 What am I going to do about my truck? Part One.


At some time in the past, somebody thought that this truck was worth
investing money in. Now it's my turn to make a similar decision.


I've written that my truck was starting to display some mechanical maladies at 185,000 miles.

I bought this truck new, back in 2007, and it will be twenty years old next year. This is my second longest ownership of a vehicle. The other was my '77 Sportster XLCR, also bought new and kept for 20 years.

 Now for some photos from East Jesus and Salvation Mountain.


Try, but you can't escape the weirdness.

You have to drive through Slab City to reach East Jesus, which is at the end of the road. Metaphorically as well as literally!

 Here is the newest addition to my stable.


I teased this photo a while back.
It's from the CraigsList for sale posting.

A 1999 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail.

 San Diego Museum of Air and Space.



This was the most interesting museum that I visited.

This museum is located next door to the automotive museum. I showed a few of the attractions in a previous post, but I'll share the rest of the photos that I took.

 My search for a modern antique motorcycle.


This VL is a real antique, early 1930's.


This Indian is a 1940's model.

These two bikes are legitimate antiques.

Photos from my San Diego trip. 

I have started to take my camera with me on my travels. The photos are nice to have to illustrate my posts, though some have become kind of photo heavy. I have accumulated a back log of pictures and I'm going to use them up in the next series of posts.


It's a long walk to the front entrance.

Balboa Park.

 Buying an antique vehicle shouldn't be a rash decision.

This rusted non running,VL was offered at 33,000.00.
Boy did I wish that I had the money!

Actually buying any vehicle shouldn't be a rash decision.
