This was outside my wife's "office" today. Not sure if the Easter bunny is the leader of the dark side or their prisoner. Haven't gotten the whole story yet.

That is quite the mismatched group.

Is that Darth Sidious?

Is the Easter Bunny "his father"?

Family photo? 🤣🤣

The quaint little fishing village of Corea,Me. is my workplace window for  a few days.

@stevasaurus does this look familiar??

 

Decommissioned now.

It was the old "elephant cage" entrance.

All the towers are gone now. Just the buildings. It has been deemed a bird sanctuary. With walking and bike paths.

Yes, that is the place.  Lived in Winter Harbor...drove around Prospect Harbor to get to the site.  Thanks.  The base was at the end of Schoodic Point,  where Schoodic Institute is now.  You've got to love Lobster boats.  :USA:

Here's a pic I took from the cab of the truck this morning.

I believe that bird is a great egret.

Lobster boats

I moved to Maine in July of 2000.

I started working for the parts department of an extraordinarily large Chevrolet dealership.

The manager was giving me a tour of the facilities and I noted that they had right there in stock.... A crate engine 292 straight 6.

I was like.... WTH????

 

He looks at me and he says oh yeah. We sell one or two a year. I'm like, for what????

 

He says, lobstuh boats use 'um.  

 

 

Nothing quite like quiet morning in a desolate harbor and listening to a boat going from trap to trap to trap.

I believe you are correct. We have had a few come up this way in the last few years.

When I was stationed in Winter Harbor, one of our gate guards, (a local from Millbridge, Me.),  had a Lobster boat that was having engine problems.  Turned out to be head gaskets.  I tore the engine apart and fixed it for him...a Pontiac 389.  As payment, he took 6 of us Cod fishing (hand lining) in that boat.  We went out to the drop off (shelf), it was a foggy day and the sea was calm, like glass.  You guessed it, I got sea sick.  No bearings in the fog.  Then the fog cleared and the sun came out...then I was OK.  I caught one Blow Fish.  :bow-blue:

There was a dealership down in Machias years ago. They had a box car full of new crate engines. All Buick 350s.

Same reason. New out the door 500 bucks. So cheap it almost made me buy a Buick. Just to put a new engine in it lol

I believe that would have been my deceased step-father John.

Not exactly my office window, but looking out my cabin as we leave Shetland.

 

Little Peter is my work buddy (red arrow) we are on the same watch each day.

  Wasn’t in the office this week…and pics are not allowed at to many places where I work.

  Spent this last week in Virginia and this is the view from my hotel balcony (I did work some at the hotel on laptop so it kinda counts). Chesapeake Bay is what your looking at. One day shot and one night shot.

Glad to see you back. Lovely Orangerie there. Perhaps add a Monet Water Lilies reproduction?

Had the opportunity to cross the Channel on a Brittany ferry (Portsmouth-Caen) a week ago. Leaving port we passed the UK aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, which was about twice the size of the ferry in LOA and displacement. A very impressive vessel, I must say.

I can see how a ferry crew has tons of work and could become distracted! Beautiful sights and lots of marine traffic to keep wide of. We had a decent load of HGVs and autos, but a fairly light load of passengers. Still early for vacationers, of course. Plus, with Brexit and the strict EU residency requirements for owning seasonal use property, many, many UK citizens have had to give up their "holiday" homes in France. 

Best of luck with the residential transitions.

Thanks Don, this year is going to be more about doing things I enjoy rather than working endlessly.

 

Will see if the art department can recreate a Monet, the females in the house are all quite talented.

 

Ferries are the most boring ships around, we are just robots going through the same routine day after day, never go anywhere new, and the run I am on is the back of beyond so don't even get many interesting vehicles. I used to work for P&O on the Dover/Calais run and that was a bit more interesting as the car deck always had cool things coming and going. I met  motorcycle racer Tito Rabat one time, and spent half an hour talking to him on the deck, back before he was World Champion in the Moto2 class. My favourite ships are research vessels, you travel all around the world, the job changes every day and you are always meeting new people - pity the money and time away from home are both rubbish.

 

Luckily we travel on our NZ passports so Brexit shouldnt make much difference for the move to France. Thats at least a year away, need to do some serious saving first, but we are ready for a change of country and looking forward to having to learn a new language.

      Hello fellas. I bought this 211-3 tractor. I have no clue how this mower deck comes off. I need to fix some areas on the deck, as well as replace a clutch cable. I can't seem to find pictures of a complete deck for this model as it should be. Need help.

      I've had some stuff laying around for a while now. I've had some ideas kicking around my head for a while as well.
      Well they met each other a few days ago.
      This is going to be a camp buggy of sorts. 
      Like any of my other builds I would appreciate any input anyone want to donate.
       
      The base is an 1982-88 Yamaha G1 golf cart.

      I started a thread a little while back "Something from Nothing". It has been upgraded to this thread because now I'm building something from something lol. I started with a new frame and strengthened the transaxle mount a bit.

      I've wanted to do this type of project for a while now. So here we go. The name was given by @wallfish. It will be called "The Yeti".  It will be painted and badged in a military theme. The front axle is in progress now.
