Pictures of 08.20.01 -- A visit to Stop Look Signs

It was our last day in Orange County, so we wanted to take a tour of one of its most venerable institutions. We were very pleased to be met at the gate by 3 of the owners of the enterprise ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200001 and then to watch Mikey ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200002 as he watched Lonnie's truck pull up ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200003 and Lonnie emerge ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200004 to greet us, ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200005 This excitement inspired a group picture ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200006 in front of the new truck. But, there was work to do, so Suzanne got into the fork lift ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200007 and backed it up ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200008 further ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200009 and further ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200010 and then lifted her forks ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200011 in practice for her mission. ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200012 With Larry's help, she wheeled around ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200013 to get in position behind Lonnie's truck ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200014 with the pallet she would be lifting. ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200015 She aimed her forks ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200016 and missed on the first try ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200017 so she backed off and re-aimed ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200018 driving slowly ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200019 slowly ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200020 slowly ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200021 until she reached the truck ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200022 and made contact ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200023 and slowly worked her way in ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200024 to get the pallet. Now she began to lift ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200025 and then backed off ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200026 further ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200027 and further ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200028 until she was holding the pallet ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200029 and could lower it to the ground. ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200030 This amazed Mikey and Lonnie, ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200031 but it tired Suzanne, so that Sarah was called upon to board the forklift ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200032 and gently guide it ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200033 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200034 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200035 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200036 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200037 to its final place under Larry's expert guidance. ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200038 Not to be outdone, Benjamin ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200039 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200040 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200041 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200042 and Jane ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200043 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200044 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200045 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200046 each took their turns at the wheel.
Next, we went inside to see the grapes, ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200047 the sales brochure, ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200048 some fine signs, ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200049 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200050 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200051 and their inst-a-frame ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200052 while awaiting our tour guide who had a business to run. They do make a lot of open signs ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200053 in many languages. Larry took some family pictures ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200054 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200055 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200056 ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200057 and then we met Gilbert ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200058 the guy who's name we forgot ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200059 and Jesus ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200060 in the metal bending shop and the man who might have been named Milton ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200061 in the letter area where they have the spiffy almost neon open signs. ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200062 He gave the kids their names in letters ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200063 and Jane had her clock sign ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200064 while Jesus bent metal ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200065 with Gilbert supervising ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200066 before we checked out the packets of condiments ../../../Sabbat/08.20.01StopLookSignCo//P8200067 and decided it was time to head for the airport.
