I tried tempting the rain Gods today, we really need the rain, All I got was a little drizzle.

TEXAS Those are the state flowers in the foreground, the Texas Bluebonnet. EDIT, of course I am biased but I think the Texas Bluebonnet is the prettiest flower in the world, much more complex than they first appear.;)

Today is absolutely the perfect day in S TX to run without doors!!!!

That is interesting, a couple weeks ago I was at an event where a Texas DPS officer gave a talk, he said they do not want you to inform them if you are carrying, he said they just assume everyone is carrying, he said if you inform then the officer has to follow up with an investigation to make...

IMHO "tooling" around town with an "armed" HMMWV is a bad idea, just my 2 cents worth.

Well it is Spring Break so it was a little cool with a chance of rain this morning on the beach. And then there was this guy, wish I got a pic of the driver, he matched that old good times van perfectly, grey hair half way down his back and Birkenstocks! When I first saw him he was standing...

I made a trip in the DuraVee to Texas Humvee's shop in Mico TX Friday to help with some electrical troubleshooting on a M1151A1. I decided as I hit the road at 3:45AM to take the scenic route up Hwy 181 instead of the boring ride up I37, I did think to myself that I would be taking a somewhat...

We have a front moving through today so I stuck the DuraVee back together (installing A/C) and went to town for lunch, a little 40 mile jog, forgot to take a pic, then I had a buddy ride me over the George West to pick up the scooter I bought for Pam, a 22 Honda Rebel 500 with only 400mi on the...

Beautiful!!! I have two 96/11s and two K31s (one sport/re barreled in 338 fed) all fine examples of Swiss engineering, one 96/11 is probably the only possession I still have after over 50 years

Port Aransas TX

Well today looked like the last day for a while that I could take the DuraVee to the beach, as usual I got a pre-dawn ride on the ferry and then breakfast at the best restaurant on the island, 4 eggs, 4 pancakes, steak, 2 sausage patties, two pieces of toast and a large tea in a to-go cup...

I took a 120 mile jog this morning to Karnes City and back to pick up a Craigs list purchase. I figured 50 deg would be a little uncomfortable in the DuraVee with no doors or back wall so I took the Detroit, seeing as it was veterans day and all. That decision turned out to be a good one as it...

I was fortunate to get to visit that wall when it was in S TX.

I looked back and GP has only sold 7 of them that I can find. The Amtech is pretty nice, that is what I have on the "Detroit" and are rather plentiful but as you said that ATTBAR is pretty sweet.

You have no idea, Harris county stripped the crud out of that truck, took EVERY electrical component and cut every wire doing it, took the front half shafts, all the steering gear components and the sway bar, seat belts, dog house, battery cables, passenger seat,, I mean everything they could...

You know it is funny, I guess,, EVERYONE told me getting a Heeler was a mistake, she'll tear everything up, too much energy bla bla bla. I only met two people with Heelers, one was Austin (beltfed on fleabay) and they loved them. In only 9mo she is by far the best dog I have ever had, lots of...

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: I am building the DuraVee into a low profile helmet top from this truck, I guess a man only needs one.

I'm sorry, I see what I said could be taken more than one way, I am selling the Detroit, I have taken that project as far as I wanted to. Diggy Dog is only about a year and a half old and Australian Cow Dogs (Red Heeler) can live for 20 years or so and she has been given a clean bill of health...

Now that it has cooled of enough that I could leave her in the truck without coming out to a crowd with pitch forks I took Diggy Dog to town in the Detroit, perhaps her last ride in the Detroit. Like the man said, "dogs love trucks"!!

Of course I had to go to the beach today, My first stop is the San Juan restaurant, I get there just as they open so I always get a good seat, an hour later and you are waiting for a table. They set this table up 4-5 times every morning to fill these little sauce containers for the to go...
