The "marauding lion" mark on the action makes me think the trigger assembly is genuine British East India Co., probably from around 1800-1850, but the Persian-style stock and the flared barrel aren't really consistent with muskets of that time. So I still don't know what I got.

Reminds me of the day I bought my 996 with no PPI. :D

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

A text from Mrs. Schell this AM:

"A guy just stopped me on my walk on Sheldon ( the street above us) and asked if you were OK because they hadn't heard your Porsche in a while. perhaps you need to drive it tomorrow. It's pretty funny you're known by your car sounds"

I've been driving the Jeep because of recent rain, and the 'Vette for the past two days because it never gets any runtime.

I guess I'll be driving the 996 tomorrow.

How long has she been married to you? Doesn't she know by now that they proper answer to "Is Schnelly alright?" is "No. No he is not. In fact you just can not fathom the depths of how not alright he is."?

Speaking of, I was watching something yesterday and there was a reference to Human Centipede. Fuck you for making me know what they meant.

Seems like your exhaust modifications(did I just say that out loud? Hey Mr/Ms CARB folks I was just kidding...) have been recognized.

Better known for that than to be known for other "personal" sounds.
