BoC and TF Admiral work. And learning how to lay vinyl flooring >:(
Where does the week go?
I heard some wives discussing once, how husbands are like vinyl flooring: lay them right the first time, and you can walk all over them for the rest of your life!
Looks like the video is not displaying but it could be something on my end. In any case is this Molly Hatchet?

Yep! -- Youtube hates our bulletin board engine, so the code has to be gotten by right clicking on the video to copy the code address (not copying from the browser address).
Thus:
Weird, I was able to watch the original video of a live performance, but the audio wasn't live. Might be a regional issue ? I think this was the one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW6q8_kV1Nc
Gaming wise I started playing Cold Waters again.
Sunday will be the first real nice day of the year (21° Celsius / 70 ° Fahrenheit). Perfect weather and nowhere to go as our lockdown continues ...
Stay save people.
Disappointed by the incompleteness of Bannerlord, I've fired up a new campaign in Mount and Blade: Warband. About 150 days in, I've pledged myself to the Nords, stormed Haringoth Castle, and convinced the king to award it to me. Now I have Count Haringoth locked up indefinitely in the dungeon of his ancestral home. Life in Calradia is pretty good right now :coolsmiley: ...unless, of course, your last name is Haringoth.
As for gaming and things this weekend...
1.) Various multiplayer games going, including a four player scrum of GMT's Cataclysm through Vassal. Our ArizonaTanks is managing the United States and France (I think, unless I've mixed him up inadvertently); another player is managing Italy and Japan; someone else is playing the United Kingdom; someone else again is playing Germany. That leaves me as boistrous peace-loving Uncle Joe, mua ha ha haaaa in the middle. (In this game, everyone is on a team except me. I'm my own team alone.) We've just finished Turn 1, so we're going into 1933-34 now.
2.) I got a yard dragon recently. My hatred for all allergies shall soon erupt into literal flames as I wreck my vengeance upon all weeds spouting up in the yard, mua ha ha ettttccc...! This weekend I hope.
3.) I may be closing March and the First Quarter for the last time this weekend, at my family's factory, thanks to us having sold to a (good!) new owner who has taken over doing that sort of thing. Thus meaning I might not have to after all. But I kind of feel like I should, just to be safe. Doesn't mean I'm looking forward to that... :buck2:
4.) At long, long last I've started posting up my (long, long, 875+ pages) chronological sorting and minor commentary of Victor Suvorov's Icebreaker Thesis material -- here at Grogheads (http://www.grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=24392.0) for perusal and further commentary, possibly including corrections. Ultimately I aim to make a video series out of it, but we'll see. Just being finished (or nearly) with the notes is a big achievement. :coolsmiley:
Not gaming much but am playing a bit of Diablo III. Toying with the idea of playing some Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and I am getting ready to jump back into Assassin's Creed: Odyssey again.
Thanks for clearing that up for us Jason!
I wish I could go back in time and put a cassette tape of that song into this bad boy and go cruising:

I think I saw Molly Hatchet three times in High School. They would play the regional theme park and you got the concert with admission. Ride roller coasters and listen to Southern Metal.

I was stationed at both bases. I was on the USS SARATOGA (CV-60) out of Mayport and at NAVAIRES and VP-62 at NAS.

Gaming this weekend will be numerous duels of MtG:Arena, some Civ IV BtS mp, and returning PBEM turns in four games of Field of Glory:Empires. Stay safe every one!

I had one of those back in 81. Plush ride.
Always wanted a Buick Grand National instead, but Monte Carlos were not to be sniffed at! As it happens, my parents had a Buick Riviera in the mid 70s, very similar (though an ugly grey-metal color). We managed to pick up another Riviera ten-ish years later; loved that car, had the first touchscreen we had ever seen, set in the middle of the console as a multi-function display, much like a jet fighter!
While I never did get a Grand National, I did score a supercharged Grand Prix after college, which was much nicer (at least compared to the black Buick Regal GS also being sold on the same lot, the quality of which disappointed me greatly since it was the direct successor to the National, also with a supercharger.) I still miss that GP; I traded for a G6 a few years later, but it wasn't quite the same, and I was going to go back to a GP instead on the next trade -- and then my beloved Pontiac shut its factories! :'(
I saw Molly Hatchet in concert once L-O-N-G ago. I was so messed-up I really don't remember anything buy the very bad sunburn I got there. 8)
Rome 2 with the DEI Mod for me. Winter 252 B.C. The battle of Thapsos, where my Libyan-Roman Infantry receives a charge by the Carthaginian Heavy Cav. It didn't go well for the Libyans but we won the battle.

You know better than to go outside in the Florida summer sun. December is brutal.
Am taking
Interstellar Space: Genesis out for a spin, now that the major 1.1 update is finally available in beta. It looks pretty sweet!
I'll probably also play some
Rome II with the DEI mod. That, or
Thrones of Britannia -- I've been reading
Sword of Kings, the latest book in Bernard Cornwell's
Saxon Tales series, so I'm feeling a bit...inspired. :D

Too many games these days!
My son asked me last week why i wasn't playing MOO:CtS anymore and i ended playing a massive game with the Alkari...huge war against the Meklars...great game.
Like Martok, i am going to play Interstellar Genesis....looking great with the new update.
Just finished my Egyptian Campaign in Napoleon Total War and am starting the European Campaign...such a massive map!
I will also continue my Learning Journey with Polaris Sector.
Finally, i also have a fresh game of Stellaris going on....
Too much!
Have a great weekend guys.

I agree. Games are slowly getting more interesting. I enjoy each little step on the trail to slightly more interesting. Meanwhile, mostly boardgames this weekend.
Started up PBEM games again. One in CSME, where i'm the Egyptians and a Brother vs Brother game where i'm the south. To early to tell how these are going but i did just take out 7 Israeli tanks on turn 4 of a 20 turn game \m/.
My daughter and I just found Carcassonne, man we love this game. A lot of strategy for such a simple game, i can see where this will be one of our favorites. She hates to lose to daddy. We've been playing the digital version, but ordered and just received the board game, so we'll be playing that this weekend. might just stick with the base version with the bishop, the other add-ons of which there are many just seem to complicate the game. The basic game just seems almost perfect.
I've been looking for a FPS to install and finish. I've installed and unistalled, Fallout New Vegas, wasn't feeling it, to slow. Dishonored, same reason, to slow. Think i'm looking for something with no story and lots of firepower. Reinstalled Amid Evil,a Heretic homage, i was halfway through when i quit it, so i'll keep on with that......it feels right...and i do love my green sword of death :knuppel2:. The map design is what makes this game rise above the usual.
I picked up the just released LocknLoad tactical digital base game. I've always struggled with impulse game systems, i just love the scale. It's pretty much exactly like Heroes of Stalingrad without the story campaign.
Be safe everyone
Having set fire to my front yard this morning :o #:-), I am sequestering myself upstairs in my room away from the flamethrower for at least a little while, as I ponder my mistakes and how to correct them for future operations... >:D

:o Was the mistake big enough that you were able to meet and hang out with any of the local firefighters? Or maybe other first responders? C:-) Those things sound like fun. I may have to get one...........

Heh, too many games is not a bad problem to have. :) Congrats on completing your Egyptian campaign in NTW!

Almost but not quite. It was moving fast in an expanding perimeter thanks to a brisk wind, and almost got out of range of my hose before I could stop it. At that point the local fire team would have been called pronto -- and by then, I would have been charged with not having called them in before the flame got out of control for several minutes before they arrived!
sigh. It could have been really bad. But I have adjusted plans for my yard dragon.
1.) Two-man team is essential, one to burn, one to immediately douse thoroughly with the hose. No exceptions.
2.) The hose must be charged up and ready to operate immediately.
3.) Stay within 80% radius of the hose at all times (so that the hose can get out around ahead of any spread if necessary, especially without dragging the hose THROUGH the burnt/burning area!)
4.) I need to get a better idea of what is necessary to kill the plant by shock without actually setting any sparks going. Only experience can tell me that. And maybe Youtube research. Part of my problem is that I wanted to ensure the root had died by zorching the stalk(s) as close to the root(s) as possible.
5.) Watch out better for nearby dry flammables. I was doing okay until I got to a part of the yard not yet greening out (except for the weeds).
6.) Watch out better for flare-ups in the rear. The two-man group will help with that, as will thorough dousing, but still the principle should be applied regularly just to be safe.
Note: I was using this, by the way, which I can readily recommend. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074JJRHF6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pratt please be careful you lunatic.
Congrats Anguille on the NTW Egyptian Campaign!
Molly Hatchet! Cool. "Dreams (I'll never see)" Flirtin' with Disaster, Whiskey Man, Bounty Hunter are my faves. Plus the Frazetta Art.
I've been playing Kerbal Space Program. I'm just been stressed. See I work in the "essential services" in retail so we're dealing with the usual, trying to do our normal tasks, then cleaning, sanitizing, and of course the customers (a lot aren't taking this seriously). The consolation is this week after Wednesday I'm off for the rest of the week.
Gaming wise..besides Kerbal - science mode trying to get Jeb into orbit and keep him there.

Check out Borderlands 3. Tons o guns and a relatively forgettable story that you can gloss over just to get the next objective.

Fortunately I live in the glorious state of Tennessee! (Wearing my newest TN T-shirt after work as I type. :D We love our state a lot.)
Honestly I was surprised at the flame spread. Lots of rain on us over the past few weeks, ground where there's no grass is still pretty muddy though not soggy.

I second Borderlands 3. Awesome game.
I guess setting your front yard on fire is one way to keep the Jehovah Witnesses away but it seems a tad extreme to me. ;D Just a tad. No insult intended to any religious group but the doorbell ringing EVERY Sat. morning gets old.
Ok we'll be back Monday.
Good! That's the day I groom Rottweilers with rabies. <:-)
Me too! I do the 3am drop off.
That's the roughest time. Rotties don't like to be woken-up early. And they also aren't keen on a bath that early either. :buck2:
They REALLY don't like bugs crawling into their asses either. Just putting that out there as a PSA.
On another note I have been enjoying Diablo III way more than I think I should. Just started the third chapter of my Lvl 47 Necromancer campaign last night.
HE IS BAD ASS!
I've heard that's a really good game. I never played either of the other 2 previous ones. How do you rate it?
Right now I'm loving it. It's great to just turn the brain off and destroy sh*t. 9 out of 10 devil's horns.
