    PASSED/SIGNED: Texas MV Bill Moving thru Senate

    Well..... From a "strictly" Biblical sense, those CAMO NETS are for catching CAMO FISH of course! rofl But if fishin' ain't your "thang", then you could try catching CAMO BUTTERFLIES with them. rofl We now return you to the serious nature of this thread.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yup... That's how they do it. Now, to get us back to MV content..... I wonder if anyone in the various "MIXED NUT" industries has used any MV's in their orchard operations. They ARE known for their radical VIBRATIONS, ya know.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    A friend here in San Angelo runs a multi-generational family Pecan business covering central and west Texas - everything from nurserymen to orchards to harvesting to processing. He's shared that they make as much on the byproducts of the shelling operation as they do on the pecan "meat"...

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    OOOPS! First Dutch F-35A Accidentally Gets Foam Party Instead of Water Salute. This is actually a "Post-Flight Incident Article", but because of it's comical aviation interest and this threads broad subscribership I'm posting it here for the maximum broadcast audience's appreciation...

    I feel like i'm a broken record (younger folks won't understand that phrase) and am just repeating myself over and over. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE ! For the time being, no news is good news. On my side of this "patience equation", I will soon be entering a new season of my life...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    SHAZAM ! I DO see the spring mounts now! I'm viewing the pics on a larger screen and I now see that they are indeed present. I apologize for sounding an alarm unnecessarily. The beds on the Deuces and 5-Tons that I have observed in their unaltered state typically have bolts ONLY it the two...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The frames of these trucks are designed to twist/flex on uneven terrain. The beds are therefore hard-mounted using the rear anchor points and the front anchor points have LONG spring mount bolts assemblies. HOWEVER... It looks like your front mounts have already been altered to be hard-mounted...

    Saw this article about an F-117 Nighthawk being retired to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and realized we have not yet started a dedicated thread for this aircraft. So.... here we go ! ! ! We'll start with these photos and their source article: ...

    Ah, brother Ahab! Thank you for pointing out my Faux Pas. My manners were below standards. I apologize if that offended anyone. Most sincerely, please forgive me.

    Military vehicle. radio group

    Well... now that you bring up that question.... Uncle Sam's various intelligence agencies HAVE decommissioned several satellites which are still in orbit and functional. The most well known (at least by it's products) are the KEYHOLE family of Photo-Recon Satellites which are now generating...

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    I am reminded of the Glider Pilots of WWII. Their primary role was following the tow plane, tripping the cable release, and then performing a successful (typically crash- ) landing. Once that mission was complete, they were pilots-turned-infantry and had to morph into a completely non-aviation...

    I actually have no idea what that bracket is for. But I've just got to add this: "It's there to make young troops ask questions..... Now carry on." :goodjob:rofl

    Need a tractor that can pull a semi trailer for movie

    Hmm... Yeah, MANY rushed to judgement saying that the space program was doomed to failure too.... long before the first THE RIGHT STUFF was ever filmed. Fortunately, others waited until the fruit was on the tree with both the NASA program and the first film before they started judging what was...
