People literally walk on water! Last guy to popularize water-walking got a religion built around him. That guy was Rocket Richard; the religion is the Montreal Canadiens.

It’s playoff time, go catch a game.
I’m working from home today. Give me a chance to brew up a batch of BioDiesel, and maybe clean the last dirt off the Jaguar between emails and phone calls. Tomorrow I’m heading up to Vancouver BC for the All British Field Meet. I haven’t been in 3 years, and honestly wasn’t planning on it, but Nick asked if we could go. If any readers see us there, stop and say hello!

If you have a few moments have a look and tell me what you think.
I’m happy to scrap the whole thing and start over if need be.
We’re still looking for a guess for yesterday’s CPotD. Meanwhile, taking a break from the bonnets theme, here’s a BMW badge from a somewhat unique machine.
I spent the day fixing the Jaguar. The steering column is finally sorted out, and several minor things fixed. I’ll have more detail on the day’s activity tomorrow. Stay tuned.
OK, so after all those bonnets we have a mystery car photo that starts with a bonnet view. Do you know this car?
Here’s a hint from the other end of the car in question:
