I apologize for not spending more time on here and seeing your posts. I usually check my subscribed threads then the new posts. Depending on when that happens, sometimes there are less than 10 posts in the new posts column. I'll try to do better and see if I can follow all of your posts (more...

I wish I had seen this post earlier. Is the work weekend approximately the same time each year? Former submariner here, MM2(SS), with 11+ years of shipyard outside machinist experience. I visited the Torsk several months ago while visiting Baltimore for a long weekend. Glad to see people...

Here is a link to some info on the Philco radio. Apparently it is an aircraft radio from WWII. WWII Philco Army Aircraft Radio IFF Transponder Tes (03/08/2011)...

Good job.

Here are some pictures of the dogbone on my truck when I got it. It took about 45 minutes to replace it with a new one.

None of the deuces were for sale, and no bobbed deuces were there, either.

Here you go. Video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjoVysJRKxA

It was wet and slightly chilly today, but there were some nice vehicles at the Virginia War Museum show. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, and tomorrow's turnout will be better. Tomorrow's show runs from 1000 to 1600.

No signups, I believe. You could call the museum to be sure, though.

Looking forward to a great show this year. Favorite memory of last years show was on the second day, and had a lady who drove a deuce for the forestry department of a northeastern state (can't remember which one) come up and start telling stories. I told her to climb on in, and I could tell by...

You can buy fittings at the local hardware store that don't require soldering or flaring, they're called compression fittings. I had a worn spot on my fuel tank vent line going to the slobber tube and cut out the worn spot, uncurled the tubing and put in a compression fitting, end of problem.

I used Gorilla Glue to glue the soft-top on my deuce back to the plastic channel piece. It's held up fine for almost a year, so far. Pliobond is expensive, but when the directions are followed has very good adhesion. Ditto on the Krylon fusion camo paint.

They went and changed my shift, now the only weekend I could possibly make it is the last weekend. Crap!

Got some material from a local upholstery shop, almost the exact color I needed. Cut out a patch big enough to cover rip + a couple of inches to the sides. Cut out another identical patch. On the outside of the cover, trace out the outline of the patch, the use Pliobond on both the patch and...

so where was it from? If you know the unit, you can come up with something.

I've got tools and a welder. Maybe we could get together and make some stoves. I'm still up for a HR get together. Dave

Here are some pictures from the Portsmouth, VA Memorial Day parade as well as the video I posted earlier.

the 127th Memorial Day Parade in Portsmouth, VA. The oldest Memorial Day parade in the country.

Too far away to help with your parade, driving in the Portsmouth, VA Memorial Day parade in a little bit. I just wanted to say that the magnetic sign idea is a great way to thank the veterans for their support. I'm assuming your friend does this as part of his business, could you PM me his...

Welcome to the website. Always glad to see another Virginian here. Are you close to Hampton Roads?
