firehawkordy 34 Posted June 25, 2018 Well, it's been a while but plain and simple my simming PC is messed up and I'm too broke to get a new one until next year. That and I need both a new graphics card and a new flight controller. It's frustrating as hell since there are other games that I've had to stop playing util I can get things taken care of. On the plus side a few years ago I started a new hobby writing very bad fan fiction. I've written a few stories base on a few anime shows I like and the one I'm doing now is at 28 chapters and 250K+ words. Funny, when I was a kid in school I hated to write anything and I would choke when a teacher would assign a five hundred word essay. Now I find that I'm writing ten thousand word chapters and if I write less than that I feel that I didn't put in enough effort. Most of my stories are of the what if kind and my main work uses the canon plot and setting as the foundation but everything else was tossed out making the story line an alternative universe. I plan at some point to start writing stories based on FSX and Strike Fighters but that's a long way off. I hope all my friends are doing well and having fun enjoying their own hobbies and pastimes. We finally got the last kid out of the house and on her own somewhat. I'm still taking care of the youngest grandsons and trying to find things to do to fill my time since I retired four years ago. Had it not been for the little incompetent monkey that took the department over as manager I would have retired this year with thirty years but ....yeah, he's one of those guys that's afraid the senior most underling will be a threat to his authority. That's what I hate about working for civilians, they don't understand that to a Vet a supervisor is in a position that we don't want to have because of the BS one has to put up with. But, Karma has struck and the upper management had finally had enough of his never finishing or delivering what he stared or promised and his blaming others for his screw ups. He was let go a couple of weeks ago and since he was management and not union there was no appeal to their decision. His superior had offered me my old job back since the hospital had split from the County and is now it's own entity my past employment and retirement doesn't count. Saying that however my wife said no, my back is just too messed up to take the offer. All in all I and the family are doing great and to add to our house we wound up taking in two more kittens. Our male is not happy, he know has four females to deal with and is very insecure. I can't understand, I thought every male would love a harem. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FalconC45 162 Posted June 29, 2018 Hey bud long time no type LOL. Glad you're doing well minus the gaming pc. Have you watched any new anime lately? OH! I'm writing too. I did a short story for a charity EBOOK for an godzilla fan foundation called GFans helping GFans. Its free for now (in fact I'm gonna talk to the head organizator of the EBOOK next month asking him when the EBOOK is gonna be on Amazon for 99 cents.. it's been free for a long time) Anyway go to smashwords.com and search for GFantis versus guest monsters. my story is titled the intruder. Take care bud :) Falcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
