I wish I could get hold of the local member that has one. I know since I had it here at the farm until he picked it up. It had the generator/turbine start setup on it. We never tried to start but it has a lot of cool factor.
I feel bad for the family of the 89-yo.
My wife and I rode out Ian in Myrtle Beach. It hit south of us but all the water and winds hit where we were. Took out the power to two condo building and one of them we were in. Power was out overnight and I had no power for my stroke prevention...
It hit north of Georgetown but we were in Myrtle. We had 64mph sustained and gusts to 94mph and this being my first I had to go stand on the balcony and no that isn't how I got hurt. But a dumb ace move all the same.
After sustaining a mild shoulder injury due to the hurricane my wife and I rode out last Friday I won't be able to make it this year. I'm upset but I can cross riding out a Cat 1 off my bucket list.
I go through a big bucket of TomCat rat/mouse bait every winter inside the barn. Sweep the mice up in the spring.

M813s must be a...

Had a little cab rot by bottom/front both doors.
It ran and had been stored for the last 14 years.
Awesome looking restoration.
My Brother was an M60 driver stationed at Ft Knox and he took me and my other Brother out to range when a group was in for night fire training. It was pretty memorable to watch a row of them firing and seeing them hit the targets.
On the way back out we went by a...
And what you said about foreigners was true for me as well. You couldn't swing a dead rock hound without hitting one. I also noticed they had no respect for the signs telling what not to do to keep from destroying the area.
I rented a Toyota Camry in Vegas and drove over. Went to Dante's Peak, the Borax Tailings Rd, Devil's Golf Course and to Bad Water Basin. I took enough water for one person for about 3-7 days and food. All for a daytrip. I had driven to Pahrump and spent the night and hit it first thing in...
