Made another run this saturday, trip was uneventful. Good load of stuff, still got 16 mpg.

Found I had the wrong hose for the Skid, so no worky this weekend. Also the battery switch is totally non op. Brough a new one, but access is a under the control.

Bucket on there has been making the trip a few times now. Still waiting for the quick attach ears which I have.

Kubota started great, then started sputtering again. Sure is a fuel issue, so going to get all new lines and a pump. I was able to sputter along just enough to unload the trailer.

The stairs are something I have been looking and a deal finally came up. Advertised as 14 tall, but actually 9 (they included the rails) For now it will allow access to the cont top, later I will use inside the shop as it matched the drawings for second floor access.

That is a performance indicator on NCO performance reports. Was introduced to a new commander by my chief. Sir, this is Sgt Wall. If you need anything, just let him know. But you can never ask where it came from. I was proud of that. LOL

I like deals and I need it all. Little more organization and I can dig a foundation.

Right now though I have all 3 tractors down. All run just being finicky

If you'd a better job securing your gear, it wouldn't have been creatively reallocated. As a CWO, honestly, you should've known better. Especially in the SPECOPS community. LOL!  :wink:

It wasn't missing. Someone knew where it was.

You would think so, but:
1. I'm none too bright
2. The folks I was surrounded with were masters of stealthy operations
3. The game with you combat arms folks is to always take advantage of the aviation people
4. Aviation gets more of the most expensive toys so our stuff is sought after amongst the lowly and smelly people we haul around! ;-)

True...But just not the right person to prevent the inevitable statement of charges!

You aviation types make it too easy! Always more focused on your rest plans and eating on fine china. Gives ample opportunity for us "smelly people" to reallocate some of that fancy gear y'all have that'll make our lives easier. LOL

Is there some sort of a problem with eating off of fine china?

Once the vets stop trying to out do each other,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,soon as possible.

Weather is where I need it, perimitter is staked, just need the kubota running (fuel issues) or exc up there (kinda got on the back burner but its time!). Skid is fine, will need it to break the rock with the hammer.
