Default Spare rim for Harry!

Ha sounds like a novel title don't it. Yes we are back with the loot as it were.
It was a long drive and although the wheel was large even without the tire. Anita did not have to cuddle up with it while sleeping in the back although I did suggest it should come between us a few times! Ha ha. Naw she was a good sport and i managed to stow it away under the bed on my side so it tilted me to her side...? It made it home intact and even across the line without search or siezure when coming back to Canada via Saskatchewan. No recipt? No worries had the one for the rad I got...thans Rob for the tour and the recci of the elephant grave yrard! say Hi to Al!
It was good to meet you Rob and see your set up, sorry no pics as I want to leave that to him...well there was one of us together when he was suiting up for battling rust! Maybe I'll post it If Rob says it's okay...? Anita askes Rob...?

As I said great to meet you Rob and I am glad we got to bring the rim to other west of Canada...
Casey and Anita...
Oh By the way if you do get the chance to be envited to Rob Loves Compound..be prepared to walk lot's, work lot's and get dirty! Did I mention Work? Kidding Rob

Good to hear you made it back to BC, but I have to tell you that Saskatchewan is in fact part of Canada, so you should not have had any problems with Saskatchewan customs.

There is no work going on here, just fun. If summer was only 12 months long, it would be perfect, but already the changes in the seasons is starting to occur. It was only 5°C last night. In 2 months or so that could well be the high of the day.The rain is also coming down more often, making harvesting of sand for the sand blaster much more difficult.



I had one of these trailers a few years ago that I ended up scrapping because the box had been overly modified. I still use the frame on my wood hauling trailer, and the cargo box is used to hold scrap metal. I think I have the upside down "Aid China" contract data plate for it somewhere. The axle and miscellaneous parts went to Minto MB. I suspect there are still more of these hiding around, but they are indeed uncommon in restored condition.

Still warm here and it's okay with me...I know what you mean about being hot during the day then dropping like a rock in the evenings! It got cold in the truck while in back...especially up in the hills! hey you mentioned Oregon for the convention/show next year are you going to it? It is the one for MVPA correct?
Good to hear you are taking it easy...Casey
