That’s a paddlin’
Paddlin’? So what’s the outboard for?
Not a joke: Norway’s ship authority is likely to demand an engine to be mounted in a 10 year old Viking ship copy. Why? A rule change says this is now a passenger ferry. I’m a paper mover myself, but it’s stuff like this that gives us all a bad rep.

“We always have with us a workboat that could push the ship and get us out of any trouble”
Does the engine have to be mounted in the same boat? Really a case where the bureaucrats should think a bit more before responding to such cases.
It’s an outboarding school!
Must be a vo-tech bus for one of those crab fishing shops.
School of Fish, you say? (warning: ’90s flashback)
“Vårmønstringen”, my region’s biggest car show, in typical weather. A field trip my son and I made yesterday. Here’s a selection of pictures:

1969 ‘zone – Volvo’s are truly the bread and butter in Scandinavia, which is a bit sad…even I wasn’t excited to see one, and surprisingly few showed up

1938 Opel Super – I had never seen one before. The low windshield was crazy attractive, even though 1938-me would have ridiculed the lack of visibility, for sure

This one’s exclusively to please Mr. Harrell

Lots of great stuff there. Thank you.
I do appreciate the shot of the Ford emblem but still can’t restrain myself from pointing out that the red P1800 is instead actually an 1800S.
You are absolutely right.
Many of these yellow school buses are powered by the beloved Ford/International/Caterpillar 7.3L Powerstroke Turbodiesel. Somewhere around 525lb-ft and 275 horsepower. Surely a lot more powerful than whatever’s on that boat.
They will have to keep that in mind should they try towing the bus with the boat!
Here’s an adventure bus I spotted back in 2011: https://goo.gl/photos/7t33azMTqD4wJ2nu6
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a flat-front short bus before.
Taken in Olympia, WA?
Yes, but I’ve never seen it since. Must have just been passing through.
