Nice to get the MV out for a run pre-spring, keep the fluids moving! Great pic.

Hi Darcy. Yes its good to keep the oil moving and batteries charged. I really don't like the idea of road salt getting on my jeeps. Luckily, Im far enough from the pavement that I can do lots of driving on gravel (snow/ice) roads without needing to worry about salt. The NDCC's leave a lot to be desired as far as handling on snow though.

Phil: so far our frost is still in the ground here, but there are a few bare spots on the gravel roads that get a muddy surface in the afternoon sun. We will be thawing out in the next month, Im sure. Still lots of snow for now...

Out for a spin last weekend. The jeep is running well. Might be time to start the M37 project. Someone recently loaded me up with most of the parts I need to get it going, so I don't really have any excuses...

It would be great to see you out here again Chris. Is your Alberta summer project still a go, or did it get delayed? If you have time, we can try to get out to the mountains...

Beautiful photos, Wayne.

Had to look at them twice to take in the jeep!

Roughly 45km west of here (as the crow flies). Upper section of the Ghost River. North of Lake Minnewanka. Google maps

Hey Wayne. Nothing happening this summer unfortunately. Maybe next year. I'm on schedule for a large project with OPG for the rest of this year, then again spring and fall 2021.

I take it the intermittent miss has not re-appeared?


When I was retired, I would drive to the base and pick up the mail and a coke. On the way home I would head into the Spruce Woods forest and go to a clearing and read the paper. Absolute solitude. Almost makes me want to retire again.

Rob - The plug wire you helped me diagnose, has definitely cured the problem. Seemed to be a mystery for a while, as the engine ran better when the wire was positioned a certain way, and became worse when the wire moved.

I would love to have the "option" to retire at will. Its important to have a place where you can get away forget about the crowds and stress of work.

Hi Wayne. You should consider submitting one of your photos in the mountains with your jeep to Kaiser Willys. Their annual photo contest for their calendar closes at the end of August.

Regards, Mel
