Not much progress..working too much. I got the brakes working and put it in the Prince Albert Fair Parade. I was attached to the North Saskatchewan's Reg't display. Their pipe band was choking on my exhaust fumes and they had a Milcot following the band. By the end of the parade my brakes were gone and I realized a wheel cylinder seal is gone. I pulled my M101 CDN 3/4 ton trailer with a poster honouring the Korean Vets. Too bad nobody gave me a photo.

Here is a photos I took two days ago when I went playing on the local ATV trails with truck. This is the ultimate ATV. The other one is at the end of a rainbow. (not a pot of gold yet..)

Monday is a big day for many of our website participants. "At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them!"

Don't bother looking for the Pot of Gold, you are spending it.
The Pot of gold is what you require to restore these things properly.

When you visit you can admire my Veteran plates

(That is... when i eventually pick them up.)

Actually the costs in addition to the above postings for this truck was another $150 for a new fender and some other small parts. I just could not fasten the fender properly due to the warping and a few bolt holes were ripped. I wanted it strong so that the Jerry can bouncing around did not loosten the fender on me. So the pot of gold really has not cost me much so far. Two pieces of flat glass have to be replaced, and I want to get canvas and bows. The biggest cost will be a new garage once I settle into the retirement home..whenever that happens. The truck is pretty solid, and is working out well.

I guess the one ton truck and the 20 ft trailer can be added to this cost but don't tell anybody.
