    Mostly military, but also commercial, concrete trucks, snow plows and throwers... It's weird that you're from WI living in GA and I moved here to WI from GA.

        I (and probably a whole bunch of other Marines) am a huge fan of the MTVR...and its cool to have a Bangshifter building them. I'm hoping to get back to WI someday after I finish up these last few years I have left in the Marines.

          Good day today!

          Out in SoCal getting CDMBill's mustang wired up! Also worked a few hours on the phone, got the second V10 Viper engine running on MS3X...! good news for the Viper guys because basically no one makes affordable standalone EFI for them...

          Hopefully gonna make Irwindale tomorrow at this time with Bill's car. Gotta get ready for drag week!

              I got pulled over by the local township cops, gave me a warning so that is a good thing. I fought the Honda and lost. Then I looked under the inter beater GP and found it is almost done, needs a ton of work other than the brake lines. Im so frustrated with it I could burp Uranium 235 and piss arsenic.

              Now I am going to take a break and play some GTA and try not to think about anything.

                Got your number, will call you tomorrow around lunchtime. So far we're on schedule! Probably will fire it up first thing in the morning, but will have it all wired and debugged tonight. Don't wanna piss off the nneighbors ;-)

                It will be cool to meet you in person finally.

                  I did steps.

                  Been fighting the upkeep and hassle of carpet of steps going downstairs.

                  Purchased an item called retro step from Lumber Liquidators (found them cheaper later at Lowes).
                  It's an oak tread with riser.
                  They came raw and we stained and finished them....also had to cut each one to length.

                  Just install them over existing tread.

                  Results...better

                    Thanks for your service, and I'm honored and happy to build them for you guys! If I'm still in WI when you get back beers on me.

                          Yesterdays flight was an absolute ZOO...

                          Picture a freeway with 50 cars each enters onto the freeway with just a bit of spacing... no problem right?

                          Now imagine 50 helicopters hanging out waiting to take off from an airfield when the weather clears... and when the weather liars finally send someone to look outside... it instantly clears... and we all launch at one time... I should mention there is no shortage of lack of ego's involved here...

                          It's best to duck down behind a hill and just watch

                            You need to bring your video camera!

                            As for me: Work, gym, repeat. Got a 4 day weekend so I'm hoping to get a lot done and maybe have a little fun while I'm at it.
                            I'm probably wrong

                              I think I know what to do with our steps now. Will have to check out Lowes and see if they have any wide enough for ours. That looks great man.

                                It sure is Thom, that looks great. And you did the hand rail, too. Nice. Huge difference.
