For me the holiday season was always the most rewarding time of the year as a child interested in hunting. I had every issue of deer and deer hunting magazine to fill in during the non-holiday months. But hearing and seeing hunting as a kid can never be replaced..those memories will stick with you the rest of your years. During Christmas and Thanksgiving, we started a tradition. My Grandfather, God rest his soul, used to sit down after the meal and tell us of all the deer hunting stories he remembered growing up. For me their was no better story teller that lived. Anyhow, I took the sergeant up on the deal he offered. After three months with the 101st in Dak To and Tuy Hoa, I was sent on a temporary duty assignment (TDY) near the DMZ to learn field station operations from the 8th Radio Research Unit at Trai Bac Station in Phu Bai. From there it was off to Pleiku where we worked first in support of the 25th Infantry Division and later the newly arrived 4th Infantry Division.

The Internet was an invaluable tool, used in our restoration project. The new engine was found, and ordered online from a company in Arizona. He found the best buy on "Fatman" suspension by being able to shop all over the country, with just the click of the mouse. http://www.i-newswire.com/rough-country-announces-hybrid/55682&rct=j&q=&esrc=s Considering cost of living in her area in the seventies, her income was suitable. A new home could be purchased for $25,000. A postage stamp rose from $0.06 in 1970 to $0.15 in 1979. I asked my mother if she could recall some prices of the decade. She remembered bread being $0.29, gas $0.74 a gallon, candy bars $0.05, soft drinks $0.10-0.15 a bottle in the early seventies and in the late seventies prices started to rise. She remembered cigarettes costing $1.00 a pack, cracker $0.29, milk $1.00 and most canned goods $0.10. See RSR Motorsports aim for their first Daytona victory on Friday, Jan. 25. The 2.5-hour race will kick off the GRAND-AM season, with the green flag scheduled to wave at 1:45 p.m. EST. But there is certainly good news for those who just have no idea where to celebrate the holidays. You see, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum is actually inviting everybody for a big event. The event is to actually celebrate the arrival of the new year, 2007. Come the last day of this year, 31st of December, there would be a celebration and an event which the museum dubbed as "A Classic New Year's Eve". No, the museum is not going to give away some of their cars or even some of the Custom buy truck or car parts at the very least. It is perhaps a way of saying thank you to all those auto lovers and to all of the public who has wholeheartedly supported the auto museum through the year. To digress a bit, I need to tell you that Sgt. Grace lied. First, the language I was assigned to study was Vietnamese. Second, after going through the 101st Airborne Division's jungle combat school in Phan Rang, I was assigned to the 1st Brigade, a reactionary unit. I joined them in Dak To, and early the next morning was flown out to join an artillery battery in what was called "Operation Eagle Bait". Didn't take long to find out we were the bait, and Charlie was the eagle. The objective was to tempt the Viet Cong into attacking us, then bring in an assault wave of Huey's loaded with infantry, and wipe the enemy out. What I quickly discovered is that there is nothing in the world comparable to the first night you are brought out of a deep sleep by M-60 machine gun fire. In the local automotive arena, decline in gas prices seem to benefit GM most. The automaker's truck sales surged by 32.9 percent. DaimlerChrysler truck sales were up by 11.1 percent. Jeep and Dodge received most of the gains. Jeep auto parts are proving what they are worth in Liberty and Commando. Consequently, Dodge truck parts are still preferred by many truck enthusiasts. However, if you would like to get more out of the auto museum, you may also want to purchase the Auburn Inn overnight package which is for $129.99 but this would be good for two people already.
