Pass the Hardhat

Alright! We set up trench supports in a construction site up in the hills of Newport Beach, which surprisingly looked like a dessert.

Truck full of trench braces.

I pretty much just managed the chains and ran around being hardcore.

Me about to release the chains.

The Cone Graveyard

There's no cones

Like snow cones.

Like no cones

That I know.

Fan Hat

It's a hat:

Hat.

It's a fan:

Fan.

It's a fan hat:

Fan hat.

A hat that collapses into a fan! A fan that expands into a hat!
Folds up to fit in your back pocket!

Beat the heat!

Aerial view.

Thank you, Chinatown, LA!

Rebel Leady Orange

I set up so many signs and cones last week! Truckloads of them at multiple sites. Night set ups can be pretty hazardous, especially with traffic happening, but it's fun.

Truck full of traffic equipment.

Me at the traffic blinker parking lot.

Since all my work clothes are dark, they gave me a cool orange t-shirt with the previously mentioned logo of a bicep coming out of a truck & holding a steel plate on it, so I will treasure that little souvenir.

Rebel Leady HQ

I begin each morning in this little pocket of blue collar sentiment:

Rebel Leady Strip Mall.

Labor Ready is on the left. Barber shop is on the right, with the entire outside wall painted like an American flag. In the center is the World of Warriors gun shop. I went in there once. Besides guns and ammo, they also sell walking sticks.
