Good Morning, Oppo

[ttyymmnn]

Yeah, I just got up. Mrs. Ttyymmnn has two weeks off, so we're sleeping in. Got some shopping to do, though, so gotta gas up and get going.

Hey, it's Christmas week, enjoy sleeping in when you can. Kid's will have you up at 5am on Friday.

The photo sent me down a rathole. The man on the left is General Clarence "Bill" Irvine.

For those interested, there are more photographs in General Irvine's collection.

There is even one with an early model B-17.

I have all teenagers now, so I don't think we'll be up all that early. This is the first time in 40 years I don't have to sing or play in church until 1 am. It will be nice not having to come home and build toys.

Pretty sure I've gone through that whole collection, and may be where I found this photo. I am systematically going through the entire SDASM library culling interesting photos. It's an absolute treasure trove. I've started a new series of posts on Wednesdays featuring these photos.

36 Ford coupe.

I'm 'working' today, although I think/hope most of my workmates aren't exhausting themselves.

Any idea on the bowser?

@ttyymmnn That's the fuel truck, right?

No solid idea, but I bet a lot of them were Diamond T. It appears to be from around 1930, older than the car.
