    1 Weekend and 17 rattle cans...

    78 cans for a 5-ton. I went with a 4 color pattern. Al Wally-world. I actually have a picture around somewhere where I took all the empty cans and lined them up on the bed, both on top and on the lower edge. They went the full length and then some. Pretty neat photo. I'll have to find it...

    Movie alert

    Since I am too stupid to know how to cut and paste here, there is a website gfor trailers for this movie. I think it is just the HBO site. I promise you will need Kleenex just to watch the trailer. This story need to be told. Kevin Bacon does an unreal job.

    Ok, without be a smart-azz....forget the Pacer. I don't think a Mighty-Mite weighs much more than a couple of snowmobiles. You can find a three or four place snowmobile trailer for next to nothing. A single axle, once you figured out tongue weight, would probably work for a short occasional...

    Ham radios and this hobby, any military radios work for that?

    I started out with a couple of MV'S, one with an RT524 and a R442. I aqquired a few more rigs, then I happened across my Gama Goat. I restored it to its original configuration, a NON-S250 shelter communications model (about 6 transmitters, 3 receivers, teletype, field phone, etc) . It has...

    Fun with magnetics

    Technically, I read where the person that invented the term " politically correct, or 'PC", was Mao Tse Tung. That says more than it says.
