Went out to the farm to meet up with the fella that is buying my Caddy. Snapped this pic of my Corvair, poor thing.

Hey, at least it's not sitting out to rot. It's just in safe keeping, that's all.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Upstream is an upland bog that gives the river it's name.
Disclaimer: I did not take that picture. Shown for the sole purpose of elaborating upon the photo I did take You're right, it's brown. It's not usually muddy like that.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Took this white oak down last week . Had to make it spin off the stump about 90° in order to keep it from hanging up on two other trees. Dozer makes it easy to drag out to top out and buck it up

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
This 1/2 round window faces the front of the house. I had it and stuck it in when I remodeled the place 30 years ago. Women seem to notice and compliment on it but it bugged me after a while. Although a bit of hodge podge is cool on such an old place, it seemed too contemporary. You look at things, get ideas, not that important, maybe some day. Well, the day came and I took some scraps of clear cedar and made a grille to give it an older look

That's a nice shade of yellow.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
My '64 Impala convertible was about that color. Prior to that I had a '63 Dart that was painted Swift Red, and under that kind of lights it was a bilious yellow-green. Weird.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Could it be that with all the bouncing of moving on a flat tire ,,that the lug bolts have wollared out bigger holes and the weight of the truk when stopped ,,made the wheel center off center?

![]() So anyway I didn't think those cut-out wheels would be safe on the originally designed pickup because the weight would all be on the lug bolts (I didn't have the 89 when I tried to make the wheels work on the Suburban). Now three of those wheels are filled with rocks holding up t-posts in places where you can't drive them into the ground. And one of them is serving as a tire chain basket. Or maybe that wheel is for something different and just happened to sort of fit? I guess if you're running a tire flat that long you aren't too particular about wheel applications either ![]()

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Looks like that one tire has no air in it.
But it's still safe. The guys say if it has the pin can't collapse. When you see a Chevy truck running Toyota rims and those tires are shot, it's equal to the carload of people in the old Sentra running on four bald space-saver spares. This misalignment on my bathroom vanity always bugged me. It's offset to look right from the sink side but created this awkward spot I look at from my "seat". I do some deep thinking on that seat, but also a lot of dazing without thought... except "How can I make that spot better w/o a hole lot of work?" Figured it out Not perfect. It's a patch job, but so what? I could have puttied and sanded to blend, but naw. A 162 year old house is bound to have a repair or two. At least the paint line continues through now!

No air. Solid tires all the way around, such as they are.

Is this an example of "Ad astra per aspera"?

I went to my other house over the weekend. The crackheads across the street had a little problem with their meth lab.
