I arrived back in Pasco today after a week+ absence, so I’m spending some time with my honey. No updates Wednesday.

On a side note, just a few miles outside of Renton an early Parkway Conversion drove by me. Not a sight i see every day! It had an early grille.

John took these photos almost fifty years ago when he went to Vietnam between 10/1963-10/1964.

This first photo is from Khe Sahn:

John calls these elephants the original 4x4sjohn-vietnam3

I think this ‘4×4’ would have been the most practical for getting places quickly.john-vietnam4

Updates Mid Wednesday

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

Ann and I had a ‘date night’ Tuesday night, so I didn’t get anything done.

Early Friday morning I plan to head for Portland where I’ll drop by the MVPA convention. I’ll spend a few hours there and then head north (via Herm’s place if he’s around — still have to call him). I’ll be in Seattle for at least a week. During the first week of August I’ll be dropping by the FC Event in Tacoma.

I’m half done tightening up the book (have dropped about twenty pages) and cleaned up bad transitions, dealt with a few logic problems, and fixed a variety of errors.

No Updates Tonight

No updates tonight.

I will be in Seattle for a week or more at the end of July, beginning of August. I’m pulling Biscuit’s engine and replacing the TH350 tranny for a T-18 (still have to locate that). I’ll also be dropping by the Northwest FC Get Together in Tacoma in early August.

On my way to Seattle, I was hoping to drop by the MVPA’s international convention in Portland (July 25-27th), but now am not sure whether I’ll have the time or not. Anyone going to that?

The kids leave on WEdnesday, so I’ll save most updates until after they leave. Then, I’ll start into the final updates for the book.
