Walter spotted these.

“I have 3 original OG OD green factory steel rims I’d like 2 sell. I scored ’em a while back off e-bay,…& lost the 4th one right @ the end of the auction,…hence I only have three. I was going 2 put ’em on my ’64 CJ 5,…but I have since sold that Jeep. These rims are solid,…a few licks w/a wire brush,…primer and paint & they will B good 2 go. They will fit any CJ or military Jeep of that era. No curbing that I have detected,…they look good and straight 2 me. I paid $75.00 each for them plus shipping. I’d like 2 get my money back out of ’em. I will consider reasonable offers. Plz contact me @ (910) 620-4494. Calls are better,…the display on my phone is jacked, so it’s hard 2 make out texts. Hope someone out there can use these,…I’m trying 2 clean out the garage. Thanks 4 looking. -K-”

Ooops … updates didn’t appear

I had updates scheduled to go out early on Monday morning, but they didn’t appear (related to changes I made to reduce resource use on my current server … grrrr).  So, I’ve just pushed them out manually tonight.

Meanwhile, tonight my internet is down.  So, I spent time researching and then playing around with the cover to my new book.  Everything on the cover could change — title, subtitle, arrangement, my pseudonym, colors  — I’m just working it through. Mom’s read the first draft and really enjoyed it. But, hey, it’s my mom. For fun here’s the book front cover draft, and I emphasize draft. Still lots of work left before its ready.

Lycoming Generator Ad on eBay

Lycoming developed a generator/starter for planes that fit in the back of a jeep.  I am guessing that this ad is probably from an aviation magazine, because I found an article about the Lycoming generator in the 1952 Aviation Weekly. Unfortunately, I  could only view a snippet of it in Google.  There is also a discussion of it at the CJ-3B Page.
