Saturday and Sunday were hot days at the barn. The mercury hit plus 30oC on both days, so activities were limited to small party tasks. On Saturday Bob worked on the tractor's power steering, Grant worked on his truck, which is now parked in the front of the barn undergoing its transformation. I decided that Club HUP needed a new roof.

Prior to getting on with the work, we got a visit from Guy Vapeur who was in a very good mood - in fact he had a spring in his step. Guy happened upon a supply of medium tension springs that we may put to use as replacement springs for CMP seats. As well, Guy discussed a Chorehorse discovery he had made. Bob filled in all of the details relating to the mighty Chorehorse. After some small chit-chat, Guy headed back up the road.

The three of us decided it was time to go to lunch. I still get a kick out of the looks on the face of the diners at the Rockland Bistro when the three of us saunter into the restaurant covered in CMP dirt. We tip well, so we are tolerated by the staff.

Back at the barn Grant worked on his drive shafts, while Bob carried on knocking together boxes. I recently got a HLVW (that's how the Canadian Army spells "big truck") tarp from Greg Wright (The Wright Stuff Surplus) that now resides atop of my Quebec garage (AKA Club HUP). That wrapped up the day.
