Took 88 M35A2, bed full of recovery gear and a smile 387miles. 09:00 appointment. Upon arrival, told all previous appointments were no shows. Shown M109A3, fired right up. Checked out good. Used dock to load up 2 101A2 trailers after I had removed canvas and bows. Took tongue off back trailer, and strapped down load. After hooking up to go, took test run. All was good. Extra goodies in M109A3 were 3 new fire extinguishers, 7 MREs, 2-4 prong, 1-2 prong electrical cords, box of assorted wrenches, ladder, 30ft of hose(like that used for underdash heater), and 22 2 foot long T stakes. Box had 2 diesel fired heaters. Once got down to 35mph on I-80, rest of time cruised about 45 to 50. Research and your guys help made this a pretty much uneventful trip.
