You can go to Microsofts site and search and download picture resizer, it's free and simple to use, even I can figure it out.

Hers a couple pic's i came across in my stack of pics . Here we have a 1945-46 Hayes model 13-12 the truck number maybe #150. I tried to track down the date and place they were taken, but i only be guessing by where my grandfather worked around the late 40's to 50's . The truck isn't brand new here it has some war wounds so i'm thinking it was taken in the 50's some time ,so that put him working and living in Harris Creek and also would make it a possible BCFP truck .He started working for BCFP in 1949 . Maybe HDX know's alittle more about this ole girl . enjoy

So happy for you you got a second crack at it.I've 'officially' been out as a full time gig since 2006,but have dabbled around it in a small way a few times still.I'd hoof it over to the island in a hurry for a off-highway truck ride though.

well u never know,maybe we'll cross paths on a dusty trail somewhere

This is probably a dumb question, but can anyone explain the shape of the hinge wood left in the butt of the top log in post #787 above? For the life of me, I can't figure it out.

 

[trux]

that is actually three logs at the top. two 'berries' and a twig. i hope that explains it

 

[Vigilant]

Kind of hard to tell with these old eyes. I should have noted the separate tags on the butts. Thanks.

 

[trux]

glad to be able to help
