Was cleaning out my toolbox and came across my first digicam, an AGFA piece of shit from around 1999-2000. Thing would kill all the batteries in 10 pictures, so it had a short service life.
Found this unknown LeMans with a fairing. I don't remember where I took the pic. Also found some pics of my brother and his date from 9 years ago.

Kick in the Nuts II
Today work sucked. Dude called in sick (hangover). Pissed off the boss, who was on site.
Boss yelled at forman, foreman yelled at everyone.
After work I just wanted to go home and Howard Hughes myself. 10 miles outta the mill, I met Mr. Nail.
FUCK!
Another pickup truck ride back to the club.
Will order a tube on payday.

They built these engines one town over in East Hartford, CT. P&W and it's subcontractors still employ many of my friends. Maximilian's grandfather worked his whole life there.
