don't know you can do it until you try

El Camino needed a new battery.  With phone instructions from Eddie's Service, I removed, tested, purchased & installed the new one.  Who knew it was that easy?!  Road-ready once again.

we drove our El Camino in the Providence Forge Christmas Parade

Waiting to launch.  A bit like heavy traffic on I-95: an hour of idling & getting nowhere.

 Bodyshop truck towing a boat.

 Many tractors, of various vintages.

 Driver's eye view of parade coming & going, making the loop through downtown PF.

 Of course, the New Kent Tea Party, complete with tricorners, fife, drum & Constitution.

 Our fans.

 Two, count 'em, two grown-up Jesus with cave, rock, & cross floats.

 The other El Camino, a '68.  There was also a Ranchero.

 The district's new supervisor, TP candidate, demonstrating his professional acumen.

 Bill's Hot Dog's, closed.  But they did have a truck in the parade.

 Parade viewers.

Ho ho ho.
We were a little carsick after two hours & two miles but happy to be waved at by our neighbors in camo & fur.

who said a diamond is a girl's best friend?

chopped liver!  Think El Camino.
