Santa Monica's Pendpac has been back up and running for a little while now after having its differential issues fixed. A few months before it went out of service, though, it had its arm replaced for the second time in its then four-year lifespan due to the horrendous design of the Pendpac Alleygator arm. This time, however, they gave it a Labrie Automizer arm as Labrie acquired Pendpac in 2011 (this was actually one of the last trucks Pendpac made). Now that Labrie holds the old Pendpac patents they actually manufacture a truck with the Alleygator body and an Automizer arm, known as the "Alleygator AGR." This particular truck has a genuine Pendpac body from before the buyout making it a Labrie/Pendpac hybrid and not the AGR.

Anyways, since my last video from the beach they removed the lid stops from the Rehrigs so the wind can't catch them and blow all of the cans over. There are a few open lids left here and there now but I don't think anyone cares or even notices for that matter... lol. Frankly a few open lids are far more attractive then a couple hundred trash cans strewn on their sides across the beach.

Huge thanks to the driver, Wayne, as always. Hope all is well in Arizona.
