I'm definately not. I'm positively dreading Sunday. [X(]
Roadtrip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [:D]
Yeah , from hell! Do to the Navy constantly interfereing with our plans, time, etc., the whole thing has been reduced to a "there and back again" trip. No vacation, no detour to Florida, and no good weather! No wonder I feel like a Hobbitt with a bad back! (and by next weekend, I'll be able to add a sore butt!). [X(][:(]

Did any of you guys catch the thread nuking today?
Somebody called "Misconduct" (I wonder if he appreciates the irony?) posted links to illegal e-book copies of Osprey titles in a thread on the forum. Lasted less than 20 minutes before Erik deleted it. Wonder what (if anything) went through "Misconduct"'s brain when he made that thread?[:-]

I just wanted to ensure that you can get your 'sore butt' out of the way today-no sense in waiting until next weekend! Cheers! Banzai!

Yeah. The people here have a very short attention span. Mainly because of the population make up. Most cities and states have insane asylums and pychiactric hospitals. Then about 40 years ago people figured out that it was far cheaper to just send the inmates to congress. And far more entertaining![:D]
And the TV stations? Although we seem to keep all the pundits here. [:)]
Most of the Networks are still in NYC. (NYC![X(]) Some have DC bureau's ,and of course CNN is still in Atlanta. I'm not aware of any networks based in DC. [:)]

Air power in WPO is not terribly valuable or usefull. There is a patch. I thought they had the sync issue resolved, but don't know. Simon? You were quite involved in WPO testing. Any comments?
Airpower is negligible in WPO so don't sweat it. Didn't know the synch issue had ever arisen in WPO, I certainly never saw it.

Thanks Simon. That matches my assement totally![:)] BTW , is anyone currently doing a WPO scenario? [&:]
