The Pig Cutting Board

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Tom Gallagher loves his CJ-3Bs. He also works with wood (professionally). Last summer he gave Ann and I a small pig cutting board as a marriage present. I use it every day and love it. If you are looking for a nice cutting board, check out one of his. (Not a paid endorsement or anything, but he did just launch a new website so I wanted to give him a plug).

Updates For the Next Couple of Days

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Between the Bantam Festival presentations on Friday and Saturday (both at 1pm at or near the History area — I can’t say for sure at the moment) and that fact that we are camping (which makes charging our equipment difficult), there will likely be few updates. I’ll throw up a few old posts though.

We will be camping at Amphitheater C.

SCHEDULE FRIDAY:
9AM: We will be arriving at Coopers Lake
1PM: My Presentation starts
1:30PM: I will be selling/signing Finding Virginia books and should have a couple more Amber Panels books as well.
5PM: We’ll be participating in the downtown Butler Jeep Rally

SCHEDULE SATURDAY:
1PM: My Presentation starts
1:30PM: I will be selling/signing Finding Virginia books and should have a couple more Amber Panels books as well.
3PM: Docent in history building? TBD
Evening: Eating at the “Pigout”

SCHEDULE SUNDAY:
We hope to be on the road by 11AM. We plan to stop in at the Packard Museum in Ohio.

I expect to have time Sunday evening to do updates.

Next Stops

Sunday evening we’ll be traveling to Burlington, VT. From there we’ll be going through the NY Mountains to reach Oswego, NY, monday night. Why Oswego? I am hoping to find out more about the two women who did the around-the-world tour in an FC. They were teachers at the University there.

Tuesday night we’ll land in the Buffalo/North Tonawanda area. If I can get a good price, we’ll stay there a week. We’ll be preparing for the Bantam Festival and our trip home.

2013-06-02-trip-plan

Leaving (A) Hollis Center, ME, in the afternoon. Arrive at (B) Burlington, VT, Sunday evening. Arrive at (C) Oswego, NY, Monday Evening. Arrive at (D) Buffalo, NY, Tuesday evening.

Spent the night last night in Connecticut and had a nice time meeting extended family I hadn’t ever met. We’ll likely be staying in southern Mass tonight. Then we’ll wind northward through Mass and into Maine. We’ve been talking about trying to reach Acadia NP. More tonight.

Oh, am behind on emails, so I hope to catch up tonight.

1948 CJ-2A Aumsville, OR **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

This build looks clean, but having the speakers mounted like they are means you’ll have to cover them whenever jeeping. Maybe that part is removable? The hood scoop is unusually shaped.

“1948 willys sb400 chevy 3 spd runs good all new wiring ,gauges ,seats ,stereo ,33 baja claws on weld wheels real head turner $5500.00”
