Picture of the Day for February 8, 2013

It may be sunny out today, a big change from the snow every day, but this old truck is keeping its eye on the weather and the approaching storm.

This truck is old enough to collect social security although it appears it has already been retired for a while. There are vent windows and the door handles are still the pull down style so it appears this is a 1951 Chevrolet 1 ton pickup as 1951 was the first year for the vent windows and by 1952, the door handles were push button. The hood side emblem states 3800 indicating a one ton load capacity. By 1954, the front windshield was a single curved piece of glass instead of the center vertical dividing strip.

Happy Labor Day to Everyone!

Growing up on a farm, Labor Day meant just that – a labor day. Since dad would be off work and we kids had no school, it was a time to catch up on the outdoor projects before the snowflakes started flying.

This year a brief rain shower this morning might prevent baling hay but there are plenty of other projects to do but I don’t think old ‘Bud’ will be helping this year as the old truck hasn’t outrun the wild cucumber vines and seems to be in retirement.
