[The Fugitive]

Noooo that is wrong way thinkin'.  Some days may feel that way but most you have to keep on keeping on. LOL

LOL! Im not "thinking" it, Im FEELING IT!!!!

I work for an "essential" business and all through this pandemic I go to close to a dozen different location each day. Of course I get the normal questions before I can enter... Have you been near..... have you left the country.... blah blah blah. The killer is do you have soreness or coughing? Ya for the last 20 years!!! Im 62 years old!!!! LOL!!

I figure if I can roll out of bed in the morning its a good day!

We have an essential business too. Been business as usual for us. Maybe a little slower but not bad.

Any day you wake up breathing is a good day.

Wow.... I would hate to actually have to answer that. ROTFLMAO

[The Fugitive]

I use Spatula's program that pulls the data from HTC's servers in bunches instead of checking your scores one tour at a time. Once the data is there you can split it up a bunch of different ways to get totals. Its fun if you like digging into the "numbers"

Ahh yes I have heard of his program. He made that quite some time ago. I have never used it as I never had a reason to... or so I thought. Pretty nice little program to do that.

[guncrasher]

this is funny as hell, I was schedule for surgery on my back today.  had to cancel it because I couldnt get out of bed.  getting old sometimes sucks, but with good humor and god, we live as best as we can.

when I feel down, i think about what my best friend told me a couple of years ago.  he had a surfing accident at 17, he's been in a wheel chair since then.  he told me stop being a wuss, you know what I would give to be able to walk even with the pain you have.  even since then things changed for me.

and why I am telling you this?  it's because that mofo once left me outside of his van in the cold while he had 2 girls he had just met.  nothing stops him from enjoying life, he's about my age 56 them girls were in their 20's.  he's in a wheel chair  you should see him dance in it and he can hardly move his hands and yes his thing works.

that's what I learned from him, ignore the pain, go on with your life.

Thanks. Can you point me in the direction where I can find this program/data?

I'd like to see my 109k4 stats. Probably a 0.5 KD

You can find the same info on the games website under "scores and stats". You can run it a month at a time. This program will run multiple months and combine the info. Click on the image below (I now need to find out why I cant post images to the message boards from my server.....grrrrr) to see a larger version....and readable version of the last 2 years of your score/stats.

(spoiler: K/D in the K4 is 1.21)

Thanks Fugitive!

So this is what 62 feels like.

 

It feels like Hell actually. But one has to keep smiling cause I doubt you can when your dead.

Actually it feels pretty good.  I am heavier than I'd like to be but that is mostly because of medication I have to take after a problem I had about 5 years back. Most folks are shocked to learn my age, they think I am a lot younger.

Most folks are shocked to learn my age, they think I am a lot younger.

For contrast, here is this true story:

Two weeks or so ago, I took my 91-year-old mother to get her first Covid shot.  After half an hour waiting in line, we finally got to the little desk with all the syringes in the box and a pleasant woman waiting to stick people with them.  My mother sat down for her shot.  I remained standing.  The woman looked at me, then at my mother.  Back at me, back at my mother.

"Is this your husband?" she asked.

Good news for my mother.  An unpleasant moment for yours truly.
