    Pics of Trip to Jack's Gov Surplus

    Wow I have driven right by that place since as you say it is on Dexter. I was probably too busy checking out the mothballed planes. That part of the country is the perfect place to have a junkyard as things really don't rust out there they just bleach.

    question about dropping oil pressure

    THE Aberdeen photo/video thread

    The shelter is ziggyo's. It is real nice, and they have a quiet generator to power it all. I should have asked to see the inside as I am looking to buy one of these in the next few months, and am looking for ideas.

    2008 East Coast Convoy

    RE: Re: RE: 2008 East Coast Convoy Not really a convoy concern, but I am wondering about location in the parking lot if at the stadium again next year. Being by the edge of the parking lot I am sure has some advantages, but was it just me or was everyone broke by the time they visited us?
