Capt. Joe's up the creek.

Actually Capt. Joe was up the river.

A few days ago, Capt. Joe, a member here of the CJ-3B Page, came up the Cape Fear River and docked in Wilmington, NC only 10 miles from my front door and my new Willys port. (carport)

I picked up Capt. Joe at the docks and we spent the better part of a day talking and looking at jeeps.

I took him to see a friend of mine, Dave Smith who just finished building a MB look-a-like all from aluminum and mounted it on a CJ5 frame. Dave, who owns a sheet metal shop did a wonderful job of fabricating the body. I'll take some pictures of the finished project.

After a lunch at my local hot dog joint,Paul's Place,

we spent a good bit of time at my house looking at my 1953 CJ-3B and my 1959 Willys Pickup.

If any of you has a chance to spent time with Capt. Joe, don't pass it up. Joe is a easy going, friendly guy with a knowledge of jeeps and more tha a few good stories.

Capt. Joe, thanks for making time to see me and you'll be welcomed back.

You two know that you're teasing the heck out of us here in Texas with the talk of BBQ & beer, not to mention Don's photos of the delicious looking hot dogs!

Don, you're absolutely right about Capt. Joe - having had some past dealing with him, he's a great fellow and a sure 'nuff real McCoy contributor to the 3B collector's throughout the globe!

Hmmmm, best I haed to the kitchen now!
