Computer:  Still pondering it.  Close to pulling the trigger on another John Tiller title (possibly The Seven Years War).

Board:  Phantom Leader Deluxe (DVG).  (Pre-ordered it in 2012.  Sat on the shelf unopened since 2013.  Finally got it on the table and am loving it).

Great tune. One of first that really turned me on to Zepplin.

PC wise not sure, may try to get back into CKII or EU4. Also Mius Front and maybe one of the Grigsby games.

Gonna try to play some PS 4 as I've been neglecting that of late, maybe some NHL or FIFA

Board gaming going to play Hadara and Wingspan with the girls
Insert witty comment here.

There's a free weekend for an MMORPG called Citadel: Forged With Fire.  I doubt I'll have enough time to properly evaluate it but I'm downloading it anyway.

Well, that lasted all of ten minutes.  Awful game.

Maybe get some PBEM files Sunday but in Dallas at a state Elks convention wondering if they could possibly make the drinks any stronger at the hospitality suites of the presidential candidates. This is the way to hold an election!

Learning the new F-16 on DCS. Kinda stripped down due to early access but man....what a blast to fly. And the CBU-97 sensor fuzed cluster bomb. Watching 4 year through an armored column of 2 dozen vehicles is worth the price. Definitely can tell the difference between the F-18s upgraded radar and the F-16's. No wonder they are trying to upgrade to a AESA. DCS does a great job modeling them

It was Ramble On for me.  Soon as I heard Gollum's name, I knew this band was for me!  Levee was an early favorite, too.

True story. About a hundred of us showed-up for Jury Duty this am. One lady was coughing non-stop. Finally the clerk came over, spoke to her briefly, then she got and left the room. Immediately everyone in the whole room began to cough uncontrollably.  :2funny: I'm confident I will get excused after they take note of 2 of my family members being members of Law Enforcement.

Full weekend ahead of me as usual (with 4 kids and a wife)...

Still plan to continue my Campaign in Stellaris (mid-game is really getting boring), Master of Orion CtS with the Sakkras, make a couple of épisodes of my let's play on YouTube of Horizon and maybe launch a new game of Interstellar Space Genesis (new patch released).

Others games i have running in the background:

- Stronghold 2 Campaign
- Stars in Shadows
- Napoleon Total War
- Pax Nova (should really start to play that one).

I really could be playing full-time!  :crazy2:

Watched Top Gun again yesterday on tv and now I would like to fly the F-14 in DCS.

However this is one of the planes I don't have and it is one of the few planes not on sale ...


So the weekend will be DCS without the F-14 (or with if I lose control once more).

Under relatively new laws in the UK even police officers and judges can now sit on juries.

In 2014 whilst still serving in Devon and Cornwall Police I got called up for jury service in Plymouth. Turns out it was a murder trial involving two brothers from Plymouth.

I was selected for the jury and I didn't know the case or the officers or witnesses involved so was looking forward to a few weeks off work being paid to see things from "the other side" of the criminal justice system whilst on full pay. Sadly a police officer who was sat at the back of the court passed a note to the judge saying he recognised me as a Police Officer and the judge got cold feet over the cost implications of a retrial if the defence tried to make it an issue (despite it being totally legit) and I had to step down  >:(

To be fair the judge was very apologetic !

Everybody hates Jury Duty, especially if you have to take off work. But it is a Civic Duty and if I were ever to be on trial, I would want to be judged by a willingly participating jury of my peers, not some stiffs that don't have anything else to do or make some kind of statement. It is a pain though.

Playing the user-made campaign for CMRT: The Road to Minsk-- a huge fight.  O0
