It was a fun, if long, day. However the company was great and a pile of work got accomplished in warm surroundings. It sure beat an unheated barn with dingy lighting. The food that Machine Gun Mary cooked up was great even if the sauce didn't make the cut with Stewart. I was happy to be fed two meals. That neat bearing pusher that Charlie made on the spot was great and I will definatley be using that idea again. It saved a large amount of disasembly. The best part of the night was when Stewart climbed into the engine compartment to work on the steering and I almost closed the hood. He actually fit in there as though it had a "1 Stewart Power plant"

As he says the Jeep stuff is very toy like compared to CMP and Carriers. The funniest part was step one in the manual for engine removal. "Pull on hood latches to release and open hood and lean against windshield" Just how dumb were the motorpool GI's
