R.I.P. Jerry Lee Lewis.
Most of us in the Old Farts Club would remember Jerry as we are in that age range.

Has anyone seen Terry Carter (TeeCee) lately? I know he wasn't enjoying the best of health and was pushing 80 and hoping he was taking a break.

The thing is Landon there are a lot of people out there, me included, who get stuck into the assembly thing with the attitude of if all else fails RTFM.

Hi Graeme, still here, just! You are right, I have been a little inactive of late. The reason being is I decided to throw myself wholeheartedly into MSFS and literally delete P3d and DCS from my drives! I know, a rather drastic measure, but I wanted to solely concentrate on MSFS, I hope that makes sense. I also spent a shed load of hard earned cash, and I mean hard earned cash, on a new PC. Once I had tasted MSFS I could only see that as the future. However, I soon got very disillusioned with it, what with the constant bugs and poor performance, but hey, since SU6 I have found a new interest in the sim
It really does give me virtually everything I have wanted from a sim. I know there are many who will scoff and say it's not a proper sim and then go on to compare it with P3d and XP. But hey, I can see, like many others the full potential. It's still early days, but things are moving along quickly as you know Graeme. When things keep getting in the way of you really enjoying something, I find it's often easier to walk away from things, which for the past 12 months is effectively what I did. The pandemic kind of screwed with me too, like others, I'm sure. So even before MSFS, my interest was somewhat waning. But alas, I have now seen the light! I am finding a new interest in simming, so I hope to see more of you around the forum 
The only problem I see with most airports is that most of them don't own a lawnmower of some type. Some of the ultra-lights and small aircraft almost disappear if parked on the grassed area.

Where did the Islander paint scheme come from please?

A very friendly site. As a matter of fact I am a moderator of Canelos Cantina there.

Hi John
You know, I never thought much about it as I was putting it together.
But now, just looking at it, gosh -- it makes your eyes cross!!
What was I thinking? 
It's almost a bit scary .... now you know why I try to do real life rendering... Artistic stuff I have no
talent for, and it definitely shows doesn't it

Thanks for that Pete. Looks like I might have to fire up X-Plane again.

Us old farts lead a rather quiet, mundane life here with sudden bursts of activity then a hiatus to rest up for the next one. Oh did I mention we occasionally fire up our sim and take off anywhere in the world.

I spent 8 years growing up on a farm. I had 2 cows to milk each morning before breakfast then go to school. It was a daily routine for me but something I loved. On frosty winter mornings I would dip my hands in the warm milk to warm them up. Being a sheep farm we had a good supply of meat.
