Got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
You and I we sent each other stories

Car is currently off the road after some slippery fun in the snow last Saturday.

On the bright side, I got to see Darkest Hour.

I'm fine, wasn't going very fast.

Came off the road three times trying to get to the local highway in order to get to work before giving up and heading back home. Following day I discovered a flat tyre and a damaged wheel, so had to get a new wheel and tyre (hoping it doesn't take too long to arrive).

Do you at least have a spare tire that you can use till the new wheel comes in?

Donut is better than no wheel.

Considering I do a 40 mile round trip on an almost daily basis I rather not have the spare wheel go.

Been to the hotel he requisitioned as well, the Petwood. As hotels go, it's nothing particularly special. As history goes, it's different class. There's a No. 617 Squadron bar, and above it is the bough of a tree that one of the Lancasters brought home, having clipped it departing Yagodnik, Russia, on the way to bomb Tirpitz.

Another dumb question:
1) Does anyone here - or anyone reading this - have any experience at all using Shipbucket?
2) Does anyone here know anybody on the site good with ship design (and I mean nautical ships, not spaceships or stuff of that nature)?

It is RP-relevant.

2. Sorry. If you had meant spaceships, I'd have been more able to help.
