Morning everyone.

Mike, I'm getting there. Economy is done. China is done. Merchant fleet is partly done. Just need to go through all the TFs & combat units to figure that part out. Fortunately, I have spreadsheets with what's where so that'll help a lot.

Sounds great, Mike! I've been slowly going through a Turn 2 save and making some notes for what I want to do so I can turn things around a little bit faster on my end for Turns 1 and 2. I'll pick up the pace a bit so I'm ready to go. I'll still be slow, though. [:D]

I have to say I'm a pretty lucky guy. In addition to finding my perfect match and actually getting her to say "Yes" to marrying me, I have managed to meet (by my best count) 7 different Thread Brothers and 2 additional forum members in person over the years. Every one of them has been a pleasure to raise a glass with. Now, plans are in the works to add another Thread Brother to my in person collection next month. I'm quite looking forward to it! [8D]

BTW, my "collection" is no where near as nefarious as Chickenboy's "collection" of ex-PBEM opponents, but I have managed to survive a PBEM match with him and multiple in person meetings. [:D]

As am I.[:)]

As of yet I've met two, and that reminds me, again, I need to call Will. Seth and I had lunch, again, about two weeks ago.

I've had the privilege of meeting only one forum member in person. Mogami, for those of you really old farts from the old WitP days. Interesting story. He had 15 years active military service and got out. I convinced him to join the Ohio Guard to at least finish up part time so he could get a retirement at 60 yrs old. I had the privilege of swearing him back in. [:)] He ultimately served 5+ years active and has since retired. That was pretty cool.

By "Opponents" you mean victims. And I've been a serial victim. Three times on my own and once with you as a partner in 2x2. [:D]

Took a nice road trip with Mrs. USSA today. About an hour each way through beautiful farmland up to Danville, VA. You see, Monday is my second favorite holiday of the year, National Rum Day! It's really hard to get my favorite Haitian rum in NC, Rhum Barbancourt. The VA ABC store in Danville had 8 bottles of their 5 Star, 8 year old Rhum in stock. I only brought home 2 of them. [:D] We made a nice day of it by having a good lunch up there and visiting a bit of the town, including the train station and it's attached Science Center Butterfly House. 2 trains for me and hundreds of butterflies for the Mrs. A good time was had by all.
