December 25, 20232 yr And as an addendum, my brother found a copy of Jane’s USNF’97, boxed and still in shrink wrap, as a gift for me. USNF was one of my favourite games ever back in the day…to me it was a mid-fidelity combat sim the likes of which is a huge gap in between DCS and Ace Combat right now. Now I just need to figure out how to hack this to work on a modern computer or find myself a retro computer to play it on 😀 Edited December 25, 20232 yr by regis9 Dave Current System (Running at 4k): ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F, Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 5090, 55" Samsung Q80T, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, EVGA CLC 280mm AIO Cooler, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS & Stick, Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant & Add-on, VirtualFly Ruddo+, TQ6+ and Yoko+, GoFlight MCP-PRO and EFIS, Skalarki FCU and MCDU
December 25, 20232 yr Life and good health! My 91st Christmas and 90th birthday and I woke up! A few days ago I went to DMV to renew my driver's license and got an early present when they renewed it for me. Not many here at Peachtree still have their licenses. Yesterday a lady and her husband drove down from Ruidoso to take me to lunch at The Red Lobster and had them bring me a small birthday cake. Mary was one of my troops in my old National Guard unit and her husband, Joe, is a retired American Airlines pilot. Such a nice early Christmas/birthday gift to be remembered like that. And from the powers that be the ability to walk straight without a cane or a walker and the gift of mobility and freedom that I can still drive myself around. At my age and station in life material gifts are not as important as still being healthy and mobile and remembered and respected. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

If I miss it, an early birthday salute to you too Bill. I turned 74 on the first day of this month. As the old saying goes, "If I knew I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself." Wish you both the best and many more. Thank you.
