I did see it, but to be honest I wasn't sure if it was a Ranchero or Elco. They both had wings like that.

Gotta tell you guys.
There ain't much better than doing the final prep on a truck you've been at for 3 years.
Was out driving the '61 around today. Then poppin back home and tweakin. Then out drivin again.
It's really getting sweet.

Morning SoCal!

Well it is Saturday and I'm still out in SoCal for work...gonna be here all weekend.

The good news is I fly home on Tuesday and then we fly as a family on Wednesday headed down to Marco Island Florida for spring break for 8 nights...WOOHOO!!!

Too bad I have to work tomorrow or I'd think about going to Fontana for the NASCAR race...but it is supposed to rain here tomorrow...so that may be interesting too!

Hope everyone has a great day and weekend!

Joe.

My brother Bob (r2millers) and his wife already have their fifth-wheel set up out there along with a half-dozen others. They go every NASCAR race that's there.

Maybe they'll be there an extra day this weekend.

I'm pretty disappointed in this so-called rain storm...didn't live up to the hype.

Rained up here pretty-good for a while, but the L.A. River didn't ever get more than about five feet in it here in Reseda.

Brother Bob just sent me a phone-cam photo from their "campsite" out at the Fontana Raceway, and they are around a fire, clear skys, and no wind. However, there are ankle-deep puddles all around, and some of their fifth-wheels are out in the middle of real-shallow "lakes".

That doesn't slow down their fun, however, as he said that earlier while raining they were sitting around the fire, UNDER AN EZ-UP!!

Don't think I'd do that!

Another cell just now beginning to pass through here....

Yes it is.
And believe me I've thought about it. But I have one of those jobs that you can't call in sick unless you arrange it ahead of time.
