Libations while working?
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
I have to say I'm a bit surprised.

I didn't think you would be one to drink on the job, much less be out screwdriving.

And whatever you do, don't get in the car with Luke unless you're just sitting in the driveway listening to music.

I would think the Texas State Patrol would take a dim view of that kind of driving.
Ok, back on topic, I like the ring idea

and you should drill a couple of holes to vent it too.
As for building a childhood dream,
![Idea :idea:](./images/smilies/icon_idea.gif)
do it, and name it

after your wife. She can't object to that can she? You know, by now the young lady you remember from your youth, is most likely not as you remember her. I mean look at me, I'm not what I was in my teens or twenties. Besides, at this point you should be more relaxed
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
with a huge smile

not all stressed out and stiff.
Oh, and I'm glad the dress
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
you were working on came out ok but never, never, never, make your wife wait for you to come to dinner. Are you making the dress for a female security team?
I have a yellow dress... someplace.

Well dear lady, it was well past 4 bells of the first dog watch
![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
and while I was on station, I was not on watch. My duties had been completed and I was giving myself the opportunity to splice the main brace.
![Exclamation :!:](./images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif)
Now while the scuttlebutt may have been that I was three sheets to the the wind, I assure you it was only two sheets. Besides, I think you're confusing me with the commander.
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
I'm just the bottle washer around here.
As for the Jan IV, sometimes no matter what, you just can't be disingenuous to the memory
![Exclamation :!:](./images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif)
yes I know women change over the years as when I came across this video of Sheena Easton doing "Strut"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtR3W1W8W0g. While not bad for a 53± (at the time) year old, when your memories are of her on Johnny Carson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUy6MAFSX6g, well, let's just say that it may be better to let the memories linger

. As for yellow dresses, I believe the Cantina casuals are just fine. If you do want to play security guard though I might be able to accommodate...
Ah drat, time to go.
Real quick thoughts:
1) Rocket, if you were to visit that other station, you would find I started a thread over five years ago (one of my first posts there) in which I discussed with the people there the possibility of changing the Renegades power sources. We didn't just go 18mm & 24 mm, we included the two 13mm. Now that would be something to see, A 3 cluster C6-0's with two B6-0's in the ram tubes and two A10- 3T's on the outboards to initiate the recovery for the booster. Mate that to a D-12 or E-9 in the sustainer and that baby would be zooming for the stars.
2) Mack, be careful on the amount of weight you add, even though it's a hog, it still has a lot of fin area for stability. I would have started out with maybe half that amount of nose weight and adjusted from there. Just my 2 cents.
