Ok, I'm 95% in. The M109 was great Memorial Weekend, no more fuel leaks but I do have a couple very small oil leaks that I may not get to fix before this trip. I'll be driving the truck around town a few times to see if they get worse, especially after an oil change that I need to do. I just don't see me pulling the IP (where the leaks are) in this heat to fix them until winter when the temp will drop back below 100 F.

I'll be topless as well, but that should be no problem (the canvas cab top apparently took too much heat the last few years and disintegrated on the road).

We can do movies at night on the side of the M109 if anyone is interested.

That's a great idea. Do you have a projector of some kind for that?
Yea, did it Memorial Weekend, have a computer and projector to show movies and used a white vinyl sheet as the screen. It worked great. Sound was low, but I know how to boost that so that it will be fine this time.

I should probably ask if anyone has a favorite movie I should definitely bring.

I usually can get my hands on some fairly new stuff as well, so I'll have to see what's in theaters around then.

Wow, I haven't watched that one in a long time. That's definitely a quirky flick to say the least. Good pic, not sure it would be accepted by all though.
I never thought in a million years I'd find ANYBODY that knew the flick (I haven't seen it in probably 40 years).
We're way adrift here, and you're right it won't be a hit with all. But it WAS a hoot wasn't it?! :beer:

I say the Unforgiven or Full Metal Jacket so some of us can reminisce the way the military used to be.

You don't need a mil vehicle to enjoy the event. Does anybody have popcorn for the movies?
