San Diego pedicabs have changed a lot based on this one. I heard it's 50 dollars per person

this concludes about an hour of going through photos and posting so you have fresh stuff to look at on Monday!

Comic Con 2026 is over, and I found some good stuff to post, but it's less vehicle related than my typical daily variety

I would ordinarily post more, but I haven't gotten much sleep lately, and I'm wiped out, and need to get more than the last couple of weeks of 6 hours or less per night. 

During comic con, nightly sleep varied from 6 hours on Tuesday, 4 on Wednesday, 2 on Thursday, and 2.5 on Friday. Saturday I got about 10 to catch up some on the lost sleep... I felt better, but still a bit groggy

On average, Tuesday night to Friday night, I got about 3.6 hours a night

So, Saturday in Hall H, about a minute before Apple released this to the world on Youtube, we got to see it first... as if that matters. But, Matchbox the Movie, has a good cast, and loos like a FUN movie, being released on Apply streaming on October 9th

the 100 ton Wrecking Crane... 1907 steam powered... I didn't know they had to clamp the side opposite of the load, to the rails under the crane. Makes perfect sense.
