Well got my copy and downloading was a snap. Will have to break it to the fam that dinner is out of the question for the next couple of days due to budgetary surprise. Any idea when the skins and more planes will become available?

Congrats Lou

Well Olham, I have too agree somewhat. Thirdwire's First Eagle wasn't nearly as immersive.

December 22, 2012

2009. Right after I had contracted a virus that did a bit of nasty work on my equipment. Had to foreswear internet porn after that! A damn shame. Well, with plenty of free time I found other stuff on the internet including OFF. Actually, I was over at Third wire and saw this. Liked what I saw and bought it. Much safer than internet porn but for some reason not as loud.

Eagle has Landed cracks me it. It is indeed a classic. I like the following not in any order: A Bridge Too Far Platoon The Light Horse Patton I have a slew of other movies

I am surprised no one has mentioned Three Kings, GI Jane, or Fly Boys

There are a couple of books by Mike Snook on Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana LIKE WOLVES ON THE FOLD: The Defence of Rorke's Drift HOW CAN MAN DIE BETTER: The Secrets of Isandlwana Revealed

Yup I know that feeling. Also had the wonderful experience of get back into the cockpit, after a six week break from flying, and lost all of my pilots one after the other in one session. That really sucked.

Ugghh it is 99 F and feels like 119 F in DC, suppose to reach 103F. am going to the 150th Anniversary of 1st Manasas (Bull Run) on Sunday. Looking forward to it cooling off to 98F

well that is a pisser. Will miss the ol' goat

Hoping someone may have some suggestions as to where I may be able to get a replica of St Anne's Cross 3rd class, as I can't afford $4,000+ for an original.

I saw an article discussing the tax system over in Greece and it gave the impression that everyone grossly under reported their taxable income. Almost as if it were a national pasttime. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/02/world/europe/02evasion.html

Well I have attached a pic of medals acquired to date. Have one unknown medal in orignal photo and two more to acquire. Actually, three more the French medal is not silver but bronze

Thanks for the info Bullethead. Gnats seem to be out in force this year. I watched a orbital mass follow my 2 1/2 year old around the yard. She held her hands over her ears sayin' "daddy the mosquitos are biting me"

Had a great laugh the other night. My 4 year old daughter had an argument with my wife the other night. Wife: "Go downstairs and see your father" Daughter: "No…. he is working" Wife: "He isn’t working" Daughter: "Yes he is. He is flying his plane." Wife: "He isn’t working. He is playing a game on the computer." (And probably thinking: looking like a dork with that gizzmo on his baseball cap) Daughter: "He is not playing a game! He is on a MISSION!" Wife surrenders to daughter in a fit of laughter.

Good job Hellshade! Hope you had a witness for your claim

Just curious, who is Jubal The Twisted?

by Christopher Burgess. Has anyone read this book? I am thinking about buying it. Thanks

Lou, I may give it a go. I have a few of those you listed. The ones that I don't I'll add to the list. Thanks

Lou the St Anne 3rd class went for $907 and the 3rd class with swords was sold for $1530

Thanks Lou. The 4th from left on the bottom is a real puzzle. I'll have to do some more diggin' around

Beats me. I have about six of the books on your list, only 2 first editions. A very impressive library.

no idea. but if i had to hazard a guess, prior to 1935
