I was too busy having fun that I didn't take many pictures... Actually, rather than quantity of phone camera snaps, I was enjoying just looking at the cars, and trying to find good shots to take with my old 35mm I've started messing with again after a long time of not using it.
I've uploaded the phone pictures I took for the weekend here:

Had a great time with my wife and car club, seeing friends at the show, walking the grounds looking at cars, and checking out the swap meet and art vendor areas. The Los Cochinos car club and Deadend Magazine show/party on Friday evening was pretty cool- at a venue with murals and graffiti on the walls, with a big round courtyard and balcony surrounding much of it. The sunset and lighting made it pretty surreal. I would have taken more photos there, but we were late and missed the free food before it ran out, so we had to leave to go eat.
Saturday's bad weather held off for the most part- temps in the 50s with some wind and drizzle aren't ideal conditions, but it could have (and has in the past) been much worse. The worst weather passed through Austin while we were indoors eating dinner Saturday evening. Bill Hanlon (and his brother Jack) found us parked in the spot we've been on for around 3 years in a row, and we visited for a bit as is becoming tradition. Once again, it was great catching up and talking trucks and carbs.
Sunday was beautiful, though the wind has convinced me I should go ahead and glue on the cheap door weatherstripping I have had stashed away for several years and not worry about redoing it "later on" when/if I get around to doing some of the other things I long-term-plan to do to the truck.
Here are a few photos from the way home.

The truck ran great the whole time and continues to impress me.
