2.5 bankers boxes of Fine Homebuilding magazines to get rid of. Would cost more to ship somewhere than they're worth, probably.  Anyone want a collection from issue 7 to 170 or so, not complete, but 80-90% probably.  Good to very good condition.

I hate throwing out stuff that someone might want, but they gotta go somewhere.

Just did a 2 hour enduro race in a Radical at Watkins Glen.   Amazing.   

Was a challenge to run the same lap times for That long.   Finished 2nd.

iRacing? The Radical still loose?

Just watched The Origami Revolution on Nova and it was fascinating!  This concept is going to radically change the manufacturing process of just about everything.

Project cars.   Radical feels realistic.   A little loose but you need to go shower fast for the downforce to kick in.

I use to own one so it does feel realistic to me

Ah, that was yopu. Lucky guy.

I need to do some Pcars. I haven't in a bit. I just got Assetto to where I think I'm happy with the feel so might do some Pcars too. I prefer the feel of AC for realism but quite like Pcars. I didn't think i would but it's one that I found when I tried it I just instantly liked it.

I'm not much of a gamer any more, but man it's incredible to see the graphics and realism of today's games.  This is GTA 5.

Funny you mention that.  Dusted off the PS3 last night. Finally beat UnCharted Drakes Fortune 2.  Every 1-2 months I would be playing an hour or two.  Probably started way back in October (after the landscaping and camping season was over)

I spend a couple hours a week playing.  I've been spending my time on Battlefield 1 on the PS4.  Fantastic looking (and enjoyable) game.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Yes.  Supposed to be as realistic as possible for such a game...

I readdicted to Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific. Submarine game. It's good because I can get other things done and unlike my simrig doesn't beat me up physically so I don't have to worry about howe I'm feeling that day to play it. ;D

Kind of miss those days.  Have a hard time playing video games after 9pm.  And that's when I have the most alone time!

Maybe.  But I notice there are very few games that have multiplayer without using internet. I used to play all kinds of games with my brother right next to me.  Now what, need two consoles?  2 accounts?  And what about good old LAN parties! Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Doom II, and Quake 3 Arena were my favourites.

Huh... :think: This racoon has been sleeping in the same spot in the ditch every day on my way to work. 3 days now.  Starting to look a little hungry though.  Was definitely a little chubbier yesterday.  Guess his harem of babe's isn't bringing grapes anymore for the king.  And I know he can't be dead, otherwise the foxes would've spooked dragged him off by now.  Right??  ???
