Mercury Moon Pies

Today's story and sketch "by me" you see the Mercury Moon Pie Blimp #79 in this

years "EBRA" Earth Blimp Racing Associations, around the Earth once no mater

how long it takes race. The #79 is an interesting entry because of it's long

history of delivering what the company considers the moon pie of the Greek Gods.

Mercury Moon Pie Wrappers say, if you are unlucky enough to be going to the Under World, be sure to take along a Pie or Snack pack of Mercury Moon Pies they will guide your soul on the journey, and are a great snack if you get hungry in route. But that is a great advertising story for another time.

Today we are mostly interested in the lower corner of today's tale where you see

Steve "Watapie" Gofish, under the hood of his Vintage 65 Malibu Super Sport

that He transported all the way from Southern California to here in Greece,

so he could follow his #63 Whatapie Racing Blimps progress across the country,

(and hopefully meet a few Greek Girls).

So far Steve's Malibu has been troubled with clogs to his fuel system after

he ran low on race gas and had to fill up with (Buttanol), Greek automotive

fuel derived from grape and olive skins, the fuel works some of the time in

(Fiats or Namco-Citroen's), but most owners never figure out the reason there

cars or farmobiles quit running is because of the "Buttanol", clogging the fuel lines, or the fact that it only has 23 octane, which is about enough for an

oil lamp if you run out of Whale Oil, but that is a story for another time.

But back to Steve who is under the SS hood changing the Fuel Filter (Again)

seems some of skins are still in his tank, but we must be moving ahead with

the blimp pack to the next check point number #51 in Clitlekatta Central Greece,

until then taa ta the Rod Blog.
