Default Progress on a Windy Sunday

-6 degrees C this morning at the barn. Lucifer still had some life after Bob and Grant's axle assembly Saturday marathon. After restoking and filling the fire box, the heat started up in earnest.

I spent the morning organizing the nuts and bolt bins. Now they will never find what they are looking for. Following that fun, I broke out the grinder to remove the remaining rust and scale from my six bolt rims.

Grant arrived near 0900hrs and Bob joined us shortly there after. The dynamic duo set to finishing up the other end of the axle and made some good progress. The attached photo show that the modern "mechanic" needs four hands to do the work of the solitary wartime mechanic. Bob and or Grant will post some shots later. Lunch at Chez Marie was as good as always - or as Bob says, "It's the best lunch I've had today". Our usual server was there today, so we could misbehave without worrying about having our bunnies boiled...

The sun came out around noon and soon we were serenaded with the sounds of large slabs of snow and ice slipping off the barn. By 1500hrs, the barn roof was mostly uncovered. All in all, it was a great day at the Hammond Barn.
