PS. Just filled the M105 up with firewood so having a roaring campfire wont be an issue this year. Id wager almost a full cord.

See you all on Friday.

When are you leaving Friday? I plan on leaving between 9 and 10am.

 

[jets1959]

Everyone who is meeting Scott and I on Saturday can you please send me a PM with a cell phone number so I can make a muster sheet/ recall roster so if you run into trouble there is a list of people you can call.

Also bring a spare tire for a deuce.

[wsucougarx]

Probably going to head down tomorrow w/my son in my civy to say hi. Then head home and come back Saturday morning with my green machine.

Wow! My in laws are coming this year. I am actually pretty honored to have my father in law come. After the passing of his son Todd on July 12th, I think he wanted to get out and get his mind off of things. I invited him to come this year (I do every year) and to my huge surprise he said OK.
Randy is a highly decorated Vietnam combat vet. He earned a silver star, a couple bronze stars with V, several air medals, army commendations etc. He was draftee and served from '67-'68 as an infantryman. He was attached to the 2/60th, 9th Infantry Division. Besides leading countless patrols in the Mekong as a platoon leader, he was moved up to run the TOC (typically ran by a Major). He has a ton of stories.
In fact if you have a copy of John McCain's Faith of My Father's. Randy is mentioned on page 276.

Headed that way....................

tomorrow night with just the 5 ton after the better half gets home from work and scrubs herself.

I have a bunch of parts that are taking up space and gathering layers of dust.

There'll be other excess also, too much to list. So drop by and we'll make a deal. (Cheaper than epay. ;-})

See y'all tomorrow night.

1st Sgt. Gifford called this evening and asked if he could borrow the M38A1 and tag along for the parade on Saturday. I said of course, so will probably have the 38A1 and M54 along for this event on Saturday. Hope to get down tomorrow afternoon or earlier depending on work. Thought I would get tomorrow off and that isn't working out so great.
Anyone interested in an M416? PM me, I could bring it along it needs a bottom and back end work, frame is good.

 

[Amer-team]

Mike, if we were really cagey, he could drive my M715. It is original and is a 9th Division truck. It was attached to the 9th Med. Bn of the 9th Div. It is a 67.

Thanks man. My pump sys is kinda fubar'd atm. My 105 went wild on the way to Tony's place and chucked everything around in it. Lucky I have my barrel racheted down really well. It was pulling the back of the deuce back and forth... I grabbed my seat without my hands on that one.

The HW was worn concrete and was grabbing the trailer from one side to the other.

Tony's new 5ton is a freaking beast.
