Art: Thanks. Still trying to get in touch w/ Alex to make sure he'll make 'em fit for me. I should know before too long. Hope he'll do it and that I'm not too late. I'll let you know.

The only bad part about going up to Weare is I don't want to leave NH. How did I never find it before I moved to the People's Republic of Komneticut...
The fuse has been lit since last year to move.

Look for me Mid-morning-ish. I'll have the M116A2 and the MEP-002A just in case anyone is in the market for a generator. I'll also be looking for a couple turn/brake bulbs if anyone happens to be selling them.

Hopefully Vintage Iron has some more pics from the Big truck Trail ride. It was fun.
Also I understand there is a Rally with camping in North Kingston RI Sept 6-7.
I'm gonna go.

Picked up some stuff. Got a nice NOS windshied for the Deuce. I was 25$ short and the gentleman let me mail him the difference. Got a NOS bumper for the M1008, a trailer cable and some BDU stuff. Still crying over that trailer though...
The two ice ream runs were good too and my son got a ride in the Scorpion tank as well as one of the tractors.
Also thanks to the guy (forgot your name) who took my son in that wicked cool 5 ton crewcab. That truck was awesome.
Bottom line, I left broke and happy.

Yup, that was Jeepnasty in his M923A2 four door. Martincox was there with his Scorpion tank and his M915. Howard was nice enough to let me borrow his M916A2 for a while ;) . I noticed a big drop in attendance this year. There were more big venders this year, but no smokin deals. I really enjoy getting to see all of the character that make the show great.

I am looking forward to "the Rhode Island military Vehicle Collectors Club show" the club really worked on improving their show this year. They have a new bigger location, camping, more food venders and even a trail ride. Their show is Sept. 6-7. Great to see a club that wants to make their show better and attract new young members.

I had missed that part. even better...;)
It's my son's birthday that weekend. I think we will bring a few kids and make a Bday party out of it.
Funny it did seem a little lighter this year on attendance but for some reason even despite the breakdowns I had a better time and it went too quick. Maybe it's because I knew more people this year.
On a side note we got in some nice riding at the Hoptkinton Everett riding area although the trails were a bit rough for an 8 yr old on a 90, he did really good. Even crossed a brook.
I may head back up in August for a weekend of trail riding. NH has some of the best ATV trails I have ever seen in my life and they let pretty much any age on them.
Did I mention I wanna move there...:)

It was a really great time and I made it home this morning without any problems ahead of the rain. All together I logged 275 miles on the M109 this weekend including a few side trips.

I thoroughly enjoyed Friday night's Spaghetti dinner and the road trip to Beech Hill Farm for Ice Cream and live band music.

At the auction Saturday night I won a deuce air horn for $6 and two gallons of Randolph 24087 paint for $20 each. I looked over the M105 but it wasn't worth the scolding I would've taken from my wife if I had towed it home...I already have a great M105 that doesn't get enough use as it is.

I got to meet Mcknightj1 and Vintage Iron and saw Jeepnasty drive in. I think I missed some of you mid-day on Saturday when I left to visit a tractor dealer down in New Boston. I think I saw Carl's truck at the show and as it drove by when I was in NB. Surprisingly a lot of the owners I met weren't SS members.

I'll post some pics once I finish sorting through them and I'm planning to return next year!
