Default Hello Dirk...

Yes, we are kinda done at the course for the season. Perfect golf weather, I have never pumped that much water, drought and hot. We are still broke.

Still have all the wiring to do on the FAT and then we are rolling the 17 PDR. into the shop. All gummed up, our first job there is freeing up the elevation/traverse gears etc...

The only restoration that might interest me is a Ford Lynx or the F-60B in Auburn...Bofors SP... It looks like it might be pretty incomplete though.

Maybe I'll start chasing the ladies again, it might be cheaper.

Cheers Rob

Default Some FAT insights...

picked up at the Prairie Command /Shilo Museum...tour this weekend. See pics of artillery board clamp down brackets above mate seat. Also Fat back 4 seat riser brackets mounted on wood blocks. And see the Limber that I am looking for in Canada. Tough. Cheers Rob
