He's actually got two. See the second e-bolt "in the bright" sitting outside of the second M98 towards the top right? I've got one as well, but the old board was effed up and stuck on "reactive" mode. I did the DMLCD mod with it and it works, but I'm actually looking to swap that board out for a DM4 board now that they're easy enough (and cheap enough) to come by. Just need a new set of clamshells, a double trigger, and the board and a QEV for the back end to allow faster operation. |

Just picked up Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. I need some epic series to read and someone recommended Malazan Books of the Fallen.
Music, been listening to a bunch of local bands, Doc Watson, etc.

If you like fantasy, I really enjoyed the Dragon Prince/Dragon Star series (serii?) by Melanie Rawn.

Wife bought me "What If?" By Randall Munroe (xkcd) for Christmas.
Fantastic read, absolutely hilarious. |

I finished listening to The Martian audiobook. It was great. Interesting to see the differences between the movie and the book. The endings are different. The narrator did really well.
I found The Hobbit audiobook today. Will start that tonight. I'm glad the library has a lot of audiobooks. I find reading to be too static? I have a hard time reading and not start thinking of other things, then realizing I don't know what I just read. Being able to drive, work on other things, doing puzzles, or cleaning and lubing the paintball gear while listening to a book really helps me keep attention to the book. I was curious how I would react to listening to the book because listening to the priest at church also makes me start thinking of other things.

Finished reading Thunder in the Mountains: The West Virginia Mine War and it's an excellent read if you're into the lesser-known history of the US. Basically, due to the actions of mine operators in the late 1800's and early 1900's, a shooting war was started in the hills of southern WV and culminated in an all-out pitched battle on Blair Mountain complete with machine-gun nests, artillery pieces, and aerial bombing campaigns against US citizens.
It's actually a pretty important part of history that a lot of people today forget. Less than 100 years ago, a bunch of blue-collar workers armed with pistols, rifles, and shotguns basically took over half of an entire state, commandeering trains, automobiles, and entire towns, and likely would have defeated the national guard, state police, and federal forces if they had been more coordinated with a single, solidifying leader. |

Just read Clockwork Orange. Hoo whee. That one was a wild ride. Movie did a great job from what I remember. Been a while since I've seen it, though.

I guess they were more organized than the group taking over a wildlife refuge? |

Robocop if you enjoy audio books and like the HP universe the version read by Stephen Fry is really good. Dunno if your library has them but you can down load them.

I plan to do the Harry Potter audiobooks at some point. I stopped reading them when I started the fifth book. Never went back to finish them.

I started up the Harry Potter series again. I'm in the same boat as you, Robo. I stopped at book 4 around the time it was new and never tried again. I tell you, I used to be a BIG HP fan when I was younger. Rereading the book is taking me back.
It's also a super weird thing to read directly after A Clockwork Orange... |

Book 4 was my favorite, then the movie disappointed me. I wish they would release a mini movie of the world cup. I was so excited for that, then it was cut out as soon as the game started.

Is he the one that did the original audio books way back when? If so, he's GREAT. |

Stephen Fry is the closet homosexual TV guy from V for Vendetta, he also voices "Lord Stag" in "Lily's Driftwood Bay" (which is a good pre-school cartoon). Dude does a bit of everything.

So, I gotta say that Gardens of the Moon, the first book of the Malazan Book of the Fallen was sweet. I'm on Deadhouse Gates, the second one now.
I'm really digging this storyline. If anyone's looking for something similar to GoT or anything, so far this series has impressed me. |

I'm not big on audiobooks, but Amazon offered the Audible version of the Martian for cheap a while back because I already owned the Kindle version. It is a fantastic performance of the book. Edited by Shub - 22 January 2016 at 1:14pm |

Bill Burr's new show on Netflix, which is named F is for Family is fantastic. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
