Following the delivery of equipment for the Inbal Pinto Dance Company, at The Byham Theater, in Pittsburgh, we accepted a job to deliver the same equipment to Chapel Hill, NC. With pickup scheduled for Sunday evening, it meant we would be in Pittsburgh for the weekend.
We had a GREAT weekend, thanks to a nephew/cousin of mine, a niece, and a nephew-in-law.
Lemme 'splain.
On Friday, Oct. 31 (Halloween), our truck was visited by Sweeney Todd.
(a.k.a. Michael Rempel, Jr)
On Saturday, Mike, Pat, and I spent lunch, at Applebee's, catching up. That was great!
Leslie and Jason Fink, our niece and nephew-in-law, invited us to their home, which was a 2-minute walk from the shopping center parking lot where we parked the truck. First, we were able to shower at their home. That was terrific!
Throughout the weekend, we spent a lot of time together, catching-up on what's been happening with our families, and we ENJOYED a mucho deliciousso, home-cooked dinner! We agreed with Jason, that Leslie is a great cook!
While viewing the landscape from the 7th Street Bridge, we saw what looked like a tram, going up and down a hill, in the distance. Leslie and Jason said it was an Incline, and that we should go ride it.
Later in the weekend, Leslie and Jason called and said they wanted to take us to the Incline. So, off we went. At the Duquense Incline, we rode up the hill, visited the museum at the top, and road back down. It was really, really cool!

Trivia buffs question.At The Fountain at Point State Park (see in the picture above), from which river does the fountain's water come? The Allegheny? The Monongahela? The Ohio?

Leslie, Jason, & Pat...going down. 
Machinery that makes that happen.

What a GREAT, fun, relaxing, and refreshing weekend.
Thanks Michael, Leslie, & Jason.
Adios, hasta la vista, & chili con carne, we're off to North Carolinee!

No fair! You guys are having too much fun at your job!! The Incline does look neat...would like to visit someday. Stay safe and keep on truckin'!
Yikes! You'll let anyone in that cab! I hope you had it exorcised once that "evil" got out!
I don't know about exorcising, but, we did vacuum.
