[simpits-tech] First milestone...

Oh yeah?

In a fit of foolishness, when I was 18, I bought a military surplus

It may not have been the most profitable thing I ever did, or impress as

smashing the hell out of anything around it, like snowbanks, wellheads,
pickup trucks,...

MP3 player, underlighting, interior neon trimmings, Sega Game Gear not
included.
