Bloody beautiful that.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

If you squint it looks like a mix between a nova and a barracuda

Spent part of the day working on my picnic area with water feature.  I have owned this property for 22 years and thought that some day I would develop a picnic area around the water fall.  The total drop is about 50 feet, but it has three drops with the last one about 30 feet.  Better late than never.  One of my interior roads travels next to the gorge that the waterfall drops into so it is easy to access.  So far all I have accomplished in cut out brush and move those rocks that can be moved to make a path.  First picture is where the spring comes in, the second the last waterfall and the last an overall view.

I did all day non stop messing with diesel stuff and tried not to remember too much about it.  12 hours of that is mind numbing.  Got home and cobbled a truck blind spot mirror on my bike as a rear veiw mirror and prepared all the crap I forgot to pack in this morning.  I woke up with 40 minutes to be at work from the bed and most detail stuff was left undone.  Made it with time to spare.

Restarting back with the stinky diesel stuff because my job at the other shop washed out on me.  The money is better but the hours went way up too.

Life is good, if a bit out of my control.

Pretty much all of the engines of the era then.  The car varients found in Mexico mostly had the L6 as the engine including the sporty looking ones.  There is a hatchback Nova version here from the late 70's I pass on the way home.  Stovebolt 6 and standard of course.
