Joyce and George open their home to a crew of stovebolters for a weekend of crawling through the local yards littered with vintage iron. Sometimes Mother Nature cancels the event like last year. Shortly, George our host will give us the local conditions, I'm going to guess Frankie's is on the muddy side. Here we will discuss the date, and other event planning, so if you're interested, bring a bed roll and join us! There have been several preliminary scout trips by several ODSS veterans, I know there is an engine to obtain and possibly an entire bed.

Anyone else want a 2016 update? John can get to the design these chilly mornings. I think we can find a better source than from CafePress. For now, just need to know if John needs to do the design. It'll take him a morning or two.

"If it's Cafe Press, it will be white". Or ash grey, right? Black or navy would be cool to since I trash the light colors so quick. I have two in rotation now that I'm not allowed to wear off the property....... Problem is, in cool/cold weather I wear a sweatshirt everyday. While your at it, maybe some more ODSS sweats with the big logo on the back?
Hope everyone had a nice weekend and Happy New Year!

You beat me to it!
I myself would like one, but will not be able to attend.
Can you say a "poser', like a person with a Harley T-shirt, but doesn't have a Harley.
I move that the powers that be, make the decision, on weather we can wear one or not and hopefully pick up it at Stovebolt HQ in April.
Thanks

Did you all do the sweatshirts on that year we weathered out? If so, I vote for the ODSS carhart shorts with sewed in adjustable wrench, punch, light and calipers, and the ODSS tank top. Nothing like a bunch of older-aged, gray-haired, (some bearded) in shorts and tank tops. hat uniform will surely result in cool weather, clear skies, and no snow.

I am not sure with whom you are planning to go to the junkyard and get flappy fenders a new bed. The ODSS is not a group of "older aged grey haired men" but rather a division of elite wrench men. We are like the A-team. Sure we conceal our lethalness but looking like the average group of Joes but I will be glad to join the tour in Hambone's "uniform" as long as he is leading the way wearing the sacred Stovebolt Thong.......
There I said it, let the imagination run wild!

By the way, the uniform will be the standard ODSS muumuu with Teva's... banana hammocks are optional. Cosmopolitan will be the only one authorized to wear accoutrements, ie. Fulton extraction rig.
