Big steel small truck

Posted August 21 2008 01:18 PM by Willys

Take one 40 year old 17-ft long M715 that likes to overheat. Drive it 20 miles across the 95 degree desert (which means 110 degrees in the truck)- all to pick up a piece of 20 ft long steel to be used to modify the...

The Driveway is now full

No more space

Posted August 21 2008 09:58 AM by Willys

Well, I've been testing the '08 Grand Cherokee diesel for about 5 months now. I've got about 8000 miles on it, and I have used it for towing Jeeps all over. However, all this time I've been borrowing...

Later Sunday/ Monday pictures

A few more fire pictures

Posted August 19 2008 11:48 PM by Willys

So, I didn't want to inundate the blogs with all the pictures at once. Fire equipment was all packed up and gone (or 90% of it anyway) by late afternoon yesterday. Here's some additional pictures I shot and...

Fire at JPete's place.

Wildfires Strike

Posted August 18 2008 10:16 PM by Willys

Instead of pulling an LT-1 out of a Caprice on Sunday, I got to pack up what was most important to me and load the 715 for evacuation due to a wildfire within a mile of my house.

Posted August 15 2008 05:35 AM by Willys

So what was it... 3 nights ago I didn't get home from work until 2 am? Today I decided to head into work at 2am. Yep, I'm just like that sometimes.

So you might have noticed that I didn't put up a blog yesterday... I couldn't find anything to blog about... and by the time I did I was in no shape to be near a computer.

When did you get home?

2 in the morning.

Posted August 13 2008 02:21 AM by Willys

So, we have to do one blog a day. The higher ups think we are that interesting (in a pheasant under glass kind of way, I'm sure) that they want us to do one each working day. We really aren't that interesting,...

New-to-me Jeepster

Another one followed me home

Posted August 11 2008 10:25 PM by Willys

So, I've been all about downsizing my fleet for the last couple of months. Entertaining silly offers on many of my Jeeps that I'd not have entertained before because I now have 5 Jeeps at my house, and 4 elsewhere...

What is wrong?

Jeeps I saw today

Posted August 8 2008 11:23 PM by Willys

I saw a bunch of crap today that made me question where the Jeeping world is going. And then, at the end of the day, somewhat at wit's end, I saw a license plate that snuck by the CA DMV and made it much better.

Jeep repairing overkill

Big Welder, Small Welds

Posted August 6 2008 10:56 PM by Willys

So, I've been a Lincoln Electric guy my whole life. I was taught on an AC/DC buzzbox unit by a friend's father who also happened to weld gas pipelines. That was 15 years ago if it was a day (I've only been...

MSN yields to the Quake

EARTHQUAKE!!!!!

Posted August 5 2008 10:28 PM by Willys

I've said MSN sucks for years. There are so many issues in getting the page to load or the email to load that I just don't use it half the time, and use other better pages. But when it screwed the pooch with...

2 Gallons of Margarita

Margarita Fridays

Posted August 4 2008 11:11 PM by Willys

Maybe it is a Southern California thing... I mean, back home, I didn't stop work at 5pm promptly on Friday just to have margaritas. But since coming out here, I've been invited to many a Margarita Friday. I...
