African cane toad. This is the bugger that is causing all the ecological problems in Australia.
On my way to work I pass this driveway, its steeper then the picture does justice but in any case I think if the parking brake were to release not sure that rock is gonna help much.

Try kissing that cane toad. See if it's a prince or princess.
The only way for the brakes to release is if the air system is charged with >60psi. There are very stout coil springs, contained in a steel canister at each rear wheel, which keep the brakes applied. The rock is probably just to elicit comments such as yours from passersby. Or, the brake shoes are completely worn out.

Small things in front of big trucks reminded me of this from 1966.
My father-in-law in my wife's and my 1965 Austin Healey Sprite beside the front wheel of his new Brockway. I don't think he thought highly of his daughter being on the road in our Sprite.

Yeah, I used to have a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine. Had to leave the top down all the time, because the top of the windshield was right at my eye level.

Yah, they're pretty poisonous, so I'll let the other toads figure it out.No prince or princess, but you might have a good time for a while.

The long tan colored bumps
extending back from the eyes are the poison glands. When they squirt, it looks like styrofoam.
Sounds like my grandson's spider man web slingers!
Not sure this was a wise decision....
These guys are doing a roofing job nearby.
I don't think they understand the true meaning of that idiom. Or maybe they do, and they are very expensive and don't care.

Nestled between Crab Pie in MD and Coconut Pie in VA, DC was strawberry Jello Whipped Cream Pie.
Of course it was.

Another one of the local Mozambique beers. Easier to pronounce than the Txilar, and tastes better too!

After a few of those tall 2M's, I had to think about that for a minute.
As the guy who throws more math at you than anyone else, I have to laugh at this.

I can't help but notice the 'MEH' on the landing gear door panel. 
Over the weekend had a bushel of some big guys courtesy of my uncle.
Used my old 8 gallon mega pot and blichman burner to steam them up. No those are not my corona's

Yup, I'm the unindicted co-conspirator. I had nothing to do with it, I solemnly swear.

OK, I use Old Bay on a lot of things. Crab legs, crab cakes, chicken, fish fillets, etc. The stuff is versatile. But never tried J.O. What's the difference?
They are very similar, one difference is old bay sold out to mccormick sometime in the 90's I believe and j.o. is still family owned. Probably a slightly different spice blend (j.o. is darker in color) and I think j.o. has a little more kick to it. If you were sitting at a crab house near the chesapeake they are likely using j.o. to season the crabs. My mother and her family grew up near Havre de Grace Maryland and this is what I always remember using when we would get a fresh bushel. I put some water and vinegar in the bottom of the kettle along with some of the seasoning get it boiling and use something to keep the crabs out of the liquid, toss them in about 15 at a time fit in my pot, sprinkling more j.o. on each one as they go in. About 15 minutes or so and they come out and into a cooler. Once the whole batch is done, dig in.
I need to get back to that area one of these days. Many years ago Uncle Sam sent me to the tidewater area of VA. I remember well the little hole-in-the-wall crab shacks along the bay. One place in particular had a dock out back where the local crabbers would bring them in. You knew they were fresh. Big wooden picnic tables with mallets and digging tools, a stack of freshly-steamed blue crabs and a bucket of iced beers. We'd come out of the place covered in bits of shells and cats would be following us. Damn good times.
We do a big surf & turf thing for friends every so often--steaks on the grill and a mess of king crab legs on the boil. (My old 10 gal brew kettle is now dedicated for that duty.) I usually dump in some Old Bay to add flavor, or sometimes the Zatarains stuff. I'll look for the J.O. online (I've never seen it in stores here).

I giggled at "JO in the kettle" because I'm 8yo
but I would totally try it.
also: looking at your picture, my fingers are feeling shredded
may have to convince the BigHair it's past time to visit our favorite AYCE crab house

Cool tip for Old Bay: it's great sprinkled on popcorn.
