A magnificent mobile monument to this memorable man.

Chris, I too have been reflecting on those veterans of this hobby who have gone on to what one member called in a phone call last night: "That big motor pool in the sky." One day, we will each join them there. But in the meantime, we remain on duty here carrying their memories, preserving...

I spoke to Ron's wife this afternoon. She asked me to pass along her appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all y'all for your kind thoughts, many prayers, and offers of help. She has read this some of the earlier posts to this thread (and will likely return to read more) and is genuinely touch...

Our Deuce has that same CARC over Non-Skid (bedliner) treatment on the upper surfaces of both front fenders AND the side steps/running boards. I like it A LOT ! ! !

I have been asked to simplify the SS BENEVOLENCE FUND donation instructions.... Hence, here is a quote from Post #1 of the SSBF Thread in the Chaplains Corner forum originally posted back in 2009:

Derek, Thank you for your kind memories and for letting us know that you have had another loss recently. Our prayers are with you, Sir. John SS Chaplain.

For those who have called me regarding the SteelSoldiersBenevolenceFund (SSBF) accepting and forwarding donations for Lucille's assistance..... I have PM's Swiss and asked the pertinent questions. He has much on his plate and is on point as of this posting. The immediate answer is: YES...

Some personal thoughts on my brother-in-Christ, Ron... Although Ron and I never met in the flesh, never looked at one another face-to-face, and never even shook hands he was my friend, my brother, a co-addict in the Green Iron addiction (and in that an occasional "dealer" in that "drug"...

Heavenly Father, We pray Your Holy Spirit's covering on Ron's family and ALL who knew him in his walk upon this earth. We are deeply grieved by this sudden and emotionally devastating loss, yet we count as gain Ron's presence with You even as we post our remembrances, pour out of our hearts...

Sweet find! Not many of them left anymore.

Glad you've gotten her home. Your pic shows a rather RARE configuration! Many of us keep our trucks "Topless", but your "Cabless" redefines "fair weather" limits. LOL Thanks for keeping us posted on your progress. :driver::goodjob::grd:

Salute! And, in doing so you will officially accept the title of AMBASSADOR FOR THE MV HOBBY. Make us proud, Soldier! Carry on.

When planning a dump-run I inform the neighbors of the day I'll be going and let them add to the load. It IS more productive. AND, I usually get at least one neighborly volunteer drooling for the opportunity to ride in the Deuce and willing to pay for they trip via his blood, sweat, and achy...

SURPRISE ! You got you a bouncing baby M-Gator! And probably didn't even know you were "MV Pregnant", did ya?!?!?

Ya know, some people will do the right things. And some others will do things right. But among the good people in this hobby I too have found some of the best-est people who know how to do the right things right! And that is rare in this world today. It is a privilege to call such folks...

WOW ! Somehow I have been completely oblivious of this month's contest until this morning. I have been rather distracted from MV's by the Christmas activities around our LZ. I must RUSH to the polls before they close!!! But first, I have to study the candidates and their submissions...
