More photos from the Niles Spring Fever car show.

Here's another photo of Rick's car. Forties are hot rod icons,
and it's easy to see why.

I just got home from my vacation after two days of driving. You might say that I'm taking the easy way out to constructing an entry, by simply posting pictures. That's sort of true, though I did work on some new posts while I was out of town.

 Rosebud.

If you have ever watched the movie Citizen Kane, you will remember his final dying words. He is in bed holding onto a snow globe, which falls out of his hands as he mutters the word, "Rosebud." Then he expires.

 Last weekend I actually participated in a car show!

Popcorn. We'll come back to this later.

The show was the Spring Fever car show, held in the Niles section of Fremont. It's a historic downtown type area that closes off several streets to allow the cars to be displayed.

A fresh paint job can be a critical part of a hobby car project.

Better line up the resources that you'll need, beforehand.

Dream Builds:  The Ironhead Sportster. 

We didn't refer to them as Ironheads back in the Old Days.

This is an older post that I wrote well before I bought my current motorcycle. I had been giving the subject of buying and modifying a Sportster quite a bit thought. I decided to run this while I'm in the process of cleaning out my files.

 Motorcycle Swap meet Sacramento.

I had been curious about this swapmeet for a few years. Sacramento is a good drive away, but as I said before, these events serve as my primary entertainment. My route would take me past my Son's house, so a couple of days before, I gave him a call and asked if he'd like to join me. He had been storing his and his Wife's bicycles at my house, so I asked if he'd like me to bring them up. He said that would be great, so I loaded them into my truck before leaving.
