I think that I will just start calling her with the event and route schedules in the future...that way, you can stop worrying and can just show up... :) I'll remind her about the GML MV Trailrides and Rally (the VA Labor Day weekend event) while at Haspin... See you Tuesday night late at the...

I haven't unloaded the truck from Aberdeen, so all the stuff that I didn't sell there will be available... I'll dig up my list and will have it with me so that we won't have to open every medical chest to find something... The list is over on the Aberdeen thread... The big thing that I am...

Aren't you glad that a little birdie told you that it was up for sale... :) Glad that you got it and that it is in better shape than you expected. That M915A1 looks a lot better with something on the fifth wheel.

Don't bring your AARP card on my account... I'll be making my final food prep and purchase on Monday evening, so there is still time to make up your mind if you are on the fence. I'm working at my Godparent's bluegrass festival and only have limited access to the net (middle of the night) and...

I suspect that I will cook the shrimp seperately, not exactly the same tast, but I don't think it will make a huge difference, and it will be easier than jugling the pot/timing to pull some out and then do the shimp the big pot. Westy's wife has voluntered to do some of her WI style mashed...

Forgot to say that, just as last year, I'll need a bunch of folks to opt in on this or it doesn't make sense for me to haul out the gear and cook.... I also need a rough body count by May 31st so I can place some food orders.

What I came up with a few moments ago before I looked here and saw that Stretch had been busy: Wednesday Supper – Spaghetti with sauce(s), salad, garlic bread Thursday Breakfast – Eggs, bacon, grits Lunch –Hot dogs, chips Supper – Chicken and Rice (w/celery, onions, carrots). Friday...

I have an inventory list (with prices) of stuff that I will have at my vendor spot (Yellow U5/T9)... Let's see if I can get it to attach itself... PS: My location is also where you pick up your East Coast Convoy shirt and where we will be having the Convoy supper on Friday as well...

Got to say that I have not driven a duece with any of these tires on it in a singled out configuration. I have driven a M109 with the Firestone copy of the Michelin XZL tread on it in a 1100r20 dualed up and it road very well (after the tires got aired down to something reasonable, the...

Actually, the bow corners used on the M37 and the M101 series are different, but you can interchange them, just be aware that the hardware (straps and clips) used to retain the side curtains when you roll up the cargo cover sides on the M37 are different as a result (not a problem, just be aware...

Shame that you are not holding this one week later... I'll be in Haspin this weekend... Of course, by the time I drive out there and back, my but will be a tad sore... Have fun, that route is a great one with a lot of photo ops.

The "roll of paper towels" makes me think of my coalescing element air dryers that I have in my shop air system... When they get wet, I pull one set and set them in the sun (or oven) to dry and then reuse them. They look like rolls of brown paper towels... Of course, a canister with lines...

Yep, it is the NDT. Remember, I have several pages of tire and rim data for M37's on my website... :) Tires

I talked to the folks at LeTourneau a couple years ago when they had a pair of historians working on an official history of the company about this, and again when a different historian wanted to do a book just on this vehicle. In both cases, they wanted permission to use the photos on my site...

A buddy of mine who was in AK during the fifties while in the Army sent me a bunch of photos that he took, including some of the Texas gocart built by R G LeTourneau Longview, Texas. The LeTourneau College website states that the power unit for the overland train was seen in a salvage yard...

The MKT is hitched to the XM813... Most of my personal gear is ready to toss into the truck... As long as Neil has a smooth trip down in the morning, I'm set (he made the run to the commisary for the grub...). A frosty one will be raised in honor of those not in attendance. Best wishes to...

I plan to arrive with the XM813 with the MKT in tow mid-morning on Friday...

I haven't really started to make up my list of stuff that I am bringing (it will be long, as I have plenty of stuff that no longer fits anything in my yard that I need to get gone...), but: M101A2 landing leg with surge brake MC M416 tub M100 frame '52M38 (possible, runs, needs floorboard...

Ferro, and others, I'm in Yellow T8,T9, U4,U5 (same spots as in the previous years). A lot of Steelsoldiers are in the rows near me: BKubu, AMGeneral, Scrounger, Jeff from Tactical Truck, etc. (actually a bunch more, but I forget the screen names...). The convoy BBQ is at my space on Friday...

It takes "forever" to prime using the dash pump... I fill the filter before I put it on, and it still takes a bit of effort. If you have a handy source of compressed air, pressurize the tank (gently) by removing the vent line and using its fitting (just push the tip of your blowgun onto it)...
