NEW FRIEND



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.
