Just a few things to button up. While I'm at it a coolant flush. Shit storm of old blistered pipes. 1/2 day job into 3 day running out-O-time lights out after dark repair work.
BETTER HERE THAN OUT THERE
Love the Vanagon.

See Skirmish ION 2022 only Vanagon there. Again.

Just getting ready to install my cloaking devices for off-grid camping. We have no campfire bans here in BC as of yet, but we will cook with phasers set on "medium rare".

I think that "fek" might actually be the Dothraki term for "sensitive and caring lovemaking".

I used Google translate for the Klingon, as I am not conversant. But I do speak German and French poorly and English adequately.

Thrusters only, don’t think 100 miles is enough to test the warp drive, Captain. At a minimum you need 100 parsecs for engaging warp drive…

70mph 2 hour straight run. 18.5 mpg. Bout 1800lbs of gear. No problems with power when passing at 75-80 mph. Uphill. Glad I did the transmission. Well matched to the SVX power curve.
