MorrisMe, l know you found the trucks kind of in the woods. Where all the water inlets & outlets closed off and capped? Just thinking of them damn tree rodents and mice might have filled everything with acorns and pine needles. Can you run water thru the trucks pump system without using the pump to rinse it out? .....Hippy

l remember getting my doors totally blown off by Montfort. Poor Astro didn't even know what the hell went by it! lol And then the tail lights were all you could see!! AH the good ol days! .....Hippy

Buckchop, Welcome to BMT. So that you know, everyone will be looking for pictures of your trucks. And it doesn't matter if they are under six feet of snow! LOL! .....Hippy

The Few, the Proud — Iwo Jima On February 23, 1945, six Marines, with Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Division, raised our American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. The flag on the 546-foot dormant volcanic cone at the southern tip of the island, could be seen for a great distance, and was an inspiration for our Marines and Sailors. Three of the six Marines pictured, Sergeant Michael Strank, Corporal Harlon Block, and Private First Class Franklin Sousley, were killed in action before the battle concluded on 26 March. There were 6,871 Americans killed and 19,217 wounded on Iwo Jima. The Medal of Honor was awarded to 22 Marines and five Sailors, 14 of them posthumously (13 Marines, one Sailor). Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander of Pacific Fleet and Pacific Ocean Areas, noted of the Americans on Iwo, “uncommon valor was a common virtue.” Joe Rosenthal’s iconic image was of the second flag raised that day, a 96-by-56–inch flag to replace the 54-by-28-inch flag, and that image was the inspiration for the Marine Corps War Memorial outside the Ord-Weitzel Gate to Arlington National Cemetery. Both flags can now be seen in the National Museum of the Marine Corps near Marine Corp Base, Quantico. The major conflicts against 20th century tyrants cost 616,124 American lives and 1,120,283 wounded, in bloody theaters of warfare — one battle at a time. Too many Americans now have no concept of the price of Liberty bequeathed to them — the price of freedom many arrogantly squander today. Ignorance is bliss — until it is not… In 1940, Winston Churchill observed, “Never was so much owed by so many to so few.” Indeed. C&P The Patriot Post .....Hippy

Thank you Paul, you said it all in one sentence. .....Hippy

How is it a "prick punch" when you start the job/repair. But if and when things go wrong it's not what it's call any longer. Asking for a friend. .....Hippy

tjc l'm glad you asked about that. l missed following along with the progress that Paul was making. Still have not figured out as to how you do so much by yourself Paul. .....Hippy
