<\/div>\n
How is it possible TO MATE two giant trucks?<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Now that takes skilll.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
But it had to be done before loading  could be done.  The 5 ton truck<\/div>\n
ferried the pieces to the 14 wheeler parked on the road.  It took THREE MATINGS <\/div>\n
TO FILL THE TRACTOR TRAILER..<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cHello, Alan, what have you got that might look like Japan in 1945?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cLots\u2026come up to the farm.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
And that led to a bit of an adventure.  And caused two big trucks to get sexy.<\/div>\n
One was an 18 wheeler with a trailer 53\u2019 long and the other a large 5 Ton.  What was loaded?<\/div>\n
\u2026well take a look.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Such is the process of MATING two big trucks.  Then the loading of our set dressing.  Imagination !<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The second day was cold\u2026ground hard as a rock which was good for loading had not the Bob Cat tire gone<\/div>\n
flat.  Nor easy to get a man ro repair a tire \u2026. made urgent call and Steve arrived with his sledge hammer<\/div>\n
and new tube\u2026.cost $220.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The crew had been loading by hand\u2026.lots of labour..cheerful because there was a<\/div>\n
soccer game interlude and even hot soup for Martin and Brian courtesy of Marjorie.  Hot soup<\/div>\n
with lots of spice.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cHow is the soup Martin?<\/div>\n
\u201ca bit hot\u2026I mean really hot.”<\/div>\n
\u201cbecause it\u2019s kimchi\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Loaned my Bob Cat to the movie crew. I hoped the movie company would pay the bill for the tire but on the whole was relieved we got both trucks<\/div>\n
filled to the brim with set dressing \u2026convincing set dressing when the film comes out in the open.  Some sample pics above.<\/div>\n
