Good luck Knight! I haven't gamed in forever either. I need to pick a day and just jump back in.

Cheers Kit. I guess I wasn't quite accurate, the race sim still gets fired up from time to time. Aside from that though the consoles are pretty much unused. Online accounts canceled as well. Never say never though, something may grab my attention down the line. :)

Is that where you go out into a muddy field, naked, and wriggle around until a crow pecks you on the ass?

. No more 2 hour trips and literally living a separate life while with him. I'm lucky to have 5 siblings to share the load. My older brother handled all the planning and logistics.

As fate would have it, my Dad didn't make it into the nursing home. He passed away today. At 87, he had a pretty good trip.

Condolences Deep. So sorry for your loss and all you've gone through recently <3

My gran lost her 5 year battle with cancer weeks after we finally got her to leave her condo for a nice assisted living facility. My dad has a sister but she was "busy" (shopping at Walmart) to ever help with my gran.

I really need to get back into gaming. Im not sure I can jump straight into halo though. I'm not even sure if anyone is playing it anymore?

So you know how I joke about getting a new autoimmune diagnosis every year (but it's true)? Looks like I didn't make it through 2016 without a new one to add to the list. Having a nerve biopsy of two places on my leg November 2nd to see if I have some neuropathy thingy. Didn't even bother writing it down yet. It'll be two weeks after that before I get results, and even if I do have it they treat it with the chemo I'm already on and "maybe some other medications." *eye roll*

And my house needs a new roof.

But other than all that things are swell.

Have any of you ever had bad vertigo? Dr wants to start treating it like an ear infection with antibiotics, but I've never had this with ear infection before. From about an hour after I go to bed til hours after I get up, the room is spiny and my head feels like it's heavy. What the hell

Yes, I have. Longest period was a week. No treatment required except trying not to aggravate it. It's sometimes caused by tiny crystals getting into the tubes which sense balance.

Once some recovery is achieved, a few simple balance exercises won't hurt and might help.

First Deep many condolences mate.

Merry Christmas to those having one, merry whatever else you may wish. Life is good here at Castle Knight, we are getting another car, going hybrid this time with a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Doing some research and looking at our average journeys we are going to save a packet on fuel. New guitar under the tree that I am looking forward to playing, Mrs Knight has loads of new cloths (Yeah I am a great cloths shopper strangely) and the biggest collection of Zumba DVD's on the planet that she will be delighted with.  

Still banging away at the music. I'll throw a link to my soundcloud account for the curious, eclectic mix of stuff. https://soundcloud.com/los-cajones

Glad to see you sharing some of your music work Knight.  I always peruse through your channel when I see something new pop across my feed.  surprise

Mostly good, no snow and no illness.

After several years of use, I am stripping/cutting the old integrated lights from our artificial tree. Next year will be much simpler to trouble shoot the lights. It took several hours an maybe a 100 replacement bulbs to get them working this year. The tree is too good to throw out yet.

Pretty good, a new guitar to add to the collection that I am really enjoying. Mrs Knight was taken clothes shopping something I weirdly enjoy. I have a good eye for what looks good on her and will spend a happy few hours going from shop to shop to find the right stuff.

Christmas itself was a quiet affair, we don't have to do the relative thing and like our own company.

We have also recently changed car, our Q3 was a lovely motor but the whole emissions scandal that broke shortly after we bought it really took the shine off it. Cost us a packet in lost residual value as well. So we have picked up a late 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.  A good sized SUV that is actually better for the environment and does not kick out poisons from the tail pipe. So that's been interesting, learning how to get the best out of a hybrid.
