This scene presented itself to me while driving home from Glacier. I don't know what it is about the climate out there but all these old wood structures take on the exact same shade of brown. It's a beautiful color, very different then what we see here in Portland. Too bad this photo looked better in black and white.
The water was unbelievably clear. We stopped and swam here - a really neat place (on the east side of the lake).
I did not know at the time when I sold my old wing/vent windows just like the one in the photo that I would need some of the parts to make my new one piece windows work properly when I install them.
So to fix my problem I went over to a friends house, who has a truck project like mine and take measurements and fabricate the parts I need.
I had to remove one of his vent windows to measure and take pictures of a part & make a card board template, I need to make for my truck. Then I went out and got some scrap metal and started the fab work and follow the directions posted by blackdiesel 67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=366078&page=4
Platycephalus bassensis (Sand Flathead) caught in Great Taylors Bay, South Bruny Island. You are only allowed to take fish greater than 30cm long so we had to measure each one. I caught about 8 fish 6 of which were large enough to keep. They're rather tasty.
They have spines on the edges of their gill covers which can inflict a very painful jab so killing the fish without getting stung is a priority once you're sure you can keep it.
