James wrote me this evening about a wonderful surprise from Walcks4wd.  Congrats James!

“Merry Christmas Dave! Hope you and your family are having a good Christmas this year! I woke up this morning and Santa was very good to me. I opened presents from Mom and Dad and later was sitting in our living room listening to some Tony Bennet and Frank Sinatra Holiday music.

I opened up my email and Santa had left another present for me. I won the 2011 Walcks4wd Wishlist! They made my Christmas wishes come true! I want to thank Carl Walck and his family and wish them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I also want to thank you Dave. Through your website, I found Walcks4wd. They have the most authentic and highest quality parts around. I would recommend them to anyone restoring or fixing up a jeep. They are truly good people. Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! James.”

Modern Mechanix Article on Rocket Brakes & a Jeep

December 25, 2011 • CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine, Old News Articles • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Originally published 12/15/2011

Nothing about this idea sounds good.  Mechanix discusses the attempts to use rockets for braking in their June 1946 edition of the magazine.  One of the vehicles tested was a military jeep, with a special pyramid behind the driver to protect in case of a roll.  It almost looks like the driver has a seat belt.

Kids and Biscuit

UPDATES:  Next updates will be on Sunday 11/25/2011.

Though chilly, the weather was sunny yesterday, allowing for some fun in Biscuit.  Karson (17) and Kasia (15) took turns driving while Colter (13) decided he was fine with riding in the back.  I supervised and drove, while Ann photographed.

The day’s highlight was when I ran out of gas.  In my defense, I knew the tank was low and didn’t want to use up our time running to the gas station and back, so I hoped to let the kids play AND save a few drops for the drive back to the side of the garage . . .

We almost made it.

The kids thought this was hilarious, noting that not only did I run out of gas, but I also got stuck in the ditch.  Ann countered that I only got stuck in the ditch because I ran out of gas.  However, the kids saw it as an ‘and’ situation.  So, I’m sure I will never hear the end about the time I both ran out of gas AND got stuck in a ditch with Biscuit.

Fun times 🙂
