T minus 10 hours or so and counting. There is still room for more vehicles or folks if you want to come out and talk about green and tan machines. Looks like up to 5 - 5 tons, half a dozen WW2 jeeps, M715, and maybe a deuce. See you in the morning. P

Joe, Dianna, and Mac, glad to have you along. See you Friday morning. Been working on rigs and while inspecting and cleaning the M1102 trailer, noticed the protective sheath on the cable seemed to be sliding down. It appears that it split where it goes into the coupling and all the pins came...

Sorry, looks like I had a senior moment on this one. Put it on your calendar for next year, they have been doing it for about 75 years. Would have sworn I put something in about it. Did you see the note for the 4th of July in Centralia? Found Skilkraft, Patagonia, Akwatek, King Louie, Fruit...

Will there be made in USA T-shirts this year? Are you going to bring a truck to Winlock in the morning? I am meeting at Larry's on Military road at 0830 then down to the community breakfast, and parade at 1100. Come on team, get the lube going in those rigs. P

Carlo, you are right. I stayed in Gite in Graignes. Right across the street is the remains of the church and monument dedicated to 50 paratroops of the 507th, 1 - RAAF, 30 townspeople that were killed by the Germans. The local priest was helping retrieve weapons and ammo to keep the troopers...

Anyone coming out for the 4th? Through our military history group, have about 8 vehicles so far. There is also a parade in Winlock on Saturday June 28. I got a reservation, so far only 3 vehicles. There is a parade in Oakville, WA on July 5 if anyone would be interested. I might go if...

The trick when you go to an event such as this, is figure out where everyone is going and go some place else. I did several of the smaller memorial services. At the Hemevez service, there was a contingent of US troops, German troops, and music from both Americans and Germans. 10 years ago...

How are your fuel lines? There are a couple of small ones, maybe a couple of inches on top of the tank, that if they have deteriorated, that will give you a problem. They are a bugger to get to and you may need a mirror and a good light to get to them. That solved the issue for me. And I too...

Started cleaning the tan cargo cover. Pulled it off and put it on a picnic table for a solid surface to scrub against. There were a lot of black rub marks and paint that had rubbed off top bows. Took hot soapy water and a green scrub pad and it didn't have much effect on the marks. Then went...

I-5 does sort of narrow the search to somewhere between Mexico and Canada. Am sure some in WA would try to help too.

Wanted to do Everett, but will have to settle for Omaha and Utah beaches. If anyone feels benevolent about giving a brother a ride, for any of the parades or events, will be staying in Graignes.

5/16 is the correct original size. Gunzy did some good work on this. I ended up at the local trucker supply store and went with the 3/8 that they had in stock. Took candle wax and waxed the holes in the tarp and the 3/8 worked like a champ. I just replaced the ones that were bad for about...

Local tractor supply helped out too. Be sure and put an attachment chain so you keep it, if for some reason it comes out of the hole. Had to do a bit of body work with the 4 pound hammer to the base plate on the leg on one trailer, because it would not clear the frame when rotated unless it...

Iski, hope you find the rest of the story on your father.

Carlo,sorry to hear of your trouble for this event. With the importance of this event I would have to side with the WW2 emphasis groups. Certainly they can not tell you what to drive around the area. With my group, most events are open to all eras of vehicles, but once in awhile we will have...

Look for red rocket on here. She has put about 50000 miles on her Ural in the last 3 or 4 years. she has also put a lot of maintenance and repair for a bike that is so new. it is a good look for someone doing a Russian impression.

Sorry am typing on european keyboard and it is a challenge.

Did an event at small village in Belgium last weekend. one French Hotchkiss jeep in attendance. it was in nice condition with 24 volt system. ticking the da
