A Drive Home and a Model A

It is our rainy season. So on the way home one day I saw this stuff.

My wife got a much better picture of this.

This was on a different day.

Catch Up 2: My Last Days @ JDL

A tall truck. Wasn't prepared.


I finally got a good picture of this truck off of Fretz in Edmond.

Cougar.

A couple of nice landscapes in Nichols Hills.

Travelin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load.... This house was covered with plastic when I first got him. And now that I got a good view of him you'll see all the plastic is gone. Sorry I missed the good shots of the plastic coming off into oncoming traffic. The pilot truck didn't even care.

I think this is the same Cougar I have pictured previously. Well maybe its a Buick. In fact I'm pretty sure its a buick or a olds now.

Silver Ferrari.

Catching Up 1: Langston & southern of Lake Arcadia

One of my last trips was to Langston University, which is in Langston, Oklahom between Perkins and Guthrie. So here are some pics of the University and Langston. I don't know if its a requirement but only those of African ancestry attend.

This old abandoned house looked awesome unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of it.

They had a lot of dingy dirty delapidated buildings in Langston. Here is one of them.

The Memorial US77 project this is the "keystone" of the bridge.

South view of the Arcadia Lake.

Various Cars and Speed Humps

It seems I haven't gone anywhere very exciting or different lately. Well, I've been lucky to even leave the property but here are some nice cars I've seen around.

Favourite Corvette

Pretty Chevy Truck

These first three happened all on the same day and on the way to work.

Beware! Speed Humps! Don't let 'em get you! Norman's speed control.

Who's Cadillac is that?

This one didn't turn out too well but at the end there is an old blue Volvo.

Lambourghini!

Tinker AFB

Got Gate?
Uh, Gott Gate actually.

Commercial Truck Entrance. Get out, show me your id, open the hood and any compartments you have and step away from the truck.

Runway.

Planes off the tarmack.

This is an apartment off Sooner Road where I served with Elder Story in Midwest City for a short time.

Three different planes landing at the base.

Getting onto the freeway.

Convoy and an Old Chevy

I had one delivery today. Oh I was so going out of my head that I had a headache. Actually the headache is from the heat, I'm sure. So I saw a convoy of military vehicles.

And this old chevy (or is it a Cadillac?).

Stuff and July 8th

This Stuff is from today. Driving home from lunch I got this truck. It isn't a very good shot but I like the truck. The body wasn't on the chassis last week.


My load of scrap metal. I forgot to take pictures of the scrap yard, but they got a big claw on a trackhoe and picked it up. They didn't get all of it and they tried to get the rest but they couldn't. Yesterday I was talking to Richard, who used to work with us, and he knew a guy at a scrap metal yard who was so good at those that he could pick up a penny on a bed of a truck with those things. Course, the guy here sprayed hydraulic oil all over my truck. Then he picked up an older cadillac and through it in the pile then ripped off the trunk hood. There was an old van that I used as target practice for the left over metal pipes. Mostly the front windshield which was already cracked and anything that hit it just made it crack more. Then I tried aiming for the back windows and just missed them. But when I left I found a big motor that fit in my hand and tossed it at the back windows and it contacted and the glass shattered and all of the glass fell inside the van (btw the van was laying on its side).

Oh I forgot to tell you where this metal came from. We have a large green house which we call the Gutter Connect (because it is several houses all connected into one with gutters in between all of them). It is old and was falling apart. Last wind storm we had really tore down one side so we contracted somebody from Alabama I think to fix it. They did but they left all the old metal behind so we had to find way to get rid of it.

I drove by this house. I love the blue door and the blue shutters, that's about it.

The Memorial Park by Dignity on Memorial and Kelley. A lot of the Memorial Parks here in Oklahoma are really fancy.

Yesterday, July 8th.

I liked this little patio.

This side isn't as cool.

I liked the grand entry way with the covered "hall" to the front door with a similar idea on top.

St Elijah church.
