Recovery of Redbeard

Recovery of Redbeard the duece from Ted's private stock this recovery started out friday as Pops and i pulled out round 4pm headed for Teds good ride up no prob's till we got to Michigan and as being a long time since out on the road my gosh the room rates have soared what use to cost 45.00 now cost 95.00 then after looking around we found the old motel rates and all was well bed was really quite nice then when got up today found out that there was no hot water guess that was the reason for the price break. Anywho met Ted for breakfast if you havent met Ted its your loss very nice person to deal with was a great pleasure to deal with him very knowlegable and then theres Redbeard my new duece pour old feller Ted drags him out from his hiding place between the barn and shop and loads him just like some other people we all no only he missed the radiator and brake lines and the rock gaurds never even got the drag link had the pour ole feller loaded in minutes boomed and ready to rock and roll . Ted it was a pleaseure and you have some awesome humvee's a very nice collection of duece's an 813 and Ted the Uny is very unique that would be the koolest farm toy ever. the trip back found us in rain for a few miles the nice sunny day but windy as all get out . as always loads of lookers and stories that the best thing about moving any of these ole trucks is the stories you get to hear from everyone that stops to look it gives ya a warm feeling hearing the stories some are good and some bring a tear or two . all in all we made it in safe and sound and never had a seconds trouble out of the blue oval still stokin and not c----n. hahahaha
