Well Bruce, sorry you can't attend, I will have to find someone else to help me install my cargo canvas when I get there.

See you there VT

Attending the shower will be more important for you to remember in future years since family memories out weigh any rally ones. For many years my battle cry was "I missed out this time but I know I'll make it next year." and everytime something would be wrong with the truck or family stuff kept me away and now I am happy for the family time memories. Cherish yours, and you can say "I missed out this time but I know I'll make it next year." :D

I have added 40 more shots to the rally album: http://news.webshots.com/album/582778516PTUcYS?start=12 including this fellow seen behind the wheel of the Marine Green M37:

Vinny, it was great to meet you and your brother, had to chuckle at him trying to use a digital camera for the first time. Let me know how the surprise works out.

Tried to do what I could Jeff, she called me Sat. to say truck would not start for loading but soon phoned back and said all was well and it started and was on the trailer, no help needed. She needs a mechanic who knows M37s to spend a couple of hours looking it over. She said sometimes hard starting was an issue and that could send someone in several different directions so time should be spent checking it all out, as I had no tools there was not much I could do but give ideas of where to look.

Sandy wants me to shave and give up smoking, however David, I would not look the same with out the moustache and a cigar shoved in my face. :wink:

Hi Carter,

Great meeting you at the Rally!! Nice truck too. I can only hope mine looks like that someday. Great pics, mine didn't turn out that good. But who is that good looking guy in the flannel shirt holding that engine hand crank that's leaning on your truck?? Oh yeah, that's me (except for the good looking part)!! Hey, the Rally was fun and it sound like you and Roberta finally got to talk. Great seeing you in person!

regards,
bob

Carter, no worries if I miss a MV show due to family that is fine by me. It's when work makes me miss the ralleys that I get cranky. This year I had family yesterday and today I'm at work... sort of a double wammy...lol! Great pics from the show and it looks like a good time was had by all.

Thanks for doing what you could. This was her first MV show as a owner and from what she said, she got to meet some fellow Steel Soldier members so hopefully one will be able to help out. Im glad to do what I can as far as troubleshooting from VT. Sounds like she is starting to get the hang of it.
