My son Jason and I went to pick up the first of 2 M109's. Upon arrivial, met Sarah and she took us to the truck, checked the oil, and it started right up. Brakes were a little spongy. Had no problems on the way home. That will begin the painting process and transformation into a camper. Enjoy the pics.

Sweeeet! Sarah is a gem especially compared to the previous woman who worked there she was downright mean. That truck looks great I will have to drive one of my MV's up to see you sometime when I get back from Korea

Sounds good. When your son picks up your M109, if he has any problems I am half way between Parkville and Anneville. Have him give me a call 410-808-5227 JOHN.

Thanks I am very grateful for all the wonderful members here who help out. It is hard being so far away and even though I trained the boys well they still have a few areas to grow in. I am really putting a lot of faith in them to go pick up two trucks and get them home safely.

Also isn't Sarah a gem? She is a former US Army Suppy Sergent and it shows she really treated me well when I picked up the water trailer
