Now that's how you* tell a joke!

*except you, Don (Maryjane).
You're that wagonmaster who always claims "It's just a little-bit further"...which lucky for me fit's right in to my whole "books" & "exploration" weakness...

P.S. Love the Thurston reference!

Looks like something designed by Leonardo da Vinci... a true mechanical masterpiece. Kind of a shame it all blows up when the objective is reached.
