I thought I would post again so soon after my last one because this week is going to be busy with orders, cleaning and STUFF!
Doug has been retired for 14 years now from management with UPS but since then he has been a part-time driver for LDV a place here in town that makes the SNAP-ON TOOL TRUCKS, GOVERNMENT VEHICLES of all kinds and now the biggie!!!!
He delivers the Tool Truck and lots of different command vehicles all over the US…but this one below he isn’t delivering…they are getting it themselves!
DR. OZ’S BUS! Yep, right here in little Burlington….it has been such a huge boost in the company, although they make lots of other vehicles that are just as impressive. Our son Darren works with these vehicles as well. So here’s the bus – it’s a doozy!
He drove me over there yesterday before going to the store so I could get some photos. 
It looks like the design has stripes across the bus but it’s grayish/white words that barely show up…sort of subliminal messages
They also make bomb squad vehicles, police command vehicles, drug enforcement vehicles…and lots of others.
LDV has also been contracted by the BLUE MAN GROUP to make RIDE NEW YORK busses – they have several of them in the process and a couple already finished.
Here’s what they are – wish I had interior photos….they hold sideways theater seats so everyone can see the views as they are touring NY and there are TV monitors and plush leather seats – nothing left out.
This is a view of the seating that’s in the process of being constructed.
Hope you enjoyed these!
Yesterday afternoon we visited Darren and his family – he looked pretty good but his week was a rough one – he’s getting a bit depressed because of the arm not working. This week he goes into Milwaukee and they are going to inject a dye and see if there is something besides swelling in there to cause the lack of use this far past surgery.
I think he looks pretty darned good though.
He has his right arm crossed but he has to help it to get there.
He took his brace off for a couple minutes while we were there to show us where the incision was - it’s only about 3 inches.
Guess that’s all for me for now – I know it’s not decorating or crafting but it’s all I got girls.
I keep forgetting to take a picture of my adorable snowman pillow – maybe tomorrow if I remember. I finished them and packed them with the show items.
I really want to thank all the girls who have asked for an invitation to our home show – I can’t believe all the one’s wanting to come from so far away…I promise it will be worth it and you better let me know the second you walk in here!!!!
ANYONE WANTING ONE JUST E-MAIL ME!
Hugs, Karen
