That surely must make communicating easier when you don't have to check to see what time it is in her part of the world.

You're right about that. I am constantly checking the world clock on my phone when I am in port to talk to my mom or siblings. It's usually easier to figure out the time at my house because we are usually only two time zones away.

My sympathies Rokket.
Hopefully the next ship will have better internet.

I doubt it. I've been on 6 of these ships now. Same across the board...

Summer 2017 is on the way!

Excuse me! As I sit wrapped in dressing gown and blankie over my clothes and fluffy slippers on my feet I am reminded that "Winter is coming!"

It's nice actually, I'm looking forward to it being cool enough for a fire, I'm so over the humidity and too warm nights.

Perhaps because you live on the bottom of the world is going to be winter but here at the top, we've broken out our shorts, tank tops and flip flops! Is that a barbeque?

And no we, ain't barbequing shrimp. Baby Back Ribs time is almost here. At we both like Anchovies. :giggle:

Heehee! Till yesterday we were all in shorts and T's and summer dresses. Then BOOM! hello winter! I can't cope when the change is so fast.

Rokket, glad to hear things are getting better. I hope that continues.

As far as weather here, normal. Hot, cold,hot, cold,... we're back to AC instead of heater today.

My cousin posted a picture of a town in North Dakota that had snow and ice on the roads on one day, green grass and no snow the next. The weather is weird all over the world.

Not unless you have meat and a flame to cook it over. Then and only then it becomes a bbq! Gas flame is acceptable though...

Not where I grew up. If you have a gas grill you are ostracized. They take their grills pretty serious...

MOS NEW SUIT.jpg


Made this for Tyler a while back. I didn't like the texture so I started remapping everything. I then decided I didn't like the emblem and redid that. It's modeled onto the suit, not just a texture map.
I decided that I also didn't like the piping on the suit because it was plain, no ridges in them and I redid that.
The boots were ugly and didn't have that peak in them so I redid those.
Now I am going to make this suit for M4, and a little later for Dusk . I still am in progress with remapping the boots, but what do you think of it?

Definitely click to enlarge it. It's got a lot of detail...

lol...here in Oz you have to accept the gas grill as we have so many fire danger days.
We have fire days too. I lived in Washington state, where most of the people who don't live in Seattle are loggers. And because we had black flag days in the woods, most people who used to smoke switched to chewing tobacco!

During summer in Oz it is more often a fire day than not some years, that's not even mentioning total fire ban days when even a grill is banned.

I know a guy who got arrested and fined for lighting up a grill inside city limits on a black flag day. He knew better, he just thought he wouldn't get caught. The city isn't that big and crime is low, so the cops look for things like that.

How hot does Washington get during the summer? I know it gets pretty cold during the winter...I never thought it got as hot as we do here.
