Ok so the day has finally come. I woke up this morning and had my income tax check already. I'm leaving in a hour to go pick up my first military truck and I can't wait. I'll post pictures when I get home. Going to be a long cold trip but it's going to be oh so worth it!!!!!

Bring some hearing protection and dress warm. You have about a 1/4 of a tank of fuel about 5 inches in the tank. Everything is ready to go.
