Hello Team, we have been asked to provide some color for a fundraiser for the old outdoor pool in Centralia, WA on 20 June from 1200 to 1500. I think we should be getting in place about 1000. It is at 500 N. Pearl in Centralia, 98531. This pool was built in 1950 as a War Memorial to WW2 and is...

No special theme and this is an open event, but it is the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2, so we hope to give that emphasis. Please let me know if you are attending for food planning purposes. We have been the signature chauffeurs for the Rosie the Riveters the last few years and I expect a...

I have used the Gillespie paint to do some touch up on the tan Cargo cover. Misted it in with a few coats to cover up some rust spots that would not come out. While working in an upholstery shop in my youth, we used a paint that was specifically formulated for painting and changing the color...

Sed6, I got the same results with a polish from the autoparts store, used to remove scuffs from ones paint job. It took a few minutes per lens, using the polish and a soft cotton rag. Mine were so bad I didn't figure that I could hurt them and I have had a couple of questions from people on...

Added color for two Memorial services this weekend. Saturday at Ocean Shores, WA and today at Mountain View Cemetery in Lakewood, outside JBLM. Also found out this weekend that my truck, the tan one, did desert duty in Iraq in 2003. Met a SFC from the unit and he clued me in on some of the...

Tomorrow some of us are headed to Ocean Shores to help out with a VFW Memorial Day service. Any one want to tag along. So far we have 4 vehicles. We will be meeting at the Rusty Tractor in Elma, WA at 0800 for breakfast, maybe a little sooner if we drive fast, and then head down. The...

Mission accomplished. Situation normal at the gate, but everyone somehow made it in. There are a few pictures posted on the MV spotted thread. Thanks to those that were able to turn out. We had a really nice WW2 display in honor of the 70th anniversary.

Here are some preliminaries for tomorrow. Hope you like the pics. This is at JBLM.

Security might be an issue this year. They are asking for weapons and serial numbers. Have not heard back from them on the list I sent to see if they made the security cut. Usually they send out vehicle passes and I have not received them yet. Not sure what is going to happen. I told the...

Anyone interested in adding some color to Memorial Day weekend at Mountain View Cemetery in Lakewood. A man called from the outfit and asked if I knew anyone. This would be maybe for the whole weekend and maybe for their Memorial Day service. If I can get away from work tomorrow for a bit, I...

Condolences to the family. You were both a great addition to the Napavine campouts. We are diminished.

Looks like it is time for a bit of field up armor on the doors. :)

Come along. Keep an eye on this thread as it gets closer for any last minute changes, but we have been doing it for 12 or 15 years, so the schedule is pretty well set. P

Is anyone interested in attending AFD JBLM as an exhibitor this year? I got the paperwork packet and need to get it in in the next couple of days. They supposedly send it out a month ago and I did not receive it. Anyway PM me if you are interested. I will need your Name, DOB, and DL number...

That is a piece of machinist art. Way to go team.

through the middle of the body, middle of door to middle of door. There was a man in Tacoma that was an excellent fabricator and I remember when I was a kid, people bringing him M151's and he would jig them up and weld them back together. Don't know if this is one of his jobs, but whomever did...

after some careful cleaning on the front bumper, the bumper is marked 81st BDE HQ 120 This vehicle was one of the ones that were cut in half, but someone did a nice job gluing it back together. it looks like it was always painted Woodland camo before a previous owner went over it with what...

It has some dings, but it goes and stops. Tires are shot, but I have another set hid out just for this contingency. We will have to have a debate on what is going to happen with this one. It has newer post Vietnam modifications, so the dilemma, to leave it as found or do other stuff to it...

This followed me home this weekend. Told the wife that I didn't know where it came from.

Nice event. Thank you for the invite. Pictures will come but not tonight. It was nice to have an event where there was some time to talk. P
