all work...

coe truck

i've been working too many hours this week. the extra hours should be ending about tomorrow. 

i've missed playing with my pictures. slept in late both days this weekend. didn't bother with the grand nationals...big show, too many people; i just have never gone to that one. i am enjoying seeing everyone else's pictures.

xmas tree came down today. better half's mom finally said it was time. what a pita...so many lights they put on the branches...i helped until i got a headache...hadn't had lunch yet.

waiting to go to the super cruise next week. on my little bro's birthday. too bad he moved to the other side of the states. guess i could make a cake and we could face time it to him, show him how much we're enjoying his bday cake. that might be too mean.

guess i'll spend the rest of today watching the clouds and sifting through pictures to post. rained very hard earlier, but looks like the clouds have blown away. planes are still flying pretty low, on their way to lax...must be pretty windy up there.

purple rein

i've seen this truck before. also saw it somewhere else, but didn't like where it was located, and passed it by.

but here, the big, tough truck, in front of trees full of flowers, and no one around, how could i not take that shot?

i didn't get to the braybrooks show, so i made the best of the day, and hit this high school show and another in whittier. this one had a live band playing oldies, under the hot sun, on the back of a flatbed semi truck. pretty good show too. seemed pretty proud of their guitars too.

too many hoods up. i suppose i should have taken another shot of redd's plymouth back there, but he didn't even say hi, so whatever. j/k. didn't like the shade on it.

pug

this was a different truck. don't see too many of these around, though i did find other pics of this one on the web at other shows. apparently its a coe or cab over engine model, hence the shortened front end. but, to me, it reminds me of those purebred dogs or cats that look like they've run into a wall and have no nose. at least in a monster like this, you'd feel safer than driving in one of those "smart" cars; in an accident, i'd place my money on this one and still being able to walk.

the owner was a nice guy too. very happy to let you have a good look around the thing. thanks for moving out of the way, but i don't remember the guy standing next to me, if you can see me in the bumper. i think he owned the red muscle car you see reflected on the side. i didn't take any pictures of his car. psst. dude, close your hood – maybe i'd think about it.
