Finally finding time to tinker with the XM818. With new batteries in her all the electrical seems A-OK. Even confirmed she has power to the Fuel Solenoid. So now chasing the fuel system. The EMERGENCY Fuel Cut-Off Cable and Valve are both functioning properly and I've confirmed the Fuel...

Welcome aboard :grin: Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver:

You've already found a good Soldier B in 98G (John). I'd also recommend that you check the Member Map and make contact with folks along your route in case roadside assistance or a safe harbor becomes necessary. Vaya con Dios !

GREEN IS GOOD - and what good timing with tomorrow being St. Patrick's Day and all.

Our thanks to the Steel Soldiers who were able to attend Dudley's funeral service. As stipulated in his obituary (link previously shared in this thread) the SS Benevolence Fund honored the family's request by making a sizable donation in lieu of flowers to Wounded Warriors with our...

I have just received a call from CARNAC. I have shockingly sad news to report - Dudley, aka Atankersdad, has passed away this morning, Monday March 7, 2016 due to complications following his surgery in Baltimore, MD. This just happened and details will be posted as available and appropriate...

DANG ! You got me with that "TIN ROOFED CARGO BED". I should go to bed earlier. Looking more closely - without the fatigue - I can see it IS just your carport and NOT a Tin Roof over your Deuce's bed. (EMBARRASSED!!!) It's funny what the eyes will see at a glance. Thanks.
