Okay, so the first good news is more about why I've not been on my favs, COD2 & COD5 much lately. Besides our short summers here in Michigan, the time had come to overhaul the house, 20 plus years after adding on to it. Roof needed replaced from all the abuse it gets from the sometimes harsh winters and winds we get. So, we opted to "get the red out", you might says, so once roof was done (by others, too steep for me these days) I replaced a lot of wood siding and trim, following by staining both garage and home. Watched a  lot of beautiful days roll by, but busted ass for about 4 weeks around day job to get done. Need a few more touchups and accents replaced, but here's a few before and afters:

So.. our place pales in comparison to many beautiful homes on a large all sports lake. But at least the view is the same as my neighbrs!:

WP_20130825_002.thumb.jpg.88b9028c51ca3f4a1bae056c92f5cdf3.jpg

Unfortunately, due to the above work and the bad news I have not had much "play" time, other than an occassional couple rounds. Parallel to the work, as some of you know from FB, my wife of 24 years, Debra was diagnosed with lung cancer. Having lost her dad 69 yrs old) and brother (45 yrs old) to it, this was not good news. She has just went through a right upper lobectomy, not an easy surgery. After seven (beautiful) days in the hospital, she is home recovering. All went well with the surgery. And, fortunately, the good news.....

After even more test of lymph nodes in the lungs (as well as outside, tested previously) she appears to be cancer free! We will be celebrating at XI Fest, for sure!!

That's where I was a member with you and @SGTSmeg playing COD UO.

'Member?

You both hated my nades and trip-wires then. 

Smegma loves them now, but word is that he's been practicin' "Ayaq-style."

Lol.

Great news on the wife scene, bud, God bless you and your cherub.

Great news with wife !!!   And I feel for you on the fixing up the home !!!   We have a summer house at Indian Lake, Ohio and from late June until now its been a mess.  Had a new seawall, cement patio and boat-lift put in.   Contractor was suppose to start back in May, but do to all the rain we had here, the lake was too high for them to cut bolts on the seawall posts.  They started late June and just finished the concrete work and boat-lift.  We are putting a deck on top of the boat lift and hopefully that contractor will start in the next few weeks.  But we have use of the house and lake again !!!!   Again, great to hear your wife is fine.  Enjoy the rest of the summer !!

Lazlo, you are truly blessed. As I sit here reading and viewing your post I looked around me and had a thought. You have everything I had once and even more. The trial with your wife is turning out great. Mine went and flipped over to the other sex and lives in Hawaii! I lost my beautiful little condo in bankruptcy. It wasn't on a lakeside lot, but it was ours for a time. Now I live in a one room assisted living quarters. I get 3 squares a day and barely have to lift a finger to do anything. I am not crying here but I realize how good I had it before and lost it all. Make every minute count with her and one day soon I will see you back on the server! So glad everything is working out good for you. God is good all the time!!!

Big Papa Joe, since my divorce, I've seen it as my calling to "turn 'em back" to the other side.

Lol.

Just kidding, bud.  I've lost everything, like you, @BigPapaDean, aka "Big Papa Joe," aka . . . _________________.

(You guys and gals that don't like Big Papa Joe can fill in da blank.)

Hehehheahehheheawhehewhewhew!!!

I too, Sir Papa Joe, Sire of LovesALot, have been through a messy divorce:  lost wife (heck with the wife) and kids (I love my precious babies), 3-story, $450k house, $100+k job, self-respect, pets, yadda, yadda, yadda.

You, Sir LovesALot, have to grab your boot-straps and haul yourself up, bud.

I've finally decided to grab my panties from around my ankles and decided to climb back on da horse.

I'll be moving to a remote Alaska village for my "Business Manager" position in a coupla weeks.

They've offered to ship my truck over by barge, pay for my charter flight to the village, and provide me with free housing.

And, give me a week's pay in advance so I can "stock up" on provisionals.

You know, beans, hardtack, lard, sugar, flour, and so forth.

Lol.

When you fall off the mountain, and if you've survived, you gotta grab the climbing rope and start pulling yourself back up.

My trick is, you tie knots in the rope as you're falling down.

Lol, yet again.

Hang in there, bud.

My "saving grace," at least as far as you gaming >XI< Idiots are concerned (by the way, typed lovingly, dearingly, tenderly, . . .) is that the village I'm going to has fiber-optic cable service.

I'm in Dillingham, Alaska, now, and the only offering here is satellite service, and the lag I've seen is abhorrent.

When I get my "new dives," I'll at least be able to pay $170/month for the best cable service that GCI, Inc. has available for that particular community.

I've been accused of being "smart," in some circles.

Problem with me is that, those circles are pretty small.

Lol, sigh.  Yet again.

Stiff upper lip, bud.

Hip-hip!!!!

Love you frickin' guys and gals.

Ayaq

Thanks to everyone for the support. I have been truly blessed. First, with good health, opportunity and a good career that has allowed me to provide and raise a family comfortably (I did pay my "dues" early on with my employer!). And now for my wife, Deb to have gone through successfully prove He watches over me. I know that life can turn at any time, as you say Papa, so I appreciate every day! Spending some time in a hospital opens ones eyes to our mortality!
