September 1, 2013: When responding to a craigslist ad for
firewood I met a gentleman by the name of Paul who lives in Libertyville,
Illinois. Much to my surprise Paul is a very avid military vehicle collector
and we seem to have a lot in common. He
has a huge collection which include Half Tracks, a Gamma Goat, MB’s, an
airborne dozer, an immaculate WLA, and many other vehicles. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take
my very first ride around the yard on his M274 MULE. Meeting Paul is exactly what I needed to get
the motivation and drive back in full gear.
Plans are underway to clear my side of the garage to make room for the
jeep. I guess I’ll be parking my truck
outside in the cold all winter which kind of sucks but sacrifices have to be
made. It’s time to start planning a
winter project.
