@rood @VeroniqueB99 I regret buying my wife. Cover motorbike and she's yours.
Am I doing this right?
Great indeed! :)
Cheaper than going to Iceland, come to think of it, you could also buy one without going there.
But you would miss the great food of course...
Like the traditional fermented shark or a nice sheep head...
Cheers!

Before they invented international tax loopholes, Iceland was really really poor. So I guess the head to eat that,not because it was tasty, but because that was all they had.
Same with Switzerland…. 😉
Indeed... could not afford to have anything to go to waste...
this is the kind of wholesome content that a grinch like me should grumble about but somehow i'm mysteriously entertained!
Yes. Yes, it is.
@VeroniqueB99 Time to turn off all the media and go to bed now, cuz nothing in my timeline will beat this story for today.
G’night!
@EyeOnAlaska 👍 😊
edit: just checked out your profile. I left my heart in AK (first time ever I missed my return flight by 24h because I was just a goner). I have to follow you. 🥰
Yes!! A wonderful tale of serendipity & things that come together to make a difference: unwanted moves to where it’s wanted… and it’s a gorgeous jumper! 🙂
Had a similar experience recently, although it wasn’t with a total internet stranger.
A college friend of mine who is on a group chat mentioned one of his regrets was getting rid of his copy of a quirky old TSR RPG called “Star Frontiers”.
Turns out I had a copy, so I sent it to him as a surprise!
I loved playing TSR's Star Frontiers!
I think I bought an extra base game when I saw one a few years back...
We only ever got it to the table once as a one-shot.
It was fun until we did a chase sequence on that map that came in the boxed set.
Either the rules for chases were broken or we were way too young to understand them, because the PCs could neither gain ground on the people they were chasing nor did they ever fall further behind. So the game kinda lost momentum for us there.
But it had lots of fun, quirky game world stuff. I'd give it a go again.
Two best friends and I played Star Frontiers in our teen years, after years of D&D. Our characters finally saved enough to design and buy a spaceship of their own, and that's about as far as we got. (I redrew my friend's original design using early PC-based 3D CAD, which won an award at the county fair!)
@VeroniqueB99 Love it! 🤩 She has also blogged about it:
