Sorry, I was getting a bit intense in the last entry again.  I have taken a herbal stress-relief tablet and undone another button on my shirt.  

I bet this picture would taste good with a Duke of Beef Wellington.  

Poor old Napoleon.  I didn't realise that he only lived to be 51.  He became First Consul in 1799 after he staged a coup d'eTATE and was finally defeated at The Battle of Watercress.

Here is the original portrait by Jaques-Louis David.  I think that I have stretched it incorrectly and made him a bit taller and thinner than he should be.  If only people would do me the same courtesy when using my picture.

It is the best so far. Excellent use of a potato.

Ahem, plenty more where that one came from. As Nelson would have said, you need to keep your gunpowder dry.

How does a quad hold up in my part of the country ? One of the more frequently heard comments or question is regarding the quads is its reliability in severe environments. Many acknowledge the quads superior performance, but think that they won't survive the conditions in their area. We have example after example of the ruggedness and reliability in severe wind (Hurricane force), winter snow and icing. I refer you to the "Customer Comments Page" on this website. Honda ATVs.
