We took all the girls out to the Buckley Log Show this weekend and they were a huge hit. There is nothing like lots of heavy steel to attract attention.

Well friends and followers, it's been 11 months since our last post. Have no worries; we are still here and kicking!

After our acquisition of the trailer last year, our little business began to grow faster than we had ever anticipated. We created some new products that started to sell faster than Soldier A could ever think of producing them. That was totally unexpected. Success can test one's strength as surely as the sharpest steel.

The down side of our little success is the lack of time to work on Ramona, Soldier A's dream girl. So, she just sits patiently in the back yard awaiting attention. 

As for current events, we now have a 5 ton! She is a 1986 M923a1 named Tiffany. Why Tiffany you ask? Well, most everything we do has some type of history and Tiffany does for sure. She is named in honor of William Tiffany, a New York aristocrat that put aside the family fortune to join Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders and fight in Cuba. Tiffany covered Roosevelt's final charge up the San Juan Heights with a Colt automatic machine gun Model 1895. He was one of Roosevelt's finest.


But, as so often is the case, Tiffany was a victim of the government system and died of malnutrition and exposure as a result of the poor supply and planning of that administration. So, our Tiffany is a tribute to a great American serviceman. 

And she is home with us now:)
