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...

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...

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...

I am in need of some glass tubing or high temp plastic tubing to make a sight glass guage for my wood fired WMO heater. 3/4 or 1/2 inch would be good. Anybody got something in the scrap pile that would work....I am on a budget.

We got Jeremy's (Bighurt) M915 running Wednesday but now we are having electrical problems.....I knew the system was 12/24 volts but I did not know that the batteries were where the voltage was split. We may have fried something and we need expert advise tomorrow when we try to fix it. I am...

I am planning on going up to Redstone Friday (the 8th) to check out some items. If anybody needs a preview or pickup PM me and I'll try to help out.

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...

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...

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...

I am out of school this week for spring break and since I have no urge to hang out with the party crowd at some tropical paradise me and Elmo are going up to Redstone Thursday to check out some stuff. If you need something previewed or picked up I will try to help out. If I do a recovery I...

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...

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...

Today we (Bama Lady, Elmo and I) went up to Redstone to help M920 (Soni) recover Sirblissfull's M820 Expando Van. No prob convoying up in the Dodge and we met Soni about 0745 just down the road from where the truck was stored. Mr. Murphy was showing his azz and we had to jump off Soni's...

Since I have been (self) appointed as the official Liaison for Instruction And Recreation (LIAR) for the rally and we are fast approaching liftoff I am posting some of the acts and seminars I have arranged for your edification and enjoyment. Friday night we will feature Buster Hyman and the...

Well...actually it is just half of one pontoon. I was driving down one of my shortcut roads and they had cleared some brush off the shoulder. Through a gap I saw what I thought was a DUKW up against a barn. Knowing SS member Clinto's ga........errrrrr....fondness for the aquatic deuce and a...

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...

I was at Redstone Wed and they were unloading M916's sent in from other sites.....there was a lot of them and more on the way. There are also several M915's on the yard. They have not been lotted and are not in any active aution. Most of them started and were driven off the trailers but...

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...

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...
