    Stencilling Trick

    Sounds better than what I do. I know people have looked at me and wondered what form of witchcraft I was performing, with the chopsticks duct-taped to my fingers (to hold down bulgy parts of the stencil while I spray). Cheers

    And enough vehicle to haul a particular trailer! Judging by the marks on the road, it was a really exciting ride well before they ended up in the hedge! Cheers

    It is when you are driving across it! A good day in great company. I got my V parts (but no field desk!), GR got lots of other kinds of parts, we shared a good meal. All in all, a well spent afternoon. Glad y'all got back safely. You are now fully conversant in what I warned you about, the...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    It's still "right", you're doing a field modification as opposed to a higher echelon overhaul. ;) Cheers

    4th of July Activities in the V100

    I've seen videos of them swimming in Guatemala, they all look like they list a bit to port, because like you said above, the whole drive and operator train are in a line up the left side. Y'all keep this up, and I may have to swim mine one day. :) Cheers

    4th of July Activities in the V100

    Carrumba!! You're a braver man than I be, Gunga Din! Every time I get a yearning to take mine down to Lake Travis, I start calculating the cost of recovery barges, etc., and the darn chicken noises start. The likelihood of mine ever swimming again is pretty close to zero, I'm afraid, but...

    40th MVPA CONVENTION Topeka, Kansas - June 25-27, 2015, Coming??

    Clinto, glad y'all got home safely. It was nice talking with y'all. We stayed and watched the armour move out Sunday morning, to me that's a favourite part. We rolled in to the Austin area around 12:30 this morning. I've been to 9 conventions so far, enjoyed every single one of them. A lot...

    40th MVPA CONVENTION Topeka, Kansas - June 25-27, 2015, Coming??

    It's been great so far. I haven't been to a convention yet that I didn't enjoy. The only "bad" thing is that now I have gotten to know so many folks at these shows, I spend half my time visiting rather than digging through the vendors tables. ;) Actually, maybe that's a good thing. Gunnut...

    40th MVPA CONVENTION Topeka, Kansas - June 25-27, 2015, Coming??

    Sitting here ready to go. Sam/Pawnshop will be picking me up in about 30 minutes. 20 minutes further up the road, we'll meet up with Scott/Reloader64 and get on the highway headed North. With luck we'll be bedded down in Topeka by nightfall, and we'll have our noses pressed to the glass at...

    Rubbing compound worked wonders

    There is something special about having the original paint looking good on an MV. I'm starting this project on my Mule, which has survived unmolested in its original paint since it came out of the Marines. The paint is in decent shape (as in not all chipped up), but oxidized. The test spots...
