It’s not the fastest tool. It’s not the prettiest. But in an era of bloated Electron apps and cloud-dependent flashers, J-Runner 0.3 Beta 8 remains a monument to “if it ain’t broke, don’t update it.” j-runner 0.3 beta 8

Remembered times of days gone by. Daddy got the standard panther and we had our fun living in the north east when we actually got snow in the winter. So like 4 months of fun. Had it for 3 years but he sold it well because me being not afraid to run it like I stole it & mom worried I would kill myself or worse🙄. But life went on and years later in my 20’s I got another sled for one winter. And yes I sold it for the same reason, before I killed myself or worse 😁. But hey even with all the other things I’ve done I’m still here and pushing on showing the grandkids and other young ones how to ride everything and how it ain’t so easy to keep up with me ak uncle Art, ak ‘pops’ ak Big Daddy 😁😁😁😁
