I was telling some of you about a 40 sitting in a cow pasture down the road from my dad. We are going to try to talk him out of it. Since it has been sitting for decades, it is probably all shot so it will end up being molested with american parts. It could end up being a fun little buggy project!
You maybe surprised I've seen many resurrected and brought back to life with the right patience and time. My 67 was sitting up in an oil field companies lot. A night with it with the help of some headlights a new battery and carb accelerator pump and I got it running and drove it a couple miles down the road and made it home. Of course it was leaking from everywhere but a few chapters later and I was driving it around town
maybe. We've done a little tractor work for him and I kinda inquired about it last time. I am hoping we can get it free and do something with it. At least keep him away from a heep.
So Larry when you going have that 40 up and running?
Man, when it rains it rains, now it needs to stop!
Ryan, did you show him the video yet of you going up that wall? Does he still think a stock heep can do that? 
Get him in that 40!!! 
Get him in that 40!!!
Yeah, he watch it. All he said is "how much are we going to have to fix?"

I bought a 71' 40 when I was 17. I had to cut my way through the high grass just to see the thing. It sat for 9 years without being started. I changed out the condenser for less than 2 bucks and it fired right up.
More rain, more ducks.

WBFF FOX45 - Top Stories - Soldier's Family Says Death Could Be Avoided - Michael Buczyner
Thats a heart felt and tragic story Ryan. I'm so sorry for your families loss. Just no reason why one of our own that sacrificed 4 tours over there couldn't get the medical attention he needed. It really angers me to say the least. I'd like to discuss ideas with the club at the meeting and see if we can maybe do something for your sister and his girls for Christmas if it would be ok with you.

THE TAX SYSTEM EXPLAINED IN BEER
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100...
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this...
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7..
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do..
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the
arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. "Since you
are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of
your daily beer by $20". Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So
the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what
about the other six men ? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that
everyone would get his fair share?
They realised that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted
that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each
end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's
bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of
the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts
he suggested that each should now pay.
And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued
to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare
their savings.
"I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving," declared the sixth man. He
pointed to the tenth man,"but he got $10!"
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar
too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!"
"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back, when
I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get
anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat
down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill,
they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between
all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how
our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will
naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack
them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact,
they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
