Someone mentioned to me that we have a surplus yard or three in Georgia what the owners don't do the internet. Anyone know where they're at?

RE: Re: RE: Surplus Yards in Ga?

Ryan, if you happen to go there and have some spare time, please take a look at the 5KW 24VDC diesel generators. I would like to buy a couple, but had no time to check any of them over to see if they run. Mr. Shirley said they all work, but it looks like mud dauber mud in the fuel inlet or something, looking at the pics, so I am not sure when he last did check them. I may have to drive there (by pickup truck from Texas!) myself to explore them, I don't want to risk receiving costly items by costly freight if it is broken.

Ok, James Shirley isn't there this saturday. They're closed because he'll be out of town. We'll have to move the group visit to next saturday.

Sat Dec 9th vs Sat Dec 2nd. I might still go down on friday just to get a preliminary reconnaissance. If I see good stuff then I'll still want to go down on the 9th for a reconnaissance in force.

If someone is going down there check on that M35 with trailer i.e. price, moving condition. Also check on any other deuces for me if you would be so kind. Thanks a whole bunch! I can't exactly go down there unless I found a sure hit cause I live in Missouri.

Is there going to be a group trip to Shirleys. If so I can meet ya'll there. As a side trip there is a M4E8 Sherman and 3 inch gun located at a VFW about 4 miles from Shirleys.

If Mr. Shirley is around he will probably take you out to his house which has a whole bunch of stuff.

By the way he sends trucks to Vietnam to have dump conversions done. Some how he says it cheaper.

There's an Easy 8 at Fort Jackson that I can photo when I go by to get some pictures of the half track for someone else. What shots would be good? Can't get inside, the MP's don't like that.

Any easy-8 pics are good. I just like seeing how they are displayed and how they are holding up!

I would estimate that there are approximately 120-150 MV's at CSI, Inc. They are approximately 30 mins from where I live. His prices are quite out there (9500.00 for a prepped deuce similar to alfaheaven.com).
