    Something hinky on GL today

    I was watching todays auctions on GL today and when I clicked in on GL Redstone I saw Events that had closed last month. There were three pages showing lots and two of them had the old auctions on them...the other page looked normal. I got on live chat with Heidi and she logged in on my...

    Redstone closed

    I was scheduled to pickup some stuff and do some previews Friday morning in Huntsville. The bad weather must have pasted the base because I get no answer at GL up there. If you have an appointment to pick up or preview next week I suggest that you start calling at 0730 Monday morning and see...

    Wreckerman and Elmo available full time

    I am now out of school until the end of Summer. If you need something picked up at Redstone or Anniston Army Depot I can probably do it. Due to the high fuel prices I can't do previews unless I am going there to pick up something. If someone wants to cover fuel and lunch I can do a special...

    John and Sol at Wreckerman's LZ

    I got a visit from John and Sol (his screen name escapes me now) to pick up their M101 trailer I picked up for them a while back. They did a "turn and burn" from Miami to get the trailer. I love meeting folks from SS and they are good people. Sol actually bought the trailers for John. A woman...

    WWWWWWreckerman and Elmo at the car show

    I got a call from one of my buddies late this evening that they were blocking off the street in town for a car show and wanted to know if I would show the flag MV wise. I didn't have a lot of time to prep the Primary Deuce so I just mucked out the cab and headed to town with a load of metal...

    Wreckerman's Wood Fired Waste Oil Heater and Possum Parcher

    Like most you you I am sick of high fuel prices so I have decided to purify the 250 gallons of WMO that I have out back in a tote. I'l cut the clean stuff with gasoline and run it in the deuces....maybe with some WVO thrown in. To this end I have built a wood fired heater to get the oil warm...

    Moving oil via convection

    Years ago I remember seeing an idea for heating a swimming pool by using convection. The idea was to take a coil of black plastic pipe and put it into a black 4x8 plywood box covered with glass.....the water would be heated and move by convection from the pool to the heater and back to the...

    American armor on the streets of Egypt

    I don't want this to degenerate into a political brew ha ha but I am a writer and this is how I express myself when I see something fundamentally wrong with what is happening to our country. I have been following the events in Egypt, not because I give a rats behind about the country, but...

    Murphy free (nearly) recovery and delivery

    I picked up two trucks for fellow SS member Big Camo Truck last week and delivered them today. One the way to my place the brakes on the towed deuce gave me a slight problem (almost locked up and started dragging) but I put a butt whipping on Mr Murphy and got to the LZ OK. This morning I...

    M-275 generator issue

    I drove the M-275 to Redstone the other day to pick up a van trailer and when I got back the batteries were dead. This has been a recurring issue but since the old TLs were still in it when I got it I had replaced them hoping it was not the generator. Well Murphy had his way with me so now I...

    Blast that M-275

    I had a guy come over to the LZ to give me a quote on sandblasting the M-275. He has a mobile blasting rig and recently blasted my ex-wrecker for the guy that bought it. The new owner painted it yellow with black trim....I know...sounds hideous but actually looks good. He owns a tow service and...
