Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you guys !

Thanks you guys, I actuall spent the night playing in my band at the Casino here in town. Was great, My parents, sister and alot of friends were able to come out. Had a great time.

Halli, your such a subversive......

I forget the guys name who is the Parts Manager over there, hopefully he still works there. He was there that night with us. what a long day that was.

I did a small stint in Halli's hometown of Nashville in 2007, recorderd a song and did a music video for a conference for Navistar International Truck and Engine Corporation. The poeple who did the video work put this up awhile back and I ran into it and thought it might be cool to share with you guys. Som of you know the story, some dont, but anyways here is the videa. I am the guy with the Fender strat, (one of my own guitars) with thesunglasses adn the black hat on. Myself and the other guitar payer recorded the rythem tracks which are me in one channel and him in another, with myself recording the guitar solo. About 3:32 is some live footage of us opening for Sugarland two weeks later at the conference. The time is Last weekend of March, 2007, 2-3am after 10 hours in the sound kitchen recording studio in Nashville, inside the International Truck dealerships service department. Enjoy. DrNo Vid

I saw that on tv. Was pretty cool.

HAppy Birthday bud !!

Yikes, Good to hear its going to work out good. Now Im sure we all want to know if you spanked that monkey while in there.....

After he scanned you for your yummy cargo he noticed you were too good a target to leave alone. Think about it for a few weeks and you'll feel better.....

Happy Birthday !

"one ping only"

Only when im really really drunk........"hic".....

This is in my home town. I was out at noon when it happend on my bike wondering what all the fire trucks were doing flying around town. CF-18 rigged for show demo's out of Cold Lake, Alberta, During practice the day ahead of the air show, doing the low speed pass, at the end of the run he throttled up to acclerate out of the manuver as they do, usually full afterbuner pull out, the starboard engine is said to have then popped a few times with sparks and something comming out, Port engine would have been at full throttle as per manuver exit, yaw rate at such a low speed resulted in the aircraft yawing to the starboard while at the same time, stalling the aircraft, he punched out just in time. Chute was about 70% open when he hit the ground and the wind from the fire pulled him for about 150 yards across the ground. In true Canadian AirForce fashion i doubt we'll really get told what happened, but it looks like engine failure from a mechainical issue or it ingested a bird it couldnt handle. Flight conditions were very good that day, a bit cooler, mid cloud, minor wind which he was flying into during the routine. Pilot reported to be ok with minor issues, non that are anounced. Well, now we can get those F-35's on order casue our fleet crashed..... lol

I like the thingy that turns....

Where the hell did I put my Ghost recon disc......

Happy Birthday bud

I think that C was supposed to be an F

Look what it took to get an interest in the corp lol. Ill explain. This may sound like Im ticked but im really not. No offense intended to anyone at all. Gunny and I have been maintaining LOSC for over two years. Very very rarely did anyone else show any interest at all and when they did it was ussually all about them and not the corp (there are about two exceptions to this). Good examples of this are the flack I got when I raised the tax from 5-8%. I couldnt belive the attitude. This is for the corp to pay bills not to bleed the toons dry. Now the corp was a cool place to text chat for sure but thats about all it was. Gunny and I hung out in the same area of space for about a year when we decided to branch out and help noobs and work our toons area of space according to race. In essence, we played alone and got used to it. We did develope some good relationships outside the corp in those times and we ended up going our own way much like Cobol, Viiper and others did. Thats the game and its a natural occurance. No big deal. But we still had a corp with 17 toons and only two that did anything. (4 if you count our alts) Recently another former member who plays regularly and I decided to go into a venture including Gunny if he wanted to and I pulled DrNoOne out of LOSC for that. Gunny wasnt in a position to participate at that time but has since decided to pull both toons out of LOSC and try the venture as well. So that left me by myself with 16 non active players. Then I started looking at why we have this corp. Its only there as a last hold onto a past that went bad with the war dec and all active players left to do thier own thing and all that was left was gunny and I, and a pack of no shows. That is also ok, that is how the game goes, no hard feelings at all. Looking at contributions to the LOSC corporate account, gunny and I put in hundreds and hundreds of hours and hundreds of millions of capital so I split it between us to help capitalize the new venture previously mentioned. I did pay back one toon who had donated a good sum for his experiance level first. Then we had one player who was doing all sorts of pvp in low sec under the LOSC banner which was not acceptable so I kicked him out. Then I got thinking some more about how I and everyone else needed a new start, we need to let go of this two year old dinosaur and the best way to do that was punt everyone out, resign, and close it down. So thats what I did. A- No collective agreement was neccesary. I made the decision. I was the CEO. The director ship never came to any meetings. A- There was no debate as I had no one to debate with. A- There was no notification. I thought about it but decided against it. If your going to load the gun, you might as well pull the trigger. A- Yes it did have a history but if it was so important you would think there would be some continued active collaboration. It was there for convinence and nothing else. At some time Id like to play the game for me and not 16 others. A- Warrented some consideration. I didnt get any. Not that its an excuse. A- No it wasnt an automatic thing. I did this on my own accord. A- If anyone wants to relaunch the LOSC hetitage, have at er, u dont need my permission. Although I'd suggest not holding onto a non existant past in a vitrual reality game. lol A bunch of you have already moved onto what I think youll find way more rewarding and stimulating game play. I hope this helps people understand, its not easy to put it in print. I have had mic issues and have not been on TS. Again, I really love you guys and respect all of you and please remember, its a game and people are going to play it thier way. this is very clear to me as everyone did play it thier way and I ve fell extremly alone in the eve universe. Mayby now we can start having even more fun. If I ticked anyone off I applogise. Fly safe and hope to share a docking station some day. Even though everyone is galaxies apart I know that if the call went out, we would all come to the aid of any of our Sparta membership.

This is pretty cool man

All the best T! You will do fantastic!
