Smeggie

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!

BEAST Mode engaged!

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!

Mrs. Smeggie and I are loading up Cool Change and are headed to Washington D.C. for the Independence Day festivities going on there. We'll have a flotilla of 8 or 9 other boats from our dock. Us and another million IDIOTS sweltering in this miserable heat for what should be a memorable trip. Hopefully in a good way! Be safe all and remember why this country is so damn awesome.... Until Monday, peace out!

Welcome @216Harley always a fun game when you're playing.

Nice ride!

The Bald Eagle can lift as much as 7 to 8 pounds. Keep your family critters inside

And they have a wing span that is taller than you! They are huge!

Mrs. Smeggie and I spent the weekend working on the boat and enjoying the great outdoors. What an amazing weekend, weatherwise, here in the Metro D.C. area. Managed to snag some shots of my favorite bird, the Bald Eagle and symbol of freedom. And what a sunset! Shame it had to end..... Cool Change Mattawoman Sunset 2026-1.mp4

Oh NO! Who left the door open and let @Dukoo in?! He is SUCH an Idiot! Welcome back brother!!

Yes my MOD tags show up

@StormCrow you should check out Sons Of Legion sometime. They aren't on any big labels but their music is amazing. Google them....

How can they be a Southern Rock Band and be from Canada?

Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter. Thank goodness she got her looks from her momma!

BEAST MODE! Awesome job @RANDALL!!

Last night in server there was a lot of discussion about our Friendly Fire Friday's rotation. I was asked by many people to post a proposal that was brought forth. Instead of just Friendly Fire Friday, could we mix up the game type on Friday's, perhaps two a month. In other words, could we have Friendly Fire Friday one Friday, CTF (Freezetag) on another, S&D (Freeztag) on another, FFA, pistols only, knives only. I am just throwing things out there as requested. Perhaps a poll could be setup to query what folks might be interested. I thought about posting this on the MOD/ADMIN forum but I posted it here because I wanted to make sure people knew that I brought their question forward.

Welcome aboard @Cecilia!
