Title: Willys booster shot
Post by: Bob W on March 05, 2011, 07:27:17 PM
I just got a Willys booster shot today ;D Went to one of the first Military Vehicle swap meets of the season. It was the Redball Meet at Jim Thorpe. It's a great way to boost enthusiasm after a long winter. Also stopped in at Walcks 4WD to BS and pick up a few small parts. It was a good day.

Sounds like fun, Bob...You guys in the Northeast were thawed out enough for a show already? We went back in to the freezer here in Texas last night... I've been doing ball joints in my F-150  today and it sure is cold.

One thing I reely miss because of my traveling for work is the ability to just up and go to the local shows...Lately I have been away every time there was a show or ride I wanted to go to. You are right, attending a show is like a booster shot. Even better for me is going on a jeep trail ride in Colorado... now that really gets the old shop projects going.  :D

The weather in PA was okay today for the event. Some light rain but warm. Of course it's inside so the weather isn't a big factor.

Someday I hope to attend the Colorado Fall Colors Tour. The timing just never works out for me. We did get a personal tour when we stopped in to visit Mike a few years ago. Of course it just isn't the same without a dozen or so flat fender Jeeps!

Calvin is hosting a fall ride in Utah this year. That will be fun. Unfortunately I can't attend that ride  :(  Calvin is a great host and really knows the history of the area where he lives. He took us on a tour when we were passing through a couple years ago.

Sorry I missed the show this year. Ended up in the ER early Thursday with an infection and am housebound with pain and antibiotics for a few days. �:'(
