May 1st opening day on this watershed. We nicknamed this lake HEARTBREAK Lake. We’ve had some great days fishing this lake and then there’s all those other days lol. Today was a great one all together the 2 of us hooked 9 fish released 3 lost 2 and kept 4. We took home 2 Brown trout and 2 landlocked Salmon. The limit is 2 fish each ant combos the 2 species. The bench the 4 fish are sitting on is 22 inches for comparison.

After waiting for 3 years i decided to propose to my wife to be on day 1

Took my Mama for her first tattoo today!!! 72 years old!! We both got Tribute tats for my Dad who passed away in February Hers is a Binary star, they literally bought one last year, they are 2 stars that orbit eachother for ever! She got it on the back of her shoulder mine is Pops for what I always called him and "Oh Excellent" which he would say all the time if something went right with some clouds and sun rays, got it on my inner bicep

Last night I had an amazing night!!! I was invited to be in a video shoot for the newest Monster Truck song to be released soon!! This is the 2nd of their videos I will be in! Some pics from an amazing night!! me and lead singer Marv me and the new drummer Theo getting photo bombed by lead guitariist Jer Me and keyboardist Brando end shot with lead singer after confetti cannons went off and we are all soaked in champagne lol fuck I love these boys for including me in this stuff!!!

I am sorry the info was delayed but was done so on behalf of his family... We lost a member and long time friend to many of us in the clan and the COD2 players Starfire>XI< aka John Menzel was 74yrs old and Served Honorably 24yrs in The USA Army and retired as a Sergeant First Class in 1991... https://veteransfuneralcare.com/obituary/john-charles-menzel-sr-sfc-us-army-ret Please keep his family in your Thoughts and Prayers

Wife and I are headed to the Outer Banks of NC for a week. We have a mid-week offshore charter to ourselves. Praying for tight lines! Will send pics of the ones that don't get away.....

what,s the definition of disappointment? running into a wall with a erection and breaking you nose...

The Wife and I are heading to the Eastern side of the Cascades to our friends house outside of Winthrop Wa. about 25 miles south of the Canadian Border and about 75 miles from where Ogopogo lives. She is going to spend the week Horseback Riding during the day and riding me at night. I am going to be fishing for Lunker Trout with my buddy who is part of the areas Trout Fishing Club and is taking me to his fishing honey holes. So I will be spending the next week in Honey Holes except when I am sleep or eating or burning a big fat one in the evening. Smoking weed while fishing is mandatory since I don't drink booze any more.

Sorry wasnt able to play COD 5 last night she took my place ...overload of the house....

What is wrong with this world? My heart sinks to the thought that this is even possible. I can’t imagine the awful pain and despair these families are experiencing tonight and will for what will seem forever. If you have children or grandchildren, please hold them a little longer tonight, and pray for those who can not.

Really Quick I just wanted to say that Mordi Went into Surgery around 11:07am Eastern Time.. He should be out of Surgery within 4 hours or so.

I'm the one who enacted the ban. Don't take a break, play ON, just not here.

I bought a smoker about 5 month ago, honestly just set it up about one month ago. Got it on discount.. $400 off retail because it was missing a $20 leg. I finally purchased the leg and set it up.. I’m not disappointed! The results so far.. Generally I have smoked to desired temp, then switch to the grill to sear adding my bbq sauce mixture. Some of the first ones I seared then on to the stove and wrapped.. I didn’t end up like wrapping them like I would off the grill. So I started searing on the grill. Then let rest. I’m still learning, but it has all teased great. Meats in pictures include TriTip, boneless chicken breast and bacon wrapped chicken with cheese inside. IMG_8348.MOV

Star will be missed, but not forgotten.

We truly have a group of fantastic people in our fallen members list. Miss them all.

Extremely sorry to hear this. Great guy and loved playing with him for years. Another great one that will be missed

So Sad !!! We are loosing many long standing members !!! Prayers to his family. See you in the next life Star !!!

Opening Day of Low Lake Trout fishing was the 23 of April. First 2 pictures are of the 2lb 14oz. 19 inch Rainbow I caught fishing off a dock. End of the day Fish and picture of the lake I enjoy spending mornings drowning worms and drinking coffee that is just 15 minutes no lie from my house. Nice Pictures and smiles the fish are a bonus. "A bad day of fishing beats a great day at work every time"

I am so sorry that Starfire won't be gaming with us anymore, he was a really fun guy and proud to be a member of >XI< and tried so hard even as his skills began to fail him. The last thing I remember him saying to me was "Where are they Phuck? I can't see any of them" on a big sniper map and because the wife was sleeping 5 feet away from me since I play in the Master Bedroom I wasn't able to give him any intel. But it was becoming clear he was starting to really have some issues but wouldn't give up his weekends with the Gang. I am glad he is no longer suffering and is now in Heaven hanging out with some of the finest gamers and human beings to ever walk this planet. Our Fallen members list reads like a who's who of great folks who loved Gaming a ton and >XI< even more. RIP My Friend you will be missed more than you will ever know. My Love and Prayers go out to his Wife and Family and everyone who considered Starfire a Friend

Here is last night’s catch. I cooked the for lunch.

*Reader advised; Sikon has been drinking again! I love homemade tacos and burritos. I'm white living in NorCal.. so my range is limited! lol Lets see them pink tac.. I mean fully cooked tacos! This is my current (give or take) taco recipe.. Nothing crazy, I like them though. 2-3 lbs of carne asada or flank stake. Trimmed, then sliced accordingly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add Kinder's; The Taco Blend. Let rest.. drink.. smoke.. get everything else ready.. (Once meat is half or 2/3s done cooking, add a lot more Kinder's; Taco Bland to taste untill done. ) 1 can of corn drained, I like to ad a small amount of sugar, mixed in. 1 can of black beans, I tend to rinse in a strainer. 1 can of refried beans, Microwave a minute to thin out. Add small amounts of water if dry, then microwave 30 sec more. Generally, do this close to the end. Mexican shredded cheese Pico de gallo Sour Cream Cotija cheese (on top) Pepper to taste (on top) Small to medium tortillas Assembled; Tortilla Refried beans, thin layer. Carne asada Corn Black beans Shredded cheese Pico de gallo Cotija cheese Pepper

Wow krunch so so disrespectful. You will have all the time in the world to go hug your guns. But please let those who feel the loss here grieve.

Hello all, I'm a drummer, chef, artist, Director, producer, director of photography I've been gaming since the very first Atari came out. My dad brought it back from Japan before it was released in the United States I had one game, it was Pitifall, for two years it was awful. I live in Greenville SC

Argh! I am very sad to hear Stars passing. He was an incredibly easing going individual and a joy to game with. You could always count on Star to be respectful and to make any server a fun place to be. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Stars family and loved ones. Pete (Ter)

A Puffin with a Muffin, is it any good? I didnt take to long doing it.

Hello!! Mad Doc here (real name Leon). I have been playing here almost daily for the last 2 years following the closure of my old Clan, Old Farts Squad. Hung on till it was no longer viable because of a promise I made Davey J our leader, before his death. As one of 2 senior admins I wanted to see it continue but finally we lost. Lot of good friends there, several continue to play occasionally here. Since coming over here I have felt at home. A lot of people that I really enjoy playing against and chatting with. As far as background I spent 45 years in the US VA Medical system. 3 years in the US Army followed by 42 years as an MD in the Memphis, TN VA hospital. (Don't let the MD throw you. Always said it is what I do, not who I am). I grew up in a completely blue collar family (mostly cotton farmers) and I still feel more comfortable around 'working' people. Looking forward to meeting more of you and hopefully kicking your butts in game.

R.I.P Starfire I will miss dearly all our great conversation's

sad news he will be missed .but never forgotten .

Such sad news, very sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace.

You know it's going to be an interesting week when you log into your corporate all-hands town hall meeting and your name shows up in the ZOOM window as SGT_Smeg Curses Loasis! Curses!

It's a go for me and the wife

Had a great evening of fishing. I got 2 the other guy got 1. I got 1 brown and one crossbreed brown/salmon.

Been smoking meats for a few years now. Yours looks great. When I do my Tri Tips I give them the final sear in a cast iron pan with butter and rosemary. Works great. Also I generally smoke 3 to 4 at a time. The first night is the sliced Tri tip and then I take the others and dice them up and a little extra seasoning and onions and make soft tacos with it. The family loves those tacos and the smoked flavor comes through perfect

Well, after much thought and planning, @Gatorgirland I will be attending. Realizing that the house has the appropriate name and safe word in place.. And knowing that @Roxy! And @WldPenguinwould need some supervision, I just knew it was the right thing to do... And yes, we will be bringing pool toys.. Let the party begin..

Not to be a dick, but do you want to fiddle with a friggin trigger lock at that instant when it comes time to protect you and your family? Not I! My firearms are all in safes. My handguns are in a safe in my room that has quick access combination if needed. I carry to protect me, my family and those around me if needed. Have been doing so for years and you'd never know unless you threatened me or my family. I have been properly trained in firearm handling and understand the responsibilities of their use. Anyone that thinks someone (including teachers) in that school with the proper training might not have had an impact on the outcome of this tragedy is flat out wrong. We live in a different world anymore. This mindset has to change, for the sake of our kids. There is not a single piece of gun legislation that will ever stop these tragedies, unfortunately. More gun laws will only give some people a false sense of security and make them feel safer, when in reality they do absolutely nothing. More gun laws will continue to embolden criminals and provide them with even MORE avenues to reign terror on our society. Because we all know that criminals don't obey laws. Only law abiding people do. This kid grew up in a broken household. Did not have a father figure in the household. He lived with his maternal grandparents because his mother was going through hard times. His mother lived with her boyfriend in another part of town. He was beat up and bullied in school. His classmates spoke of his aggression and constantly picking fights. The signs were there.....but nobody spoke up. When our society and our insurance companies finally recognize mental health, treat it and make insurance companies pay for it, perhaps we will see some change. But all we are taught by our politicians, teachers, social media and main stream media is that we are all haters, racists and murderers. No wonder people are so fucked up anymore. Brainwashed.... Anyway, why was the side door to the school unlocked that this POS entered? I can't get into my local school without buzzing the front door where there is a camera and you're met by a school resource officer to escort you to the main office. These poor kids and their families. Pray for them. I don't care if anyone agrees with me. New gun legislation will do nothing to prevent this type of tragedy.

For non Canadian’s if you ever decide to visit Canada don’t forget to try our Ketchup flavoured Doritos! I think they’re great.

Had an MRI today due to hip pain in my left hip, come to find out I have Avascular Necrosis in both hips. The only way to fix this is Hip surgery, now the left hip I expect replacement and the right is not hurting much so maybe decompression surgery. I am becoming the Bionic Man slowly. Neck Surgery, Right Shoulder Surgery ,Three Left shoulder surgeries and now both Hip Surgery. Anyone have an Iron Man suit or Exo Skeleton Suit?

So sorry - another great one gone - prayers and thoughts to his family

My thoughts and prayers are with the family

My condolences go out to his family. It's sad but some us are getting up there and we are going down.

Hello, I know it's been awhile since you've seen me I did jump into freeze tag server last night good times. It was a long winter been driving tow truck which consumed a good chunk of my time. But going from -15c to -55c and had a total of 250cm of snow through the winter made some long days. I'm a hooker aka tow truck operator. Recently May 5th was my 36th birthday. Hope all is well I'll be around more frequently since it's getting nice been +20c lately

Here are a few scenes from the lake

The restaurants are about 15-20 minutes away. There's a great patio for grilling, which we'll probably do at least once. The fun is the house itself, gameroom with bar and pool table, outdoor pool and hot tub, large property, on the water. The XI Fests of late have had more people choosing to do things right at the house rather than doing more of the tourist type stuff. I'm sure we'll plan some activities as well, but nothing in the works just yet. We are looking into boat rentals since we have a dock.
