I went to a Texas T Party this past Saturday.
Here´s a few pics I took there.
As you see, this one has to do with Bastrop, Texas.
Yep, home of the recent Jade Helm controversy.
But, before you start sending dirty e-mails, keep an open mind.
And in fact it was in San Antonio.
This was a car that had won something at the Bastrop show a few years ago.
There were quite a few well-done cars.
Some looked like they were ready to go on a race.
This one was from 1911.
And this one looked like it had been collecting dust for quite some time.
But, I actually liked the ones that were not worked upon yet.
Like the one above, with it´s crooked wheels and it´s wooden floor.
Shiny, finished engines looked really cool, too.
In my opinion, though, this one was the prettiest of them all.
That´s not paint on the engine block.
It´s oxidation of the different metals giving that blue and green hue.
Cool, I thought.
Almost made me want to get a new hobby of converting old cars into working ones.
But, this guy reminded me it was work to keep these guys running.
So, I got in my air-conditioned Toyota,
and headed out for the International Accordion Festival instead, on the park by the Riverwalk.
(It was just another weekend in San Antonio.)
