Default Any Updates on parts or work, Rob?

Was down at the local dog park this morning so the little guy could have a squirt and spotted a pair of racoons heading across the river. Made me think of your Penguin Project, Rob, and I got curious about any new developments.

It is -30 outside right now, so no new developments. It will sit for a year or three while I gather information and leads.

As an aside, I have bought a bunch of sheds from the base here, including a 40X100 foot shed with 21 foot ceiling. I only work on days that are warmer than -15, and that has not been a while lot of days, let me assure you. Once re-assembled here either this summer or next, it should provide indoor storage for all my toys.

Turn it on its side and you wouuld have a 100x100 shed with 40' ceiling - much better use of space.

Now edited to read 21 foot ceilings. Still high enough to make you respect the scaffolding while un-doing roof panels.

In one of the old Convoy magazines, there was a couple pages on the Penguin, including photos etc of one sitting in a field up for auction (several years ago)...maybe that was the one you now have Rob?

Mine came from Sean from Alberta (snowtractor in this site) who got it from BC. I don't know anything about the one in the convoy magazines.
