Smeggie

It's nice to be loved!

I have the same CPU and video card. I have the ASUS B650EMAX gaming M/B and 32GB of ram. I am very happy with mine. I could have the fastest gear in the world and I would still suck at this game though...

I'm back!

I am BACK Bitches! @ShadyBrady I expect a little something special from you! Seriously, one of the hardest thing I have ever had to do. The hardest thing I have ever had to do was to say goodbye to my twin boys that died at birth in 1990. And this was damn close to that... Walking away from the man that made me who I am...the one I idolized, my role model and the person I tried to emulate my entire life just plain sucked. Leaving him in that nursing home and hoping total strangers will care for him just ripped my heart out. It goes against every bone in my body. I am seriously heartbroken. I hope that I get to see him again....but only time will tell.

Thank you all. I love my XI family! Today was a tough day, but tomorrow will be the toughest. We got a lot of things out of the house and donated. Tomorrow they move into the nursing home and the rest of the house gets cleared out and whether donated or hauled to the dump. So many memories....remember to cherish the time you spend with family. You will never get that time back. Love to all...

Well Mrs. Smeggie and I are taking a trip that nobody wants to take. Headed to Eastern Texas to settle my father (who will be 95 in 3 weeks) and step-mother into a nursing home. Dad is basically blind and my step mother has dementia. Neither of them can care for one another anymore, and they decided it's time..... Probably will be the last time I get to see my dad, unfortunately. I am sure I will need some in game banter from @ShadyBrady, @Tiger! and @Qualicum when I get back....so be prepared! Peace out see you all on the flip!

BOG baby!

His identical artwork adorns the ceiling at the Bellagio in Vegas. Neat stuff...

Preds going through buildings. Other than that I had zero problems with game play today....other than I suck!

For anyone interested, here is a photo dump from our trip to DC on Cool Change this past weekend. It was hotter than hell and one of the Air conditioners on the boat went on the fritz and couldn't get the generator to crank yesterday for our trip home...but it was a great weekend. Oh the sound of freedom! Enjoy! https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCYncd

Yes!! This is why we get a slip and don't move the boat!
