Default Wet Weekend

Not much to report. Bob and Grant roasted a cab 13 door, and I dug canals to help drain Bob's roadway which is now mostly mud. We will have more substantial news to report this coming weekend - ROAD TRIP!

Default Look What the Easter Bunny Delivered!

Long weekends are made for road trips. So, three of the Hammond Quartet headed to the deep south of Ontario to cull the herd of a local collector group. Any guesses as to what we got? Here's a clue:

Good Morning to the Hammond Barn
Rob, I am sorry I couldn't make the trek to visit with you guys yesterday. The old Allis Chalmers has severe, as in expensive, hydraulic problems and I was pulling out what little hair I have. I must admit I am very impressed with your clue as to the identity of one of your purchases on the "border raid". plus equals . My lips are sealed but don't keep the rest in suspense too long. Congratulations.
Barry

I put in "smilies" because I know Rob hates them.

Barry, Sorry to hear that Allis is sick. We were kept quite busy all day by the "salesman". I'll bet you that you will be receving some interesting email traffic soon.

As for the "easter bunny" treasure, here is the next clue:

Default I know what it is.... I know what it is......

..... the darn thing followed me all the way home.......


Note to Rob...... the baby was fed and burped this morning as per your instructions......

All ready had the visit of "The Steam Guy" ........ he had to sniff the bumpers...

See you tomorrow morning for the official off loading.......

Road to the barn has dired up considerable.....and was frozen early this morning so we may be able to drive to the back.

Grant...... Joyce has not seen how you marked your territory yet !!!!

Here is a clearer shot, but it really does not give the "game" away. Note the subtle differences between the towed truck and a "normal" CMP...sigh, you got me doing it now, Bob.

Hints - Look at the headlamp pot configuration and where the front clip is attached. Also, there is only one of these models known to exist and it now lives in Hammond!

Bob, Make sure Guy sits inside it - he too will succumb to the allure of the CMP...eventually. I'll be out early tomorrow to see my baby and to see if I can get the 45 rolling. Thanks to you and Grant for the long haul home. BZ

Hi Guys

Don't you hate it when one of these peskie CMPs pulls up on your bumper on the highway and just won't pull out and pass.

Look like great finds and if you have been reading or viewing BBC looks like two more CMPs escape this BBC story http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7995928.stm

Cheers Phil

At this rate we may have to petition to have Hammond renamed as HUP City.
