    Calling on you gamers

    I am no longer supporting the COD franchise. After Advanced Warfare being a total let down and a waste of my R800 I decided not to support them anymore. That and that actor they used put me off the games. So I am glad I did not pre-order the WW2 game.
  2. Not yet. Attempting to swing my dad into the frame of mind to start his own thing and move away from the frame of mind that he has to work for a company. So working on it. Oh and got my dad the Mitre saw. If we did not have that saw things would not have worked out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  3. So visited the folks yesterday to do a bit of wood work. Here is what we accomplished. Used pallet wood, stained and used a sanding sealer on the wood. My dad wanted to do things his way, and took a lot of short cuts, but all in all I think for a first attempt at this was not to bad. Just needs a bit of electrical work and two bulbs. My dad also started a coffee table, but did not get to far. Darkness caught us and the fumes from the stain and sealer was a bit to much in the “shed” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Got me a 2nd hand Xbox 360S Want to reduce my power consumption as the PC can draw 500 watts of power and a max of 700watts. First console of the sorts. Got it for the older games. Will get a Xbox One later, but for now the 360 will have to do Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  5. Cool. Will see if I can get this in a retail setting. Thanks, Pants Boy. Oh will skip on the Mirte saw for now.
  6. Thanks The Metabo is sort of out of my reach at the moment money wise. Thought this will do for now, but now I am not so sure; https://www.builders.co.za/Power-Tools/Bench-Top-Tools/Mitre-band-Saw-%26-Cut-off-Saws/Ryobi-210mm-Mitre-Saw-%28850w%29/p/000000000000515047
  7. Guys, my dad will kill me for this... He was retrenched earlier this year. He is a real handy guy that can make a stunning braai out of a few pieces of stainless steel. My grandfather was a meneer at woodwork. Had all the great toys and machines needed to make a mediocre piece of wood something great that lasted. But my grandfather was a twat and left everything to his son in law that gave away all the machines after the old man passed. So dad has the basics. A old router (that trips the power), sanders, drills and a circular saw. So he can get most things done, but I want to help him a bit. I know he needs a planer (my uncle has one and the 25km outing does them good) But are there things that can make life easier for him? One thing that I loved as a kid was the DeWalt mitre saw (but that is long gone) I know the router can be fixed. I think it is either the brushes that needs cleaning or replacement, but I think that is a Makita router, so it will outlast us all... Wood saw is on the list (he uses a grinder as a saw) and chisels maybe later? Any books that will help him? We are heading home this weekend to go and build a headboard for me and the SO, and to help him on his other projects, but first of all to give him a wood saw! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    My newest addiction comes via World of Warships. Free game, but you can buy things to get ahead of the pack... That and the 40GB game download can be a pain some times.

    Been playing Euro Truck Sim 2 on the MacBook the past few days. Had the PC on twice the past month, so no playtime. The SO has this way to make me feel guilty of a game session every now and then. Had the PC on today, she remarked something and I shut the system down. So starting to think of selling the GTX 1070 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  13. Sounds like it was caused by pressure. No idea how or why, but would happen at every sneeze. But since Friday, it stopped. The pain associated with the sneezing has abated as well. Still have a red larynx and still a lot of snot, oh and tummy is not happy with me, but feeling much better today. The SO on the other hand sounds far worst than yesterday...

  14. And out again... started feeling a scratch on Friday. Saturday and Sunday I was out with the worst body ache. Only got out of bed to wee. Went to the office yesterday, stuck it out. This morning woke up with a very bad headache. Went to the office, started sneezing and then the blackout. Stood up and but did not get far, and lost track of where I was on my way to site. Had to assist one client on site and now in bed again. Bad thing is the whole office is out. Started with the owner, and ended with us all sick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I ordered a new screen card for my PC. Wait time was 6 weeks, but I got it in 2 weeks (about 3 weeks back) I wanted to get a GTX1060 but seems that the GTX1060 falls in the budget for most bitcoin mining rigs, thus the wait time was some 6 - 10 weeks. So decided that a bonus month was on the way and I billed quite a huge amount, and I sold a NUC, I decided to go for the GTX1070. Played a few games on it, but sharing time with the SO and gaming time is a juggling game, So need to get a few hours in on the games, of I have to find out how to mine Bitcoin or Cryptocurrencies.
  17. Started watching http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5638056/ (the Mick) Wanted something that I did not have to do any thinking. And this fits well into that category.
  18. Was one of the best movies I have seen.Explains DID in a way that no other series or movie has ever done. Not even United States of Tara came close... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  19. This is where a fart on command works well. Or just slow down, and slow down some more till they pass you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  20. On my test at Watloo they had a bug problem. So had to get off the bike, throw up on the yard as I swallowed a mouth full of miggies. Lady was very friendly and kind, but it did help to go for the driver education course at BMW to know what to do, what not to do, and if you do make a mistake, how to cover it up.

  21. Started watching Banshee... Did not know the age restriction on it. First episode and within 5 min banging... So not something that you will watch with mom and dad. The remote worked overtime on skipping some scenes. But overall not a bad series. Still need to watch the last episode of season 1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  22. I once (in 1998) tried to be a show off. I fell my ass off when locking my rear brake caused me to flip (at speed) in front of about 70% of the school. I was out for about 30 seconds. Spoke like a little girl for more than a week as well. Still something that most people remember me by. Was an epic fail Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  23. 'T was a cold morning, and I just had to stick my phone up its face... iPhone SE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  24. Still have to start watching Masterchef. Busy with Bates Motel, but Charlie from the chocolate factory is starting to irritate me big time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  25. Anyone watch APB yet? https://g.co/kgs/7pQsJH Me and the SO started watching Bates Motel. On season 2, but scouting new watchies before hand Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
