2008 at the Hammond Barn

[RHClarke]

The boys have been busy - away from the barn. This past weekend was very quiet, except for the sound of the snow and ice slipping off of the roof of the barn. It was plus 8oC and partially sunny on Sunday. Most of the snow had turned to slush which made clearing the doors fairly easy.

I guess Bob and Grant were kept busy with the domestic chores and the duty visits. Hopefully they will chime in before we retire this thread in the New Year. In their absence, I played around with the hip ring for my HUP. I got Greg Wright to stitch up new pad covers. Greg has the pattern for the hip ring pad covers and can be reached on this Forum.

After cleaning up the rust from the hip ring, I mounted the pads.
