How does the smoke travel downward out of that stove? That’s some weird physics.

Nice bridge.

Old stone buildings are cool, aren’t they?

Those are just docks and not a fish hatchery? Do you lower the level of the lakes in winter? We do that to leave space for spring runoff.

They do that on Flathead Lake and I always laugh! Their excuse is that the lake level is dropping and it's not deep enough to get to where the travel lift can reach them, not that it's too cold....

What car do you take to cross Flathead Lake?

A Flathead Ford , of course.

I’m here all week.

Try the veal?

Tip your waitress!

They used to put flathead Fords in boats. I own a flathead that had water cooled exhaust manifolds on it for a boat. I sold the manifolds.

No, it was many years ago. I have caught my breath now.

That flathead may be used in one of my other brand projects - a 1938 Ford Tudor Sedan.

Should look like this:

Why did they put that in the name? You can see it just has a pair of doors.

Exhausted? Really, Bart?

😀

The twins really knocked themselves out on the cottage this week, huge load of junk to the dump from demo.

Caitlin went on a 20 minute “break” and when she came back she had painted the front of the house!
