Hello all. It’s time for me to step aside as an Admin and let somebody else in who wants to take it on. My absence from the COD2 servers over the last nearly 2 years because of a career change leaves me longing to play, but little or no time to indulge myself. On those rare occasions when I do have some free time, my old gaming rig just doesn’t seem to have the balls to pull it off. I will never willingly turn in my XI tags, but having me remain as an admin is kind of a waste since there are so many other competent players who spend a lot of time there, and I’m sure would be happy to take the job.
Those of you who know me have heard about my change of jobs to a long haul truck driver, and this January it will have been 2 years since I started. I’ve learned a lot in that time, have piled on a lot of miles, seen some spectacular sites around the country, but most of all I’ve learned that this is a job for a younger man. At 57, being away from home every week and working 14-16 hours a day is taking its toll on me, and I had all but decided to take another turn in career paths when something great happened. My experience as a corporate executive over 30 years and now my additional experience in the world of trucking has given me a unique skill-set. My current employer, while a very nice man and a competent truck driver really has no idea how to run a fast growing company.  In my 8 months with him, I have offered some business advice that he put to good use, and he has asked me to help him run the operation and oversee pretty much everything. So over the next couple of weeks we’ll try to iron out some of the details, but with any luck I’ll still be doing a bit of traveling, but not hauling a load while doing it.  
All of those years in business I always had regrets and wished I had chosen a job that kept me  outside and not stuck behind a desk. But these days, a nice office with a comfy chair is sounding kind of good. So with any luck, I’ll be making quite a bit more money, can afford a new gaming rig, and will have some time to game with my friends again in the very near future.
I hope this finds you all well, and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

That 15 year old kid fought for Al-Qaeda and killed an American Soldier, the fact the he was a Canadian Citizen makes his crime 100 times more shameful. Canadians do not kill Americans, we are allies, and have been for a long time.  I wouldn't give a penny to a sob like him, how about the human rights of the widow, and relatives of the American soldier he killed?  You are not a kid anymore at 15, you know what you are doing, lets get that straigjt

Your right Harry it is a disgrace ... I am beside myself right now trying to understand how such a miscarriage of justice could be handed down by a military judge.

Oh Spongey, the real Black Bart was a slender Englishman. A pretty amazing story if you ever get the chance to look it up. He made quite a few Wells Fargo stage coach robberies, including 4 within a few miles of my house.
Sponge on the other hand is a rather odd looking character.

My entire adult life people have come up to me and think they know me, although most don't know from where. I just have one of those faces.  Even today being much heavier, bald and with gray hair, people I've never met walk up and ask how I've been.  When I was with my daughter at the Walking Dead convention last weekend, Scott Wilson the guy that played Hershel on the show was walking past my daughter and me, looked at my face and reached out to shake my hand saying "how have you been"?  I just smiled, shook his hand and said great, nice to see you again.
 
For the first 10 years of our marriage, my wife was told a number of times that she looked like Teri Garr, and even had a couple guys ask for autographs while we were out for dinner in restaurants in San Francisco.

Glad you're on the mend Sponge, and glad you paid attention to what your body was telling you.
 
 

A 100 yards is cutting it kind of close. I generally use at least 150 yards of 12 to 15 pound test line.  But I troll a lot too, so if you're casting it's probably good.
