More accurately, I do maintenance at an RV park just outside Yosemite that just happens to have a General Store and gas station. I'm 6' 3" with longish hair and a full beard, they think they've met a *genuine* "Mountain Man"......

Just gotta live each day as if it had the "greatness" of a bygone era.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-26117032004294485672012-08-04T11:36:14.002-07:002012-08-04T11:36:14.002-07:00I guessed the same thing, a family photo. Perhaps ...I guessed the same thing, a family photo. Perhaps it was the very handsome boy's first job and Mom and Nana showed up to embarrass him as relatives do when visiting? <br /><br />I love these pics of the past. Life may have been just as difficult as it is day, but sometimes I look at them and sort of want to step-in and spend a day or so -ala Twilight Zone- in the Land of Long Ago.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714555278256576619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-40317552613242682372012-08-04T08:38:16.785-07:002012-08-04T08:38:16.785-07:00Love the truck!

Look at the lady on the left, she sure has the same nose as the kid! Guess I'm not very observant. Meanwhile, what's the deal with STP?

It's a wonderful lubricant thickener for every place <i>but the internal combustion engine</i>. Gums them up something awful.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
