^ Looks very nice, congrats!

We also get a new kitchen in april, but it takes some time until they deliver it. Wanted to make it myself, but then i intended to since five years and someone became ..ahem.. impatient

I hope you are spared of upcoming disasters like floods and earthquakes

I myself am plastic-sheathing/duck taping a leaky thermal window with poor flashing on the storm South side of the house and battening-down the hatches.. permanent solutions can wait. Fortunately the furnace was quickly replaced on Tuesday; the temp this AM was 29 degrees F.... Frost everywhere! The new (Wife's retirement) kitchen is nearly completed: still awaiting back-ordered dishwasher. The carpenters are hard at it again today.

< particularly pleased with the new garage door; the original had a small-pet aperture and was thus not to fire-delay code.

Particularly like the tile backsplash over a hammered copper basin:

Gas range/electric oven(better for baking) Egad! now to read all the manuals so I can live in my own kitchen! Should be done...in time for the next earthquake!

"Kitchen"..... "Kitchen", you say? Looks more like a bloody ballroom, (as you might guess, I'm pretty bloody jealous old mate

) Hope you keep safe Bby.

All the best

Precisely! my wife was getting impatient with the month long campout and it is a ballroom...

-the whole aspect is one of light and open space (bloody ballroom

) as a result.

Come to realize I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing while trying to land the TF-51D in DCS World. Not even the slightest hint of idea. So much for 30 odd years with virtual flight.

Fubar2Niner · 01-07-17, 08:47 AM

Trying to get BMS 4.33 U3 working seems the new update somehow broke HD monitor resolutions with nvidia. Anything above 1920x1440 gives me a CTD

I only ever played Allied Force so what would you say is "the thing" so to speak with BMS? Worth getting for someone strictly single player no TIR kinda guy?

Spot of shopping in the morning followed by pills and lunch and a relaxing afternoon reading the newspaper.

@ Steve.

That's quite a weapon you have there.

How much does it weigh?

Mr Quatro · 01-07-17, 10:16 AM

That's a nice instrument Steve ... why do guitar's have a hole in the middle and bass guitar's don't?

So your neighbors mind you playing that thing?

@ Aktungbby Wow! that's some kitchen ... is that a revolving SS pantry I saw?

Now you'll have to stay at home and cook more with a kitchen that nice plus not to mention to justify the price.

Do you like Chinese food? I'm available for an invitation for Chinese

I have a simple solution for that. Let's put you up in a real one. If you land it safely, no problem. If you don't? No problem!

Twelve pounds. A bit on the heavy side, but you get used to it.

Acoustic guitars have a hole because they are designed to be used without electricity. The guitar is hollow, which amplifies the sound naturally, and the hole projects the sound outward. Electric guitars also don't have holes, and you can't hear them unless they're plugged in. There are also acoustic basses, and these days acoustic guitars may also come with electronics. Even when plugged in the sound is different from that of a regular electric.

At home I have a practice amp with a headphone jack. When the 'phones are plugged in it shuts the speaker off so only I can hear it.

Catfish · 01-07-17, 05:16 PM

This new bass looks really nice!

Can we have an acoustic example at some time, with you and your band?

Two words mate, "Dynamic Campaign", yes I know you've heard that phrase before. In Falcons case it truly is dynamic, and BMS is built around the original. BMS takes the original to new heights, realistic flight dynamics, weaponry etc. Plus a ton of aircraft now available to fly. The best thing of all ? It's free !

Take a look on youtube some time.

Best regards.

Winter is over and Spring is here, last week freezing cold and now wet and mild so at this rate it should be summer by next Tuesday. Another relaxing day reading books and listening to the radio and wondering what to have for lunch.
