Got this email from Bradley Ingles today. We have done this 3 years running, but I cannot make it this year - work commitment. Contact Bradley if interested. Just a friendly reminder that the SALUTE TO VETERANS celebration at the Hickory Crawdads is Friday, May 27th. Gates open at...

Neil, Just to let you know, I'm taking the Deuce with my ammo trailer and Stephen's going to follow in my dually with the M37 and a M101 on my long civy trailer. Pretty sure they both will fit; at least the tape measure says so, and it's a whole lot easier to load the civy trailer.

Sorry to hear about the truck, Brandon.

Not sure about Brandon. When I saw him Monday, we discussed this, and he said he could get home earlyish that Wednesday, but I don't know what time he meant. I'll see him sometime before then. Maybe he'll chime in and let us know for sure. I'm 5 minutes from him, one exit earlier (#107)...

Yes, Neil, Wednesday afternoon would be fine. If you want, you can wait at my place or Brandon's so we can convoy out there. I'll be home about 3ish that day. I have to warn you there are many steep hills on I-40 out this way. When I took the M37 to the car show I had to downshift many...

Originally the display was to end Saturday, then I was told Sunday, now they are closing the display about 2pm Monday after some school groups have visited the sight. Sorry for the changes, but I think keeping it open for school groups is a great idea. Too many of our younger generation do...

Neil, Their committee said YES to camping. They may put you to work with security. Brandon and I will head out there Wednesday after work. I think directions are on the first post. It's pretty easy to find. Get off at exit 81, go right about 2 miles, look for YMCA soccer field on...

Attended the Old Fort Car Show Saturday. Had a lot of interest in the trucks, especially when I loaded the M37 on the trailer. Should have seen the camera phones come out as I creeped up those ramps. A lot of Veterans came by and talked. The trucks really stirred the memories.

This salute to Vets is 10 days away. I spoke with the organizers yesterday and they would like any static displays set up on Wednesday, May 12 and it runs through Sunday, May 16. I plan to run the Deuce out Wednesday after work and leave it, and have one of my sons bring me home, so anyone...

I have some miscellaneous 101 rails parts you can have - just pay shipping. Let me see what I've got, then I'll check on shipping. It's dark here so I'll check tomorrow.

I've got good fiberglass side rails and metal bows as well as the castle nut, but I'm 6 hrs away. Do you need a cargo cover? What color will your trailer be?

Took my youngest son and one of his friends to Macon to get 4 M101A1's that GL recently awarded me. All went well. The fork lift operator tried, but we could not get all 4 trailers on my long trailer, so we stacked one. Worked fine. All 4 have sides, bows, and covers, good tires, and are...

Neil, I understand. A good 3, maybe 4 hours - in a Deuce. Not sure about Uhwarrie. That's Easter weekend. Brandon is talking about coming down Friday night and leave Saturday. I'm thinking about putting the M37 on a trailer and show up just for Saturday. We'll see. Brian

Spoke with Dan Toney about this show last night. They have a local festival at the same time so we should have a good crowd. The actual car show is held on Commerce Street with plenty of parking so we should be able to pull straight in, turn around in one of the parking lots, and then out...

PICS of Vietnam Wall Memorial - Marion, NC Spoke last night with Dan Toney, who is on the committee to bring the Moving Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to Marion, NC, May 11-14, 2011. Click link below, then click calendars, then "map" for location. The actual site is the YMCA Soccer field. Take...

This is a great question. My M37 is a Marine Corp version and my M37 would look mighty fine pulling the Ammo Trailer in a parade.

Have to look at the calendar, but sounds good. What time do things start Saturday morning if I don't make it Friday night? What time does it shut down Sunday? Never done one of these. Give me a bunch of details: uniforms? meals? I don't have much gear. I can probably bring the M37 and...
