Ha!
 a million years ago one of my friends introduced me to the wonderful world of computer games - they were very primitive back in the late 80's but I remember the first game I played on my friend's laptop - Lounge Lizard Larry!

That was the last time I saw or talked to him, he went radio silent shortly after that.....

Sad to hear about Justin. He was nice guy and a lot of fun to be around when I met him back in 2017 for a Mini run in the Hill Country.

RIP Larry Lizard

I believe he died while trying to solve a math problem.

What does 110 + 110 equal?

Not my phone a screen grab as I missed this.  I am assuming this is Harry Truman's Presidential Limo out getting some exercise on Duval Street in Key West.  We have toured the Truman White house in the past. Pretty cool piece of history.

I'm still arguing with FedEx about the invoice they sent me for my January order, right now it's in limbo again but I'm NOT paying it....it's stupid money.

But.....

One of my friends asked me to  find him a top mount screw on Moke gas cap for his 66 UK Moke and I did, at Moke parts. They want £85 plus £29 for shipping, which is about $155 in our money plus whatever insanity it gets charged when it hits the states. It's interesting that it takes great pains to point out the UK origin of the part, and that it contains no aluminum (ref Bruce's clock)

I'll see if I can attach the invoice....

Sorry to have missed this one. Still have not recovered from the move in January. And next month I get to have a hip replacement...
