    Not upcoming any longer - Camden Rev War Re-burial ceremony.

    Here is a picture of the supplies shelving in the Shop Van after loading the food and other dry goods. One of the refrigerators (former elementary school milk cooler) in the background.

    Not upcoming any longer - Camden Rev War Re-burial ceremony.

    We got back to the compound around 1 pm Sunday, and I then had three round trips to my house (38 miles each) to bring home the excess food and other perishables, then prepare the house for my pickup of my puppy (a 100 pound Rottweiler) on Monday morning. He has wanted to play in the backyard...

    Not upcoming any longer - Camden Rev War Re-burial ceremony.

    And some more. I was cooking while the ceremony at the battlefield took place, so no pictures from there.

    Not upcoming any longer - Camden Rev War Re-burial ceremony.

    https://www.historiccamden.org/2023/03/21/camden-burials-friday/ In the diagram near the bottom, on the right hand side of the diagram where it says "Caisson Camp" is where I had my MKT setup. I was there to feed the Caisson folks, the HMMWV drivers, and their support people. My kitchen help...

    Pretty sure I got (not) scammed by a eBay seller from Japan selling radios

    And shipping within the US is sometimes sketchy! Even with the 'big carriers'. If you have a tracking number, you should be fine!

    M1088 camper conversion

    If you parked slightly east of north on your driveway and could lift up the west side of the panels in the morning gradually lowering them as the sun came up, then slowly raising the east side as the sun passed 'directly overhead', you would get near maximal charging. It's the same idea as the...

    M1088 camper conversion

    NO except for one day in the year. The panels should face 11.5 degrees west of south, and the height should be equal to the latitude. Because the earth is tilted at 23 degrees in it's rotation relative to the sun, the most even sunlight over the course of a full year is to have your target (in...

    M1088 camper conversion

    How are you going to get the panels at the correct angle (whatever your latitude is when you stop) for maximum power flow? Assuming you will be able to park perpindicular to 11.5 degrees east of north and the panels will face southerly.

    Camden Rev War Burial Ceremony

    The Military Vehicle Collectors of South Carolina HMMWVs will be driving the remains of 14 individuals who died in the Battle Of Camden (1780) from Columbia to the Battlefield where they will be given a proper burial. The 'Last Mile' will be on horse drawn caissons furnished by Rev War...

    The danger of modifying trailers

    Lowest place to 'dive' from is about 75 feet above the water on one of those rigs, and, there is no ladder to climb back up! You first!

    Hope all is well Dutchess County New York

    Another way to do it is to take the military registration number (which has letters and numbers in it), the four digit military type and the five digit serial number. Then pad with zeros in front of the military type as needed. Clerks are used to having letters in the VIN and it will be 17...

    Official DENTON NC 2023 April 21-23

    If the organizers are to be believed, there should be a National Geographic video of the event. I've been told the Old Guard is sending a band detachment. The whole thing is somewhat convoluted. The County Coroner has the remains now, in coffins. They will be transported via MVCSC HMMWV's...

    Official DENTON NC 2023 April 21-23

    I'm scheduled to be with Adam at Camden for the re-internment ceremony, along with my MKT's, cooking for a select group of re-enactors who will be doing the caisson carry of the coffins to their final resting place. I'll be supported by Adam and the rest of the local MV club.

    My wife is going to kill me... :D

    I hear a "Been there, done that" story potentially coming! (Or not if he is wise. Leave no evidence to be found.)

    Powering multiple radios

    Yours is set up acording to the military specifications for the 524/442 combination! Good for you!

    Powering multiple radios

    In your third picture, one the extreme left hand side there is a plug that is horizontal (going forward). The correct radio plugs in there. Remember, when using radios, only talk (transmit) on one at a time. Many radio setups had a transmitter-receiver radio for use in talking, and a separate...
