  • More and more maintenence on the main workhorses of the channel. Upgrading tires on Ol Blue and fixing the rear leaf springs on Trailmater. Then we had a recovery up on the mountain which turned into just driving the machine back down. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

    NOICE! The Drill Press has been upgraded since it was new. The Leather Belt goes down to an electric motor instead of up to a Line Shaft. Since the belt goes down around sleeves, arms, and fingers, someone also added the cage.
    "A line shaft is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century."

    And Shawn, godlike in presence, giggles like a 9 year old. What could be better.

Like overlanded but you go with your trailer set up with bbq and water ,fuel exitera they bring what they bring what they would normally bring and you constantly rescue them as you go😀serious though have weekend excursions, teaching by showing how you do things, it might be good to do a pre event planning for what items the people would /should ta
    ke along and which not to. It'd be a hit I can just see it now. And yes Rory the good would out way the bad.🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸 oh what I came here to say was i really love that drill press. God bless America and Canada we all need it.
