Thanks everyone. My son and I had a good time

Good Grief, look at this motley crew. Dennis is thinking, "If the camera wasn't looking this way, I'd shoot Dork Farmerall in the head with this red tip rifle". Dork is really checking out Steve. Adam is texting the Tinkerbell, the bacon er.....pet piggy and Steve is, well, ready to shout "Hot Nuts, Cold Beer here!

Now I see why Findlay is such a hit!

Wait till you get your flares!

Ferro showed up for the event too! He didn't get enough there, so he followed me home to "Casa De Cripple" to pick up more green stuff. He has some kind of class to take at Fort Useless. At this time he is in Va and has 258mi to go. Good luck man!

Pretty sure doc did get shot with that... My son bought it. And my lovely daughter is standing next to me.

Notice the finger outside of the trigger guard? Gun safety, lol....

Lots of good times to be had at Findlay. I saw some old friends, and met a few new ones. Life is good...







On the other hand, my camera decided that it was finished with my nonsense, and quit working right before I snapped my first pic at the show.

Well, had an awesome time at Findlay, even though no bowling occurred. I just got all set up here at my current LZ for the week. I have to go through my 36 month locomotive engineer recertification. I cornered the market on M37 water pumps. I left with 4 of them! I only have one M37! lol

The bed of my truck is level with parts and the back seat is pretty full too.

Great seeing everyone and meeting some new people. I may have to make Findlay a regular thing. Just take a month off and crash at different members houses till they get tired of me and I move to another, until Haspin rolls around. lol.

Had a great time! Nice drive home in the Deuce. Sold tons of stuff and didn't even buy too much. Thanks to Steve Bank for bringing up all the Deer Brats to feed the whole Steelsoldiers crew.
This weekend just makes me realize what a great bunch of people we have on SS.

PS: Those were my tools used to fix the window....

One more thank you to Gimp and 1st Sarge, nothing like crawling under a Deuce at 10pm to adjust my emergency brake. Now I know how to do it myself.
Thanks guys.

Nothing to it Sky! Here is a pic of when I first learned from gimp how to do it (I later learned how to do it correctly from Kip).
