the old trucker:
  I like to apologize to the members for not making any progress in the last few months. I feel like I don't have much energy to get a start at anything. The doc said to sit back & rest what's left of the ol' ticker for awhile. Hopefully we'll get back at it soon. For now I will be a commentator for the boys progress down here.  

                                                                     One laid back old trucker.

oldsledz:
All in time.  I have so many projects (3 cars, 1 truck and 25 snomobiles) that sometimes I just walk away from them.  When you are ready and able,  the machine will be waiting for you.--Keep the pace.
Hope things are better.

the old trucker:

  Thanks Oldsledz... A good swift kick is all I need to get er' going again..    OT.

the old trucker:

   Yes Virginia... There is a Santa Claus !     

  Remember Kris Kringle saying that in the movie " Miracle on 54th Street " I've watched it a few times & now it's time for the saying to change. It should now say.....   Yes OT...There is a Santa Claus !!   

   I took the Boss out to do a bit of last minute shopping yesterday & checked the mail in route. Low & behold she came back with the mail & a fairly large box under her arm. I said it must be a late Xmas present from one of the family. She said no it's for you.
   When I looked at the shipping address, my head started to swell up & a big smile came accross my face. I knew then what was inside. But who in the world would send this to me. I had to open it before going. First thing I saw was a note  saying "Merry Christmas and All the best in the New Year & singed by Santa" Then I saw the Northern Manitoba Bombardier Rally cap with the yellow bomber on it & 2 sweat shirts with the same logo on them.
   Well.....I think my head was swollen that much I thought I wasn't going to get the cap to fit. That definitely made my day. Like a kid in a candy store. After all day thinking about our new presents I think I have it narrowed dawn to the culprit that sent them.
   There is 1 of 3 possible people responsible for this & 2 have a "yellow bomber" same as on the logo. I would like thank you very much for the thoughtful gift you have sent & I will cherish this for a long time to come.

 PS. I would like to mention that none of this would have been possible if it wasn't for Mr. Cameron McLean & his story in the woodworking magazine.  Thanks Cam... God Bless You my friend...

the old trucker:
  I have a question about installing the wheel & bearings on a B12. Here's a pic of how I think it should go on. I want to know if this is the right way. I have new bearings & seals ordered. I need to know what the length of # 10 is, as the 3 I have are different lengths.

   I have a small problem. I put on the four wheels on one side today & noticed that the front three are not in line with the rear one. In the pic, # 10, there were only 3 of them & 3 #11 when I got the frame. I had 6 new # 10's made @ 1 1/2" long, but it appears to be too short. Does anyone know what or how to measure for the right ones ? It's costly getting them made.
  Oldsledz did you said you had to get shims for yours ?

                                                                            Thanks from OT.
