Mark, I've run across several from Indiana who spent time at Ft. Hood. It is a major place to say the least. When I worked in the Falls and McLennan Co. areas (Marlin and Waco) as a Deputy, we could hear and feel the rounds being fired on the "practice fields". My oldest son started as a Firefighter with Killeen, and is now a Lt. with the Copperas Cove F.D. You're right about the cold and the snow being a lot different. Oh, and Texans DEFINITELY don't know how to drive on ice, snow, and rain!! I stay at home when it snows or freezes. There is a little crown to most roads, but not as much as other places. Like you said, there is a lot of build up of oil on the roads, as there is not much to wash it off, but when it does rain, it's BAD. I was stationed at Lackland in San Antonio, then at Laughlin in Del Rio, and is what educated me there were warmer places than Indiana! I'm just outside of Hearne, which is about 60 miles S. Of Waco. We do get some of the colder weather here, as well as some of the hottest. A lot of vegatation, so it is a bit more humid. We had SNOW last Easter!! Knocked out power, and closed roads, businesses etc. This really was a snow, as it took down BIG trees, and actually had snow build up of 2-4 feet on the roads. Take care, and stay in touch. Not sure how far down you get in Texas, but if near this area, let me know, and maybe we can stop off for a "glass of tea", and some good BBQ someplace.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
