Next batch of photos The 14 vehicle police-escorted convoy on a wet Sat. morning (I'm the 13th and Barrman's M715 is behind me). A few from the ranch trails run stomping down the Bluebonnet flowers :twisted: Don't worry, we left plenty of Bluebonnets unmolested :wink:

Here are my photos, but I think I missed a couple trucks.

Glad you made it home. Just curious if your Deuce would crank after you shut it off? I got home at 1900 hrs. 827 miles total for the weekend, used 51.5 gallons. Had fun, and will load photos and videos (if I can figure it out) later.

I forgot about those rings, but yes still need them, thanks.

I went to load up my firewood to find that termites and rot had eaten it all up. :cry: Hope someone else can bring some.

Well that sucks, but you don't need to be out in the chilly rain with a respiratory issue.

The weather forecast has pushed back the rain from Fri, and dropped the chances from 90% to 60% on Sat, but you know how accurate that is. I'll load some firewood in the M101 trailer hoping we'll have a dry fire at least on Fri. Getting really antsy to hit the road!

A dark beer today in my (non-running) wrecker remembering our campfire talks with Ron. RIP

Someone near me is looking for a S250 shelter, or a M101 trailer bows and cover. I'm not bringing any of the items listed below unless someone commits to purchase, but I have: M939 series hood w/fenders, M939 used hard tops some wrecker sand anchors, wrecker acetylene and O2 bottles...

Still down, working on it today.

Can only attend in sprit. I'll hoist one with you at 1400hrs ET.

If it's running well, I call it "my truck" or "my (model number)". If it won't start or is giving me problems, the names I call it are not printable in this family forum.

I'm coming again, too! Probably with my USAF flight line van (from Lackland/Kelly AFB in San Antonio) and a M101 or M1101 trailer.

Sitting here stunned at how life can change so quickly. Prayers for his wife and family. I'll miss listening to him around the campfire, and the GA Rally will never be the same with him gone.

Just to add a data point here, The Chevrolet Strata Blue paint code was 39U (PRIMARY COLOR, EXTERIOR, DK ADRIATIC BLUE MET (94)) in 2001 as found on the RPO code label.

That sounds more like natural gas condensate which is usually much lighter than regular crude, and is more like kerosene than diesel. Of course, the composition varies widely, just like different crudes, and I've seen some that was water clear and would melt a Styrofoam cup, and some black as...

Yes, the Heavy Duty CUCVs noted by the HD in the VIN were on the 1028 chassis. The Duallys, Shelter Carriers and Contact Maint trucks started as 1028 chassis trucks

Unless you got a letter rescinding your registration last year, it is still valid. The test will come when someone tries the $25 title transfer to another LA resident.
