This was quite the project to get up. A 32' long x 12' (side leg length) x 18' wide.
My brother and I fought to get this up between the 30 mph winds over a series of
days to get this up. Those metal panels make good sails. Ha!

Same shot just cropped differently.

What a project! Lol - I'm surprised your hats stayed on :)

Of the two, I definitely prefer the second picture. Both are excellent, though.

Those were "Knobs" in "Knob and Tube" wiring. Knob & Tube wiring was the way houses were wired for electricity in the late 1800's - early 1900's. No "romex" back then. :rolleyes:

This is an exhibition truck, 1970 Chevy, built by a company in Tucson, AZ. I was headed home and saw it at a truck stop,
so got a few pictures. The company also has a few monster trucks that are for exhibition. I googled the truck to find out
about the company called Sturgismotorsports. They have some youtube stuff on the web of demonstrations of this jet truck.

And no, I don't own the truck, but I do have a trailer almost like that trailer. :D

I wonder where its fuel supply is? You'd think that it'd consume what it might carry 20 seconds after lighting off. :eek:

The truck is not propelled by the jet engine, they just burn up stuff in the path of the exhaust. The fuel (I assume is stored in the square tank in the bed of the truck by the jet. See the second photo for a look at the tank.
