At this point, my collection? consists of a M35A2C and
a M105A1 trailer. I do have occasion to make a trip
down south to Madison so let me know, I'm sure we
could work something out. I'm getting truck and
trailer ready for a trip out west to Ouray, CO for a
ATV trip in the mountains. 3500 miles should be a
bonding experience with the new seats. We plan to
drive straight out and straight back to maximize the
time in Ouray. We'll see however depending on how the
truck takes it and us. I should be back in time for
the Iola show.
Your comment about too little time and too little
money are right on. The realitively low cost
initially of buying the truck and trailer is
completely forgotten by now. After buying many, many
tools and a good share of parts as well as fuel, oil,
insurance, license fees, etc. This has quickly become
my most expensive hobby. But I don't care. It is
truly enjoyable all the way around-well, except for
wheel bearing work.
Well wishes,
Marc
