Default Update to the Update

Gents,

I just got a call from the canvas maker and she is done with the first C15a tarp and wants me to come to try it on.

I can get down there on Friday morning and should have some pix to post later tah day. If anybody is near B'Ville on Saturday we are putting a new clutch in a WW2 jeep - so come on over to have a peek and offer some advice. I think that my wife is putting chicken breasts in the slow cooker for lunch too!

Now would be a good time to decide if you want a tarp for your C15a as I will probably be able to report on a price by the time the pix get uploaded. I will take orders/prepayments soon.

More later.


Stewart

I like Chicken for lunch. Sounds good. Oh wait I will already be at your place. Did you get much snow up your way today. Hamilton is getting lots and I can't wait for the drive home. Buuurrrrrrrrr

As for the tarp I will give an honest opinion that is non biased or slanted in one way or the other. However if the chicken is good then Im sure the tarp will be fantastic.

Default Tarp in B'Ville

CMPers,

I ventured out to Tillsonburg and grabbed the C15a tarp and plopped it onto my truck. It is availible for viewing Friday-Sunday.

I took a snap or 2 of the sample on my truck and the new tarp on my truck.

She is still working a price for the tarp, price for windows, price for 1/2" hemp rope, and what it is worth for us to do our own waterproofing. Stay tuned.


Stewart

PS - for Boobee - the canvasmith has a used sewing machine ( Jukki brand ) for sale for about $800 if you need/want one. Good shape, comes ith some bobbins and extra needles.

Took a look at the tarp tonight and it is very nice. The quality of sewing is top notch. I will be saving my pennies for one.

Tony,

I hope that you are not of Syrian decent, and what I am about to say is in no way a slight to the noble people of that fine land.

The chicken was slow roasted in the cooker for an entire day, and filled the house with chicken goodness smells, so I was anticipating a delightful meal, then a super lunch the next day when Jordan Baker came over to get a new clutch disc put in his WW2 jeep.

The chicken spent the day swimming in a vat of Presidents Choice brand Memories of Damascus Tangy Pomegranate Sauce. I wish that I would have read the label first, as manly man food seldom goes with "A tangy, fruity barbecue sauce and glaze for lamb, chicken, ribs, ham and shrimp."

While the meat was very tender it was a bit ( and I hope I don't offend any of the forum with delicate sensibilities ) tangy and fruity. I cannot recommend this concoction.

More later.


Stewart
