I don’t know who these people are, but I thank them for going all the way to Antarctica and providing the source image for our 2016 holiday card. ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )

This will probably be a lot less awkward that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Mrs McMike sent it to all her remote colleagues, and since I forgot to add the background Easter Egg to clue them in on that it was fake, they thought it was real.

She had lost some weight last year, and they thought she was using the card to show off her new beach body. She had to tell some of them about the pixels.

You should borrow a baby or 10 dogs or something outrageous where it raises questions. This is great and nessy would be proud to be in your photos.

Or you could have said something like this iceberg was the one that sank the Titanic, we hunted it down on our vacation to Antarctica.

Nessy was my Easter egg to let people we didn’t sneak off to Antartica this year.

We also joked about using a baby, as well as idea using two different cards:

One with me and another woman to send to my family

One with her and another man to send to her family.

Reminds me of the cards me and my roommates/fraternity brothers made one year, continued the tradition while we were all in school.

I’m the one holding the photoshopped cat, it was an inside joke.

you are better at thinking up trolling than I am. Those are great ones.

Also no 2016 for this years card?

In other news I was actually thinking about you today as I started a Bus search on a CL app I got, but this came up under the Manual search:

From just the CL ad your opinions? I can’t afford that right now as too many other project cars and such.

There is a lot missing from that van. Middle seat, rear seat, carpet, various interior pieces, rear speakers. Missing a tailpipe. That bed looks like it was put together in an afternoon with lumber scraps. There is some seam rust.

It’s badged as a GL, which is a mid-trim level. There’s not much of that trim left, though. No AC. This is the first year for the water-cooled engine (they switched from air-cooled in mid-83) It came with 86bhp from the factory. Top speed ~75ish @4500rpm

New head gaskets are just a 60k mile band aid if the coolant isn’t changed on a regular basis.

If it runs well, and you’re looking for something for cheap camping, then it might be worth a look.

Ha, that’s great. I love creative/silly holiday cards like that.

I just wish we got some. I’m thankful Mrs McMike isn’t the type who has to send a serious card like all the other ones we get.

Well, I’m thankful she plays along with my ideas.
