shaggin’ wagon

getting ready to head over to the latin gents' monthly show. going to shoot some sunset pics for a change. then maybe dinner at disneyland. by myself. single-rider pass on a ride or two maybe. better half staying home playing with a camera, and then going to the market, supposedly.

hoping to get up early and drive out to pomona in the morning. doesn't look like rain at all. probably next week, when mooneyes happens.

saw this wagon up at the end of the street at the old memories ela veteran's day show. was still getting shined up the first time i wandered past. fortunately, i went up and down the street a few times.

pretty car. not quite positive about the year. that's typical. sometimes, people actually send an email and let me know. sometimes, i won't even guess. 

green with touches of red—that's about as xmasy as i'm going to get. i think i'll print it out and hang it with others on my cube walls at work.

chopped liver

saw this and thought, "wtf?" it is interesting. the seat must be down on the floor to drive it, no?

----

got my test results back. they found nothing, but there is something going on. i can opt for a second opinion, someone else who will ask for more tests, or just wait and see. i think i'll wait a bit. i'm really tired of the vampires taking my blood every few months anyway.

going fishing?

this is the second time i've seen an old chevy with a fishing pole attached. is it a thing? maybe it used to be a thing back in ye olde times? pretty sure they aren't going fishin' after the car show.

other than that, love the car. even the pinstripes.

bo huff was a pretty good show. i'd recommend getting up before the sun rises to find a good parking place. weather was perfect; sunny, clear skies, no breeze to blow my hat off my head, a zillion cars.

today it's sprinkling. glad i'm not driving home from thanksgiving vacation anywhere. but if it really gets raining, it will screw up the morning drive pretty good tomorrow. so yay.

braces

this cadillac kinda looks like its smiling, but it has braces. and the big bullet things are the big metal things that hook up to the head gear.

wishing that guy behind the other caddy could have kept out of his cooler and out of my shot.

happy dance

got up early and drove to riverside today. as usual, not early enough.

did not know the bo huff show was going to have as many cars as there were. we left after noon, got something to eat down the street, and still saw old cars heading for the show. so i'm busy sorting them and trying to figure out which are my favs. no one really talked to me, so there aren't any i promised to do for a change.

so for now, posting this one from st hilary's in september. early, empty parking lot. overcast skies and wonky trees. and a fleetline. happy dance.

fun land?

so the beginning of the holidays. so the beginning of my annual crap attitude. don't know why. just don't care about the holidays anymore. just want to hide until they are over.

but i do like the time off. i have so many deadlines at work right now. thought about logging on and getting some of it out of the way, but decided not my fault they are letting all that work pile up; i was going to have a long weekend too. i'll be stressed out on monday, but oh well.

anyway, i've spent a couple of days watching game of thrones again. relatives are visiting, and they've put up the tree and wrapped the zillion lights on the branches. they're all helping my mother-in-law throw up christmas all over the house. i don't even want to go shopping.

nice truck. don't think i've seen it before. i really just liked how it looked from here.

still trying to figure out why, or is it how, that business could be called childrens dental fun land. some of those words just don't jive together. or if i let my imagination run...for starters, i envision slides and bounce houses with dentists chasing kids with pointy instruments; maybe closer to a stephen king novel, with dentists instead of clowns...

topless

last shot of the day. an old memories car sitting in the parking lot. 

pretty car. guess if you're hosting the party, you can't compete for the prizes, right?

hero

another from the old memories show. this guy was honoring his father, a veteran of WWII. he's there in the flag case, in front of the car. no, no, just a picture and a flag, not the ashes.

he can order a print here.

caramel

getting late again...how does that keep happening? gotta get some sleep, gotta get stuck with a big needle tomorrow. i think i'm stalling going to bed...maybe morning won't get here so soon...

i had a whole story in my head earlier, and now it's completely flown from my head. so i'll just let this picture do the talking.

here comes the sun

found this guy waiting way too long to be told where to park his car. sitting in the middle of the street, not much around him, sun coming up behind him. after waiting almost too long, i decided to get a few shots, and hope they didn't move him before i was done. liked this one best. if he happens to want a print, he can order one here.

he was none too happy that they left him sitting so long, but i didn't mind. find your happiness where you can, right?

tired, so i'll shut up now and get some sleep.
