Well, getting ready for the King County Fair, to which everyone is invited of course, the day was spent mostly on production rather than the new display trailer.

We did, however, get a basic clean out of the inside done. At least it's a start!

Today soldier A's OCD was raging. Despite the fact that he was supposed to be making products for the upcoming King County Fair, he just couldn't leave the new trailer alone. So, with minion support he changed the tires to the matching set that goes with Matilda.

Things got really interesting when they tried to pull and flip the lunette so the trailer pulls level. Took the torch and a breaker bar to bust the nut loose. Then the sledge hammer had to come out to break the lunette ring loose so it could be flipped.

Stuart beat on that thing for what seamed like hours, but perseverance won in the end, and the ring is flipped. The tires are much bigger and there is a clearance issue that will have to be dealt with, but all in all it was a solid day.

We're moved! That's right friends, we finally got the motor pool moved. YAY!!!

We now have a shop once again that's big enough to put the big trucks and trailers in to work on them. So, we will be back under way shortly.

We have also been out to some really cool events with the Deuce Paracord Designs business and had a lot of fun as well. We will be putting up back-dated posts on those events shortly so stay tuned.

Today we picked up a tan M105 to go with Matilda as a display trailer and this thing is in awesome shape. Once painted and the matched tires and wheels are mounted it will be the perfect display unit.

Got lots of work ahead but, things are really fun right now. A big thanks to everyone that follows us and has helped our little endeavors grow!
