And just like that, the fall is upon us. You visited at a good time of year.

By now most of the HMV owner/operators/builders in Canada have stopped working outdoors on their collections and are making ready for the winter. The only exceptions are a few of us have obligations to our local Royal Canadian Legion branches or communities to parade on or before 11 Nov.

My 1970 M38A1 came back from its troubleshooting and fault fixing a week or so after you two left, and immediately almost everything inside the shelter came out to make room for the '70 and the '74. Except for the 17' canoe in the backyard, you wouldn't know much else was happening. It was a bit of fun reversing one Jeep tandeming the second one lashed to a loose tire with 5-ton cargo straps. Four wheel drive low range and reverse on idle! That is torque.

The leaves are well along in their burst of reds, oranges, yellows and browns.
Although the grass is still green, that will end as soon as we have a few hard frosts. Snow is forecast for the weekend, but that is just the first of the season to scare us into finishing any remaining winterization projects.
