This project really helps pass the time. Just thought I’d show you all what I’ve been doing down in Waltham. These buggers can really pack a punch if you feed them lots of nutrients.

Yes, the hamstring is gettin better, slowly. But it’s definitely less painful now. For awhile there it hurt to even sit in my chair in front of this screen. Never again will I ask Scottie to beam me up….
