Recent fun in, under, on, and around the water.
I just cannot keep out of the water.
1st: my 1st motion picture masterpiece:
And other assorted pics. Sorry for the vintage effect on some of these - it's getting overused but the lens was dirty and this helps.

Mercury Production to End
Who really cares, the marque had become an overpriced Ford for the blue hair set.
No more Hummer (I hope), and GM put Pontiac, Saturn, and Oldsmobile out of their respective miseries. And now Mercury can die a similar death due to lameness.
Once there were cool Mercs before you'd see them driven in droves up and down from Florida, racing to early bird specials instead of checkered flags.
For example:
Even rad surf rigs:

East Coast Contender – Straight outta Manchester-by-the-Sea
“Yeah – they made good surfboards in Manchester back in the ‘60’s.” Who were they? What were they? And how is it that I have never seen one?
Ladies and gents – the East Coast Surfboards Contender Model:
Pulling into the lot earlier this week, I see this da Cat style fin head and shoulders above all these other plain ordinary fins on the roofs of cars. It belongs to a Lanesville dude. It hasn’t missed much sun either, but it’s about 44 years old, and never got mowed down into some back yard re-do. Or mowed into some ledge.

Belated Muscle Car Monday
Up in Maine:
a 1971 Chevelle SS 454.
It showed up just as an amazing '67 Buick GS 400 was leaving. The beer can gold color - I had to look it up: "Gold Mist" - had to be seen to be believed. The exhaust: distant thunder wrapped in velvet.
Hey Detroit: build them and we will come.
