Food truck!

Last January, Charles bought an old bread truck and spent several months turning it into a food truck in his spare time. I am always amazed at his vision and how he can take what seems to me to be a piece of junk and turn it into something fantastic. I am so proud of him.

He sold the truck to a guy in Seattle who is planning on using it at Microsoft. We're supposed to get the details when he opens, and will update when we know.
