1967 Ford Galaxie sedan. Boscawan, New Hampshire.

From Reid Cunningham: "At a repair garage in Boscawan NH, this 1967 Galaxy.  I am not sure the orange paint is the original color, but it looks good with the white roof.  Most four-doors left the factory with mundane engines, but this one sports the 390!"  

We caught a 1967 Galaxie XL500 on Deer Isle, Maine last month.

The Beauty of the Hull.


Classic wooden Maine inshore lobster boat. Many of these used to have gasoline engines.  Nova Scotia boats (Novi's) are stouter to manage their open North Atlantic fishing ground .

Yard Dogs. Marfa, Texas.

It's a good week to be in Texas. That look like a c.1990 Dodge Ram. Below, a c. 1983 Chevrolet C10, and then a c.1969 Dodge Charger.  All glowing in rain that's been making the desert green this November week.

At the boatyard

 
It has been a beautiful autumn in Brooklin. The northwest blows down Eggemoggin Reach this time of year and Center Harbor, open to the NW, has been rocking with 20-25kt winds. Most boats have been hauled. Not all. See the catboat below. And that yawl on the flat. And that old Marfan GMC, on the hard.  We like the BBY's work truck because it is a hard worker. We don't like beefcake trucks that are all pose, no purpose. See the overburdened Tacoma! at the bottom of this post.







"Toyota trucks used to make sense!" he harrumphed.

1959 Chevrolet Apache 31. Blue Hill, Maine

And here's a scrappier Apache from Colorado. A streetwise version in Marfa, Texas. A 3/4 ton Apache from Saskatchewan, another 3/4 ton in Denver and an Apache 1-ton, in Saskatchewan.
