    G749 preservation

    APPLAUSE ! Sounds like you've got our winter plans all lined out. By the way.... Why do cats just LOVE to play with MV parts and climb all over them too??? Do you think they fall for that camo deception???

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2019 - October VOTE HERE!

    My twitchin' votin' finger has spasmed on ONE and cast my ballot. To y'all who this month are the runners up, PLEASE re-submit your MV's in future competitions. So many are worthy. It somehow seems unfair that we must choose just one from many.

    MV illegal on highway in Canada (Quebec)

    I encourage you to use that impending date as leverage to motivate by potential public outcry any elected, appointed, or hired official to GIT 'ER DONE! No bureaucrat likes that sort of negative fallout to be looming over their governmental employment security. Still praying from Texas for...

    I have just re-read the entire Restoration Thread linked in the quote above. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that y'all go read the whole thing as well. We should all have such talents and dedication. Yet, that twitchin' votin' finger of mine STILL is wigglin' between choices this month.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2019 - October VOTE HERE!

    My twitchin' votin' finger hasn't yet pushed any buttons on this month's ballot. By the "process of illumination" I'm trying to "shed some light" upon the best choice. This month's stable has some fine thoroughbreds in it..... Such a tough choice! So... Candidates, please CONVINCE me who...

    B17 Nine-O-Nine crash in CT - 2019-10-02

    While it is our human nature to speculate and hypothesize, we should remain cautious in our grasping for answers. The NTSB investigators have the physical and recorded evidence and are analyzing the forensics of this devastating crash. One indicative fact reveled in the preliminary findings...

    KAMO rally October 11-13 2019

    98G (aka: John) is a good troop! I'm sure there has got to be a record somewhere on the books for backing up a 5-Ton + Steer-Axle type trailer. I suggest a special Medal be created and bestowed upon him for this accomplishment. You're a better man than most, John. I thing I might have cut...

    Homemade Deuce tow bar system.

    Rusty, Thanks for linking this thread and resurrecting it. I like the homemade tow bar, but have already acquired both a Medium Tow Bar and a HEAVY Tow Bar too. I doubt I'll ever have a real need for the HEAVY one, but I seem to never be able to get rid of ANY "tools".
