some of our forest service roads are not suitable for cars...this guy found out the hard way this was not one of them....
looks like he took a run at a 40 degree hill but didn't see the cross ditch at the bottom

It was hot today 100+. Gotta grab some shade where you can find it.

Out there in Driesville you need to build your shade. A simple carport. All the nice rust free 67-72s I've bought out of the arid S/W have had the woodgrain trim on one side burned off and the other side looked great. I figure parked under a carport with faded side facing west or south. Sun all day or late day heat and lower sun angle

The coran may be flat but in my motorhome when its level the countertop is pitched towards the wall to keep any spills from going to the front and running g down the cabinets. It has the automatic hydrolic leveling Jack's but I always check it with the bubble level but it's not all the critical. It's like horse shoes and handgranades close is good enough :lol:

A carport is on my long list of things to do. I hate the cars sitting outside in the dirt getting cooked.

The woodgrain on my CST is chicken fried and my trailer turned pink. I need some concrete and cover.

kills me leaving my truck out in the elements, 365 24/7...but getting chicken fried here is rare, our trucks are more likely to turn into ice cubes :waah:

That's what I've found when looking for interior/upholstery parts for my Cadillac. They all come from the east coast. You can find rust free cars here but the interiors are cooked. The Caddy is the perfect example. Not a spot of rust on it but the inside looks like it was in a microwave.

Very cool lettering and pinstripe. Even the Detroit got some attention. Let's see some pics of the whole rig.

yesterday after a few errands in town,i rolled through the Joggins Fossil Center as i usually do,it's just around the corner from home.i like taking a buzz through the parking lot to look at license plates.it's pretty cool to see plates from all over North America.i came across these 2 rigs yesterday,one from California and the other from South Dakota(might've been North,not sure.i could only see the small plate on the trailer,i guess my old eyes aren't what they used to be?)they looked like they were loaded for just about any hazard or hardship that could possibly come their way or an assault on Mt Everest when they left here.they had stuff packed in like peas in a pod.very cool.

I interrupted this Beaver gathering breakfast this morning when I got to work. It was harvesting branches from the native plants the city required us to plant when the building was remodeled back in 2017.

Of the 10 Alder and Popular trees the ccompany to plant the Beaver cut down 9 of them. The tenth one just died. Photo 3 shows some of the stumps left by Beaver.

After the sun came up I noticed the trail the Beaver has worn in the bank going back and forth for dinner.

let the dawgs out this morn, heard a rustle in my garbage can.
a rat was digging around in it. Rumble ran right over to it and the rat jumped out of the can and Rumbledawg deftly and beautifully snagged it in mid air...heck of a good catch on his part. went to get a bag to dispose of it and the crows ticked off Rumble by swooping in and grabbing his kill....at least i didn't have to dispose of it...:metal:

Nature was at work in your yard.

You have the best GMT400 real life photos I've seen.

Backgrounds not too shabby either!

The sky opened up for you a bit. Looks beautiful

today was a rare combination,my wife was off,a nice day,too nice to hang around here so off we went in the convertible on a little adventure.i thought i'd stop in and say hi to the fella who painted my truck last October,but we never made it,got a little side tracked here at this yard full of stuff,nothing for sale,all for this fella's own enjoyment.unreal amounts of stuff.i think i counted 8 or 10 old gas pumps but i'm sure there's more?unreal,then we stopped at a little place down the road where a man built bird houses,i guess she needed another one??i know when to shut my mouth,i'm not as stupid as i look.never did get to the body shop but that's ok.all good.

Beautiful Neat Place! Love to see places with the old antiques displayed. Looks like someone also has a full time maintenance job keeping it ship shape.

Cool place. So is the place open for browsing? One man's personal museum. I had something similar, on a smaller scale, in mind for my retirement. I collected antique toys, advertising, western, pioneer, and just antique type stuff all my life. I still have a good bit, but have had to sell off a lot over the past 15 years, unfortunately. No more plans for a mini museum.

It sure looks ship shape and that was my thought when I looked at the pictures. Must be a guy who likes to keep busy. I'm that way and I hope I keep it up. I also thought about the place sitting all winter. I'd love to see pictures in the snow

this was quite a place,not open to the public.if i get back there,it's a couple hours from here,in winter,i will take some pictures.i walked up in a Boy's Scout Park for some pictures beside the place.there was a 100 miles of fence around the place.i had sorta hoped someone would see me walking around and come out and want to yak about all this stuff but no dice.the place was like a palace,the yardwork would be never ending and there wasn't a blade of grass out of place.the property extended for a long way back and there were old trucks,road graders,signs,pumps,you name it as far as you could see.unreal.when we stopped up the road a mile or so for my wife to buy a birdhouse,it was there that man told me a little about the guy with all the stuff.apperantly he came to the birdhouse fella and bought 28 of them i think he said,a $1000.00 and has them all over the property out back i guess.apperantly he's very successful in the restaurant business amoung others thing i guess?good for him,he can play with whatever he wants,looks like?she did buy a cool old birdhouse to add to our little hole in the wall.cool.
