Some additional photo album memories of readying the 220KAK for her recovery trip....
I had located some "new" wheels and tires. They had come of an M818 that had gotten larger "shoes" for playing in the mud. These tires still had (and still have) the mold nubs on them. Got the full set of...
Well, as the 21st of the month slips away, I see our 220KAK has managed TWO votes! I am appreciative yet surprised. Others are more "beautiful", better restored, more "desirable" in the typical motor pool, and even currently operational. Yet we still have several weeks to see this poll to...
My jealousy is camo'd under a large puddle of DROOL !
Congrats on scoring what most of us only dream about.
PLEASE keep us posted on your restoration progress.
Carry on!
"No suck thing" ?!?!?....
Dude, vacuum hoses can be readily replaced! :shock:roflrofl:whistle:
But on a more serious note:
You're absolutely correct! For the dedicated preservationist, the is no SUCH thing as "too rough".
We have the technology. We can rebuild it...
Now THAT's a campaign strategy.... nothing short of "kissing babies" while stomping the campaign trail!!!
Can't say that's playin' dirty. Just taking note.
Maybe I should take some pics with our dogs and cats on and around the 220KAK... You know, play the PET CARD!

This restoration is a work in progress.... Very, Very SLOW progress so far.
She's currently parked in our back yard in such a position that photos worthy of posting are nearly impossible to be had. We have not done much toward her restoration yet as she's...
Rory,
You impress me! Not only do you know BOTH the Queen's English and American English languages, but now you've proven to us that you're equally fluent in CANINE ! ! !
WOOF WOOF, BOW WOW ! ! !

But officer, it's in the back seat and not accessible to the driver. And besides that, I was just taking it to the war zone.
Did anyone else notice the yelping dog in the front passenger seat???
This is pretty cool.... and seems to have been scaled to fit the transport vehicle rather well, too!

Carry (your tank) on!
I guess you just have to get DOWN AND DIRTY when you're a VFR chopper pilot and suddenly find yourself in IFR conditions....

You just never know what's...
There's an old theory about IN BASKETS.....
The most recent items placed on top of the stack of old tasks in an IN-BASKET get worked first. With each new addition to the top of the stack, those items in the bottom of the stack languish for longer and longer periods as it is buried deeper and...
A SEARCH of the SS Forums for mention of the USS LING brought me here. Sadly I pass along that not only is the USS LING suffering sever deterioration, but she was also recently FLOODED by an organized act of vandalism......
Here's the article:
Hackensack submarine USS Ling apparently flooded...
Got the campaign ads produced and national coverage arranged!
Got 80,000 campaign YARD SIGNS made up and ready for distribution!(one for each SS Member's LZ)
Still have some glitches with the campaign's website, the obligatory Spam Mail Blitz, and those persistent HANGING CHADS, but maybe...
UPDATE:
Well, it's been about 3 weeks since I presented reasonably detailed proposal for gifting the K53 Box for the sake of historic preservation.
I can report GOOD news in that they have NOT rejected the idea.
However, they are "discussing" the idea between themselves. They have asked my...
LOL - Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. rofl
OK, OK.... I had been planning to toss the 220KAK into an upcoming POLL, but your persistence has paid off. You got me off my butt and now I've got to figure out a worthy campaign tragedy. Uh, I mean STRATEGY.
Glad we've...
DON'T DISTURB THE BEAR ! ! !
Here's my rare little treat to appease the cranky bear......
1960 vintage 220KAK 26' Box Van Trailer, manufactured by the KINGHAM TRAILER COMPANY, Louisville, Kentucky.
Rare, and ORIGINAL too.
