Oh the joy of an antique vehicle!!

Hey, you win the prize!!! Scrapple it is!

I'm originally from PA where folks know how to make this stuff. But currently living in VA, where people never heard of it.

Funny thing is, on our previous trip up, I got a loaf and brought it back to VA to try to "educate" my friends. What I had left made the trip back up to PA again. Keeps well in the cooler and pan-fries great on my alcohol stove. Perfect bus food!

Sorry Skid, but he called it right. If you blow up my tags in one of those pics, you'll see VA issued me "Antique Vehicle" plates. Here, this designation saves plate renewal fees and annual inspection fees, so it's worth it. Personally, I don't care what you call it, just be nice because my bus & I are about the same age. :cry:

BTW Skid, cool web page for the band! Mind me asking, which one are you - what do you play? I've been mixing live sound for bands and events for years. Always a blast!

Aw I wasn't trying to be mean, was just being silly cause I don't think these vehicles are really antiques yet. Like when you go into an antique store and everything in there is really old like from the early 1900s or earlier and then you find something from the 70s in there and you're like "Why is this here!!". But that's something people could debate about forever.

By the way, I'm the one playing bass 8)

Cooool . . . VERY cool !!!

I used to manage a music store - whenever a punk or metal player would come in and shred one of our Flying-V guitars, an older employee (an old-school rocker) would say "I just don't get all that Jiggy-Jiggy-Jang!" 8-[ Ha, Ha. To each his own.

Sitting in between some rocky mountains in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan; and being from those gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, a longing comes to my soul and a tear to my eye.
