As a general rule, Toyota usually takes at least three years before they get all the bugs worked out of a new generation. The newest generation of Rav4 started in 2019 and was also a mess when it was released.

2022 Tundras will have the new twin turbo V-6. Toyota claims more hp, torque and better fuel mileage than the V8’s. Design seems to be towards more power and better cooling. Not sure I’d want to be a 1st adopter though. The new engine in the Tacoma was a mess when it was 1st released.

Memphis is his name.... he is half Caucasian mountain shepherd and half Great Pyrenees. 10 weeks old.

Just installed Windows 11 on my laptops with the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. Not liking the new start menu, seems to take longer to get where you want to go. Was a pretty painless install though, kept everything I had installed- apps and drivers.

Hard to find a good shop anymore. Last time I got new tires the tech broke 2 studs off. Was too close to quitting time, was told to return the next day in the morning. On the way home 6 more studs broke off. Decided to fix myself, did not want them touching my truck anymore. Returned the next day and told them what happened, said that they were embarrassed. Refunded money for parts and labor and got mounting, balancing and rotations for life, means nothing because I won’t be returning.
There are lots of shortages from the pandemic, except for morons.

Unfortunately my family and I had to put down our dog Obie tonight. He was a 13 year old lab, grey hound, great dane mix. We had had him since he was 8 weeks old and he had turned 13 this month. He was a great dog and lived a very happy, long, and spoiled life.  We are heartbroken and will miss him dearly but it was his time to go...

Finally got it done.  I forgot how much fun it was playing the game. I am enjoying playing the bots for now. Maybe we can get some people to join back up an play.

I think he’s talking about Quake III; https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/quake-iii-arena-has-been-updated-and-improved-for-pc-and-consoles-by-bethesda-softworks.html

PC’s with unsupported cpu’s will not be able to upgrade, have to install manually from iso. Will not receive Windows updates or driver updates. Microsoft has said (from testing) that unsupported pc’s had 42% more kernel crashes than supported ones. Could change again, who knows.

Richard Dawson’s statement is so relevant at this time. Seems to be too much hate around.
 
 
 
 

Huge loss . Great member and family man. 
Had the pleasure to game with him a few times.
My sincere condolences to his family and anyone who was a part of his life.
May you rest in peace amigo.
Much love and respect from your idiot family.
 

We lost a great man.  Bart/Roger was a special person in so many ways.  His dedication to the clan, servers and people were impeccable.   Unfortunately, I just learned of the sad news this morning.  My prayers go out to his wife, family and all of those people/players he has touched.  May Roger RIP.

@loaderXI I quoted you because the 3 of us go back so far here and became so close over the years that we became like Brothers, and Roger was and always will be a "Big Brother" in my Heart. So the words you posted loader are the same as I would have to try to explain to anyone who reads this just how crushed I am inside to learn that the Man I Loved like a big brother is in Heaven and I will live with the hope we meet on the other side. He has such a wonderful way of saying so much with just his laugh from that's funny to your a fucking asshole which was part of his charm. I remember encouraging him to join, asking him and Loader to please help me when I was asked to become head Admin for COD2. Loader was the tech guy and Bart was the voice of reason and I was the mouthy one and we made a great team even though both really weren't sure they deserved to be made Admins which shows their level of respect for the guys who did the job before them. Roger was there for me on a personal level in ways I will forever be grateful for. The one thing I regret is while we talked on the phone, X-fire, Teamspeak, PM's, FB, in game many many times over the 15 years we were friends we never met face to face but I could always call him when ever I wanted and he could do the same and we both enjoyed our times together. I don't recall even if we disagreed on something was there ever a cross word between us and again that is a credit to who he was as a Human Being, he was special. I could go on for hours trying explain just how much I LOVED ROGER BARTLETT and why but typing thru these tears is getting very difficult. I have not felt this depth of personal loss in many years and yet I pray tonight and every night for his Wife and Family not for myself. My Brother is in Heaven now watching over me, he knows I love him but the world lost one of the truly good guys. RIP Rog

I am sorry for not posting sooner but I am lost and broken...Blackbart>XI< (Roger) was a amazing person....A Vietnam Vet and a Proud American...We would spend hours on the phone over the many years in regards to this community and real life affairs...He never once had anything to say bad about no one and was a very out spoken honorable man...We truly have suffered a great loss and frankly I have been devastated...
He always had a ear to lend and more wisdom then I could ever dream of...Let the record show he was last seen on our server 8/11/2021 7:25:48 PM EST and I had the honor to speak to him 8/17/2021 on the phone...I got the chance to thank him for being a dear friend to us all and me personally and for his commitment to this community...He really enjoyed serving as Admin on the servers and the many friendships that came out of them....He fought one hell of fight with illnesses over the years and never complained about it...
May his Family find comfort and may he Rest in Eternal Peace !
Please continue to lift up some Prayers for his wife and the rest of his family and friends

Gone but never forgotten !

He wasn't just a fellow CoD2 admin, he was much more than that. He was the embodiment of >XI<, always a great laugh and it was always my mission to smack him upside the head. But most importantly he was a friend and one of the family. I woke up this morning for work with a message from Loader on facebook telling me the news. It's just all so surreal. Your name will forever be a part of this family bart and when it's my turn, I got all eternity to smack you when I find you rest well brother, you really have earned it.
My thoughts to his wife and family in this difficult time.

All week long I have been dreading reading this post.  My whole time with the clan has been on COD2. I know I need to venture out to some other games. But He has always been one that was there and always great to play against and talk with and made it fun. It’s always been more about the people for me than anything else.  We need to keep the prayers strong for his wife who is fighting the same battle, but now with this added stress. 
He will be greatly missed 

Got word today that Blackbart passed away today. I can’t believe these great people are gone from our lives. Bart was one of the original members and has been through it all with this clan and has always stood strong with the decisions that the clan made. He was the best clan mate, friend anyone could ask for. He will be truly missed by so many here especially the cod2 crew where Bart played. 
RIP my friend 
 

Bart was one of a kind, a very special man who was respected and loved by almost everyone.  I was lucky enough to have Bart as a friend from the very beginning of XI. His humor/laugh, and his kindness, added enjoyment to every game he played. Bart always had positive things to say and if one crossed that line he would address the issue in politeness and firmness when required. Struggling to imagine a XI  gameplay without Bart, words cannot describe this emptiness. Bart you will never be forgotten, RIP my friend. 

Ver sorry mate. Our Molly is now 14 years old and getting on a bit. (like me)  🙂
