    max1008 - I haven't been on SS in many months, having had other, more pressing issues, and smaller, louder, pieces of equipment and "fuel" to stock up on. Good luck on the claim! I still hate it that this stuff is going on - life would be a lot easier (and fairer!) for all, if everyone just...

    Cannibalized while waiting for EUC!

    I'm only 73, so I may not qualify for the same "back in the day" of which you speak! I was, in fact, made such an offer, when I picked my gensets up, several months ago. Told that the parts offered had not yet been photographed and prepared for auction, I agreed to take them, after my initial...

    That's not going to happen and, if it were to happen, most of us don't handle intimidation well. Govt. surplus items have been available at one place or another, for many years. They are a good thing for customers, and they are good for the govt. As with all govt. interactions, it is easier...

    I suppose some people see the GL compounds as their own, personal, free junkyards - or perhaps they believe themselves to be "entitled"! Then, there are those like Bill Clinton, who used to answer the question, "Why did you do that?", with, "Because I could!" Al

    You may be correct with your conclusion regarding the reasons behind thievery of parts at GL sites but, does it really matter! Whatever the reasons, the folks doing it are flat out WRONG! Life can't be worth much to those who can't, or won't, be straight up in dealing with the rest of us. You...

    John - Good to hear from you, and I hope all is well with you in W. Texas. I'll be in Ft. Worth, for a few days, starting Thursday, for a reunion of my old VN combat squadron - good times, great memories! Not close to San Angelo, but in the same state, anyway! The camaraderie shared by SS is...

    Just on the off-chance that ANYONE is still following this thread (after such a long period of inactivity), I will make perhaps one last post, to wrap things up! Sickness, travel, and other considerations have interfered with the maint. of the thread, and for my fault in that I apologize. I...

    ----------------------------------------------------- Jerry & Phil - This is getting interesting - weird, but interesting, at least to us! The big lesson in all this, as I see it, is the great value in this site since, in my case, it has brought together folks with similar interests, and...

    -------------------------------------- Phil - SMALL WORLD!! I know the BBQ place, and love the food there! Could have easily met you in Gloucester or Saluda, today - both within 25 min. of me - maybe next time! I just won a lot at Norfolk, today, so will be headed down there, myself, within...

    Cannibalized while waiting for EUC!

    ------------------------------------------------------- That certainly looks like the right policy, to me, and I think if we all pushed for it, it wouldn't take long to see it become GL policy, at least at all state-side locations! (hard to believe that CA is leading the way with such a GOOD...

    ------------------------------------------------------------------ AHA! Looks like you and I may have gone to the same school - hard knocks and dumbs--t experience! I really value your suggestions - enough that I'm trying to figure out how to entice you to journey the couple of hours down the...
