Just A Couple of Updates

March 17, 2018 • CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I’m in Salt Lake for a couple days, spending time with my kids. Karson took me mountain biking on Antelope island, which sits in the Great Salt Lake. He managed not to kill this semi-out-of-shape old man. But, it’s clear he is in better shape than I. Here are a few photos.

Ready to ride

Yep, we’ve been riding uphill for quite a while … yep, those are bison ahead. I am too tired to outrun them at this point. My hope was that they would take pity on me and not chase me down.

We made it to the top of a hill. That’s the Wasatch Front in the background. Most of the rest of the trip was downhill.

Jeep Commercial: 66 Years of fun

March 16, 2018 • CATEGORIES: videos This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: I ran this post back in 2010. I think it’s time for a repost.

If this commercial played on TV, I must have missed it.

On a tangential note (and a completely skippable one), one of the shots in the movie appears to show Jane Goodall with some chimpanzees. My tech company did a co-project with her and ESRI (the Microsoft of mapping software) for an ESRI event in San Diego. Long story short, we had a party after the event and rented a sushi restaurant. It turns out .. well … let’s just say she’s not a fan of eating fish (she’s a serious vegetarian I believe). OOOPPPSS! I’m not all that sure she really likes people either, but perhaps it was an off day for her (though I ended up sneaking her out of the back of the restaurant; but that’s another story). So, the tip of the day is, if you invite Jane to dinner, don’t serve Sushi!

Anyway, enjoy the video:

Wooden Toy Jeep

Geoff wants to let folks know about a friend of his who makes wood jeeps. If you are interested, email Fred at fredmaybee@Yahoo.com. It looks good!

“The following pictures are of a wooden Jeep that I had purchased from a local gentleman. He charges $30 plus shipping per copy for common wood. Prices go up depending on the choice of specialty species of wood, to cover the cost of the raw materials.”

15th Annual FC Roundup March 23-25

March 16, 2018 • CATEGORIES: Event, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: The FC Roundup starts next Friday! I can’t believe we are already approaching late March!

15th ANNUAL JEEP FORWARD CONTROL ROUNDUP
March 23-25, 2018 1600 W. Colter St. Phoenix, Arizona 85015

This is your personal invitation to the “Most Excellent” FC-Only event. We invite all FC Owners and friends of Jeep Forward Controls.

It is our pleasure to invite you, with or without your Vehicle. This is where you will see some of the best authentic and original restored, ongoing projects or modified FC and FleetVans. You can learn a lot in a weekend, see the Military models of FCs, take detailed pictures, talk to other owners. Bring your FC items, toys, memorabilia, photos, artwork, literature, and manuals to display. See new FC related products and parts and special tools. FC Roundup event hats, T-shirts, will also be available. There is no charge for the event.

We are always so very grateful for your donation of any FC related items that are given away during the Saturday afternoon free raffle. Also on Saturday are the large BBQ Hot Dogs and much more, for lunch. Free refreshments daily. One of the best things that happens everyday, is that you are also invited to drive your FC / FleetVan or you might ride in an FC. We have FC-Only groups that cruise to and from breakfast and dinner.

It is important that I mention that our weekend is a very busy time for the Phoenix area, the best weather, Spring Training, and many other events. So book your hotel, before they are sold out. The nearby Grand Canyon University, (GCU Hotel on the internet) is the favorite. The 502 Hotel is now closed down. There are other hotels along the NW light rail route that comes from the Phoenix international Airport. Call me for transportation from the Montebello / 19th Ave. light rail terminal stop and for more information about anything, contact me.

Pretty much everything has been fixed does have some rust under the toolbox and a little bit in the front floors. I didn’t do anything to the body because I thought it has great patina and looks good as it is. Lots of stuff has been done to this Jeep feel free to message me if you have some questions or want to get some more specifics. It comes with a clear title in my name and has a brand new bestop tiger top installed. $4800.00”

“1942 Press Photo Group of girls driving a jeep drove pass 16-inch shells stack. This is an original press photo. Women At Home On The (Firing) Range Women who just a short while ago thought of a range as something to cook on and powder as something to pat on their faces are now doing the work of men on the firing range at the Army Ordnance Department’s providing grounds at Aberdeen, Md. They don’t just fool around with the light work, either. They fill shells with powder and prime them. They run huge cranes to assemble the big guns. And they load, clean, and fire everything from Garand rifles and Tommy guns to the big railroads guns. A group of the girls riding the range in a Jeep pass a huge stack of 16-inch shells. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 06-06-1942.”
