M813 Earns it's Way Home

[rumplecat]

After picking up my M813a1 from GSA in South Mississippi I drove it about 200 miles to my parents home where it sat for months. Luck steps in my brother need to have the contents of his shop moved to just where I need to move my truck! He contributes $125 in diesel and a "military vehicle paint repair kit" German or Swiss i think and I make a six hour ride to my destination, worked for both of us!

You have to appreciate a deal like that. I had deuce load of wood to build a deck yesterday and failed to take a photo. He gave me five dollars for fuel, but that was unnecessary. We had a pretty short hop to make. It took about three hours to sort through the wood for good boards and to deliver and unload. There was a couple of employees at the lumber yard that knew way more about deuces than I do. Military trucks sure draw a crowd!

And Patience, not as nice as it is going to be, I have a couple of gallons of paint, full winch setup, fiberglass troop seats, bows and a new cargo cover, it will be standing tall!
