Default A photo of Rob?

I can't believe they were able to photograph Rob! He usually is pretty good at avoiding the camera. He must have been very tired at that moment. Most of the Prairie Command photo's over the years are of Rob's hand covering the shot. The photo of Rob just standing there is more rare than the Field Artillery Tractor body that was found! Well done.
Derk.

Hey, if I was foolish enough to let (ney,even assist) the poaching of an artillery shell from the province, then the photo is a minor thing in comparison.

Perhaps someone slipped something into my drink that day.

I am starting to get nervous about this entire upcoming operation...permits or not, that Manitoba seems like a lawless land with roving bands of MV bandidos demanding pesos in exchange for safe passage...just look at those pictures...who would trust any of those ruffians? I may need backup!

So in discussions with Peter, it may well happen. We'll see how much room he has in the backseat of his car.

Will advise, so thanks to the others who have offered, but stand down for now.

Of course, even the max paint available from Brian right now will only satisfy our hunger for a very short period of time.

Default The MLU Member Network is Great!

We made it back to Cold Lake last night after three long days of travel. Here's the list of who made this trip work out:

Thanks to Brian Asbury for making the paint available on our schedule and providing spot on directions for pick up. The little "extra" I got was a nice touch I might say, wink, wink!

I had a side deal going on to sell some parts to Peter Simundson who graciously met me at Brian's place. It was nice to meet you Peter and I hope you enjoy your lights!

Rob, it was a pleasure to meet you in person and thanks for the heads up on the alternate travel route and restaurant suggestion, it all worked out perfect! Wayne's paint will be in his hands shortly.
