Then I guess Tracer and I will just have to each drink a bottle oursleves: - And when we do, we will be drinking to YOUR good health!!

Are these active military vehicles for shipment, or surplus? Are you kidding? Are these being sold as surplus? Everything looks brand spanking new?!

Hey, USSR, if Tracer ships you a bottle or two of the Texas "Titos", will you forgive us? Please??!

Can't find it, but now that I searched the algorithim will likely tag me with it now in a day or two...

Can't find the gasoline reference, but here's a "snip" about the Ronson story:

I'll look, but if I remember right, that's the reason the M-34 Sherman was gasoline-powered: - The engine was an off-the-shelf item, already engineered and U.S. manufacturing was also already tooled for the mass-production The T-34 was put into production in kind of the same way. There's a...

Nice pic. How do you lift those round bales, is there a special fork for the tractor to do that?
