Keep on truckin’

The walk around Ellicott City Wednesday took an unexpected turn and I headed up Main Street north of the downtown area. I was shooting for my Thursday Doors update and came upon one of the new trucks at the West End Service – All Roads Trucks.

And the detailing. I’m a sucker for chrome and pinstriping designs.

They have done a nice job in this business location.

Of course, I had to throw on some Grateful Dead on the way home from the walk.

Truckin

Truckin by the Grateful Dead just happened to be the first song I listened to today. I looked at the monitor and the last photos I was editing mid-day yesterday were the following so I thought it was too much of a coincidence not to post them.

Don’t worry, it’s supposed to rain the next few days so I won’t be adding to the collection of 4 wheel images. I have to say I’ve enjoyed a few car shows this summer and plan on attending more as I tinker with my own ride.

Opportunity knocks and I’m going to respond. I have my health, well most of it. I have a few hours over the next few days, the job that pays the bills ended for the week, and now it’s hobby/craft time starting tonight.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Sometimes when I think I know someone, I’m sometimes proved wrong.
  • I’m looking forward to the smile and hug of my granddaughter tomorrow morning.
  • Most of us get pretty good at recovering from disappointment over our lifetimes.
  • Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were a tight band.
  • Everyone has a combination. Twist and turn them, push the right sequence of buttons and one of two doors will open. If you have been good to that safe, it will reward you. If you haven’t that’s called Karma.
