Car Shell

I have a car now that is a shell of a car. I pronounced it dead today.

But... couldn't I make an engine? Not your regular engine... a weird one. Just enough to get to HEB and Starbucks. Do an errand or two. It's kinda fun to think about.

A car is an interesting thing. When you strip it down you realize that it's a box with circles that turn.

Spoonbill may go into rocket building... but not for space --- just for HEB :) That'd be too good. I mean too good. I wish I had some money to throw at that.

Small start. If I got a makeshift electric engine in that Honda and drove it to HEB, I can tell you... when I step in that HEB I will say, "That is one large step for man, one small loop for mankind."

I feel rather tired at 1:40 am each and every night.

All you have to do is turn the wheels. It's already set up. You just have to turn a crankshaft. I mean, come on.

Well there's the air conditioner. That might be hard to turn along with everything else.
