We lost our last dog to cancer in 2005 and we've been thinking about a new puppy the last number of years. 'Aimee' is 1/2 Yellow Lab and 1/2 Golden Retriever. She's also dual citizen with Mom being Canadian and Dad being a visiting American with apparently multiple love affairs going on this spring in a nearby neighborhood. These photos are from July when she was a little better than two months old.
My next-door neighbor left for retirement to around Bez's area in December of last year, so I lost the use of my cattle trucker/trailer. Rather than buying it at auction and spending about $5000 to bring it back to 'road worthiness', I went looking for a good used one in Manitoba. Knew I wanted a Norbert trailer, as it is the Cadillac of steel trailers in Western Canada. Found this one about 260 miles from here and took pictures of it when Dad and I went investigating one day. We went to the manufacturer plant the same day and got a new price on a trailer like this - $16,000. Auction was a week later and bought it over the phone for 7k. Local from that area hauls Limousin bulls to a fella around here and offered to haul it back when he brought bulls down, so it worked out really well.
It's 7'x7'x20'. Really like the extra head room. It's a 2000 model and had the premium package with the aluminum checkerplate, lots of extras and the oil hubs. Just surface rust on the interior bottom 6 inches, so I wired down the exposed metal and painted it with trem-clad to stop the rust. Hoping to take out the exterior boards this spring and scrape/paint the remainder down past the floor.
