    It's Sunday ! .

    Did I make a previous post ? :confused: .

    Cruise from Corona , Ca. , @ 06:00 , meets up on Main St. right off the 91 Fwy .

    The show proper is at the Gympsum Canyon O.R. of the 91 freeway , gates open @ I dunno when , prolly 'round 08:00 .

    Always plenty of trucks of all types there to look at (or buy) .

    Cherries , Show Trucks , Beaters (ahem) , Hot Rods , Low Riders , Work Trucks , RACE TRUCKS even .

    Plus of course , lots of families having fun , kiddies running around smearing ice cream on their faces , LOUD music , vendors in shady tents selling their newest wares , plenty to see and do , or just sit and relax in the shade with the always pleasant breeze .

    I hope to remember to load up my folding chairs this year :rolleyes: .

    It looks like Charles will be there , my big brother and I too ~ he usually drives the Hearse .

    Y'all Come now , y' hear ? :) .

    I'm almost ready to go.

    Did not get to replace the side rails maybe need time or have it ready for the Primer Nationals which is named something else these days.
    Tire shop could did not have all the items for the Aluminum rims so the white ones stay on for now they also did not get in the center caps for the spares.
    I think I may bring along the JD wagon to old the ice chest

    Those guys are great, in and out with a product without any issues attached to it.
    I may go for the duals, I have a matched set of YF's waiting to go on . First I got to stop that oil leak. See yo tomorrow.

    Bummer

    Here I sit @ 06:17 @ SWMBO's house , I just took a pain pill and I won't be going this year :( .

    Yesterday it was well over 100? F so naturally I was out on an acre of asphalt working om my Metropolitan Nash FHC most of the day in El Monte , Ca. .

    I got a lot of things done (! Radio again !) but by the time 3:30 rolled around and I threw in the towel , I gad a nasty gash on my arm and looked like someone had tossed a bucket of white paint on me from all the salt stains I'd sweated out .

    Hopefully next year I'll make it .

    Sorry guys , being old isn't always a picnic .

    Just now arrived and put away all the goods we took there. Sadly, Not many pic's to post, Virginia's camera has to high res to up load to here. Kn owing that I only took some of Roberts truck and a couple of mine. May have to post only one shot at a time. After stepping off into a ground squirrel hole which caused my back to go into some nasty charley horse knots I was not able to walk around like I did the past years. There was one person there that stated he would send me pic's tomorrow if he can get them up loaded to his email. So we will see.

    Cool pictures, Charles. I never noticed that your truck carried its own set of chop sticks up front there. ;)
    Were there any good looking Gs there? (No, that's not a contradiction~)

    The others are not loading, only three anyway.

    I honestly did not see any G's, I think a 56 or 57 won something for paint or interior.

    Do a google search on 'image resizer for windows'. Works just fine for lowering resolution for posting, without losing too much for viewing.

    Thanks Russ,

    I had forgotten I had opened an account with them, here is the link to the few photos I took that day.

    After finding I had left my camera home and then stepping into the ground squirrel hole and tweeking my back so it hurt like hell walking around I really did not want to take any photos at all with her camera.
    The shot showing the light blue cooler is the cooler I won in the raffle they have, and most all the prizes were great, tv, tool, heavy duty shop vac, truck items , etc.
