Even though he's not active on here, there's another Volvo veteran I keep up to speed and therefore he comes on to look.... Robert Spinner. Woo woo!

To be honest, I just thought it was a joke unrelated to anything I mentioned. Now that you say that, I understand that probably comes from some sort of movie. Is it Robocop or an even older movie? Science fiction for sure.

1/29/26 somewhat-revealing teaser update:
Juicy electrical component 2/2

I must say I've been stressing because my goal is to buy the metal for the wall, not all these other things. I'm torn between all of them because I am good at getting deals on eBay. So I promise the next major purchase that I make for the trailer will be that metal. February will be a tight month for me.

You know what kelly Clarkson says right?
Here I am, once again, I'm torn into pieces.

You know what Weird Al Yankovic says, right?
My house is filled with this crap
Shows up in bubble wrap

What I bought on eBay......
End: What I bought on eBayyyyyyyyyyy-y-y-y-y.....
