Yeah at this point there's something else wrong. USPS doesn't take this long to send a letter anywhere in the US so it's either lost or they haven't sent it.

I can't find any way to send Dave any weird Canadian cigarettes without hiring a courier and paying $300 on a $100 carton. International shipping sucks :(

Oh don't feel guilty at all, someone else did help me out. And then a package of kippered herring, sardines, marmite, and the Queen arrived and turns out I like sardines. I also like draining the sardine can directly into my open and waiting backpack. Today a soup and drinks package showed up from Amazon, so I've got liquids covered and thank you to the dude who sent like a thousand cans of cherry coke. And now I've got nicotine and tools are arriving tomorrow so I can safely say i won't be busy doing a god drat thing for another week until supplies run out and I decide to cut up my debit card whenever it shows up just because I love this hosed up merry go round and never want off.

I was thinking about how to make a bike working stand out of the cherry picker and some of the trunk mount bike racks that are lying around here and then I thought about how tremeks bike would look strapped up on there and then also to the front of the trailer and then all I could hear was "Organic, his job is Parts bag" and might have started drooling a little

Glad the package arrived
Fun fact about marmite - some travellers believe it keeps away insects, though there isn't anything to prove this.
Marmite themselves suggest disolving it in water to make a tasty drink assuming you enjoy drinking seawater.

Oh man, I don't think untaxed reservation smokes have made their way out here to the west coast yet. Then again, they might have, but I don't smoke so I wouldn't know where to find them.

Something tells me shipping Dave a plastic bag of Indian loosies would be a bad fuckin idea

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
So what happened to dick's tools? They didn't show up with the bike I guess?

I seem to recall near the sort of beginning. The truck was in the field, and the engine itself had been swapped, or was in the process of being swapped, dick saying something like "slow down guys, you'll be finished before I even get there".


Lol at that....

Dave and I just conspired to get him the whiffletree ordered. It should be delivered to him next Tuesday or Wednesday.

In the meantime, if one of you feels generous, help Dave find a temporary remedy for the flies...

I've been following this saga from the beginning, and what a ride it's been. What's the final plan? Dave gets the truck running and whoosybucket flies up to drive it home/adopt our favorite War Boy?

re: the biting bugs: in about a month they'll be gone and you'll be wishing they were back. It gets down to -40 there, doesn't it? WINTER IS COMING

My father, an HVAC tech, always had some kind of industrial-strength wasp spray on hand, they only sell it at HVAC supply houses.Shoots a stream out to 30 feet, kills on contact. And God help you if you get it on yourself.

I have a feeling the Panther Piss has the same effects on insects and may even count as a war crime.

Yes, actually. But the ones we have here don't bite, I only have mosquitoes trying to sup upon my precious bodily fluids.

Clearly you are not well acquainted with industrial degreasers. Yeah all the good ones cause cancer and birth defects and poo poo, but from what Dave has said, panther piss is a war crime in a can, it'd just dissolve the bugs midflight. IIRC there's a warning on the can that includes the word "defatting"?
