Greetings all! I am writing this while we are up on Manitoulin on a cloudy day... So here we are for the last battleday of the summer! As always mark the poll if you are coming or not but MARK THE POLL!!! :-)
For lunch planning on Dagwoods from Sobeys like last year. They were awesome! Price will be $10 bucks and will include salads. Also keep in mind that this is the Gun Club's annual pig roast as well! tickets are $20.00 and it starts at 4:30 so why not stick around and hit that spread as well!
Anyone has any questions let me know!

Farm completely dug out and screened of weeds and gravel. new building layout and crazy paving put in along with new paved road along rock wall. river along picnic table side by Monte Casino all cleaned and slightly re-configured and bottom of river cleaned out of weeds for now so can be driven in and under bridge. Still needs some weeding and general cleaning up for battleday

I sent you an email like 3 weeks ago. Board works perfectly except as you said no sound.

Hey Mitch, if you can bring your blower out to clean up mess that would be great! I will be leaving around 4

Done.
As long as we have to weed whip, I’ll bring the blower as well to clean up the clippings.

Going through the strange gremlins that plagued some of my more reliable tanks.
Sturmtiger somehow one of the cables to the receiver had got loose and underneath another one so any movement shut the receiver down, Tiger 1 has a faulty on off switch power cable which any hard movement will lower the power or completely shut it down. Fortunately not the board. KV-2 needs a total teardown of the turret and wiring management
A shot of Guderian who definitely would not have been amused at my shoddy maintenance
