I've got the M923 loaded with some Pecan and Beech firewood, and some Ash is yet to be loaded.

I pulled my camping M105 out of the yellowtop flowers (actually they're weeds that I need to bushhog tomorrow) to clean out and get ready to travel.

I'll probably show up sometime Thursday PM, and will need some power (have cord will travel).

Looks like your new truck is going to be spending some more time at my place huh? I would bring it to the rally for you if I could.
Yeah, I'm in the middle of honey-dos fixing the wife's horse pasture and riding ring, hauling horses, and dealing with a big oak tree that took out our power line during a storm last week and is still on our fence.

I may not get around to cleaning out the camping M105 until Thurs AM.

I retired last month, but I've been busier than before I retired, lost 5 lbs, and still don't have time to play with my toys. This relaxing retirement deal is not what it's cracked up to be, and I've learned that retirement has a very high mortality rate!

I will try to get the M925 next week, unless the M923 dies on me this weekend.:D

Edit - I still can't reliably insert photos in my posts - it's hit or miss. Frustrating as all get outaua

thanks, Tim, I plan on having mine there, just no time for upgrades or even good cleaning from what I had last year - but will have portable AC if needed.

Could be rolling in on Friday (depending on what im scheduled for and what time on Friday, no M923 either so just my truck and my tent), but at the very latest it will be early Saturday morning for me.

Glad I was able to make it out there today. Got to put names with faces!! My son said his favorite trucks were " the one that floats" and tow truck because it was like "mater"

Tim, I will probably get you to mail me my shirt when it comes in. Hope to be in my own truck next year.

Mike
