Abscate, thank you and sorry to hear that.
Proposal for the next challenge:
YVWNT a dog or better a group of dogs enjoying life (playing, digging, eating, being petted). |
Teddy, the rescue dog. 7 years old. Everyone loves Teddy.
YVWNT a place that fabricates, produces, or manufactures things.

This is from last summer at a VW gathering. The dogs were having fun so I thought I'd add the video to brighten things.

Well,as impressive as that is , you don't seem to be illegally parked.
Was thinking. More on the lines of a recent event,naturally occuring , or manmade.

The "Illegal Parking" thing is not a requirement in completing a challenge.
I illegally parked on Main Street a few years ago.
Abscate, was offering up some shit about it.
So I made I kinda a schtick, thing for the challenges. It has been a theme for a bit.
Even Abscate got in on the fun. Lol!
The idea is to, Complete the challenge by getting out and going for a drive in your VW.

Hey that was a fun campout. Cold AF but, still fun.
The Lobster Étouffée was a nice warm dish on such a cold evening.
The Moonshine helped keep the cold at bay too.
We, should have brought guns!
