The Morton Loggers Jubilee has been one of our favorite events to participate in,





but this weekend was very different than the past couple of years. The vending field had empty spaces everywhere. 

The mobile shooting gallery was the big hit and we got to talk gun safety with tons of kids. This weekend was also the first time we got to get on the roof of the Dragon Wagon. What an awesome way to watch the parade.

Both barn doors are now installed on the Dragon Wagon 2 trailer, the rest of the week will be used for inventory production and load up for the Morton Loggers Jubilee.

Monumental! That would be the best way to describe the day!


Started the day with a trip for some plywood to replace the scaffold planks that delaminated in the weather last winter. We had to strip the old nasty plywood off first and clean up the steel frame before the new plywood could be installed. And, to avoid the new planks from suffering the same fate as the originals,




we decided to seal them up real good with some enamel paint on both sides and all edges. To up the refit even more we added sand to the top paint coats for traction.

Next we moved on to the fitting of the second door for the trailer. That went pretty smooth, as all we had to do was fit it to the remaining opening.  So, it is clamped and curing for hardware tomorrow.

Thinking that this had been a good day, Soldier A went into hyper drive and cut the opening in the roof for the hatch and framed it out for the surround. By dark the hatch was in and ready for hardware tomorrow.

What an amazing day!
