1940 Ford V8 1-ton pickup. Blue Hill Maine

You may remember this Ford from a couple years back when I caught it at Bill Grant's boatyard: Bill was doing a brake job on the truck. Seems to be running, and stopping, pretty well now. We saw it at the dump. Have you ever noticed that most people at the town dump seem cheerful ? Much perkier than the crowd at, say, Walmart. Past a certain point, throwing stuff away just feels better than acquiring more.
