It Never FRIDAYs In Southern California

[GroggyGrognard]

I just picked up Days Gone this morning and I'm going to dig into this weekend. The reviewers have been lukewarm about the game, but from some of the game play videos I've watched, people are really enjoying it.


Have a safe and fantastic weekend grogs!

Gotta mow for the first time tomorrow. I enjoy it, it's therapeutic.

I wish it were for me. I cut grass at our house, my mother in laws and then at our house in the country. That one is on a lake so the grass grows like crazy even in heavy drought. I don't mow grass. It mows me.

I'd pay somebody to do it but I'm far too cheap.

[Gusington]

I'll do it.

And have the wife watching out the window as the sweat glistens off of you as you work? I'm not going down that road again.

It never rains in California but it snows in Wisconsin.  5 to 7 inches of the heavy stuff.  In late April.  Five days after I drained the gas and oil from the snow blower and put away for the summer.

However, this enforced time indoors will give me a chance to work on some playtesting and continue my cross-country flight in the Steerman (formerly a Piper Cub).  Plus a FtF game of GMT's "A Distant Plain" on Sunday.  Of course, this is all after I refill the snow blower with gas and oil >:(

Yikes. I just cut the grass for the third time this morning. Sure ya betcha.

I cut the grass for the first time this year on Tuesday.  I really thought I had this winter behind me.   :(  Sometimes, I feel like Tevya in this scene from "Fiddler on the Roof"

The Wife probably wouldn't even see me 'til I mowed the grass, moreb :)

I haven't stopped cutting the grass this winter, about every 3 weeks or so. I'll be playing whatever I can play around my wife cleaning house tomorrow. So probably very little unless there's something I can manage with an, 'Endust High'.  ;)

[Moreb]

Well Slash, honesty is the best policy so I suggest feigning an illness or injury and mention what a wench somebody at work's wife is. 'But not you baby. You're one of a kind....'
If that fails, guilt is known to work around these parts.

Gus, when she said 'you get my motor running' I didn't realize it was a command.

Hey Moreb, I'm not sure if you've seen Miss Saigon, but if you haven't you're in for a real treat.  It's fantastic, and I'm not typically into plays and musicals and such.  Then end with the helicopter is pretty amazing.

No real gaming plans yet.  I'm living the dream in the land where it doesn't rain...rode bikes down to the beach and surfed with my son this afternoon.  The pool is just about warm enough to swim in...definitely if it gets above 70 and the sun is out.

I might try a bit more of Carriers at War, but...well let's see what tomorrow brings.   

[Moreb]

I have not seen it. I'm pretty excited because it's been a while since the daughter and I have spent any time alone. We are both busy and with her having 2 children under 2, she could use an evening out. Knowing her, she'll be missing those girls in short order.

Busted my was in the yard today so that I can play most of the day Sunday. Wife will be busy catching on documentation for her job and doing kid visits so it will be a dive into Imperator after the pbem files are all sent back.

I should probably mow the grass but gaming is more fun. Avengers this morning, then came home, cried and took a nap. No I didn't cry but yes I took a nap. As for gaming, after missing out on release day I finally started sinking my teeth into Imperator Rome last night and today. Playing as Rome. I cut the knees off the Samnites right at the start and annexed all their territory. Spent the few years after the war just idling about, trying to get a hang for the UI. Just held elections and a member of the military faction got elected consul. Its only appropriate they push for further expansion, I think northwards. I think I like the new more in depth military options, but like the rest of the game I don't have a firm opinion yet.

Tomorrow, more Imperator and maybe some CMANO, DCS, or P3D, not sure.

[Gusington]

I think you're lying about not crying.

[Sir Slash]

I'm crying about Kushan lying about not crying.  :'(
