Re: M3 progress
Had a great weekend with Zelda! Went on my first Tactical. It was a blast and Zelda preformed great. Here is a cool shot taken on Sunday:

Ok Zelda, Well first off my bumper numbers are 8th Infantry, 12th Combat Engineer Battalion. The 8th and 12th fought together In WW2 Hurtgan Forrest, Battle of the Bulge and several other campaigns. I was in the 8th, 12th Engineers, so that seemed like a natural. So it kind of ties the past to the here and now. So I told that story to tell this one. I have a friend on our fire department who fought with the IDF Special forces. I was telling him about my track and I said the IDF used them, so he says "is that the one with the wheels in the front and the tracks in the back?" I said "yes" then he said "Oh a Zelda" Well there you go! I told him he just gave me the name for my halftrack. So it kind of ties everything together, WW2, my service in the cold war, and the halftracks life after the US Army! I asked him why Zelda? he believes it comes from the Hebrew word zadal (?) which means "to crawl" Of course now they call the 113's Zelda's now but the halftrack was first. So now you know!
