the Easter Bunny aka the new Mr. HUP
"Look What the Easter Bunny Delivered" - apparently he shops at the Chicken Ranch. The Hammond Barn Group came for a visit yesterday and look what happened. I turned my back and suddenly two HUPs were up on the trailers, chained down and pointed east. How is that for a border raid?
Barry, you really should have been there to help me. I was one busy guy as they did the 'divide and conquer' routine on both sides of the Chicken Ranch. Now we know why they are called the "Hammond Barn Group". While Rob Clarke was out front doing the fender fondle on the prototype HUP, Grant Bowker and Bob Carriere were out back working me over for your stuff. Stay tuned .... I think they are coming back. Bob has a very high speed winch on his recovery trailer and there is no second guessing once that cable is hooked up. So congratulations Rob Clarke.  Treat the prototype well. http://www.oldcmp.net/prototype.html The title of Mr. HUP is yours, although not officially so until pronounced by Alex Blair.Brian Gough Hupmeister wannabe

Passing the torch...
Quote:
As the original Mr Manual,I understand the Original Hupmeisters ,The Rt Hon.Brian Gough's feelings,when he passed the torch .... As one ages ,it occurred to me,as it has finally occured to Brian,we don't own our possessions,they own us..and we are only the keepers of history for a short while... I know that my original manual collection is in good hands with Grant Bowker ,another of the Hammond Barn tribe and that my manuals legacy will live on... So with out further ado...I now pronounce you "Mr Hup".... (I could add,"The new and improved"..but you are going to have to work a hell of a lot harder than you have been doing to "Out anything Brian Gough Related",to get "The new and improved" part of the title from me.. Brian is a pretty class act to inherit the title from ,and you had better be prepared to do some fancy footwork to get the rest of the "Mr HUP" title.. Rob.. Here is some food for thought.. Acronym Definition HUP Hangup (Unix command) HUP Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania HUP Hungarian Unix Portal HUP Home Use Program HUP Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle HUP Hot Uniaxial Pressing HUP Heavy Utility Personnel (military vehicle) HUP Hold Until Published

Suspicious activity at the Barn
It would appear that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to the Hammond Barn. Sources considered reliable have indicated that the Hammond Crew may have conducted a raid over the Holy Easter Weekend... Reconaissance patrols dispatched to the area were able to infiltrate the fortified barn area and obtain damning evidence. The first photo depicts a camouflaged vehicle that was not known to exist at the barn prior to last saturday. Our people were able to get a closer shot of the vehicle however because of human activity around the barn the patrol had to be recalled. While leaving the area, the patrol located a well hidden and camouflaged trailer beleived to have been used in any suspected raid.

Next time, don't be so shy! You may approach the center of HUP excellence at any time. I would be pleased to give you the royal tour. The green "cocoon" is to discourage local cats from marking their territory and to keep beer caps out of the back of the vehicle... If you are around next weekend, you can lend a hand putting up a new shelter. And trust me, I won't even mention that lovely but lonely orange Ford sitting around the corner in the wagon lines...

If I was in Canada I would be seeking #1 HUP. A great vehicle. I think BOB is the perfect man to take custody. He's not the owner... He's just the custodian. It is Honorable You have passed it on.  Ian

HUP Prize
Quote:
Brian and I came to a mutually beneficial agreement and I thank him for giving me the opportunity to partake of this unique piece of Canadian history. Now that I have cut my teeth on the 45 HUP, I think I can do the prototype proud (at a later date of course). This means that I will be thinning out my (non HUP) herd (with local interests being taken care of first and foremost). More details later on. If the stars line up, the restoration process on the prototype will commence this summer - starting around the 15th of August...I think there may be some extra manpower hanging around the barn that weekend. Cheers,
