I think i havn´t posted so far !?!?!?
I went to Friedrichshafen at the swabian sea called "Bodensee" He´s between german, swiss and austrain border and goes into Rhein River. It´s pretty nice there and if there no clouds, you will have a nice Alpen-Panorama View. Statue of Mr.Zeppelin Just some heat bubble´s not bad but after Long walks this is possible !

Shure we can plan a Meeting, somewhere downtown in Germany !
For me traveling is cheap(Close to Zero) cause of Amputee-ID + puplic transport ticket. Example Nürnberg-Stuttgart 200km, (standad car and traffic)max. 8l of gas for 100km, gasoline Prices today regular 1l / 1,50€ and Diesel 1l / 1,30€. You don´t have to waste ca. 50€´s to meet me, for me it´s normaly no Problem to travel just takes more time !!! Here i went to Heidelberg to have a Little walking Training: Was a nice sunny day and i had a hard climb up this goat path i called him. But i was more exiting than Walking standard like all the tourists !

Spyder, I'll be in Germany at some point next summer. I know we'll be in Nuremberg towards the end of my time over there which isn't that far away from Baden-Wurttemberg from an American standpoint (I used to drive an hour each way to get to and from work every single day for example). I'll give you a shout as the trip gets closer to see if you would be interested in meeting up for a beer or something.

Nice! I used to be stationed in Boeblingen and lived in Leonberg.. If you're still there, the Schoenbuch Brauhaus is excellent.

Yikes right back. When this hit we had a good superintendent who delayed his planned retirement to see out the year. They worked out a decent hybrid plan over the summer with the new acting super, and somehow accidentally voted against a remote start to allow phasing into hybrid. Nobody else around tried that, then we got used was an example to push others to try it while the locals insisted on using parochial schools as examples for why we should be all-in without masks, which was never an option. We pretty quickly hit the automatic remote pivot point after Thanksgiving thanks to test-positivity in the community (the local PD had an outbreak) and immediately re-negotiated, rushed a general membership vote overnight, and ended up somehow ceding all decision-making to the acting super, who was then immediately hired permanently without competition. We also went right back and almost immediately shutdown again because we ran out of staff and subs even without a move for work-to-rule because everyone was sick or quarantined. Local idiots have organized themselves to push for all-in along with anti-vaxx and anti-mask and have been actively harassing and stalking teachers. One even had pictures of her at a funeral for her sibling shared with her admins and school board as evidence that they were going out in public. I had to lock down a lot of my social media since I was getting loads of very suspicious messages from sock accounts and anonymous views on linked-in all of a sudden. A few of those contacts looked like low-effort jailbait honeypots of the variety that should end in a woodchipper, which tracks since these reopen at all cost groups are full of people in Hawaiin shirts for some reason. This hasn't been a good time, but hey, numbers are down and despite a lot of people getting sick, nobody in the system died. Sure, they've been hospitalized and need continuing O2 therapy, and maybe their relatives died. I still might get Jimmy Hoffa'd if I don't shut up, but I'm not even a rep or anything, just a loudmouth.

It's amazing seeing this slice of the Internet still alive & kicking, and the occasional drop-in from you all saying hello.
I'm married, 30ish, moved to rural-ish New England by all the good snowboarding, I love it here. Currently an engineering leader at a tech company, and have been full time remote over the course of the pandemic. Still have my SL-68-II pump gun, my prized possession. I wonder if PBC on IRC is still up & running. you all.

I´ve been to Baden-Württemberg´s other middle, this one is the the middle of the balance of the map the other one is calculated by N/E/S/W villages of the State of Baden-Württemberg.
(the middle in Tübingen Looks better than in Böblingen but as Born Böblinger i´m a bit patriotic ) Here a pic of me on a stormy saturday on top of a viewspot behind Tübingen Hospital Hill. The Grey building with different sized Windows is where i have my Physio-Action´s ! (Yes my hat is in worse shape cause of UV Light, but still in well conditions, thoose Flexfit caps are good Quality) Edited by spydercam - 16 March 2021 at 6:08pm |

Yikes.
I'm causing a ruckus at work too because we've spent the last year being told we're essential and having to work during the lockdowns and have had some traffic to push, including flights to fetch vaccines to now be told we're not part of the expidited vaccine roll out for essential workers because.... Reasons. We've been unable to strike or even work-to-rule because we're so essential in the last 20 years and have been shafted every wage negotiation for what? To be told well you're essential but not essential essential. |

Oh wow, this is back. I'm uh, relationshipped up for a year and a half, halfway to being vaccinated, and despite loathing union politics have decided to open my big mouth about a variety of things that undercut peddled fictions and am probably risking my job in a public school for it, but the threats are coming from within the union and not the administration so yay? This whole year has been an absolute goat-rodeo.

Hiooooo!
Welp I'm married with two kids now, 5 and 3. I'm middle management in a distribution center for a food service company. I recently sold a rental property I owned for a few years doing the landlord thing and purchased a plot of land to build my next house on sometime next year when lumber prices hopefully drop some. I've been putzing away at second degree in computer programming and will graduate with that at the end of summer semester. I probably won't do anything with it but it's fun to learn and comes in handy often. After that I'll probably go for an MBA once we're done with building the house. |

Well nothing worth posting happening in my life. Just dropped $600 on new tyres for my wife's car. We're going boating for the weekend with my sister and her family next weekend. Can't honestly recall where my PB gear is. I think I saw my mask about a year ago.
While our flight numbers are way down Covid has just been like a year-long weekend without the fun places to go to. I did go collect my paperwork for my licenses for my Glock 26 and 1911. Registration and "common sense" laws like federal licensing is for the birds. |

A documentary film maker in California is working on a doc about the hidden long-term physical and mental health issues firefighters face in their careers. He's basing a portion of it on my dad, who is in the final stages of his early-onset Alzheimer's.
Because of COVID and his first kid being born, the filmmaker cannot really travel, so I've been helping out with the filming in this region. It started off just with some guys who knew my dad. It has spiraled into interviews with a woman fireman who had double breast cancer and now teaches decontamination safety at the state fire college, a guy who developed a rare pediatric brain tumor at age 40, a guy who got esophageal and nasal tumors, a guy who developed an essential tremor, and three guys who all had PTSD and depression, two of which had to go to rehab for drugs and alcohol after suicide attempts. Up until one of those last guys really pushed for it, counseling/therapy was not even covered by their health insurance. Yet somehow, despite how dark all these interviews end up being, it feels like I'm at least helping do some good. The goal is to bring attention to these issues that build up over a career of exposure to both toxins and stress, and showcase the lack of support for those whose health issues don't fit the standard assumed health issues, like lung cancers. |

Thanks! I’m stationed at Stewart but on a rotation to Korea now. Sucks to be away from home, but at least I’m in a country that has a handle on the ‘rona. The country actually started implementing prevention measures when they got to 500 cases per day.

Ayyy congrats! You work at Hunter right? Or did I imagine that? I got my new car at Critz, which is on that street just on the other side of an entrance to the base. When I was driving to get it I had a thought of "I know someone from the forum works at Hunter or Stewart and I'm not sure who it is or which base."
