Because I have +1 to add to the Jazz/Fit pile.

789 miles in the making, and some had-to-use-a-calculator execution, the Legacy just rolled it’s clock onto consecutive numbers!

That is all. Merry Christmas all, and a Happy New Year for 2019 as well. Do not expect to be hearing from me in the near future.

A six month old lurcher/shepherd sort of thing who came all the to the UK from Romania via bus just 4 days ago.
