Gotta LUV all the variants of the C-130. WHAT-A-PLATFORM for so many missions. I think the USCG paint scheme is my favorite of all the pattern's she's worn.

...and a SPARK is born! Glad you've got a great sense of humor. :jumpin::driver::tank:

Many flags around San Angelo, including at our LZ, are being flown at half staff today in tribute to our neighbors at Dyess AFB, Abilene, TX (90 miles north of here). The patriotic and reverent hearts of my fellow west Texans, never fails to humble my own heart.

PB, The Scriptures tell us to guard our eyes, they are the gateway for deception indeed. You were tricked into "seeing" only what you wanted to see. I'm glad you've gotten back on track. I had never thought of it this way before, but one of this evening's posts brought this to mind.... I...

Our prayers for the families and fellow service men and women following this tragic loss of life and aircraft.... 11 killed in C-130J crash in Afghanistan http://www.ktxs.com/news/11-killed-when-us-c130-plane-crashes-in-eastern-afghanistan4/35615452 Governor Abbott Statement On Death Of Four...

Was that a pun? That looks like a pun! Hey, that was pretty punny !!! :naner:

I posted that last item just 7 short minutes ago. My buddies that the tire and battery shop just gave me a call. They will be able to supply FOUR NEW INTERSTATE WORKAHOLIC Batteries AT COST ! ! ! BUT there's a catch.... He won't let me buy them until he hears back from their factory rep. In...

This situation, and your exclamation, remind me of a quote I once wrote down for future and frequent reference..... Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. Napoleon Hill I firmly believe that we are about to see God's...

A bit of bad news this evening. It is with a heavy heart the I must announce the passing of all four Interstate Batteries that were in the truck, un-cycled for so many years. Funeral services for the batteries have not yet been scheduled as "WHOLE BODY DONATION" (aka: Core Trade-In) is being...

Great pics. Your nighttime photo op seems.... uh..... COVERT . Shhhh.

"Rig for silent running." came the command.

Have you got any additional photos? Prototypes can be highly collectible.

Yup, the winch is going to stay, for both the functionality and the story behind the truck's continued service. No word yet on the fate of the batteries.... but I told them to take their time on them. Thanks for sharing all the wisdom... and the COMEDY ! I doubt I'll be hollering, "CLEAR" in...

I appreciate your 2cents. Purely for the historic accuracy, eventually well be mounting OEM NDT tires on both the rear duals AND the front axle. One engineering reason for the duals is the ability to single a side-set in the event that one tire fails. It's called redundancy. With 10 wheels on...

Let us remember to pray for ALL who face the traumas of this and every wreck... The first responders, the investigators, those working the insurance claims and - YES - even the attorneys and their staffs. We almost automatically pray for the victims and their families, but the extended circle -...

The winch is PTO driven. Thanks, Warthog, for the tire rack info and offer. I think I've got all the parts and pieces, just lacking the fasteners which should be no problem to acquire locally. Yes, location - location - location will be determined once I get the truck home. I don't think...

NO the engine is NOT painted tan... that's the "preservative dust" that gets all over EVERYTHING in west Texas. Thanks for your thoughts on why the front drive may have been disabled. Good call. I DO have the front driveshaft. It rode home with me in the minivan with all the other parts and...

(...CONTINUED:) Spare Tire Rack and other loose parts. Once I got home I unloaded the four INTERSTATE Batteries.... I set them on the Deuce tailgate and hosed off all that "protective dust". Will be taking them by O'Reilly for testing on Monday. Well, that's it for tonight..... Stay...

SITREP: RECON AAR: Well, this weekend has been a BLAST !!! Friday evening was Recon Trip prepping and and early lights out (relatively speaking). Then Saturday I was westbound just before dawn, scoped out the location of the truck, hooked up with the Sheriff's Deputy/Point Of Contact for the...

Thank you Gentlemen for your paint scheme suggestions. Please review previous posts. The plan for painting has already been decided. ========================== RECOVERY UPDATE: On short notice, I'm going to make a solo RECON trip to Midland to scope out the situation. I'll be carrying basic...
