ANOTHER DAY PT5

Another day in Hillsdale...

A car passes the newest store in town, Christie's Pet Supply. This recently opened business will be featured in the next series of layout updates.



A trucker has parked beside the furniture store, probably waiting for his trailer to get loaded at one of the downtown warehouses. Since he'll be back on the road soon, he's NOT going to be sitting in The Pub!



Another Schneider National tractor is parked in Tony's lot. Apparently the driver pulled off from a trailer without disconnecting the airlines -and now needs Tony's help to keep his job!



Yet another truck is in the lot. This one, however, is there so its owner can retrieve some things from his storage unit before hitting the road. An owner-operator, he does bring his truck to Tony for tune-ups and maintenance -as well as adding custom touches when he can afford to buy them!



At the end of the day, Tony's father Tim reads the paper while waiting for his son to finish up some paperwork. While Tim is a master mechanic -he can machine parts for just about any engine- he's also old school; a hat and jacket when he's off the job!
