It's the little victories that make life so enjoyable. Sure I'd love to drive my flatfender from Alaska to Florida, but first just getting down the road is all I need for now. The coffee was hot, the flatfender ran like a top (other than the normal clanking and rattling) and life was good. The jeep still needs a fair bit of work, springs are sagged out, wiring is a mess, seats are junk, but it got me there and back making it a victory in my book.
