Photos #45-57 are from today's run. Great weather, great crew, trucks behaved. My new air compressor worked like a champ except for a cheap PA hose that blew a fitting. Unfortunately my original plan was foiled by some real big new ditches but Vern took us up on a very scenic route through Shawnigan which even included some snow! And the best part -- we found perfect Christmas trees!!!

Post some pics, not a link to some lame-ass-site of which i have no interest in whoring myself to. I'm already a slave to the oil and gas industry!... On that note, did i read that some PA parts/tools s*** the bed also?? Surprise, surprise...
Back to the drink i go...

Maybe next time you can come and take your own photos...
I know PA sells crap but I thought a short air line would be hard to screw up. Guess I was wrong.
PS -- did you even try my link?
Great run ,we got our daily bag limit of trees,no catch and release and the 40 smelled like 3 air fresheners stuffed into the heater box. That was better than the usual smell of mold,rust, stale beer spills and wet dog.The Morb failed to mention that we got into snow deep enough that we couldnt go any further.We used Andrew as the battering ram,back up,goose it ram the snow gain 10 feet,back up hit it again,gain 8 feet etc. etc. That was the point that we realized that our arb compressor wasnt running and the diffs were not locked due to a siezed pressure valve.We managed to find our way around the mountain and found a shortcut back out to avoid doubling back.Just as it was getting dark and we were airing back up we realized that the headlights that were working fine during the day decided to quit now that it was dark.No problem Dingo says we will drive back to Vic with our 8 candle power chinese driving lights that were pointing every direction but at the road. It was a little testy on the backroads but once we got to the highway we tucked in behind a truck and hoped we didnt get spotted by the law. Murphy's law states that you cant even have a sunday xmas tree run without a little pucker factor anyway.

Great day indeed! Everyone had fun, including the dogs. Sorry, I didn't realize you guys had headlight problems... otherwise we could have put your truck in the middle and convoy'd back down the highway. Thanks to themorb for taking pictures with THE ONLY camera we had, his iPhone.
This is my favourite:
Well done boys and girls!
Good lookin trees as well. Vern I have a window for you courtesy of the potato patch.
Ryan and I were in no shape to come along sunday. Nor was Gina or Mel really.
Besides, having a lumbering American pickup in those photos would have ruined them.
Did you guys find any good trails? or places to explore?

Ok the wolf story. we are driving up a steep snowy section and in the middle of the road is what everyone said was a dead deer.We cant stop cuz we will loose momentum but on the way back down we go by slower and i say to Dingo stop thats not a deer. Upon further inspection we see that it is a large wolf with paws about as big as a mans hand and the head was missing. I am guessing that a sasquatch ripped his head off and used it for some kind of satanic ritual or ???

That'd be my guess too. Musta ran out of kokanee and been in a pissy mood.
But yeah,many hours in a loud rattly tin box, with oil and diesel fumes would not have gone over well with my digestive process on sunday..not to mention f#$ing christmas trees.
Oh and morb, I didn't click your link either...saw the faeces book and recoiled in horror.
The gub'ment is just waiting for us all to click on those sorta links so they can install their brain monitoring software.
