Destroy All Earthman!

Where to begin. Took off Friday afternoon at thirteen hundred hours and traveled solo through the meat duke of Iowa. I lost rear brakes almost from the moment I left and when I say lost, I mean I completely blew out a piston seal! Front brakes were still holding strong but bad fork seals make for shakey stopping. Bub shield keeps my handsome face from being destroyed by earth creature and space debris. Burning oil fast while traveling along the river. Skipping from state to conscious state I see a spot to land, refuel, and recheck my ship. Acid rain kept me grounded for an extra hour. Finally moving at light speed until a fellow traveler alerts me to a lack of light function. I keep pushing with the sun’s rays guiding me closer to home. Finally the blackness falls and I’m forced to stop to make repairs. Luckily I wired this vessel myself and the trouble is tracked down and promptly rigged. I just hope my repairs hold… fingers crossed. I finally crash land back at home base after 9 hours of travel. My ship badly damaged, leaking, weary, and in need of serious consideration. None the less… I am home again. Alive to tell the tale!
