Two more weeks until the work weekend, any more interested in attending?

Just a side note - I have remembered seeing pics of your M920 moving locomotives several times over the past couple years. My question is: Do locomotives in the southwest need to be moved by truck that often? There are several museums in the Virginia/Maryland area I have been to and the...

Your CUCV is pretty hot. LOL

Here ya go. https://www.universaltire.com/truck-and-military/truck/750-16-sta-super-traxion.html

I've seen that dolly before have 7.00x16 NDT tires on them before, also same size but in a very aggressive offroad pattern.

Let's see...a good cigar lasts an hour or so. Three hours from where you are to Rausch Creek, that's four cigars! Three for the trip, and one to sell to me when you arrive! :) LOVE a good cigar!

Yup. Also, there is an office in DoD that is actively looking for anyone out there who has any stockpiles of old, surplus spare parts for F-14s, that are buying them up only to scrap them. I know one instance out west where one guy had 8-10 cockpit canopies, brand new in the crates, for the...

Sorry, wildchild, but noone wants to see your dad in skimpy clothing. LOL If noone has a spare chainsaw with them, I'll bring one along, I have a choice of Stihl 20, 25, or 36-inch saws available from the family farm, though I don't think we'll need the big boys for the trees up there...

Great dk8019! Glad to hear you can help out! If you have any questions about the event and times, parking, what to bring/wear, etc. Please feel free to PM me, I can answer your questions or pass you on to the event organizer.

Wow, not even a reply? Noone interested at all? I guess noone on this site really enjoys working on large military vehicles anymore... :(

And now you know why lots of us would rather buy a sandblaster and be done with it, than buy a single piece of sandpaper. :)

You can come, but only if you bring a rent-a-model as a sales associate! We could use some eye-candy in the campsite! :)

Okay it's that time again, the yearly work weekend for the USS Torsk WWII submarine museum in Baltimore, MD is coming up, October 4-6 (Friday thru Sunday). We are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer a little of their time and effort into getting the boat restored and maintained as it...

A few more.

Only could show up Saturday due to work commitments - when work comes up I have to take it so my play time got cut short. This was the first year I took my daughter to the rally - she wasn't thrilled before the event, but she said she had a GREAT TIME after! She really enjoyed trail riding...

There is no source for new or NOS wiring harnesses specifically for the M104 trailer. Best bet is to use a M105 harness and modify it.

I really wish we could bring our own fire ring (i.e. tractor rim). Those dinky 14-inch car rim fire rings they have there you can barely get a couple pieces of wood in. I miss campfires made out of stacks of pallets. :)

Excellent work so far, GNE, keep it coming together piece by piece and you'll be done in no time!

All the ones I have ever seen were brass, and I'm sure after a couple days in the field they rather quickly started tarnishing after being out in the weather, so you didn't have to worry about the enemy seeing the sunlight glint off your fire extinguisher. However, I'm also sure that since GIs...

At this point, can't make it on Friday, have to work. Will be arriving early Saturday morning and stay through the evening hours. But it will be good to see everyone again, hopefully some new faces are there too...
