Stuff would have to not work, then dramatically work just when all seems lost. Swearing, to be beeped out would be obligatory. Sound anything like what goes on there?

Everything but the girl related stuff...pity. While there has yet to be any tool throwing, there have been some dramatics at the barn. There are differences of opinions, unwanted advice, ignored advice and stuff of that nature, but nothing that prevents us from sharing a beer at the end of the day. I'm afraid that the "Hammond Barn Reality Show" is limited to one "boobie", and a few loose nuts...

Being a quasi-member of the Hammond Crew and a witness to the activities..... there are other elements that would make for good television viewing.....hell I am not sure that a full length movie is not in the works.

Let us begin with a segment showing the Hammond Crew planning their next recovery...........I already have to back up..... the Hammond Crew receives information that a CMP might/may/is available for salvage/purchase/or repossession. The member finding the treasure now becomes the lead/oic/commandant and other members fall in. There is much discussion on what price should be paid. At this same time the vendor/victim/target is thinking how much he should ask for the sale of the treasure/cmp. There are lengthy discussions which may take years to resolve.

Once a price has been settled on, the recovery trip becomes center stage. Already the route is being plotted to cover as much territory as possible. There are stops anticipated for perusal of future purchases, stops at MLU member residences to reconnoiter present restorations at that location and sniff out needed parts.

The recovery in itself would make for a short segment. Like a military raid, the purpose of the operation is to gather as much intel/parts and accessories as possible and leave. The return trip home is usually very quiet. All energies and thoughts have been spent. The purchaser may bemoan the fact that he has paid full price but he will be reminded that all four rims are in good shape and well worth the price.

The next scene is back at the barn. The boys are all grinning. It is a warm grin..... they say little....any visitor to the barn is greeted with a warm glow....and the new acquisition is pointed out. Penetrating oil is passed around freely....all nuts and bolts that may be undone in the next 5 years are given a liberal dose.....The tractor is warmed up... the chains are attached and with pomp and ceremony, the new acquisition is put on parade. Once properly parked and aligned, the cmp is put at ease, stand easy and one final glance is given before the crew returns to the barn.....

Information has been received that another piece of kit might be available.

The final scene per episode should be a shot of the look on the wife’s incredulous face, as she shakes her head in disbelief. Cue in ominous music and fade to black with an unidentified Rotter pleading “It’s Clive’s truck”…
