How good is your Spanish/Tex-Mex communication?
Good luck on your app.
Vick -O.K, I told some of you I would keep you posted on my Deuce recovery when plans were laid out. Here it is:
I will meet with the GL rep at North Ft. Hood on Friday Morning (8-17-12). I intend to load the deuce on a trailer and sit at my son's place until Sunday morning, visiting. Then it's 190 to Menard, down to Junction, and I-10 to the casa (Tex-Mex or as we call it, Spanglish).

That's good ol' west Texas hospitality for you. There are many good people around here. No one likes to be stranded "in the middle of nowhere", so help is just a blink away.Thanks, John. I will keep your number with me, just in case.
By The Way, I was in Ozona with vehicle problems (not MV) this past week. I was able to get myself out of the jam but I have to say that I met some really cool folks at Otters Diesel repair. They gave me a place to work and we shared beer and company.
I passed Clint, TX yesterday. I was all SOOOO tempted to pull over and take a picture for CLINTO. Just didn't feel like having the obligatory traffic jam pull in behind me for everyone checking to make sure I was alright (LOL).O.K, I told some of you I would keep you posted on my Deuce recovery when plans were laid out.

Welcome aboard, Lee!Another Midland County member checking in. REAL new to this MV ownership stuff. Managed to get the high bid on a M923A1 out at Hooks. Waiting on the invoice so I can arrange shippment....if anyone has any good contacts for a 500 mile ride for a 5 ton, give me a shout. I do have quite a bit of experience working on heavy equipment, having grown up on a Reeves County ranch where anytime you wanted to use anything from a truck to a dozer, it required several days of work to make it runWife and I were members of our local VFD here for many years and helped keep one of our 5 ton brush trucks running and held together with spit and bailing wire.
Looking foward to getting my beast home soon and seeing exactly what I bought!
Glad to see so many Texas folks here, although I was always told, by my dad and granddad, that you weren't REALLY in West Texas unless you were West of the Pecos River![]()
UASFSS-ColdWarrior, my daughter and her family live in Tom Green County, just North of Christoval...son-in-law is a firefighter/paramedic for SAFD.
I am a retired communications engineer, now running my own consulting company. So if anyone needs any radio type comms help, I'll certianly do what I can!
Yay Team!The deuce is now here and I brought the towbar. We now have recovery capability in case we didn't before.
W E L C O M EDoolest, live in Fort Worth,76123...bought a M105a2 in may 2012 and M923 last week in fort Polk,la....will be keeping these 2 gems at my buddies ranch between quanah and Childress...looking for a shipper to assist in the delivery since I don't have the cdl yet. Was born in the metropolis of Rotan, Tx and my dad lives in Snyder and I have a sister that lives outside of San Angelo...surely with all the west tx connections I qualify to enlist in the detachment!?!?
