Title: To All My Friends & Adversaries in AH
Post by: Sloehand on April 22, 2020, 05:35:21 PM
I can't get into to game just right now (fixing game PC  :joystick:), but wanted to say 'Hi' to everyone. I've been away for quite awhile mostly due to various annoying health issues, though nothing terminal... yet  :old:.  Left just after AH's big move to the new terrain, and also a very dismal contribution on my part during a scenario event.  My eyes were just gone because of cataracts.  Got them fixed finally. 
Some other issues like bleeding stomach ulcer and passing a gall stone -- painfully -- didn't help either.  One month and two hospitals later they finally believed me when I said I'd passed the stone by the time I got to the first hospital's emergency room.  Great fun had by all  :bhead.
Anyway, I kept paying Hitech every month cause I knew I'd be back someday and here I am.  Don't look so sad.  I can be paid to go away again! But I'm not cheap.  I just look and act that way for sympathy.
So, whomever remembers me fondly... or otherwise, just post a quick "Hi" to let me know you're still jn the game.

In the halcyon days of cars you could work on, I used to tell the spouse, "Dear, most cars start needing significant repairs around 50-60k miles.  The water pump fails, then the alternator goes, maybe the radiator or the starter or the timing chain, and fixing them is kind of expensive.  But then, once you've fixed all of them, you're good for another 40k or 50k!"  Sounds like you're of a comparable age.  Now you're fixed, and we're all looking forward to seeing you in the virtual skies again.  Welcome back!
