    Captain bLEEp star date 420.69.1977

    Unfortunately the first log entry is not very pleasant.  We were relocating and our pilot, Mrs bLEEp failed to take into account our clearance, tried to go under a tree and ripped a panel off.  Fortunately for us the panel got stuck in the tree and it is a minor repair.  The panel is fine, only...

    I have an idea, or two

    So I currently own a 1991 dodge 150 318 v8 I know the engine is worth more than what I paid for the truck which also included 4 kicker 6x9s and a pioneer touch screen DVD head unit. So I am wondering how much work it would take to remove the bed, and mount some sort of livable space to the...
