After a good night's sleep at their place, Mark's aunt and uncle took us out to lunch in their '39 REO crew-cab truck. After lunch we got a lengthy tour of Chuck and Toni's incredible vintage trailer collection. They travel around the country, towing this vintage trailer behind their amazing truck. The trailer has been gutted, and Chuck himself admits that the roof is all that remains of the original. The love and attention to detail that has been invested in each of piece of sheet metal, rivet and custom window is mind boggling. Very impressive.
Their house was also host to about one hundred coffee grinders (of which I am aparently one of only a few people to correctly identify...). The grinder collection got Mark and I dreaming about all the things besides coffee that could be ground in one... cheap vintage grinders run $10-$20 on ebay, and one could grind corn, nuts... imagine the custom nut butters! Obviously I felt like I could talk shop with them over the obsessive collections, being rather familiar with the habit as I am. Anyway...
