    Trailer is plated Saskatchewan 2012, brand new 14 inch tires, damaged hitch. Terry's only request was that I pick it up at 2:00 pm when the site closes to the public.

    The first four miles through the reservation was all washboard, fearing the trailer could detach itself from the trailer ball had to go dead slow the rest of the 30 mile trip was uneventful.

    To avoid trouble used back roads via the Tom Tom, came back onto paved road about one mile from home.

    Since arriving home I now have it about one third demoed, they left the heavy power cord inside and there's a mile of copper tubing to supply the propane over head lights, water tank, hot and cold water to the sink, furnace, stove and the fridge and a power inverter 120 volts input with 12 volts 40 amps out.

    My Garmin was missing from my Ford Ranger when it was recovered from being stolen, the Tom Tom was borrowed from a neighbour. I do not like this GPS, its functions are not user friendly at all.

    Reduced to a pile of rubble, the wood scraps will go to our local landfill on Thursday. Our custodian does not allow anything at all to leave his domain and sometimes flags me down on the way out to inspect my truck.

    After the Thursday load then the floor comes off then we start building a utility trailer but that project will be put off until next spring. The Dodge Dakota has presidence.

    The metal goes to the farm.

    Reputation points given, good or bad, are based on the number of rep points the person giving them has accumulated since they have been a member. I've given members both and don't have a problem if the whole forum can see it.
    A +62 from me lets members know if I like their posts and their contributions to the forum. A -31 lets members know that they're being a horses ass.

    Very interesting and thank you. I was wondering what you meant by Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Imagine what technology can do today, if this can be revealed to the public now. Example Corona came to light almost fifty years after it was implemented. In addition you have to consider Looking Glass. One has to wonder why code names often refer to fables. Just to be clear, the U.S. is always referred to as the instigator. I am sure none of these programs were implemented without the help and support of Canada and the UK.

    Boom!

    Five eyes.

    Triggered, events will now escalate and there's no turning the clock back. To a new future

    I apologise for being cryptic.

    Many times your posts contain messages that are challenging to those that recognize them and not recognized by the general public. My responses to the tariffs have been cryptic, but few have called me out on it. I am sure there is intelligence not shared with Australia and New Zealand and I believe the two examples provided did not include them initially. It is assumed that which is shared with them would include France and therefore the six eyes. An even larger network is the 14 eyes, but intelligence is limited because of the chance of something becoming general knowledge. Therefore I feel three eyes (cyclops is another code name) is the appropriate description and few understand how this impacts politics, social life, economics, and scrap.

    Since it is your thread I do not feel guilty asking why a trade agreement with Mexico was announced before one with Canada? Even though NAFTA was thrown out the window, was our trade war with Canada a decoy? Does this create a back door to trade with China? Does this explain the change in logistics for scrap transport?

    I apologise for being cryptic.
    As an after thought I wanted to address the new future you refer to. Within the last year I made a prediction that refineries and foundries would start being built in the interior of the country with an improved infrastructure providing transportation through the west and mid-west to Canada and the Great Lakes. Several reasons were given for this belief at the time and present political movement supports this idea. I would like to make another point about the future, that is that there is little talk about Mexico paying for the wall. If the trade volume increases in the Gulf of Mexico this will be front and center in negotiations. Regardless what the future holds in store, you can bet it will include change.

    It's like Alice in Wonderland going down the rabbit hole. It's a very strange world that's revealed. It would be easy to get lost in a place where things are seldom exactly as they would seem.

    With that said : It begs the question .... how does one navigate from point to point without losing their way ?
