A few miles south of the Isle of Wight a huge Allied armada waits. 5000 ships and craft of all types and sizes, filled with 154,000 troops, it lies like a coiled spring. Waiting. Waiting for the weather to clear. Waiting for Ike to say the word that will launch the largest amphibious assault in history. The men onboard are cold and bored and seasick. And disappointed. They were supposed to have gone today. For us, looking back, an extra 24 hours of wait time doesn't seem like a big deal. We don't feel the ennui, nor the storm, the wet, the cold, the heaving of the vessel or smell the puke as our comrades lose it over the side. How many times can you check you gear? Sharpen your knife or strip your weapon? War is a dull business for them right now. And they have no idea when they'll go. If at all. But now we know... That in a matter of hours the coiled spring will leap into action. And the British Pathfinders will jump and the US 101st and 82nd will step out into thin air or board their gliders. And all those ships carrying the Canadians and Americans,the Brits, Free French and a bunch of Poles will finally point their bows toward the beaches code named Sword, Omaha, Utah, Juno and Gold. D Day is tomorrow. I hope that we never get bored, like the troops and sailors and airmen are right now and forget what an unimaginably huge event this was. Thanks

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
