S-Cargo

There were 4 cars in this design series.

Be-1, Pao, Figaro and S-Cargo

Pao probably sold the most.

Funny, in French "S-cargo" phonetically sound exactly the same as "Escargot" = Snail !  ;D

Nice little car btw.

Nice morning walk along the Inner Harbour today. Most of the boats all out now.
Spoke to a fisherman this morning and he showed me a pic of his +20lb Rainbow caught just yesterday.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Saw this on the way to work, on the edge of a golf course.

This is an Osage Orange, and the fruits are grapefruit sized, but heavier.

Pretty interesting to see many dozens on the ground under the tree.

Very cool.  Had to look that one up.

Osage orange fruit are definitely not edible, and most foraging animals will not eat them. Only squirrel and the deer will eat the tiny seeds inside, which are the only edible part.

What can the fruit be used for? Osage orange fruit contain a chemical compound 2, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydroxystilbene, which is proven to repel ants, boxelder bugs, cockroaches, crickets, fleas and spiders. To use the fruit as a pest repellent, cut the fruit in half and place it in a dish located in the pest problem area. The fruit will ooze a messy milky sap as they degrade, so the dish is important to avoid the mess! One piece of fruit will last for a few weeks.

Yea, I brought some home for the squirrels.

And I had picked up a ripe one (it was dark-ish) and there were ants on it!

Finally got a painter over this weekend to do my main interior and he showed up in this unicorn.  It's a 2012 2wd shorty in mint condition.  He bought it a couple of years ago from an estate sale.   He knew the former elderly owner and the history behind the truck.  At the time of purchase it had only 17K on it, was like new, and never driven in winter.

This is how I'd want a truck for my own personal use....easy to drive and park.  I'd want a 4x4 and throw a cap on the back.
