Okay, so in the game today, I was mentioning how amazing the place is that I am today and that I had posted some pics on Facebook. Not everyone has or uses Facebook, which I get, and I don't blame you if you stay away from that cesspool. Someone in the game today suggested I just post in the forums here on the >XI< website, so here you go. And for those who are unaware, in November 2022 I moved into a van pretty much fulltime just so I could drive around and see all the places in the USA that I never saw before I found myself in the surprising position to actually retire. So, the next post in this thread is pictures of my van and where it is parked for this night on, Thursday, 2004-09-12. I have a YouTube channel and I'll post here when I post there so you'll know when there's a new video in case you want to check it out. I also have a Facebook Group. You can find my YouTube Channel and my Facebook Group by searching for JoyEnRoute on either of those platforms. My Van's name is "Joy", hence JoyEnRoute. Enjoy. (I hope.)

As many of you know, back in February we had a house explosion about three houses down from us. The explosion killed my fellow firefighter Trevor Brown and injured 10 more of my firefighters. Two had 3rd degree burns, One had a shattered hip, another shattered leg, another crushed shoulder. All received significant trauma with regard to shrapnel wounds, concusions and ongoing pulminary problems. Fortunately most of them are on the mend. This year I became involved in a group called Patriot Cruise and Salute https://www.patriotcruise.org/ This is an annual event hosted right from our marina. Saturday I was honored to host on our boat, the widow of Fallen Firefighter Trevor Brown and her three amazing kids, along with my company fire chief and his wife. In all, the event hosted 105 honorees this year and 55 captains volunteered their time, their boat, their fuel and food to give the honorees a nice three hour ride up the Potomac River. After the boat ride, we enjoyed a great catered meal, and all honorees and volunteers received a nice challenge coin. I stuck a 360 camera on the back of "Cool Change" and created a little snippet of the first few minutes of the trip. Another boater grabbed a couple of shots of us. It was a great day and I can't wait for next year!

@Rea Just changes the settings when you aren't looking. Hax!

TBH, I'm struggling to remember when I posted in a video about that, although apparently I did. Yeah, I've been kind of into audio stuff for a long time, but it's not really a passion any more. I still have all my vinyl, too, and mine also dates back to grade school. Some of my first being Iron Butterfly – In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and Three Dog Night - Live At The Forum. I've had a few systems over the years, but mainly the one I built when I was 18 and still in high school followed me for decades. Heathkit AR-1500A receiver and a pair of Heathkit AS-104 speakers. I coupled them with a pair of Magnavox (yup, Magnavox) speakers that have 15" woofers and horn tweeters. The Heathkit was becomming too much to try to maintain, so it's been religated to a pile of stuff in the basement. The two sets of speakers are now attached to a Sony STRDH190 receiver. I don't know what it is about that Sony, but a lot of people LOVE that thing, and so do I. The first thing I did when I hooked it up to those speakers was play the David Gilmour - Live At Pompeii, Sorrow video. I literally cried. It was that good. With apologies to my neighbors. Me at 18 building the Heathkit AR-1500A

There was a lot of rain in this part of Montana over last night. When I got to Bozeman, from where this was taken, I see it ended up snow-capping some of the mountain peaks.

congratulation Bio ... pls dont kick me

Well the time has come.. The boy wants to start playing CoD4 with me. He's 14, and quite a good shot on other games. He just loaded into his first game under the name KnuckleDust. How does the Jr members thing work? I'm sure in time he'll be interested.
