Um,... I am a truck driver, at one in the afternoon I am in northern Michigan going 65 mph on a freeway...
Be happy that I now have a laptop and access to a wireless connection....
Btw: northern Michigan actually has Wolves and Bears walking around.....
it is the definition of "The Woods" |
you have wolf powered shrubbers in your truck?.....
I'm in the same boat... @ 6pm I'm still on the office or driving home... I just switch over early. and set the computing resources to 0 and 0 .
that way you at least get pretty close to the start......

Sorry I missed this one, a rather extended "dirty weekend" (as in Swarfega) intervened.
I went to a friends for dinner last Saturday (the 13th, what else), and it emerged he'd bought an old, low mileage, Hillman Imp... and I sort of talked myself into giving him a hand with it.
So, 10 days later, I'm back home, aching in every joint and with not a knuckle un-skinned but happy, after a complete engine and gearbox strip and re-build, plus all 4 corners done; I've left him with the body to do. And it runs!!
It's 40 years since I had one of these; it's engine is an aluminium block, based on the 60's Coventry Climax F1 engine; to remove it you stick a couple of bricks under, unbolt it and push the car away - great bit of design.
Lots of memories of Uni days when I rallied one.

A great design indeed... luckily, you don't require to unbolt the car and push the engine out, that could be tricky
