I actually enjoy going with Al on these car parts trips. We've been able to travel around a lot and have met so many great people. Occasionally I do stay in the car, if it's raining or if it's a particularly messy or dirty pick. But most of the time we have a fun time and try to add in some days for sightseeing and meeting up with friends in that particular area. Al usually doesn't mind going into the local antique shops but don't ask him to step foot in a mall.

And right about the time you get to sleep....some dummy yanks the truck door open and says "Wake up and go to sleep"

Theresa and I have a little get away coming up on Sunday. Back up to Franklin North Carolina to do some Fall Colors and do some pickin from a buddy up in the mountains.
Hopefully we can make a worth while trip up and gather up more goodies . I retired about 14 years ago from UPS in the St. Louis area. I think this hobby is getting to be a full time job !
I need to slow down and find better stuff and better parts cars. Anyway, I'll try to take some pictures of the trip and sites of interest along the way . Never know what pops up on the back roads of America !
It should be beautiful there this time of year. If we don't freeze to death !!!

Joe, the leaves ought to be right at peak when you get here. The Blue Ridge Parkway is completely back open now. Try not to stay IN downtown Asheville if you can help it. Too many bums and nut jobs! Have a safe trip.

Caption: Someone thinking, "all these parts represent HOW many dollars spent and we sell it all for what!?"
(There must be a reason we call it a hobby!)
Al thinking, "someone on FABO suggested buying a bigger trailer!"
Al saying " hey, I brought a trailer, bought a Valiant and filled it FULL!"
Fluffy the dog thinking " all this stuff and NO dog snacks!"
PS: Al and Co. find all the good stuff!!!!!
