Both Stephen and Adam Foster are joining the Army and will be leaving soon. Adam leave for Boot Camp on June 22, and he will return in August to finish High School.  Then he will return to the Army full time, as an Army M.P. at Fort Benning, Georgia.

 

Stephen will leave for Boot Camp on July 6th and is going to Fort Jackson, South Carolina for a 6 year tour in Satellite Communications.

 

Parents, Steve and Irene are very proud of both of their boys, but are scared to death.

Tyler Lewis Eagle Scout Project  - Tyler is on his way to Eagle Scout soon, and one of his last requirements is a community project.  We are zeroing in on a project to build about a dozen owl and bird houses at Goffs. If anyone is interested in contributing funds, materials, or time to install, it will be greatly appreciated.  This still needs to be approve by BSA council and Dennis, but it looks promising.   john@trailmasters4wd.com

   Monthly Fast Factuals  

(ok, this is from last month, but I lost my list of tid-bits.  As soon as I find it I'll get this updated.)

Duck Tape or Duct Tape?

OK, which is it, Duck or Duct?  It's BOTH! 

During WWII the US military needed a waterproof tape to keep moisture out of ammo cases.  J&J manufactured it, and because it was waterproof, it was called DUCK tape.  Of course it was good for lots of other stuff like fixing Jeeps, strapping equipment to clothing, etc.  After the war the housing boom was going on and someone discovered it was good for, you guessed it, joining heating ducts.  So, it was changed from military green to silver and named - DUCT tape.  Today there are lots of manufacturers of DUCT tape (and lots of different qualities from great to horrible)  The DUCK brand tape is manufactured by Henkel Consumer Adhesives and is known to be the most consistent in high quality. 

 


 

 

Raymond Davis - Well, some TLC is in order.  Motor Mounts, and also hopefully the Dana 44 can go in before vacation.

The Askier Mobile - There is still some more work to be done in the next few weeks to get it Dinky Creek ready.


High Desert Round-Up

Well, for the first time in years it has not been the HOT desert Round-Up.  Saturday it was quite cool and a little windy, but Sunday it was beautiful.  As usual, some went on a run on Saturday while others just sat and did some catching up.

 

Sunday the games were fun as usual.  John and Jane wills really go after those potatoes, and the Foster guys you can't see for all of the dust, in the stick and can race. Poor Ed and Kathy Crook, they looked like dirt ghosts when they were done for the day. Everyone had a great time.  Then Steve Foster came home with first place in the Back-Up Race, and Stephen won first place as passenger. Congratulations  !!
