You teased me with the video. I was hoping to hear the motor run....

And when I move back to central FL, will you teach me to build a sick motor like yours?

It appears that I have to explain my choice of words, based on some of the comments....

"The Necropolis Litharge" is a bit of an inside joke - in a similar vein to my "Type-R" jokes.

If we shared the same reading habits, the joke would become obvious. Thus, it's my usual dialup warning (of a slow and painful death if they open this thread because of the many large images), plus some humour plus some other things that will become clear as time progresses.....

"Cerements"

The fifth story is told by an apprentice from the necropolis Litharge, a city devoted to the dead; its inhabitants know countless methods of burial from manifold realms and cultures. The most complex of the stories in Worlds' End, at one point it itself features a storytelling session - thus leading to stories within a story within a story. Petrefax tells of his apprenticeship, and relates the stories told by other masters and apprentices at an air burial to which he is sent. This story, and the one that follows it, are important to events in the tenth collection, The Wake.
Since this is the 10th instalment of The Grond Chronicles, this Dialup warning made sense, especially since it was preceded by "Cerements" and will be proceeded by "The Wake"

There are other subtleties, but of those, you will have to discover yourself...

Stephen are you concerned at all with clearance issues from your tubing off of your cooler? Looks a little low. But it looks KICKA$Z through the opening of your tigershark front end.:thumbs:

Wow, and I thought this was a story of a Vette that blew it's engine and the repair (major surgery) that followed.

And now the literature hour! :eek:

Cool. :cool:

EG, I am sure that given time, you will be teaching us about fine wines and giving us some culture. :lol:
