Attitudes like this are exactly why I've never accepted invitations to bring my Mil vehicles to car and truck shows. I have little patience with folks that have their noses so far in the air that would drown if it rained.
As for "Playing Army truck" it can be seen by my Avatar that I've been...
Donna and I will probably be there with the Beast and Blazer.
There may be some other folks with their vehicles as well that told me about this event while at Paine Field this past weekend.
We may have to leave a little early to attend a benefit auction in Fife for a friend injured in an auto...
Finally, a free moment to express our gratitude for everything Aaron and Amber did to make the weekend a smashing success!
We had a great time and enjoyed meeeting everybody!
Would have liked to go stump jumpin' with the Blazer but had to get home for other matters.
Am looking forward to...
Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen an address for Aarons place. All I did see was 2 mi west of Napavine on Hwy 603. Will there be signs? An MP waving us in? Dancing girls pointing the way? Maybe a searchlight lighting the way after dark?
We plan on coming in Fri evening with the Beast and...
nhdiesel; Not to worry. Eventually there'll be a 3 plug power outlet under the dash, and one in the back for the air mattress pump. Before leaving, I bought 2 aviation headsets and a 9v powered intercom to use as hearing protection and so we wouldn't have to yell to be heard. Good idea in...
In all "modesty" I am a great guy (just ask my dog) and I do have some crazy friends and relatives. :lol:
Actually, three people wanted to go, but 2 couldn't get time off from work on short notice.
54 mph was as fast as it would go, though military speedometers aren't exactly the most accurate...
On April 27th, I bought an M814 (same as an M813 but with a 20 ft bed) and M105a2 trailer on an ebay listing from a fella in Ohio near Columbus.
Because of work, I wasn't able to get it, and it had to be picked up by May 26th, as Dan, the seller, was moving to Virginia, and the vehicles needed...
Era? Which era? We've had vehicles of all sizes ranging from WW 2 to current service CUCVs at Ft Worden at previous events. It's all about history and having a great time.
30 vehicles is a rather large road march without support from local law enforcement, which isn't likely to happen.
I'd...
You can join both groups. We have a number of members that are in both the Westside and Puget Sound clubs.
Oh yeah, there'll be some of us PSMVCC members at Ft Worden, though I don't know how many at this time.
I'm hoping to be at Ft Worden on 6/12-13, the Olympia Air Show 6/18-20...
As it stands now, and all things are subject to change according to Pvt Murphy, Donna and I are planning on being at the "festivities" in July. (Don't tell anybody, but Saturday the 17th is her Birthday, the big 55.) We'll be bring the CUCV Blazer with beacon and something BIG if I can get to...
Many thanks to Dan and Scott for putting this together. The sodas and munchables were a welcome touch.
Donna and I had a great time meeting and talking with everybody. We were definitely in great company. We're looking forward to the July convoy and meeting yet more folks.
