You flake out every time, even when you show up! :) Be good to see you at the RC rally again...

Only about 10 days to go! Everyone ready?

I'd like late October. November is too late, the nights in PA in November are cold. Brisk is nice, freezing is not, at least for camping. Plus, I'd prefer late Oct., because mid October is the GA rally, and I told those guys I'd be there for that as well. If it falls on the same weekend, I...

atankersdad owns one in Maryland. I don't know if it's for sale, but it never hurts to ask. Money talks, to most people.

Floating command center? Is that what you call it when you put a radio and a flare gun on a watertight Gama Goat?

I work on this boat sometimes. Does this count?

My boom gets swingin', whether it's for younger hookers, or older ones.

John, thanks, I appreciate it! I don't think solar would work as the primary mode of power. The primary reason is I don't like the idea of solar panels mounted on the roof, facing up, I live in the woods and dropping branches and other debris during T-storms would trash them quickly. I might...

Real old school was to take kerosene and brush it all over the truck. Worked well when trucks were painted 24087 semi-gloss. Here's a pic of the Army doing it sometime in the 1960s. I doubt you'd want to do this, though. Kerosene ain't cheap anymore.

What are your plans for the old M109A3 once the box is removed?

SrJeeper says he's going to have his display with the yellow-nosed deuce and his trailer with S-250, some odds and ends. Just have to take a year off of doing the display, it will be back next year.

I'll be bringing a bunch of small stuff, military manuals, tools. I'm hoping I can get to Colemans on the way there, to save some stuff and offer it for sale to others at the show. The Dawg House will not be on display this year. Had to take a year off from service in South Vietnam.

Yeah, not in that one either. If I'm wrong and there's a truck at all in that pic, I must need to get my eyes examined....

I don't see any M715 in the first pic, I'm trying but I can't see one in the picture at all.

I'm sure I can come up with a cage-like enclosure for the genset, which will allow air to cool the genset while still preventing anyone without a torch from stealing it. It's all steel and TIG welding, but it's doable.

The contact maintenance trucks aren't as rare as hen's teeth - but they are more uncommon than most MVs. Being what they were, many of the maintenance bodies, after surplus, were transplanted onto civvy trucks for work trucks, etc., and over the years they have gotten scrapped. Few good ones...

If you have to have new ones made, make them out of oak or locust. Oak is expensive, and locust you'll have to get at a local sawmill not a store, but either will last forever.

Didn't say he couldn't, it's his truck, if he wants to drive a dorkmobile, let him drive a dorkmobile.

Dorkmobile.

You're excused, Dudley, but next month you have to show up in one of the toys you work with!
