Found a somewhat abandoned garage in the boonies while out dirt-biking. 
This was in it.



I stuck my phone in through a broken window for the pic

^^Boss!
 That looks to be a pretty rare Ford Galaxie 500 convertible. The hood may not be stock.

Kingston is bad for people driving vehicles into buildings, I think there were 3 occurrences this  week, not including the bus :o       :skid:

Mom and Dad's house is on a curve on a hill.  During the late '80s a number of cars took out our fence - the two I remember most are a Suzuki Samurai and a Dacia 1410...
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

Yeah, it’s waterfront Lake Ontario spitting distance away from the house so ~$5M anyway just for the lot.
The place is in need of some TLC or a tear down.

Trophy truck with a decorated Christmas tree in the bed. Seen this thing before, but this morning he's got the full tree in there, lit up & all.

Out for a walk this morning with the boys and we met a pair of Coyotes in my neighbourhood coming back from their morning hunt.
