Tonight's boiler report.

Captain's log star date 2020,
We've been travelling through space for a few weeks now, first on day then on nights, making steam, sometimes lot's others not so lot's. Darn we even picked up a couple of hitch hikers a crazy one eared giraffe and his fat friend the elephant. Both have no hands and are therefore useless, but I might get a couple of bucks for the deformed giraffe on one of those small obscure moons that go for that sort of thing.
Most of the crew are managing to maintain their sense of humour but as always there are some that are making heavy of the situation. For ch_ _ _ sake were in a tin can surrounded by stars that look like sawdust blown around on the north wind of a mid summers night. Darn some got in my eye, it is sawdust, and it's not summer. Where's that darn elephant when you need him.
Darn might not be strong enough word to express the gravity of the current chain of events but we are bound be earthly constraints and the company computer system. Darn!
I also started a couple of kilns, picked up dirt, made steam, might get a steamer started and washed out flappy thing out the back.
