    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    Being a part of the tourism industry the DUWK operators probably also pay a hefty TOURIST ATTRACTION tax that the municipality has calculated to include a "FEE" for the use of the boat ramp(s). Sounds to me like we have A LOT of guns going off half-cocked in this discussion both in the local...

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    They look kinda "cute". Shouldn't that Mercedes emblem be changed to MATTEL though?

    WHAT?!? $582.00 Won Us an XM818 Tractor ! ! !

    Indeed, October usually does bring rain to San Angelo. But so far as the coming week goes there is no substantial chance of precipitation in the forecast. We would be BLESSED with rain and I wouldn't complain if it did, but as you suggest, we WILL be prepared.

    Thank you for the great seat suggestion. I may have to use it. As for rain..... Nothing in the forecast for at least the next 10 days... This IS dry west Texas!

    Wreckerman: An apology! I mis-typed the distance from San Antonio to San Angelo in my earlier reply. (I have not edited it.) We are actually about 200-210 miles from San Antonio - NOT the 100 as originally posted. OOPS. Unless you have other reasons to "head west young man" we could (and...

    Alas.... Still chained, a captive on the trailer. You're probably not feeding it nor allowing RED CROSS packages to it either. WE MUST START A CAMPAIGN - - - FREE THE K-18C !!! FREE THE K-18C !!! FREE THE K-18C !!! Carry on.

    WHAT?!? $582.00 Won Us an XM818 Tractor ! ! !

    Thank you. I'm not considering the front axle option for the 109 mile trip, just to get it off the fenced and gated Sheriff's Office Impound Yard where it is currently parked. Once it is off their lot then I have essentially satisfied the PICK UP WITHIN 10 DAYS condition of the auction. This...

    WHAT?!? $582.00 Won Us an XM818 Tractor ! ! !

    Sounds good, gentlemen. I'm still waiting for a callback from the S.O.'s POC. (Sheriff Office's Point of Contact). Questions asked are specifically about location - room for tow truck or lowboy; is it aligned with gate or will it need a magic wand to weasel it out of a tight spot. The pics...

    Thank you all for the congratulations and other kudos. I humbly redirect it all to HIS honor and glory. One snippet of this story I'll add tonight: Both Dianna and I had prayed about bidding on this truck. We also asked for some revelation as to HOW MUCH to bid. After a couple of days we...

    Thanks, WM. Yes, we shall pray for your son's Basic Training experience. The chance to meet you - even though San Antonio is a 200 mile hope from here would be a great plan. Do you know the date(s)?? John edit: Corrected distance - 100 miles was a typo - 200 miles is correct.

    WHAT?!? $582.00 Won Us an XM818 Tractor ! ! !

    Indeed. We have been very patient waiting for a truck that would be one of HIS choosing for us. To emphasize this, it is about as close to us as any auction might be; it seems to be in reasonably good condition; the end price for the auction is certainly a blessing; the point of contact for...

    investigating She will be coupled to the trailer as soon as circumstances permit. We know she needs batteries, and the driveshaft reinstalled. We understand she was towed to her present location merely because of the battery issue. I have every reason to believe that simply going through...
