Headed to Sparta next week!

[Speddmon]

I'm happy to hear you guys had a good trip. I think you pulled into McCoy sooner than Lane was planning. From talking to him I didn't think you would hit McCoy till about 10:30 or 11. I have to say it first now that you've got them home...

Slept in until around 8 then the freeking phone started ringing!! We made real good time going over no traffic and CUCV seemed to love 72 MPH. It was fun watching grounded do the bobble head thing and slip in and out of conciseness . You remind me of that guy from King of the Hill.. Ding dang dong .. Talk to me for bit and then thump.. I hope I did'nt brake him! He has really put some miles on the last few weeks.
We only had some small things happen like me thinking there was more fuel in the tank and running out of fuel. It worked out good a Soldier on recruiting duty from Escanaba who just happened to be a M1 Abram mechanic stoped and helped us bleed it out after putting the 5 gallons I had in from the CUCV can. I thought multi's would self bleed?
Both trucks ran real good and mine ran liked a raped ape after we blead it out??? I could keep her at 55 to 60 no problem pulling the CUCV. Grounded said his ran real good also and he had to keep feathering the throttle behind me.
Thank you grounded your one hell of a guy you just need you to start yelling at me more so I can here you! Carpenter, drums, guns, trucks = huh????Steel Soldier transport devision = grounded the wonder driver.. Although I think I pushed him pretty hard on the way back..
I did not take any picture I was to busy PMing trucks and looking around. Tom I could not find your truck?? but you should be able to drive it home without any problems. Most of them are in good shape. Hell I am thinking of coming down there and driving you up, picking up my trailer and helping you get back.. Whats your schedule? PM me

some of this morning.. Its a disease I tell ya!!!

 

[Speddmon]

Those are some fine looking trucks!!!!

 

[citizensoldier]

they have some rust issues that pictures just dont show but overall real nice. Motors seem to be fresh and clean and run good..
Send me pictures of your truck if you have them.. I looked down two rows and could not find the numbers you gave me.. There was two more rows of trucks though. I had to get them off base by myself so I was swamped. Grounded left his wallet in his truck and they would not let him in the gate without ID.. Or maybe he is wanted in a few states and didn't want to bring it??

 

[grounded]

dont forget to bring my M146 trailer when you come.

Dont push yourself to much harder! You might blow up! Safe travels to you and there will be some more adventures for sure.. Is there a southern language book I can buy to help with some interpreting? I owe you for sure and will be down for a visit soon..
So Paul's loot is good? What else did that little OD miser have sitting around.. Did you see the M818? That brings new meaning to the word "cherry". I think he has some pull and walked it down the assembly line.

[citizensoldier]

Well Maxim my CUCV and I have the same agreement as Dave P and his white M37.. . I beet the hell out of her and she likes it. It was a good trip but I did start seeing little blurry monsters on the way back when crossing the Mac bridge. lol..

I think grounded will be sleeping for the next 2 weeks! We yapped for quite awhile when he stopped at my place. It was great meeting him. I could tell he was running on empty though. He said something about putting 4k miles on the road in just a couple 3 days! There was a time I could do that, not anymore.
Hey Lane, aside from your Sparta bounty, I understand congrats are in order! You have the od disease BAD my friend. lol
