Ok everyone, Sorry this has taken me awhile to get together- I've been busy moving into a new place. I would like to offer food service again this year, and Cabell might bring his MKT, or I will drag mine up for it's first rally. I promise I will be better prepared this year- I was rushed...

I was delivering a deuce to Clintogf (Dawn) and one to TJP (new guy from AZ, I was dropping it off at his father in laws on the north side of ATL) yesterday. Angie drove my pickup behind me so I would have a way home after I dropped off both trucks. Anyway, she pulled ahead of me and headed...

Because by summer we may have $4 a gallon diesel, I'm offering to bring a 5000gal tanker of JP-8, WMO, and diesel blend (Clean, tested, and certified). I used to be an Oil King on a ship, so I can/and do test the fuel blends, and get them as close to pump diesel in viscosity and flashpoint as...

Well, with the cold cold weather we've been having here lately, the biodiesel plant has had major issues the last few weeks. I finally got to load my tanker that I purchased and haul some oil. Took about 4hrs to load it, as the one tank had 3500 in it and it was coldish, and the heated tank had...

Hey Guys, Well, I moved the Town of Winnsboro's loader for use by the RR Museum in moving all our old railroad ties on Sat. It was sitting down by the quarry, hidden from view for weeks. As soon as we moved all our equipment up the line to a new loading point, which is right out in the open...

ER!!! An August 1979 M967 5,000 gallon tanker to be truthful! After our whirlwind 650+ mile m814 truck recovery last Thurs, Friday, and Sat, EMD567 (JP) and I just wanted one more 5 ton ride- or not really. But I had to go to the Goose Creek weapons station to get my tanker. Here are the...

Hello fellas, I have a question. My wife recently re-bought my former M37B1 (interesting story) and she is rebuilding it, with my help. Last night we pulled off the hoses and water pump, so that we could have the radiator boiled out. Well, it seems that at some point in its life, it just sat...

Just wanted to let everyone know that Tim, the ONLY GL rep in the state of SC, is away for training. That means no previews and no pickups from Ft Jackson, Eastover, or Goose Creek for the next few weeks. Tim said he would be back the week after Labor Day. Just wanted to let everyone know.

Looking for someone to check out a tank trailer for sale by the local town. Also, anyone up that way with a tractor that could pull it off site and store it a bit for me if I buy it? Thanks!

Got an opportunity to run my m1008 hyrail truck down the Port Royal railroad on Saturday, may 22. The South Carolina Railroad museum was asked to run the line and record it with video and pictures, as they maybe dismantling the line soon. We took the hyrail truck, and 3 speeders. The video...

Hey guys, Neil Hendrix came down and between Sat and today, we got the m818 prepped and painted. It came out pretty green, and shiner then I wanted, but it looks pretty good. Neil had to keep on me, as I kept spraying it on pretty think. I've got to get a little bit more paint, for some...

Ok everyone, I've decided to try and get a bill passed for SC, similar to the GA and WI bills. I hate having to deal with the DMV and such right now and would like to see something happen to make it easier, and possibly more affordable. Well, as they say, if you want something done, do it...

Hello all, I had something happen to me last night that I felt I should share. I am in the middle of replacing the 9.00x20 NDTs tires on my m109 with 11.00R20 tires. I had the front driver side axle jacked up with a horrible freight 12ton bottle jack. As I came up on a stroke, the piston...

Well, many of you know that I work for the Air Force driving trains. I also volunteer at a RR museum, as the mechanic/engineer/secretary/trackworker etc etc We (the museum) recently got 1.5 miles worth of 119lb per yard rail and concrete crossties. Problem was we needed all of this stuff...

Hey guys. I thought you might want to take a peek at my remote reservoir setup that I just installed on the M109. I know others have done this upgrade, but I chose to do things a bit differently. I didn't like the rubber hose running under the cab. Also there was talk of some hoses don't play...

Well, took a day off work and went down to Ft Stewart to pick up Westy's M818. Drove down in my railroad maintenance truck, because I have rigged it up to be towed with a medium towbar. Got there around 0845, and waited on John for a few minutes. While I was waiting, I hooked up my tow lights...
