Well, we have the equivalent(s) of the kitchen witch too, there's the "Chew
and Show" picture of my husband, it's been going at least 10 years, in a
nice oval oak frame, to be displayed prominently for the season by the
lucky? recipient. There's a crocheted, err, mitten, and a heart shaped box
containing the spider gear shards from our departed PT Cruiser. The
"mechanical disaster award", as it were. I suspect my daughter will get
that for bringing "Twisted Metal" to the streets for real...I got a
mechanical quiz from my brother last year, a dead 1.8T turbo with the
inscription "Guess what happened". If you have a family, you too can start
a holiday tradition. The Boyko side just eats and argues, that's their
tradition.

Now, as for the video, two problems. Obviously the main one is DIALUP!!!
The second is the missing camcorder. Seems it went missing at the grass
drags (what sledders do when there's no snow) and has not been seen since.
This was the same event that proved Adam's Canon digital was NOT
waterproof. Hopefully he can get the camcorder back, there will be
pictures, no worries.

And  lied, after i said cars were off I went ahead and finished up building
a custom guage enclosure for Klaus.
