those who peer in or comment on the goings on at the barn.

BTW, and apropos of nothing whatsoever, as much as I hate this city, Toronto has ZERO snow on the ground as of yet. That must means something, Shirley...  Have a great Christmas Day, all of you Rotters!

Exercise for All
Quote:
Other than a few days cutting wood, not much got done at the barn other than chewing the fat. Speaking of which, the Hammond Rotters have put on more than a little weight in 2009. We are looking a little pudgy, so we will have to get more exercise recovering CMPs in 2010. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and don't call me Shirley...

Hammond barn still there.....
....and so are all the little canvass barnees....... although thoroughly covered with ice......
Clive if the Iltis can be driven it should not be a problem....... some of the snow in front of your shelter could be cleared up with the tractor and the Iltis driven in....... if you need to push it in manually it will need some strong arm shovelling as the snow is ice crusted and soaked with water........ the alternative is to tow it to the near back field and cocoon in canvas until next Spring....... probably less physically demanding. NOTE........ I will not be available to tractor things until Monday....... rain cancelled family gathering for today until tomorrow...... In any event parking another vehicle is not a problem....... Geoff..... Yes we Rotters all hate Toronto when they still have green grass and we are stuck with freezing rain....... ....and who the He** is Shirley.......... All the Best for the coming New Year....... I understand next year, according to the CHinese calender, is the year of the CMP...... Boob

Wild Weather at the Barn
What a hellish day - weather wise... Yesterday we had a bit of rain and last night we were stricken with freezing rain, which put a nice icy cap on the soggy snow. While not as severe as our infamous icestorm ( see: http://canadaonline.about.com/cs/weather/p/icestorm.htm), there was cause for concern. I spent the morning checking the integrity of the roof of my house and clearing away some of the ice that was forming dams on the eaves. In 1998, my home (like thousands of others) suffered damage to the roof and we were "awash" with water infiltrating from ice daming.
This morning the sidestreets were glare ice, and the ensuing demolition derby got underway. It warmed up to 0oC near the noon hour and the ice that was coating the trees started dropping little ice bombs. After making sure the drive and walk ways were well salted, I headed out to the barn. The main roads were well cleared and salted. Upon turning into Bob's laneway, the world changed. Bob's trees had suffered from the effects of the ice build up. There were branches littering the road all the way to the barn. Bob and Joyce were out earlier clearing large branches from the road to the barn and putting out feed for the local fauna. Glazed donut:  There was about an inch of ice built up on the shelters, but it came off with one hit with the snow rake, or a shake of the frame cleared both sides of the shelters. The barn was in the process of shedding the tons of snow on its roof. Some of the falling snow and ice came down with a thud that made sure you paid attention to where you walked. Bob cranked up the tractor to clear tons of slush from the laneway. The snow blower did double duty as a wood chipper as the smaller branches got munched up with the snow. After the laneway was cleared, we made a "road" to Clive's shelter. It is now ready to receive a small green vehicle. We did a small tour of the property to see if there was any damage, but luckily only the trees counted as casualties. Mind you, some of the ice falling from the 50 foot trees gave us cause for concern... The tour of the vehicle park revealed a nice blue tarp hanging on some trees. Kris' attempt to tarp his newly acquired HUP did not stand up to the high winds we had last week. I took only a few minutes to retarp the truck, and it was back to the barn. A HUP rewrapped for "Kris-mas":  As the afternoon wore on, we chatted about the New Year. It looks like more of the same for 2010. Time will tell.
