Thanks for the tour.
Funny you mention that. My feet bother me a good bit from time to time and that weekend was one. I knew from the beginning the feet weren't going to feel too good by the end of the day. I was saying a golf cart may be in my future. I hope not, though. Walking is best.

One very impressive thing there is the quality of lettering and pinstripe on some of those trucks. It's the only time I've seen my buddy, who is an old school sign painter/trick paint artist, admire someone else's work. You can make it as good as you want if you're willing to pay. But, you have to find someone with that much talent first.

Another thing is the variety. Anything truck, from little Austin Bantam Panel truck that Mickey Mose could drive to that Mack off road dump. One feller brings several trucks down from Canada. That's no small feat!
