Encountered a nice older guy not far from home this afternoon. He's a man who has his work cut out for him.

There in his side yard was the shell of a black 1919 Ford Model T. He had rolled it out of his garage just recently. He intends to restore it.

He said the ancient car, what's left of it anyway, had spent part of its life in a field in Montana.

Sure, it's a pretty simple machine. But the extent to which this is currently a "Before" picture cannot be overstated.

He said his late father used to have a Model T and that he wished he were still around to help with the restoration.

Yeah. It's always good to have a loved one assisting who can say, "I don't think it is supposed to go like that."

I wish him well and will be checking on his progress.
