Bay Area pickups

Richard Handlen (an old friend who lives in the Bay Area) shares my love for old pickup trucks and shared a couple of photos.

He spotted this beauty (above) at the Green River Brewing & Taproom Car Show in Winters, CA.

And he found this monster at the Napa Porchfest (blocks and blocks of singers and bands, performing from yards and porches.

Old cars and trucks

Once a month during the summer, people bring their vintage cars and trucks to the local mall for a sort of mini rally. Very little organization but I consider that a feature. People sitting around in lawn chairs, strolling up and down, peering into engine compartments. Didn’t see any other Land Rovers but didn’t really expect to.

Hauling trees in the pickup

Barb and one of her gardening buddies went tree shopping today and brought back four pretty big trees that probably wouldn’t have fit in the back of the Lexus. Getting them on the grown without damaging them was a bit of a challenger but Barb and I got ‘er done. A big strong man with mechanized equipment will be moving and planting. I do not know how I made it all these years without a pickup.
