The two 1948 jeeps run and drive ok.  This might be worth a look.

This is the 15,000th post since my first post in January of 2008.
This morning I received my 17,000th email since January of 2008 when I launched the email account.
That’s a ton of work!  I might even rest tomorrow … lol

Today I pushed the final version of my book to CreateSpace, having spent the past month carefully editing the bookproof.  I will announce when they approve it and post links to CreateSpace where it can be purchased.  In addition, I will be putting together some book signings.   I already two potential signings:  one in Salt Lake City, Ut, and one in Sea Cliff, NY.  More later . . .

No Updates until Thursday morning.  Given the SOPA blackout, I’m gonna take advantage of this and finish up a couple other projects.

Happy Blackout All!

FYI:  As of the latest news I have,  Craigslist will go black on Wednesday.  I will update Tuesday night, but the links will probably not work all of Wednesday.  However, I won’t blacken eWillys.

Major sites such as WordPress, Craigslist, Wikipedia, and others will be joining the blackout.   I spent some time doing some research tonight, hoping to separate fact from hyperbole regarding the SOPA and PIPA legislation.  Based on what I’ve read about the way the legislation has been worded, both of these bills could be seriously misused.  Just look at this link to see how Senator Lamar Smith’s own website, the bill’s author, could be taken down permanently, because he has violated copyright law.

This comes complete with plaques.

“This 1950 Willys CJ3A Jeep was restored with its original motor, transmission and transfer case.  The truck is completely rust free and runs like a champ.  The tub and interior received a special “black out” treatment, and a custom sound system was fitted into a custom overhead console…just plug in your iPod and hit the trail!  The truck has its original seats (re-covered) and original, fully rebuilt flathead motor! 4×4 system works like new. Newer BF Goodrich all terrain tires and wheels. The body is incredibly straight, floor boards, body and frame are all rust free. Original Colorado Two owner truck! All gauges, lights and buttons work like they should…check out the video below!  Dont miss out, own this rare jeep at a fraction of the build cost!”

Updates Tuesday AM

It seems one of the updates I did to the site yesterday broke it this evening, leaving me unable to do any updates (lol).  After a little time, I was able to fix the problem so everything works again (I hope).  So, I will delay updates until Thursday morning.

Updates Friday mid morning . . . then no updates likely until the 25th.

My kids fly into town tomorrow evening, so updates will become irregular for the next week.  I will update tomorrow afternoon though.

Tonight’s updates went a bit off course as I found myself exploring the archives of Mechanix.  Check it out as they have some really cool stuff!

No pictures provided.  This could be anything.
