Autocar-Diesel in truck graveyard

I went to a truck graveyard a couple weeks ago and foudn a treasure of 'old rust' that I will be going back propbably many times. Need to find me a warmer day to get there. This is an Autocar-Diesel with nice rust and extra paint.

The Autocar Company was started in 1899 in Ardmore, Pennsylvania as a manufacturer of brass era automobiles. They began manufacturing trucks in 1907 until 1953 when they were over taken by the White Motor Company.

Gettysburg Remembrance Day


The Muffled Drum’s Sad Roll Has Beat
The Soldier’s Last Tattoo.
No More On Life’s Parade Shall Meet
That Brave and Fallen Few.


Found on a plague at the Gettysburg Cemetery during Rembrance Day. 3,000 luminaries were lit in honor of the soldiers buried at this hollowed ground where Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address.

It's a Good Year!

It's a Good Year!
And at the other end of spectrum, a dump truck that has seen better days.

Pickles for this season

This is a little off topic but I though this would be interesting i the day of fast food and prepared food - my family were from the farming heritage and always canned in late summer/early fall. I took my shot this fall and canned 2 bushels of cucumbers - could not fit the canner nor the 7 cans in the canner on the table so this is what was the results and input to the process. I believe I may have enough bread/butter, green lime and dill pickles to last for a while.
