International 7300 on Salt Spring

Man scooters by an unusual Salt Spring sight

This customized International 7300, visiting from Oregon, was carefully not parked downtown during the long weekend. Good plan.

The vehicle was produced from 2004 to 2008, is a diesel 4×4 and weighs twice as much as the original giant Hummer.

I like the colour.

Ferry Feet

Ferry Feet One

August long weekend ferry overload

Mystery:

With little to do—squashed onto the Swartz Bay to Fulford ferry—I decided to wander around to see what I could see. Had a good talk with a guy about the Toyo tires on his Tacoma, something I need on mine soonish. Then I noticed some feet sticking out of a white car (perhaps a GM of some type) reading a book.

Wait; the feet weren’t reading the book and neither was the car. Someone with green rolled up pants was reading the book with her feet sticking out the window. I headed down to the car deck to see if there might be an interesting photo. Note the position of the green ‘pressure washing’ truck.

Eight minutes later (On the way I stopped to take a funny photo of two men sleeping sitting up in their car, one with a seat belt across his face. I decided not to show you that photo). Anyway, no long distracted, I went searching for the feet. Found them. And now with a table saw jammed into the trunk and ‘secured’ with a skipping rope, yellow polly rope and some heavy duty fishing line. So, good photo I thought.

But when I loaded the images onto my computer I noticed the car was no longer beside the green truck but parked behind it, the white car was now a silver VW and the feet…well the feet look exactly the same. Ferry Feet Two
