Other projects also eat at that time, I'm working on the Leviathan build, a Ferengi ship, trying to do a tramp freighter in the StarWars 'Verse along with the Seolkis build.

On top of that are the family comittments, house chores, exercising and trying to get a few new parts installed on my '09 Versys 650.

If only I didn't need to sleep.

If you didn't sleep- you'd find more things to bog you down with.

Nothing much to report, shaved off the impulse drive area of the saucer to prep for rebuilding it;
