Mwmules and Gimpy loaded up a bunch of stuff last night at the BeefCo warehouse. Gimpy will load more out this morning and head up.

All I did was mow. And mow. :-(

I've been eyeing those key sets for a while. I'm about 95% sure I'll be buying one. Would definitely be nice to be able to lock up the HMMWV and a bunch of my cases with the same key! Glad you're bringing them out.

I have two M35a2 arctic bed heater kits, NOS, in original wooden crates. Complete with fuel fired heater, pump, filter, control box, ducting, exhaust, heater guard, fasteners, instructions, etc... These are bed heater kits, they do not include an insulated M35a2 cargo cover. The heater can be used for any cab or anything as well with some easy adaptation, they should be 30,000BTU units each. $500 per, will only bring if pre-sold as there is a lot going on in these crates, they are somewhat large and heavy, lots included.

Can also bring new gear reduction starter for LDT/S, NHC 250, or 6CTA8.3L engine. Would need to know engine type to configure it ahead of time with correct solenoid position and pinion gear. $250.

6CTA 8.3L engine from my 1990 M925a2 is also for sale, and could be at the show, but I'll need a way to get the truck home if sold. :) $4000. Silk smooth shifting MT654CR trans $1000. Can demo both before removal, not pulling until sold. Trans not available until engine first sold.

I'll be there Saturday only.

Is the Huey going to be there again? I got a letter from them recently, so assuming so? Didn't open it, will tonight. Would like to take mom up in it, she's moving slow and may not have many years left. Then you can all take pics of my mom, like I have teased some of you for years about pics of yours.....(though not anymore).

Well, it looks like I'm getting a day hallpass from the boss to run down on Saturday. I'm bringing down a set of troop seats for a guy and she said as long as I don't bring back too much stuff. Ha Ha

Got home at 2120 last night. JP (EMD) about an hour after that. Safe trip although we had a moron lock his brakes up in a construction zone and would have creamed us if not for JP's cat like reflexes and trucker spidey sense.

I sure have missed it the last few years and it was great seeing old friends again. JP and I were planning next years trip on the ride home. Planning on bringing the big MV's.

I pushed on through and got back around 2300 CST Sunday night and was beat. Had 50mph straight line winds and rain so bad had to pull over a couple of times in IN and IL, turned out to be tornadoes and two sets of MRAP mirrors were taken a sacrifice to the wind gods! Had a great time and next year the National MVPA will be happening at the same time as a combo event!~
So if you have never gone to Findlay that would be the time to do it.

I did go off and leave the Steel Soldiers banner handing above the squeeze chute, got someone checking to see if it is still there.

Update!
Jerry, JW4X4 snagged it and will be the banner bearer for the next year!

Glad I got home Friday night to miss that foul weather (though, a bit sad I couldn't stay for anything on Saturday...). Next year, my wife and I want to come stay over the weekend and make a bigger event of it. Will be a bit easier next year since we both will have an entire 6 days back on our PTO due to another annual event we attend coming to a close.

Hey all, Had a great time at this show catching up with old friends and making some new ones. What a clean town! I could definitely live in a place like that. Looking forward to next year. Best, L
