    Curious... There's no place like home ...

    Mom & Dad are leaving the family "home-place" to me & my wife (29 acres). We want to build a house there but, we've got our work cut out. Needs lots of clean up---15 yrs of unrestrained Mother Nature. I see several trips to the landfill, pulling stuck tractors out of the mud, and lots of...

    A few questions before I go pick up my M1009

    Unless things have changed at Redstone, you shouldn't even have to go on base. Most of the GL listed CUCV's are at a NG unit adjacent to the base but even then I'd try to find someone to hold your gun(s). The GL guys at the NG unit are super nice, or were when I picked up my 1009.
