Hello to all. This is my first post, so I hope I get it right.
Anyone from TX, OK, AR, LA headed to PA for the GL auction at the end of the month? If so, and you plan on being there a day or two early, I would like to hitch a ride so I can peruse the equipment up for bid. I would certainly be happy to split gas/driving, and help with loadout.
As far as experience dealing with GL, MV inspection for aquistion, what to look for, etc., I am a baby-faced, green recruit, just off the bus, and standing on the yellow footprints, if you follow me. I mean, I can spot dry-rotted tire, and I know an oil puddle means trouble, but for increasing my chances of selecting an old soldier worth the trip, and more than half-way likely to make it back, I could sure use some benevolent advice and assistance from an old salt with a keen eye. Which brings up a second request; should I find a particular article of interest, and place the winning bid, any problem with me adding +1 to the convoy headed home?
I thought about flying up, rolling the dice, and driving home, but knowing my luck I would almost certainly choose the worst of the pack, the one old dog, barely clinging to life, waiting on a sucker like me to lay claim to it so it can roll over and die at the worst possible moment, in the worst possible place! Plus, you can't exactly bring a tool box and a big, honkin jack on any domestic flights these days. Shipping is completely out of the question.
