Docs' Mule is ALIVE!

[Blue2actual]

Today at the CAMO compound, Troy, Tony, Papabear and DOC got the MULE running. Oh, and Babybear helped. I figured I'd share some pictures and video of the first start up.

*edit- can anyone tell me why my pictures are uploading sideways? They are straight on my computer but when I upload them, they all get rotated. Anyone know what would cause this? Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Shoot me a PM if you can help

Actually, Tony and Troy got the Mule running.

Blue2 was the official photographer and John was the "Class Six" provider.

BabyBear and I supervised refreshments for the troops and Doc pulled a light switch off a donor M37 to be sent to Zout for his M43 Ambulance.

It was a good day, shared by some good Americans!

Blue2 missed the part with his vid when Doc got on the mule, put her in gear and shouted "HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS!!"

You're just jealous cause Georgia won't renew yer passport and you don't have anyone to play with but your new girlfriend.

yikes...holy crap PB where did you find that critter?

Awesome!



Doc looks genuinely happy to be driving.

You guys will find the Mule is not only a great conversation piece at events and parades, but it is incredibly useful around the house or the shop. A good running mule that starts easily is great to throw tools and parts on when working and we use ours for yardwork all the time.

Funny you should mention that Clinto.

Doc was trying hard to think of a good reason to buy the mule so his lovely wife would not murder him for buying another MV.
Being the wise ole bird he is, Doc passed it off as "a cute little garden cart!"

The black eyes and dislolated nose were only temporary!
