Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
I'm impressed .. but really starting to worry. I think he's still tripping pink elephants@Opie gets both my respect and sympathy. I've smoked awful cigars back to back, but that's some seriously damaging shit. You certainly don't shy away from a challenge! My God, what a dumb/smart year to sit out!
LOL I"ll see what I can do ! This update was the project tonight ..I bet @Opie clears his travel schedule for 2 months around the expected DRP arrival date next year. I mean, what a freakin' trooper! But I think this would have happened differently if he actually took delivery of the box... Live (or not) and learn.
To be honest, i think his palate has changed. It's a life changing Zen moment. He has become one with the Rocket. (Need a little help here @Bondo 440 , pic of meditation with 'shopped cigar needed...)
I've got one PR5 left... regardless of the results, let's vherf! I'm rooting heavily for @Opie btw. His daily penance is... uh... inspiring? No. Disgusting? Sort of. Disturbing? Definitely. But it's absolutely GLORIOUS!@gurgalunas
@Opie
Don't smoke any more rockets tonight , kids ! If I smoke two tomorrow, us three will be tied !
Then this might require a SUDDEN-DEATH DOG ROCKET V-HERf !!
Rooting for Opie too !I've got one PR5 left... regardless of the results, let's vherf! I'm rooting heavily for @Opie btw. His daily penance is... uh... inspiring? No. Disgusting? Sort of. Disturbing? Definitely. But it's absolutely GLORIOUS!
A gift from @presa_dad. He sent it out during the carpet bomb run. My favorite cigar standThat cigar holder bomb is awesome. Is there a story behind it?
Right On ! You earned it !Well, I had a DRP stick all ready to go this morning but a tie breaker V-herf sounds like fun. I smoked a “real” cigar instead. It was missing something. It didn’t coat my tongue in acrid smoke, it didn’t make me recoil in fear as I brought it to my mouth. No burning tires and cardboard.
it may take a while to enjoy “average “ cigars again. Is there some kind of rehab program?

Fantastic man! That thing looked horrible!!!.
So here's the infamous @EO80 E-8 Sh1t Missile®
This has been in a stable winador for 3 weeks and it still tried to disintegrate on first cut !

The thing was falling apart from the start. But I was just puffing away on it ! as we began the project.
... short story is, the transmission has to come out, and then I have to screw with it..

Starting to get greasy here, below. The falling apart is still going on. This tasted like cardboard,
You can tell that. It's just an old dried out cigar. It makes smoke though. Good for this shitty project.
Smoking and taking bolts off and disconnecting stuff.
.
I would notice my E-8 Sh1t Missile® would occasionally attempt to escape. I found it once hiding on a jack,
another time hiding in a socket tray . It made it as far as the garage, at one point.
Below, I found it sitting on a table I had for parts and pulloff hardware..

OK this is sorta funny. So the kid gets here at noon and I already have the car in the air. After working together a little while, the sun's out full force and sweat is falling like rain.
I asked the kid to get under there and give the transmission lines a try because I currently has used up all my most popular curses to apply to the situation.
The quilt there... is where we are attacking this crap, so the sun is beating right down on it. So I walk in the backyard and come back with this table umbrella and open it up.
He sees no base or anything. I wheeled the jack over and shoved the umbrella in the handle. this worked well.

With said solar tragedy averted, I can get back to more important business. Smoking my E-8 Sh1t Missile® !
.
I had to walk back outside to get this shot of the butt. This smoke was Ignored in one DRP and recast in another. We have no intel on this cigar.
But that's a qualifying finish. I'll fire up a PR5 tomorrow. And the Triple Tie Breaker Rocket Hurf may be necessary to decide the real winner !!
