I’ve decided to make the Cushman look as much as possible like a well used and not too well cared for military vehicle. The latter ought to be easy to accomplish, the former should suffice with a decent coat of “desert sand” paint. I need to find a fabric for the seat that is both uncomfortable and long wearing while looking it’s worst from the very beginning. You know, in the classic military tradition.

Having gotten the brakes working, and the engine more or less running reliably, I feel I’ve made progress, but I’ve also got the “hood” painted and some of the dents beaten out of the rest of it.

for manufacturing your products in China. The Ipad has been knocked off– though they’re using the Android OS on this, and from all appearances, it’s a better system. Cheap, too.

When I was in Zambia hunting, we had a crew of support people that saw to our comfort. It wasn’t all the comforts of home, mind you, but we didn’t want for anything major.

We had one major luxury, though. In the middle of the afternoon our camp cook would start up a little generator and plug it into a little freezer, and in the freezer, he’d place a couple sixes of Coke.

African Coke tastes like Kosher for Passover coke, because it’s made with sugar and not corn sweetener. Coming back into camp at the end of a sweaty day and grabbing an icy-cold Coke, possibly one with ice crystals swimming around in it, was pure heaven.

Once in a while, I throw a Kosher coke into the freezer, just to remind me. Yesterday was one of those days, today might well be another.
