After 50 days of not working and being stuck in my apartment/downtown I had enough. So, with the OK from Jeremiah ( had to make sure I wasn't showing any symptoms, wore my mask and practiced social distancing) I headed down to Delta for a few days last week to relax as well as get some pics of the crew working away in the shop. Boy was it a needed trip! When I planned this outing, I was still unemployed and waiting for unemployment to get processed. But a few days before leaving, work called me back and they were fine with this little outing before starting. I drove down Sunday over McClure Pass- probably one of my favorite paved passes in Colorado before spending a few nights at the shop. It was great to hang out with everyone and fun to see some of the projects there working on- crazy to see a 100 series Land Cruiser getting a stage two restoration.

Full set of pics on my blog:
