Dang!!!! I work nights this weekend. Oh well, I'll catch one of these rallies or hang with some of you at some point.

Tentative Mini Rally this Saturday at Brad's.
Mike (Amram) and I are headed there hopefully this Saturday morning. Mike is checking with Brad tomorrow to make sure we're good to go. Going to keep it low key (ie: no BBQ) unless you guys want to whip up something.

Sorry have to work Saturday. Have fun all!

Dam, cant make it due to broken power steering cylinder any one have one to sell??? hehe

 

[wsucougarx]

Not sure if Amram connected with Brad today. So still tentative.

 

[wsucougarx]

We're good to go for Saturday morning. Ray spoke to Brad and got the greenlight.

 

[Amer-team]

You guys have fun, looks like I am on daughters house maintenance this weekend.

 

[ARYankee]

Yeah guys, have fun.

 

[yeadon]

Does anyone know where I can pick up a couple of retaining clips that go by the throw out bearing? Can I pick this up @ any auto shop?

 

[ARYankee]

Anyone got anything going on this weekend or next? I'm not working those 2 and since I'm 2,000 + miles from my MVs, I figured I could oogle over some one elses

 

[Amer-team]

AR, are you located in Hermiston? That is a long way from my house, but we could find something to do. I have a possible parade or two on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, may be going to take the 1st Sgts. Alcan highway doghouse out of the back of his CCKW. That may be interesting as he built it so it just fits in the bed.

I am in Centralia WA. Peter L.

 

[ARYankee]

Cool. Yeah I'm in Hermiston working at Umatilla Depot at the chem demil plant until June/July next year. I do get to go home for 2 weeks around Christmas I may take you up on your offer. It will just depend if I feel like driving that far

Picked up a PTO from Brad last weekend. Will need to replace the dust covers and the seals, but it looks like a pretty good unit. Still need a yoke for the driveline if anyone has one handy. checked with the local driveline shop and they will put one together for me for a reasonable price. It will be fun to have the winch operational one of these days. Have the local heavy duty transmission shop looking for a seal kit for the PTO. How is everyone else doing? It seems a bit quiet on here lately. And it is too darn wet out to do too much on the MV's.

Am going to do the Shelton Christmas parade tomorrow with the 42. Will put a few lights on it as well using a 12V converter. If anyone is interested on Dec. 15th there will be a lighted tractor parade, think MV's, In Centralia. Last year we had 3 MV's and I would say as many people turned out for that one as the 4th of July parade, but it was dry that evening.

I've been busy getting both trucks ready for the cross-country move, in fact going to Mike's (AMRAM) house today to swap a trans/torque converter on the CUCV. Tomorrow or Monday I'm meeting with Dwayne to place new kingpins, and bearings on the CUCV too. Dan helped me finish up the heater install last weekend. I think Ed and Dan are going to Idaho Motor Pool today. Much of what has been going on has been being posted on the PNW Steel Soldiers Facebook page.

Dale am glad to hear your preparation is going well. Sorry to not be helpful with this. Facebook? This is about as high tech as I get. I don't facebook, tweet, or any of the other stuff. Good luck on today's mission. Peter L.

any dates come to mind?

also next month theres some HAM classes. if anyone is interested its up here in tacoma its 2 day class sat/sun with test on tues.

 

[wsucougarx]

Scott, you really don't need to do the class thing. Just buy the ARRL's book and quiz book and you're set. You can also take the sample tests online. They are the exact questions you'll see on the test. It's the easiest test you'll ever take.

Oh thats right Dwayne, I was thinking it was a different Scott

 

[jets1959]

Mike, the robo tool you have can be very useful I would hang on to it. Especially with all the trucks and equipment you have.
