Hell no.....
..... we are not spraying with fertilizer....... we use Round Up to keep them from multiplying.......
All joking aside Ottawa as been so wet and damp this season....... we have some grass growing in damp soil and getting the reflection of the sun from the winter shelter......... the result is grass growing taller than Grant (72 + inches)as of last weekend.......... we are considering cutting it for firewood in late August.....

Wet and Wild - Perfect Breeding Conditions
Hi Greg,
The great HUP rescue mission isn't over yet. There is at least one more on my list. My long-suffering, yet well-adorned (with jewery...) wife wonders when it will all stop. I intend to restore one HUP for each year of production and then quit collecting...FLWs. The whole family will be out your way on Canada Day to join in the Calnan Canada Day Convoy. We are planning a lunch at Merrickville lockside. Hope you, Jen and the kids can join us!

Door Delights - It's A HUP...
This Sunday I fitted my driver side door to the HUP. There were some clearance issues, so I took the hinge assembly apart. We found that the hinge end that fit into the door was bent. A few minutes of magic with the 30 ton press sorted that out. I reattached the hinge set and attempted to bolt the hinges to the frame. Once done, we found that the door would not close properly. This was odd as we used the same style hinges as the pax side. Although the door was reskinned it did not look overly warped.
The pax side door opened and closed with ease. It had about a 1/4 inch gap between the door and the frame. The driver side door had no gap at the hinge end and really had to be forced to make the latch catch. The low profile hinge bolts scraped the inside door frame - on the other door, the bolts fit nicely with some clearance. Bob suggested that we weld a 1/4 inch bar on the flange to get the clearance. Prior to doing that, I put the following questions out to the collective wisdom of this forum: What could cause the door to fit so oddly? What should be done to fix this?

Correction.....
....Bob wants to use 1/4 inch key stock "held inplace with tape" to have the same spacing as the pass. side....so as to test the fit.....no welding....too damaging/permanent.
I would suggest we fit the door without hinges....using wooden shims as spacers all around..... no hinges at this time..... Weld/rebuild the door wedge see how everything aligns with the same spacing as the pass. side..... then see how the hinges have to fit..... Might want to measure the door opening on the pass side in various corss directions..... and compare to the driver's side...... like wise measure the door.... not being sure how or what was done during the reskinning... There are so many variables....... Boob
