Only thing bad about hydrogen is that we are still severely limited by the size and weight of hydrogen Fuel Storage cells and lack of hydrogen generators. And Efficiency of hydrogen powered motor vehicles is still horrible. Average 13.5 miles per 1 gallon of H₂ in most current hydrogen vehicles.
 
 

to inform you that my wife of almost 32 years passed away on April 22nd after our long battle with lung cancer. She was laid to rest this past Saturday, April 26th. She was originally diagnosed in 2017, and in August that year had her right lung's upper lobe removed. She was good after that surgery for over four years, and in fact returned to work for a time and attended two XI Fest - the one in Niagara Falls, five or six weeks after her surgery in 2017 and the Fest in South Carolina in 2019. In 2019, Wildthing even arranged a birthday cake for her and we celebrated, since the S. C. Fest was during her birthday weekend! She also attended the Gatlinburg Fest in 2016 (her favorite one, though she loved them all)! She loved to travel, so always on board for the Fest. But ultimately, the Chemo and Radiation was not working, and you can take only so much of both. We knew it was coming, and she was on full time oxygen and on a lot of pain medications and last six months, but her passing has been difficult nonetheless. Our two sons are still at home with me, so we are staying busy and are adjusting to living without our lady in the house. 😢

Hi all
Well as you know I had Biopsies taken of growth's on my vocal chords for suspected throat Cancer. Friday I finally recieved the results.... they are Benign and the Doctors hope to reduce them with medication and remove whats left after at a later date.
But the CT scan i had the week after the Biopsies has revealed other lumps/ growths  in my neck so now I am back in the Hospital tomorrow morning at 7:30 am to get more Biopsies, fingers crossed i get the same result . But either way I will carry on regardless and hopefully be back in game real soon.
 Take care everyone see you later 😉

Have to go north (Massachusetts) to take care of the father inlaw for about 10days. He is fine just needs someone to look out for him while rest of family is out of town
See you idiots on the flip side
loADER out

A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, 'Perfect timing. You're just like Frank.'

Passenger: 'Who?'

Cabbie: 'Frank Feldman.. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time.'

Passenger: 'There are always a few clouds over everybody.'

Cabbie: 'Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy.

Passenger: Sounds like he was something really special.

Cabbie: 'There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, could do everything right.'

Passenger: 'Wow, some guy then.'

Cabbie: 'He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too - He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman.'

Passenger: 'An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?'

Cabbie: 'Well, I never actually met Frank, he died and I married his frickin wife.'

When you get it all put back together, invest in a Flo by Moen.  I put one on my main water line at my cabin.  It senses unusual water flow and will alert you and then will shut the water off by itself.  It would have prevented what had happened to you.  It takes awhile for it to learn your water use habits but once it has it works great.  It also does micro water leak tests at night and will let you know if there is any small water flow at night when there more than likely not be any. Mine picked up a 1.5 gallon use when no one was there.  Ended up just being a bad flapper in the toilet letting s super small amount of water slip by.  

I'll probably be coming too if my wife reads this ? 
😅

My babies that were on the wall and safe. One on left is one of only 100 made that year in that color, next one is older than me, '72 deluxe, used by my favorite band to record their debut album, 2 over from that is a custom The Walking Dead guitar, one of 215 made, my Dad won in a contest and gave me, and the one on far right is all signed by my favorite band. All invaluable to me, and luckily safe and sound

So, Sunday morning 730am I was woke by the wife screaming. She stepped out of bed into a puddle of water. I jump up and I can hear water splashing, go into bathroom and water is spraying massive amounts from behind toilet. Luckily the shut off at toilet stopped it when I turned it off. Head downstairs to look, living room and kitchen flooded, water coming from roof in kitchen, i hear more water downstairs, head down to my mancave in a panic, water is coming like a waterfall from the light fixture in middle of room and theres 6 inches of water on floor!!! 4 acoustic guitars are in 6 inches of water, one being my Moms who just passed last month and another being my Dads who passed 3 years ago. My $2000 Marshall tube amp is soaked. Luckily ny high high end guitars were on guitar hangers on wall and undamaged, got a friend to come pick them up right away as the humidity alone will damage them. Like $10,000 in guitars on wall
Today insurance coming to get all the water damaged stuff and Sunday we are moving into the townhouse literally next door that was vacated last month and fully renovated.
Lost alot of precious to us things, stuff from my Mom and Dad and no money amount can replace 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
Going to be a hectic week, no pc desk as it was damaged (pc ok thankfully, was up on a side table and power bar/surge protector was on table too so out of water. Have to pack up house, ya normally got a month or two to plan a move, we have days and im stressing big time!

A man boarded an aircraft at London's Heathrow Airport for New York, and taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a very beautiful woman boarding the plane. He realised she was heading straight toward his seat and bingo - she took the seat right beside him.

"Hello", he blurted out, "Business trip or vacation?"

She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, "Business. I'm going to the annual nymphomaniac convention in the United States."

He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs!

Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?"

"Lecturer," she responded, "I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.."

"Really", he smiled, "what myths are those?"

"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Greek descent. 

Suddenly the woman became uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said. "I really shouldn't be discussing this with you, I don't even know your name!"

"How do you do" he replies "I'm Tonto, Tonto Papadopoulos, "

Have you missed me?? don't lie of course you haven't, but ol Rob's still alive and kicking (just), over the three score and ten with enough things wrong to fill a book. Haven't played with anyone since I left, just myself (apparently good for the prostate), and have given up gaming altogether, I was rubbish anyway, even Rugger could beat me. Came back to post a joke the old timers will love, so hope you all enjoy it. Just employed a new eastern European cleaner, took her 12 hours to clean the house, I think she was a Slovac.
I'm almost a full time babysitter for my two grandsons now, best job I've ever had, little fckers are cleverer than me?
So hope you're all well and healthy, and to all the girls I converted to the Viking religion so when I arrive in Valhalla all you young virgins will be waiting for me - oh hold on?
 
FU
Rob

His addiction to Nugs continues.

I am so sorry to announce that we have lost another member TheLastColdBeer (Jim Brophy). I had not seen him in game for quite awhile and texting him  I never received any response. The last time he had been seen in the server was December 21st.  Having a bad feeling since he was a staple of our COD2 group of players I looked up his name on line and sadly found the attached obituary.  
Jim was always so much fun to play against and it has always been people like him that kept me coming back for more. He always had a upbeat and fun demeanor about him while playing. 
I know he was going through a lot over the last year with the passing of his brother, he had been making trips from his house in Illinois  to Texas to take care of his brothers estate and personal affairs.  
Jim had also lost his wife years earlier Lori Brophy who passed in 2016.  
Jim will be greatly missed by all of us that have played with him for years.  Sadly this
leaves another hole in our clan that can never be filled. 

I could hear his voice reading this "Howdy Window"

RIP Jim!  He was a great friend, and player.  He was always so out going in game.  He would come in and always say " Howdy Window"  I regret that we never met in person, becuse he only lived an hour and a half away.  We just could not make it happen.  I remember a tornado going thru his area some time ago, and I called him to check in, but got his voice mail.  The next day we talked on the phone and all was good with him being his old self.  "Morning Window"  I'm good he said. He was always so fond of his wife lori, and talked so wonderful about her.  I remember when she passed, and that was very hard on him.  It was so clear how much he loved her.  James RIP with Lori.
