Yep… I twisted down all the grease cups on the Generac and laid wood and kindling in the fireplace. Now to go to town for some Crown Royal.

Wow! A Town Car Ski-Doo!!! I wonder where that "snowmobile" is today? Surely something as unique as this vehicle is, it must have been preserved in somebody's barn all these years!?! It must have been a one-of-a-kind even back in the day!

110 degrees predicted here today, higher tomorrow! I'm going nowhere.

The RHD car is a Duncan and Fraser built car. Typical features are the crowned mudguards, curved cowl and brass cowl vents, one piece frameless windscreen and cast brass windscreen pillars Side lights put it at 1913-14.
