2013 at the Hammond Barn

[RHClarke]

No less than two border raids were conducted by the Hammond Barn crew in the past few weeks. Recently, Grant and Bob headed into the Kingston CMP Region and found two candidates suitable for barn use. Bob or Grant can provide details.

This Saturday morning past, I left the confines of the Ottawa CMP Zone (-21 oC) and headed south west. I successfully entered the tropical (+3 oC) Southern Ontario CMP Region undetected and unmolested to pick up 216 engine that eventually will go into my HU Ambulance (yes, another project!). After loading the engine into my van, I headed east but was intercepted by Brian and Mel of the Oshawa mob. After an intense interrogation that involved torture with hot liquids (Tim's coffee), I eluded these two ruffians and headed back to the frozen north east.

The trip home was a little longer than the trip south - the van was riding a bit lower than normal, but there was no issues with traction! Photos later after the off-load at the barn.
