Hi KoO,
Enjoyed "the rocket" adventure, thanks for posting.

Must say you get better at telling these adventures each time. Now that your a "big time author" and all.

All that work on "the Hood" definately payed off:)

What are your plans for "the Rocket"??

Hey King,

I bought a D4-H high track last year that has a heater box on the right side that blows on your feet and legs. Don't know what I could do with that in Sunny California. Maybe I'll turn it on and contibute to global warming:D . I'm with Old M. thanks for the link to your great adventure.

thansk old magnet, THE HOOD worked excellent thansk to BBs like this with the knowledge of numerous people. if i knew everything, i would not live at the end of the world freezing my a** off in the month of april. the computer has made the world a small place with people like you helping guys like me out.
as for the story, i'll wait for a rainy or snowy day and write the written story on the adventure. of course a few beers will get the words flowing.

Koo,

I enjoyed your tale. I don't recognize the machine you rescued. What is it? Is it an IH ?

Great story.

yes doug, it is a td-9 with a BE overshot loader. very nice shape because it only built a 5000 foot runway.

KoO,

The History Channel "ice road truckers" series has just finished being shown the UK, I kept watching each week to see if the HOOD or BISMARK were featured but I was disappointed to see that you were over looked by the producers!
