I got home at 11:00 yesterday morning and was the first one off the plane. LOL The channel 8 news crew was there and got me walking up to my wife and 2 girls and all. I'm glad to be home!!!!!!!! I do miss the 80* weather though, man its cold here.

I have alot of stuff to do now that I'm home too. I have an intercooler to get installed, I'm changing all fluids and filters, I need to install a thermostat, I need to figure out where I'm going to get new charge pipes from. I think for at least a while I'll just run crush bent 3" pipe, till I get some mandrel bent. Either way it will flow more than the old 1 7/8" crossover pipe did.

Next project will be my Rancher AT I bought 2 weeks before I left. I got a highlifter lift kit, springs, and HMF exhaust to put on it before I go ride. Should be fun.....


Oh, and of course there is the family time I need to catch up on.

Stand down Soldier, you've earned it.

Man! How do you rate? Home just before Christmas? Must have some political pull somewhere in the unit.

Don't forget to plug your truck in!

Thank you for your service to our country, especially during a time of war.

Now, since I live about 15 min from you I would very much like to meet you to thank you in person and check out that ride!

PM me for my # and when you are settled in give me a ring.

Having been stationed in Brunswick and having served a tour of duty in the Phillippines during Viet Nam with VP-26, I know the feeling and there is nothing like it! Welcome back!
