Home Sweet Home

[Blind Owl]

After 7.5 months, 2 extensions, and some interesting times, my deployment is done. I have bid farewell to the Middle East, and I'm home with my family as of last night.

Thanks to all of you, you've been awesome supports and friends throughout. Glad to be party of this big happy family that is TEST. Y'all rock!

Looking forward to Discord beers crashing shenanigans in the next few weeks.

Cheers,

Owl

[Cool-Hand-Luke]

Welcome home Owl.

Welcome Home, Owl!

Being away from home sucks hard, glad you're back safe and sound. Hope to see you in the Verse after you've had some time to decompress and spend time with family. We can dock our Carracks!

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

Congratulations and welcome home :)

 

[Deroth]

Welcome home!

Make a decision on the new computer yet? The last one I saw you link looked decent but maybe not the best option.

Going on any family trips now?

 

[Glum]

Welcome home sir! Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

 

[Fin_Corso]

Glad your home safe with the family!

 

[Zookajoe]

Welcome home! May your waffles ever be warm, and your beer cold!

 

[Aramsolari]

Welcome home!

 

[Blind Owl]

Thanks a million folks! It's freaking good to be home. Time for some beer, steak, and family time. I have many Lego sets to build with an exuberant 4 year old, haha.

Hope to see you in the Verse after you've had some time to decompress and spend time with family. We can dock our Carracks!

I'm looking forward to it Grimbli. Sincerely!

I did!
I'm getting this:
MSI SY Infinite X 9SF-611CA Plus Ci9-9900K 32GB 512GB+2TB RTX2080ti W10P RTL
With the Acer Predator z321qu 32" 1440p GSync monitor

I'd recommend getting as much RAM as you can. I bought my computer years ago when 16GB was WAY more than I thought I'd ever need. Now due to memory leak issues I sometimes find myself having to shut down and restart to continue playing games.

Unfortunately the type or RAM I have is older so to get any more would cost almost as much as getting the newer kind.

Unless you plan to slowly add to your computer in the coming years, I'd take what you think the max you need and double it.

Also, 512GB on an SSD gets filled up faster than you'd think.

WELCOME BACK!!! You Canadian Moose Riding, Maple Syrup Bathing, (and third Candain insult) brother. good that you are back!

Maple Syrup Bathing

You can BATHE in maple syrup?!

I've been missing out!

I am 99% sure that Canada uses Maple Syrup for EVERYTHING the rest of the world uses water for. If you give a Canadian a drink of water he will ask what it is and why it's not maple syrup. I means it's basically their currency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Canadian_Maple_Syrup_Heist

@Blind Owl returns home to Canada and Canadian Barred Owls go to war against Californian Spotted Owls...coincidence?

Uudelleenohjausilmoitus

...or is it the fault of the Californian Spotted Owl for all that bragging about local craft beers but not having the foresight to make regular shipments to owls in Canada that have BAR in their name?

 

[Vavrik]

Welcome home Owl! Hah, it looks like there's a little present from the weatherman coming your way in the morning.

 

[Talonsbane]

@Blind Owl , you're back from the Middle East, huh? How goes the war against the weather in Canadian Forces Base 9 Wing Gander near St. John's in Newfoundland?

I'm guessing that is what you are referring to since that is approximately along the middle of the Eastern Coast of the Canadian border. *winks playfully* I know that I'm probably way wrong, but I hate the idea of my friends being in situations that might actually be dangerous for them, unless they're competing at BEERFEST. In which I simply wish them "Cheers & bottoms up!"
