Default Duh......

What size hammer do you use when you run out of patience....?

Readers have to appreciate that most if not all the bull work done by Phil is solo.....one man show...... all by his lonesome...... with out breaking anything or hurting himself......

Kudo !!!!!

Happy Boxing Day Bob

I keep all the hammers locked in a drawer with the key in the house so when I get to the point of want to hit something I have to walk to the house to get the key. But more seriously when I get to that point of looking for a bigger hammer I try to remember to quit for the day and come back and look at in the morning, found this cuts down on broken parts and trips to the emergency room.

About working alone, not by choice, I'm just not as lucky, as you, there just are not the same number of CMP nuts lurking in the woods of New Hampshire. The Hammond Barn Crew is also very lucky to have someone to host such a group.

I would like to add that MLU and all it's members is one of the things that has really kept the fun in working on what is a rather obscure military vehicle here in the states. I general start my day by looking to see what you guys all over the world have been up to while I slept and then at the end of the day catch up on whats been going on during the day.

Cheers and more power to you all Phil

Default Ooooh Phillllllllllllllll

Better get your shovel ready...... more of the wonderful white stuff is coming your way......

We should get about 8 inches of the sticky wet stuff tomorrow.

We have set up fans at the barn and will try blowing it East as I hear Vermont and New Hampshire needs it for the ski slopes.

Need to spend an hour outside tonite to prepare for the snow storm.

Around here we lay down newspaper all over the long driveway...... so in the morning we just roll up the newspaper and put it all in the garbage.

The City of Montreal have a similar way for keeping the downtown area snow free...... they park all the City trucks side by each in the busy streets.... soon as the storm is over they just drive them away.

Hope you have food stock piled..... or beer anyways.

Bob

Default We got some......

....most East board airports were jammed.....

We got 6 inches of very heavy sticky snow......some drifting.

I fear the Vermont New Hampshire region may have taken the brunt of it.....

No word from Phil he may be buried in the white stuff....

Well I am off for a ride on the snow blower.....

Bob

Default No Snow just a lot of wind

Hi Bob

No we didn't get the snow we did get about 12 hours of very high wind with snow mixed in but non of the snow got to the ground just blew by traveling horizontal.

Total snow for the year 30" and 24" of that was in October.

The real reason for no response was two fold, a week with that nasty respiratory illness. At the same time my internet got the intermittent flu meaning that our connection never lasted long enough to read all the way through the new post on MLU inevitably as soon as I type up a response I'd loose the connection.

Fix for the internet flu was replace 200' of buried phone cable, and all the phone wiring in the house. Fortunately when redid the power service to put in transfer switch I buried and empty conduit.

The wind is strange though very strong and blustery and we don't have any politicians in the state.

Cheers Phil
