So my wife says: "So Harold, why aren't you going to this?"
I say, "Because I said I would be your driver and escort that day."
She says, "You don't have to come. You can just drop me off."
And I reply, "And how would you get home...?"
Blank stare....
There's always next year, right?
I think all of us were a little worried, even us that aren't able to attend.
What with all the most lately fallen SS members.
All of you, enjoy your time. Weather is only a little part of the get together.
Me? I'm going to be a conference hall with my wife talking to people for the entire...
Oh, I thought maybe the HEMMT might have made the tow.
Now that would have been a sight to see. But then, I guess it doesn't have the fifth wheel....

Odd thing in the cab...
Looks like a cover for a NATO plug. Below the dash. (While looking at a few pictures on a certain un-named site. :deadhorse:) On all the m1028, I spotted this in the cabs, Has a cover with a chain hanging down on most of them. Right above the 4x4 shift lever.

On the highway, I drive with the OD on. Hills I turn it off. That may be one of the issues I have.
When towing this trailer, I'm beginning to think I should have the Tow/Haul working all the time.
Level is one reason I got a different hitch plate. It was a little butt high before. I haven't had to tow it with a load and because I have to back it up so much, I haven't had the surge brake working, I 'pinned' it, since I bought it.
Heck, I just got the lights working right a couple weeks...

Drove it all day Sunday, 7/3, following. No issues. parked it for about 30 minutes drove off, 10 minutes out, the transmission temp light comes back on. It's done this to me twice since...
