Newbie from Texas

[Blue Ghost]

Bruce here, or Blue Ghost. I live in N. Tx with my wife on our 10 ac., south of D/FW. I've been a fan of military vehicles for some time, and I now have the "fever". I just last Thursday, picked up my first buy, a M105A3 trailer from GL, down from Ft. Hood. It's in pretty good shape, got it with the bows and tarp. Don't know exactly what i'm going to do with it yet, maybe camp trailer, but i've been looking at a M35 next, have my eye on a M109A4.
Master Plumber by trade, and unfortunately, I have not served in the military (hope ya'll don't hold it against me) like my dad (Navy), and 2 older brothers, oldest actually in the "Blue Ghosts" , I believe 1st Air Cav, F Troop. That's where my avatar is from. He gave me the patch when he came home from Nam the 1st or 2nd time, with a picture that was painted by one of the guys in his platoon. He was a WO, then a Captain after his 2 terms in.
I'm hoping to learn all can, and from what i've seen so far, ya'll know your stuff! Thanks for having me.
