Well if you have not heard from the SS grape vine my leave was approved! I took a couple bribes (no joke) but I got it. The wife, dog and I will be arriving in the late afternoon Wednesday. We will have the M1009.

Kip, he PMd me and asked if he could bring a civy truck!
Good to finally meet you guys in person Sat at Findlay and I would have said bye if it weren't for the pouring rain and everyone scrambling to get out of it.... :-(

I mentioned to stretch the possible reason for taking a civy truck to Haspin. I may not be able to drive either of the Deuces because of my shoulder. I am pretty sure that I ripped the right rotator cuff during a fall 3 weeks ago.

Well, after leaving Findlay it got worse. I'll be spending tomorrow pleading for quick surgery.

I still plan on being at Haspin even if I can't drive an MV. I can load a generator (5500watt gas) in the back of the 4x4 to bring if you'll need it on Wednesday. (Not by hand...)

Man, just over 3-1/2 weeks to go! I can't believe it's almost here!

Sounds like this year is going to be pretty huge, by the number who have showed interest. Record number of vehicles and Steel Soldiers there, we might as well rent out the whole park - but then the fun of seeing other ATVers gawking at us would be lost, and we can't have that!

HAHA! Hookups! No way dude, you pay to get in and use a community restroom/shower.

It was good meeting you to SWB.

Thanks to you and Dennis for looking for (and finding) shackles for my truck.

$5 is a lot better than the guy selling a set for$75. (But his sure were painted pretty.)

Well crud. It looks like like I'm down to one truck ( XM818 ) and a trailer (M200A1/MT6950TRC). And I seem to have lost contact with everyone that was supposed to go with me.

There's still time to get all my ducks in a row, though.

Last weekend we picked out a M35A2 to take to haspin, so we took it on a little test run in the woods. Of course like most of my trips to the woods turn out we had to walk back. I have about 15 winch trucks sitting here on the place and we took one of my future parts trucks out, it has a knock in the motor and missing the doors for my crew cab project, but other than that its cherry. So on the final creek crossing we got stuck, so try to grab the winch, but of course the shear pin was broke. So we had to walk home, because I had none with me. Put a new pin in it and winched it right out. So I got her broke in and ready to go as long as the motor stays together, might be interesing to see how it will last, I think it will be fine. I am going to haul it over on a trailer. I hate to bring a nice truck, because it seems like everytime I go to Haspin in a jeep or sandrail it tends to end up on its side or something like that for some reason :-D
