Thanks Wreckerman, for breaking me in right. This was my first ride and the second time I've ever driven a deuce (M109A). (In the day, I walked alot or rode in a helo. Once in a while got to ride in the back of the deuce) My buddy Zout coached me as best he could. My wife's "death grip" is still visible on the passenger side door frame. I actually thaought she was going to bail on me a couple of times. I appreciate everyone's patience and advice. I was impressed with the comaraderie and friendly nature. I've never been a "joiner". Zout is the social butterfy of our team, as you could tell. From what I've read on the SS sight and what I witnessed Saturday, mebers are the "good guys". Thanks again and especially to WM for my" Baptism under fire" and his great hospitality.
