Default Don't be deceived

There have been many back up and do overs just to get to this stage, and there are quite a few more to go yet.

It's good to let the young one have a little fun and do the first drive out of the shed. Keeps him coming back to help.

Alex, I still have to get those rims switched around yet! Now that the truck drives I'll have to get a push on that chore.

Since this is such a far-reaching group I should point out that the ground here should be covered with snow. Our day time highs for this week have been more what we would expect at this time of the month in October. Today was a great chance to have the C8 out for it's first run in God knows how many decades.

Dad and I have been playing again, things have moved along slower then normal since we have been to the Hammond Barn and I have been off visiting friends. As things sit we have most of the cab and front sheet metal in place.

Hey, I have to call fraud. That video wasn't done in the last week: Where is the snow? It's December in Canada....there has to be snow. God knows we have it here in Manitoba.

Default Snow in Manitoba

Rob

Neil drove the truck out of the shed and you know where he usually is. You also know where he has been for the last 10 days. Still think it is a fraud?

Gord and Neil

P.S. Enjoy the Christmas like conditions and all the best of the Season to you and yours.

You are spoiling him with that sub-tropic environment. He will not want to return to Manitoba at the end of the Christmas break. He has to come back: there is a Dingo on the hoist waiting for him to finish.

The smile on his face in the video makes him look like a kid at Christmas.

Merry Christmas back at yourself and Niel.
