When I was a little kid I spent hours out in the back yard under a big hickory tree pushing my Tonka toys all over the yard. I had bulldozers, front end loaders, dump trucks and a big TEXACO tanker truck (hey all the other vehicles had to have fuel).
Then I went in the Army in 1972 and discovered all the toys Uncle Sam had and would let me play with......Gamma Goats, Jeeps, M37's GOERS and the good old deuce.
I spent two years in Germany in a signal unit....I got detailed to the mess hall as a driver and spent the next two years driving a deuce.
Ahhh the days of my misspent youth.
A few years ago I discovered this site and my fate was sealed. At that time I had far more money than sense and went off the deep end buying trucks.
While my financial fortunes have changed my love of the deuce (and the other adoptees in the Motor Pool) has not.
I have culled the herd down to a manageable size and now I plan to restore what I have.
Now they are therepy.......I am working through a lot of personal issues and when I get overwhelmed I can go out and work among them until I feel better.
They can be frustrating and demanding buy ya got to love them.
