Great to hear from you Joe! Just look at the trip as a great adventure. You now have more stories to tell.
Beautiful house.

Now, pictures of your 65 and have your son post a recent picture of Betsy for us. We miss her.

 

I'm pretty sure our son has Betsy in storage right now, so pics of her probably will have to wait.

Here's my '65 F250:

 

That's nice!!

 

Hey Joe,
Stella still has California plates.... Looks like she wants to come home!
I don't think she'll like snow...just saying..

So are you going to try to get the same vanity plates in Virginia?
Awful pretty, even if it is one of those new fangled models.

 

Very nice, Joe. Welcome to Virginia!

 

Thank you sir. I'm quite happy with it.

I have not taken many pics of the truck since we moved, so those were taken while still in the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia. And those plates were for the PO's mom, so when I first registered it in CA I sent him back the plates. I bought it in September and we moved in November. Didn't have CA plates on it very long.

I registered here with Antique plates, which has driving restrictions but does not really interfere with how I drive it. The state offers over 200 different personalized plates as well. I originally registered with a personalized Vietnam Veterans plate and registered for 3 years, which cost less than 1 year in CA. When I switched over to the Antique vehicle plate which costs only $50 and is permanent, the state refunded the difference in price... something like $135. Fat chance of a refund from the PRoK.

Here's my current plate:





Thanks! I love it here. I have recently taken up beekeeping, which is interesting and exciting.

I haven't updated it in a while either.

 

Nice to hear from you Joe


I'm glad you were able to get settled in out in Virginia. thanks for the update and the pics of the 65

Thanks and you're welcome.

 

Decided to take Betsy for a walk today.




First morning commute with Betsy.

 

It's good to see her on the road again after so many months in storage. Cool beans.

 

The top of the cab appears to be turning brown over there in Virginia.... the stake bed has some sort of stakes on it too...

Ben, Betsy decided to stay in California. She didn't think she would like Virginia so she ditched Joe.

I noticed the brown top as well. I was going to look for old pictures before I said anything. I figured my memory was fading. So, what's up with the brown top? It that the future color?

 

I couldn't help myself. I had to check for an older picture.
I had to go back to December 2015 to find a picture that included the roof and it wasn't brown then.

 

I would guess someone is starting to prep Betsy for a repaint.
