    Prepare the Yak II

    Finally--the paint. Almost ready for final assembly. Tomorrow everything will be dry. I even put some insulation on top of the oven. Who wants a hot foot? I'll put some inside but not now. Got to move on, man! I drilled and tapped the holes for the aluminum step's hold down screws which arrived today by SYD--Special Yak Delivery. The step will be etched but that can wait too. We got to drive! Install the oven and muffler + pipe. Finish the running board step. Put on the hood. Etch and install the dash plus wiring and we're on the road!

    Probably be in his old WWI flight suit.

    In your case, a yak hair suit would be appropriate.

    Chapter 9
    The Yak People

    Stopping to check his tires while crossing the barren Gobi Desert, our 1923 road warrior finds a beautiful yak maiden fending off three Ursus gobiensis--the dreaded Gobi bear--sent by Ergot, the leader of the evil Fungi tribe. Grabbing his trusty Dutch Beaumont rifle, he stands atop the speedster's stern and picks off the animals one by one. Grateful, the girl reveals herself as Joetta, daughter of the Yak King. While driving to the village, Joetta explains that the Yak People are in peril from Ergot and the Fungi who want her tribe's powerful fuel source--lizard dung deposits. For many months they have been praying for a savior. When they arrive, Joetta pleads with our hero that she will do anything for him if only he will use his wise 1923 science to save her people. After shedding his WWI flight suit and seducing her in an ancient ritual--demanded by the Yak King--our hero resuits and uses the giant speedster to drive Ergot and the evil Fungi into the Valley of Borax where they are enslaved by the Old Ranger. After a celebratory seduction ritual--once again demanded by the Yak King--our hero departs amid cheering Yak people to find new adventures.

    Maybe not the fumes; could Jerry have found some high octane Australian Ale?

  15. Maybe Chapter 10 talks about the White Wedding of our warrior and Joetta and the honeymoon somewhere in Colorado...

    OK, OK, point taken. So here is a speedy
    Yak-1 with an engine comparable in relative size to the Giant Speedster:

  22. I submit to the court that these events could only have occurred virtually simultaneously and that the timeline is full of yak stuff.

    Looking good Jerry. Like the heat gun idea to warm up the pipe. Have to add that to my bag of tricks. If you have trouble finding the Yak, perhaps some nice Mutton would do. :p

    The second greatest thing in the world is a MLT: a mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They're so perky, I love that.

    They're a great pick-me-up when you've been mostly dead all day too. ;)

    The speedster is big enough to run right over an ROUS though, so no worries there! :D

  29. "You ARE the brute squad!"
     
  30. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
