    2014 Va Rally at Graves Mountain Aug 29-Sept 1, 2014 (aka, Labor Day Weekend).

    Good point, My math was off anyway since I have to give 6 months for our lovely state to process the paperwork and it is already the end of April we are looking at 11/1. hat is good in a way since it means I will only have 6 months before I can tap social security.

    2014 Va Rally at Graves Mountain Aug 29-Sept 1, 2014 (aka, Labor Day Weekend).

    And when did I ever chase you and your cigars away? Believe me, there is no better entertainment in the world than watching you cook breakfast on a defective butane stove. Explains why you have no hair.rofl

    2014 Va Rally at Graves Mountain Aug 29-Sept 1, 2014 (aka, Labor Day Weekend).

    May be a little tougher this year. They have transferred me again and this time they are going out of their way to make my job a living ****. They want me to quit but I am going to retire which means I have to stay at least six months for the paperwork to go through. My biggest problem is that I...

    Official 2015 Military Transport Association of NJ Show & Swap Meet 4/18-19

    I feel your pain, Had the same thing happen to me at Aberdeen a few years back except that it was club members that chased me out of my vendor spot and then where I went there were drunk military members doing drill all night! I hate to say it but I think camping at any of these shows anymore is...

    Official 2015 Military Transport Association of NJ Show & Swap Meet 4/18-19

    I have a question about the camping, I am partially disabled and cannot walk long distances. I was looking at a Google earth shot of the fairgrounds and I do not see anything that even closely resembles a campground or a camping area with hookups. Where is the camping and how far is it from the...

    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    Aberdeen, 90 miles. Findlay, 575 miles. Just can't justify it. Next year it will probably be Sussex in the spring and Gilbert in the fall. I already paid for this year at Aberdeen since I wanted to be sure I got the same spots as last year with Cabel and his crowd.

    New guy with MEP-002A questions

    I would be interested to see how ell balanced the load is with that setup. I would not think it would be very balanced at all. Most houses only have one panel so that eliminates them from the three phase arena.

    New guy with MEP-002A questions

    15 KW and larger military generator are three phase. Unless you are set up for that at home, and most are not, then they would not do you much good. I have seen write ups where the 15KW was converted to single phase and still put out 12 KW but it was a lot of work and not for the non electrician...

    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    I know for a fact that quite a few of the people in charge of that affair belong to Steel Soldiers and have to be seeing these posts. I know a couple have defected and are even going to Findley! I think a big part of the problem is finding another venue that will accept large vehicles tearing up...

    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    Hawkman, you will have a little company, I will be at Aberdeen. Findley is too far for me also. I know some of the North Carolina crowd are coming up also. I will be retired next year so I will have more time to get there but less money so who knows. I certainly will not be able to afford...

    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    Post #314, Carnac said it best when he pointed out that there are just too many people on this site in the know, literally. They work for the government, they work on the bases and for the previous auction company. They KNOW how the system works and to say you have a "Source" that has and inside...

    That is not a contradiction, it is a "GOTCHA".

    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    Well, Now they know where to go looking.rofl I was always under the impression that if it was ballistic armor than it was a demill item but if it was just heavy steel plate cut to fit then it was ok. I am thinking that the old heavy steel plate stuff went out with the gun trucks of Vietnam. In...

    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    Well now, That graph is downright impressive! According to thos figures I would guess the profit did not even pay for the advertising. I don't think IP has done such a good job in the civvie market by making bad decisions like that.
