Sounds like an excuse to drink beer!

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

"Real" liquor and flight "simulation", couldn't think of a more entertaining concept/practice. Cheesy

Well, I could think up a lot more entertaining dalliances.

I was at work. I do remember that on June 22, 1982 I bought a pair of shoes that cost $82. They were Florsheim loafers. Very comfortable and very expensive for the time. Other than that, it was just another day to earn what they pay me...

I am homebrewer. I had 633 posts when for some unknown reason, my account disappeared...
AMD Phenom II X4 940 (Deneb), Asus M3N72-D motherboard, 2 x nVidia 8800GTS @640MB RAM, 1 x Seagate Barracuda 500Gb HDD (storage), 1 x Western Digital Black 250Gb HDD (boot), 12Gb 800Mhz G.Skill RAM (5-5-5-18), 2x Sony DVD writers, 28-inch ViewSonic monitor given to me by my computer guru, FS2004, Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), 850-watt Thermaltake modular p/s, 7 x 120mm fans to cool it...
