Regarding David's trip to Turkey - I am going to accompany him on this
trip - working now to design and build a floating platform to float above
truck and pump breathable air to driver, and to carry navigation beacon and
a GPS to keep on course, I will man floating platform and should be able
via satellite to keep every one on list advised of progress in the virus
fight...
regarding steering -- is a real delight to steer 38,000# M123a1 truck
tractor when engine is not running, almost as much fun as stopping same
truck which if engine not running --- no air has no brakes...
Been there, done that
Everette

Subject: [MV] Regarding frightened Turkey's fathers with power steering.
Friends,
I really don't care what the parking situation in Turkey is on Father's day,
or any other occasion. I have however removed all the drive flanges from my
deuce, two of the drive shafts and installed 47.00-20 tires, and a
Continental AVDS-1790, converted to run on rutabaga juice. I figure I can
drive to Turkey in an hour and 20 minutes, and burn half a can of V-8 to do
this. My only concern is will the border patrol want to verify I have a CDL
prior to my installing the VERY deep water fording kit before attempting the
trans-oceanic part of this trip.
