4 seasons in 400 miles would be interesting to do. (The route checks out on google maps) Renting an AWD (super) car from Vegas? How hard could it be (at the right time of year)? Hard to get the cinematography wrong with that kind of scenery (and foreground interest)

Yes, but how big is your steam backlog? Go on. http://steamleft.com/ Via : http://www.pcgamer.com/heres-how-long-it-will-take-to-play-through-your-steam-backlog/

Proper Tea & (Chocolate) Cake

Indeed, This kind of stuff = It is, indeed, alive!

No ketchup?

Which is more than can be said about our squad in Ghost Recon : Wildlands after finally managing to infiltrate a heavily defended base when a certain $omeone managed to suicide / team kill us all with a single bullet thanks to poor trigger discipline while we all gathered around an ammo crate. Impressive, for all the wrong reasons.

It's Alive!

Unfortunately not, However the Chocolate Mousse / Chocolate Ganache works for breakfast / elevenses

Happy Birthday! And all of the above.

Pay attention 007

[emoji444] it's the circle of life upgrades[emoji444] ...

Yes.

Happy Birthday Bonnie, You shall return!

Top Gear is back with a new studio, and the old track. Chemistry has had a chance to mature, and the removal of the shouty ginger git is for the best. Automotive prOn with Mr Harris and the FXXK, and a suitably epic old school challenge that didn't feel over scripted / cringeworthy. Value add web/ "Extra" for the car nerds. A solid start ( mark II ). (Even if it is "only" 1080p)

Have had previous bad experiences with Scottish Power (confusing web site, you can pay them electronically, but they only issue refunds by cheque etc etc) Then there's the looming UK "Energy Gap" (having less generation capacity then demand, and long lead times for new builds ... oops, too late) ...

Happy Birthday (and cheaper parking) Nate.

Happy Birthday!

Let me know what you negotiate, so I can undercut Chris with my 970 GTX, because saving money and seeing Chris suffer is a win-win, right Brent?

Lunch à deux And there was cornbread

Yesterday, Jump started the car 3 times with this, After the battery finally failed after 5 years and 10 months, as the starting had become progressively more suspect. Bought a replacement battery. I picked up a couple, after reading up on the Wirecutter, after "someone" managed to flatten a battery by means unknown (probably by leaving a light on, or door/trunk open). Small enough and light weight enough to keep in the car, and get to the battery, if say you have parked nose in, or would otherwise be unable to get a conventional jump start from another vehicle. Handy logic indicator lights in the cable (reminds you disconnect after starting) I'm a believer.
