1957 Chevrolet Two-Ten 2-door "Handyman".

Have admired this beauty for about a year now from US HWY 53 on trips to Duluth, MN and stopped recently to ask permission to take a muddy walk and try to do it justice with my camera.

Bubba's Auto Salvage & Machine, Trego, WI USA.

I admire this vehicle for a couple of reasons. My father had one when I was a kid (which he bought used in the mid-sixties) and I always loved the shape and utility of the vehicle. Imagine a two-door wagon. My dad used it like a pickup truck, but also hauled his five (at the time) kids around on occasion. The best was riding "shotgun" when he had a load of stuff in the back. He built a vacation cottage in northern Wisconsin in the mid-sixties and this vehicle was the work-horse hauling all of the building materials the 1-1/2 hrs from Green Bay, WI. He was a working man and a scrounger - many of the building materials he used to build the cottage were reclaimed. The cottage is still in the family and a great seasonal get-away.

The second reason I like this vehicle is that I am an aging handyman myself.

This was shot on the Oregon Coast in Newport Oregon after being cloudy for days, the sun poked out for a few hours! I'm ready to move from Dallas, Texas to the coast now!

West Somerset Railway.

Williton Station is about a mile east of the village centre. It has two platforms and is the principal intermediate train crossing place on the West Somerset Railway, where most trains will pass one going in the opposite direction. There is a small car park with an entrance to the down (Minehead) platform, where the booking office and waiting rooms can be found in the main building.

Death Valley, California

Part of a Bronze Age settlement was uncovered at Must Farm quarry, at Whittlesey, near Peterborough, in Cambridgeshire, England. The site has been described as "Britain's Pompeii" due to its relatively good condition, including the "best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found" there, which all appear to have been abandoned suddenly following a catastrophic fire. Research now suggests that the site was less than one year old at the time of destruction.

Objects recovered include pots still containing food, textiles woven from lime tree bark and other plant fibres, sections of wattle walls, and glass beads. - Wikipedia

Accoutrements: additional items of dress or equipment.

A mixture of weather and personal circumstances have kept me off the streets to a large extent recently.

Full time caring leaves little time for anything else.

However I have arranged "cover" for the beginning of next week so ---- off to York for a couple of days.

My mother in law (98) is not that happy about it when I tell her , which is three or four times a day as she forgets after an hour or so. This also creates interesting and sometimes funny moments - - loaf of bread in the washing machine, cups in the fridge, tins of soup in the freezer - - - and I have not yet found where the milk has gone.
