+Erik 1,768 Posted April 8, 2007 I'd have baked a cake but I can't cook worth nothing. I once tried instant oatmeal and burned it. I thought the water listed in the instructions was to put out the fire. Who woulda' knew? Happy 50th! E and the CA Team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+pcpilot 181 Posted April 11, 2007 LOL! Thanks guys, I can honestly say you all made my day. Im sorry I didnt see this a little sooner but the wife and I are getting ready for a move, packing and all. Speaking of my wife, the little sweetie made me a cake to go with a special dinner for my birthday. Then she gave two great books; one a pictoral history of the civil war with something like 4000 pics! The other, a book on English and commonwealth pilot wings called "Eagles Recalled". I mainly just collect U.S. WW2 memorbilia but the history is still fascinating, espesially as her dad was a soldier in the British army during the war and Ive always appreciated our good allies anyway. But the funniest part of my birthday was the card she gave me...starts out with a beautiful picture of a sunrise and a bird in shadow in the distance coming towards you..."Oh look! Here comes the blue bird of happiness to tell you how good you look on your 50th birthday!" You open it and inside is a picture of a dorky duck thats just landed in front of you and the words..."Oh wait, my mistake...its the duck of denial..." PS. It is conforting to say the least to know Im not the only geezer around these boards... now...where did I put that sliderule? Maybe it was near the wireless...cant seem to remember...

I guess that makes it official.....sheesh!! Wrench kevin stein ps: for the non US readers, AARP is the "American Association of Retired Persons" ie, old fogies!

MadJeff 3 Posted April 14, 2007 MJ! Howyadoinman! I havent heard from you in a while. Kinda figured Washington had fallen off the earth. A PM is on the way... Doin' well old man! Working, living life, the usual drill. We moved to Vancouver, WA last May and I work across the river in Portland. Been pretty much out of gaming and sim stuff for too long, but have started getting the itch again and thought I would drop by and see what the old gang was up to. I just unpacked my CH gear and dusted it off and was thinking about firing up this copy of F4:AF I picked up for 5 bucks at WalMart awhile back. But I'm afraid if I do I'll get sucked back in with you sorry bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
