I believe Google Maps uses the current local speed limit - so that could be up to 80 mph in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. If you are going to bring your truck, you might need to do some mechanical "improvements" to it - before you leave. :driver: Probably better call me before you leave. I...

You are most certainly welcome to come on down. According to Google Maps, it is only 3,597 miles. It says you can make it in 61 hours. I don't know, if that includes rest stops. :smile:

Yes, I know the date will be a problem for some. All I can say is that there is only one Armed Forces Day per year and it seems like a good day (and others must agree) to have a rally. Sorry about that. I must be very careful on this. I don't know what I am supposed to do, when I want to go...

OK. I am going to do this again this year - 2016. Best to start another thread - or just continue with this one? Oh, by the way, the date this year is May 21st. Yes, I know, but there is only one Armed Forces Day in the year. (Most likely those folks heading to Ohio / Maryland won't be...

I made it. :lol: http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/blackpowder-mortar-and-cannon-sponsored-by-seacoast-artillery/i-would-like-to-introduce-you-to-abigail/msg1099555967/ I named her Abigail - so I suppose it is a bad girl. :smile: If you would like more info, just let me know. I don't want to...

Please PM me your name, address, phone number, and Social Security Number (for tax purposes), if you want to be included in my Last Will and Testament. :razz:

Did someone say "cannon fodder"? I have the cannon. :)

It uses 1,050 grains of black powder and golf balls. Can I play through?

I will admit it is kind of a cool looking piece of equipment. (I built it myself.) I have a thread about it on another forum, but I am not sure it fits on this forum, as it is not exactly a "military vehicle". Should I start a thread on it - and where would I put it?

Would it help, if I put a "recoilless rifle" on my Mule? Aren't those supposed to beat armor? :D

How about my 1968 M-274 A5 Mule?

I would love to, but I just shelled out the transmission in mine yesterday pulling it into the parking lot at the Armory. :cry: I hope I can get it fixed before next year's BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG RALLY. Either way, I put it on my calendar.

Bummer! Brady did not get any tires? I spoke with him Friday morning on the phone. He wasn't there, yet - and we left before he was going to get there.

Yeah, sometimes it is easy to figure things out. :lol:

OK. Made it home from the Convention and I just have to tell you this story. A little bit of background first. I was given a 1945 MB jeep from a Battle of the Bulge First Sergeant. My collection is mostly US military weapons and equipment, but I do own a Mule - and now an MB. I did not know...

Glad to be of help. Let me know, if you have questions.

Got here about 3:00 PM. Super-8 about 5 miles down the road. Passed an Iowa "somebody" just North of Topeka - not saying who 'cause they were swerving all over the road and visiting in the cab. :-) I will be wearing my BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG hat. If you see me, say "Hi".

snip . . . "for a movie rental deal (that fell thru).." . . . snip Wow! All that work and it "fell thru"! How do you recover from something like that? That would rate pretty high on my crap-o-meter.

Thanks - that is something they taught me in the Army. If you stick around long enough (in my case 25 years), you are bound to learn something. Honestly, I never even looked for a sticky. Should I start one? :grin: I have so many things on my plate, that I have to write things down. I...

I just sent a five page Microsoft Word document to all the folks that were on my Distribution List for this event. It is the After Action Report (AAR for you former Army types) - lessons learned, statistics, things to fix, etc. It is a little large to post here, but if you would like me to...
