Hate leaving someone on the side of the road... glad it went well for getting it back home though. Hopefully wont be too much to fix.
 
Other than that - we had a great time! Lots of laughs, lots of fun.
 
That was my first time being down on the river bed since the flood and was a little upsetting to see the changes, The one part where there is a gentle flow of water that freezes over is totally gone. JL and I were doing a beautiful ice ballet in the H2's last out - was sooo much fun.
 
Falls were beautiful once again - still have a ways to form so we should have a look again in early spring...
 
Congrats again Rossman!!!!!

From what I see, just bearing and gears. and seals. check the other hubs for milky oil.Replace seals as needed or just replace them all for peace of mind!

Sad to see the mechanical issue.....  It looks awefillu dry in there, did it run out of oil?
 
Glad to hear the rest of the trip went well.  Sorry I missed it.

Well, I somehow made it threw the mass layoffs and onto the books at least until spring... Then today our client (MEG) announced a 75% cut in the budget for 2015, and a few hours later we had a company wide meeting because they stopped the entire project cold. 
 
I am almost certainty going to be jobless by the end of the week, Merry Freak'n Christmas! ...Sigh
 
Need an assistant Dave? Lol

Whoa.... dude that sucks!!
 
lots o nastiness going on in the oil and related fields.... Im doing ok so far but who knows what 2015 will bring... I'm hoping to have the mortgage paid off if all goes well so that will take some stress off me...
 
That's why I wanna retire to BC - we are too reliant on oil... have a nice place on the island and live off the ocean!
