Got it. Ferro and I may show up a day early- he wants to work on the idle of the "Navy Jeep".

Yes there is a site with FULL hookups(water/elec/sewer). If they can get 40'+ RV's in there, you should be fine.

I don't know if current tractors have airbags on the front axle. Next time I see one I will look. The easiest way would be to adopt something already out there to the rockwell axles.

Just goes to show that stretch thinks outside the box. I kinda cringe at the lack of taillights. Hope you didn't tow it far.

The 2 meter simplex channel worked great, as long as it was mobile to mobile, or mobile to base antenna. I hadn't used my rig in 8 years, and it worked, even with a jury rigged power system, and 1/4 wave mag mount antenna. I am going to try and fix up the hardball convoy with 2m simplex, just...

Made it home about 1500, all safe and sound. Unpacked just enough of the truck to get the food, clothes, and personal gear. I will unpack the rest over the next week. I was the Hard Ball Convoy leader, and the convoy went well outbound. However, problems at the restaurant forced a long wait...

Last Post--- Gotta put the 'puter up, and walk out the door...... SEE YA AT THE RALLY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well get on a plane, and join the fun. I can promise you two things- You won't go hungry, and we will find a place for you to lay your head. Now mind you, it may be under my M814, but you will be snug as a bug in a rug............

Looks like a 1400 departure from the home aol. I should miss most of the heavy weather. I should make DT about 1600-1630.

Ya, that's the problem. They bomb out of the bottom, so I don't touch the things. Looks like I am gonna pull up and depart late from home. I have been watching the line of bad weather come all the way across from Texas, from yesterday, though last night, and it looks like if I leave at noon...

I should be at DT by 1500. I plan on leaving home no later than 1200. If I can get the food and clothes packed sooner, then I will be there sooner.

Speddmon, can you bring your megger to check my two coils out? Thanks.

After going to the Findley show in 2014, I decided to make it a yearly trip, just like Haspin, Graves Mtn and the Ga rally. I even ponied up for a spot under the shed, so others that have have a little bit of stuff can sell it there, along with me.

We can try that, but it is like herding cats. The problem seems to be that the trucks that are lined up, block the trucks that are trying to get to the rear of the line. Plus turning the trucks back in the woods by the track is tough, if the civi folks are racing back there. Two years ago, we...

Once we get going, out on the road, 3-5 minutes depending on number of trucks. We seem to avg about 50 vehicles, so figure 10-15 trucks per minute by a fixed point.

Yes!

I am in need of videographers/photographers for the hard ball convoy. I already have the spots picked out, and Friday afternoon, I will take everyone out on the route to show them the spots. I have 4 spots that I really want covered, 2 outbound and 2 inbound. The convoy will go the same way...

I am one step closer to getting my list done for the Ga rally. Installed the 900 series tank on the M814 today, with new fuel line. All that is left is to bend the final connection(ran out of time today), and transfer the 40 gallons of fuel from the old tank to the new.Still have to buy the...

I have to change a fuel tank on the "Long Easy", repack the bearings on the XM105, and pack.............

This just in. On Oct 8th, there will be a lunar eclipse. This is where the moon passes thru the earth's shadow, and will turn blood red. Looks like the big field at Durham Town will be an excellent site to view this wonder of nature. I will also keep up with the ISS, and see if there will be...
