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 P8200001 and then to watch Mikey P8200002 as he watched Lonnie's truck pull up P8200003 and Lonnie emerge P8200004 to greet us, P8200005 This excitement inspired a group picture P8200006 in front of the new truck. But, there was work to do, so Suzanne got into the fork lift P8200007 and backed it up P8200008 further P8200009 and further P8200010 and then lifted her forks P8200011 in practice for her mission. P8200012 With Larry's help, she wheeled around P8200013 to get in position behind Lonnie's truck P8200014 with the pallet she would be lifting. P8200015 She aimed her forks P8200016 and missed on the first try P8200017 so she backed off and re-aimed P8200018 driving slowly P8200019 slowly P8200020 slowly P8200021 until she reached the truck P8200022 and made contact P8200023 and slowly worked her way in P8200024 to get the pallet. Now she began to lift P8200025 and then backed off P8200026 further P8200027 and further P8200028 until she was holding the pallet P8200029 and could lower it to the ground. P8200030 This amazed Mikey and Lonnie, P8200031 but it tired Suzanne, so that Sarah was called upon to board the forklift P8200032 and gently guide it P8200033 P8200034 P8200035 P8200036 P8200037 to its final place under Larry's expert guidance. P8200038 Not to be outdone, Benjamin P8200039 P8200040 P8200041 P8200042 and Jane P8200043 P8200044 P8200045 P8200046 each took their turns at the wheel.

Next, we went inside to see the grapes, P8200047 the sales brocheure, P8200048 some fine signs, P8200049 P8200050 P8200051 and their inst-a-frame P8200052 while awaiting our tour guide who had a business to run. They do make a lot of open signs P8200053 in many languages. Larry took some family pictures P8200054 P8200055 P8200056 P8200057 and then we met Gilbert P8200058 the guy who's name we forgot P8200059 and Jesus P8200060 in the metal bending shop and the man who might have been named Milton P8200061 in the letter area where they have the spiffy almost neon open signs. P8200062 He gave the kids their names in letters P8200063 and Jane had her clock sign P8200064 while Jesus bent metal P8200065 with Gilbert supervising P8200066 before we checked out the packets of condiments P8200067 and decided it was time to head for the airport.
