1982 Ford F-350.

Sinister Sunday, part XXVII: Heavy Duty Bonesman.

A 6,32 meter truck is not the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking of a vehicle to navigate through the narrow streets of Berlin Mitte. It comes with a few obscure details, including the XL batch, which does not relate to size but trim level, a giant Stockland camper top and a crew cab that will extend wheelbase up to 4,2 meters and give you enough space for your buddies or their mortal remains. If this all is not enough to express your special personality, the Dual Range auxiliary transmission by U.S. Gear Corporation from Chicago installed here might be it. Eventhough this car is an automatic, the extra transmission is a bit quirky to operate (considering most US customers will never drive a manual). Here is how it works, quoted from the manufacturer website:

„1) While the vehicle is moving and the driveline is under load (the accelerator is depressed), push the control module button on the transmission control lever

2) WAIT APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS! This will allow the spring assembly to load the Dual Range shift mechanism

3) Quickly, relax the pressure on the accelerator pedal and then re-apply full pressure. This action will NOT require the removal of your foot from the accelerator pedal“

It should be noted that the quicker this complete action can be accomplished the more likely the unit will be to shift smoothly. If properly shifted, a CLUNK should be noticeable upon gearchange.“

EARLY LIFE

Georgina was born in Essex, her family came from wealth and they lived in a luxurious 3.2 acre home located in the thickest part of Hatfield Forest. She wanted for nothing growing up and lived in a home full of love and laughter. She was born a twin and also had a younger brother whom she always adored and was very protective of. She and her siblings were homeschooled and didn’t socialize much as children or even into their teenage years. Their only real contact with the outside world was occasional family trips during which she made outside friends and at one point even managed to get herself a secret cell phone to stay in touch with people in the outside world. She became obsessed with fashion, beauty, music and technology, she started dreaming of going to the United States and attending college, something her father would never allow. When she was seventeen she ran away from her family home in Essex and stole a very large sum of money to help her get out of the country and enroll in the school of her dreams; Yale.

We are happy to introduce twenty-six-old Wolfie St James. She lived in Portsmouth Virginia until she returned to New Haven, Connecticut. She makes a living as a mechanic at Zenith Auto Body. She was in the 2014 graduating class and was a senior when Viktoria Abernathy was murdered. Her weapon of choice is her teeth.

CONNECTION TO VIKTORIA ABERNATHY

Wolfie often found herself in the library at the same time as Vik, their preferred study cubicles happened to be next to one another and they often shared basic conversation when they were there together. Never being incredibly close, Wolfie always thought Vik put too much pressure on herself - her list of extra curriculars alone was enough to make anyone exhausted.

EARLY LIFE

Wolfie St. James, born to Leland and Clara St. James on October 31st, 1995, was born to a life of privilege. As a real estate mogul, her father owns more land, buildings and store fronts than most anyone else in the country. Wolfie wanted for nothing, and asked for little. As the middle child, her older sister, Dove, has always been perceived as perfect, the beloved daughter and a gentle soul. While her younger brother became heir to the family throne. Despite outward appearances, behind closed doors, not all was perfect in the St James household. Incredibly controlling, especially to the girls, her parents, the strictest of Catholics, met any misconduct with harsh discipline and forced prayer, hours on their knees in front of a massive cross in their foyer. Wolfie didn’t take it well. The brunette girl rebelled and began a long-standing habit of getting into trouble, always in tandem with her best friend Simon Bowie. Practically raised together, the two were rarely seen without one another. Only made more permanent when a drunk driver killed The St. James’ when she was 17. Still minors, the siblings were separated, with Wolfie going to live with the Bowies. She knew her parents had always wanted her to attend Yale and she wasn’t going to disappoint their memory. So despite the growing list of criminal activities that her and Simon participated in, they both set their sights on the ivy league school.

LIFE SINCE YALE

Last Secrets of Skull and Bones

Last Secrets of Skull and Bones – Take a look at the hulking sepulcher over there. Small wonder they call it a tomb. It’s the citadel of Skull and Bones, the most powerful of all secret societies in the strange Yale secret-society system. For nearly a century and a half, Skull and Bones has been the most influential secret society in the nation, and now it is one of the last. (more…)

China and the Opium Wars

China and the Opium Wars – Why all this interest in China? Well, China, among other things, is one of the largest producers and users of opiates in the world. For a while, in the 1800s, the Yankee Clippers in Connecticut and Massachusetts were the fastest ships on the ocean. (more…)
