Ol’ Blue Eyes… The Truck

Ol' Blue Eyes, the Truck

Have been somewhat under the weather, the last few weeks, or just been very lazy and not getting out much. I have been easing back into long walks over the weekend and found this truck, on my travels. Not seen one with this impressive artwork before, but I suspect in other countries it may be more common.

That's very neat. Very impressive. One of the endurance riders is having photos of him and his horse put on his horse float but I don't think they are going to be quite as impressive as this!

@Ronrybs It's very good however they did it. I'm anxious to get photos of the endurance rider's horse float with its decals or whatever.

I am guessing it it is a giant transfer. I hate to try and paint that free hand!

Taking longer walks every other day and having a quick pedal on the bike

@Ronrybs Longer walks is very good and a pedal on the bike is also good.

Not really ill, just low energy I think. The art certainly caught my eye and has me wondering if I shall see anymore.

@Ronrybs Some in the United States are beautiful, a shame to think they will be destroyed one day.

@LadyDuck Indeed, a lot of time, money and effort went into doing that and it will likely end up in a scrap yard. I guess some will end in a museum, but not many

Pretty sure I haven't seen anything like this before, but I shall be keeping an eye out, just in case! I have a feeling that this is far more common in the US

I guess that's one way to show you're a Sinatra fan. I've seen some highly decorated semis while I was traveling here and there... A lot of the owners go in for light shows on the cabs of their trucks.

I hadn't seen anything like this before and was quite impressed, Yep, I too thought he was a Sinatra fan! I feel this type of thing is more common in the US.

@Ronrybs A lot of people decorate their trucks because they are "home" for a lot of the year at a time.

@DaddyEvil Makes sense, don't think you can make journeys half as long as a typical US driver

First one I've seen like this, but have to admit I thought they would be common in the USA, being the home of long distance drivers

Don't think I was particularly ill, but very low energy and fatigued. Still, regular bedtimes and meals seems to be helping, along with gradually increasing the amount of exercise.

Well I never!! He must really like that Sinatra..it is cool that. I hope the weather perks up Ron, so you can get out once again. I know the feeling. It is okay your body will let you know what to do and when to get out.

This made me curious, I had to look up Hamsons, and funnily enough here's a picture to tie your last two posts together!

I hope you are feeling better soon! That is a really well done truck. I don't usually see many with art on them. Though growing up we had some friends who were truckers - and one of them had some awesome art work with horses on it , on their truck

So far this is the only one with art work I have seen. You shall have to grab some photos when you see any. Quite fascinating and says something about the owner
