THIS is why we are here for each other.

Trucks n toys but also to look after one another.


My holiday just gets better every day.


Insomnia sucks. Been awake two hrs. Back killing me as well.

Best update some more then.

Thomas had a double garage filled with treasures. The last remnants of 10 years of sympathetically restoring the workshop.
The garage was being torn down when we got there.
He gave Dennis and I Carte Blanche to rummage and remove and have anything we needed or wanted there.

Heaven or what?



Number plates, an Early Chevy Valve cover thatI had been looking for for months and other treasures.





Thank you Thomas !!

Stopped for beer and gas on the way home.



Once we got home I unpacked the treasures.

Old piece for my very good mate Kevin who collects units of measurement. Tape measures, rulers etc.



Gorgeous Pontiac hood ornament.
Will be cleaned up and mounted then take pride of place in my display cabinet.



Said Chevy valve cover.

Those who know what they are looking at will see the offset fitting holes.......... and know what it means.



Treasures !!!!!

For my collection.



Once cleaned up, yes, just another dust collector to some. But what if I added in Bonneville Salt Flats to the description?



And lastly.......

Got to convert some 12Volt into 6Volt but this may be used somewhere.



So that concluded Saturday.

We did go out to Harry J's Steakhouse and had a massive Prime rib to share. Could never manage it alone.

Many beers consumed.

Then back home and another few hours in Dennis' shop.

This holiday just kept on giving.

Sunday plans included a Swapmeet, car show and more beer and mileage.

Note, they were plans.
