This has one wild load and patina! When the chrome placard on the back end says "custom" ...it means it!
Happy Truck Thursday!
As you can see the bee is missing the tips of its wings. Possibly a bird tried to catch her and she escaped 😉 In any case, she was apparently too hot that day and had to take a break on my patio table 😃 This year there are more bees with us again and a greater number of species can also be observed. Have a peaceful MBT! everybody 😄

No one gets through this life without getting a bit battered and tattered along the way, but you just gotta keep going.

Went to the beach today. 20* and I froze my ---- off. Wind and waves off Lake Michigan that were phenomenal.
……Trevose Head and The Bull (the pointed rock) getting a good wash this day! A long lens pressed firmly on a rock at Treyarnon in 70 MPH gusts and at a safe distance from those fierce waves! Fun to see (and hear!!!!) Alan:-)……

"Arbutus unedo is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the family Ericaceae, native to the Mediterranean Basin and Western Europe. The tree is well known for its fruits, the arbutus berry, which bear some resemblance to the strawberry, hence the common name strawberry tree. However, it is not closely related to true strawberries of the genus Fragaria"
A recipe:
Strawberry Tree Crumble Cake
For the Cake:
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 & 1/2 cups strawberry plant berries, sliced
For the Crumble Topping:
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter melted then cooled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and liberally grease an approx. 8 x 8 sized pan.
Beat together butter and sugar on high speed for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add in egg and mix until combined. Slowly add in flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until just combined then add sour cream, vanilla extract and mix until combined – but don’t over-mix!
Evenly spread the cake batter in pan then top with sliced strawberry plant berries.
For the Crumble Topping:
Whisk together flour, both sugars, salt, and cinnamon until mixed. Drizzle butter over flour mixture and using a fork, stir together until crumbs form.
Sprinkle crumbs over strawberries. Bake cake for 35-40 minutes OR until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for at least 20 minutes.
The result of winter storms on the Oregon coast!
With the wood debris also comes garbage, unfortunately. The other day I filled up a large garbage bag in about half an hour. The most common items I see are plastic bottles and soles of shoes! It's easy to think those things vanish into thin air when they are no longer in our possession - but they don't!
Weston-super-mare is not known for its extreme weather, but took the chance to check it when i saw winds of up to 40 miles per hour forecast coinciding with hight tide.

A beautiful afternoon on the water spent at Karnay Botany National Park.
The calmer waters of the rock pool are sheltered from the battering of ocean swell & winds.
Beautiful spot.

Under what could be described as a stormy sky, a dented and grimy 47337 approaches Mount Pleasant crossing in Southampton with an intermodal train for Southampton Maritime container terminal.
47337 carries the Freightliner 1995 livery, a modest variation on the two-tone grey railfreight livery of the 1990s but enlivened with red diaganol stripes.
Surprisingly the locomotive survived the great locomotive cull that occurred at the start of the 21st century. 47337 was rebuilt into 57602 and in 2019 is still operational, hauling sleeper trains between London and Penzance.
Another less obvious survivor is also visible: the wasteland that was Bevois Park sidings above the locomotive is back in railway use in 2019. The yard reopened as an aggregate terminal in December 2015.
14th April 1999.
Swing away!

A rusty HRT 1973 shoves a cut of lumber cars down the Battle Lumber spur. The crew will wait for an excavator with a claw attachment to load the cars with logs before they head back north to Lavonia, GA.
