Post by: TX-Gunslinger on April 21, 2010, 09:11:50 pm
From 18 to 28 May, 2009 - Jane and I are going on a non-work related trip.

Let's see, cause I can't just blurt this out - here's some hints... (I'm really, really jazzed to be going here,)

I'll be close to relatives,

I could see some of my simmer friends (although no TX),

I'll see airplanes (oh my god),

I'll see cars (same as airplanes),

I'll see castles,

I'll see rivers,

Where am I going?

S!

Well, you guys are cold - however - Gozr's getting colder while Chukars experiencing about 1 degree warmer :)

Have you had enough, yet - want me to tell?

Chukar, what's your favorite Il2 aircraft?  You only have 1 to pick :)

TB!!!!! - Your getting warm - in fact we now only have to fly across the map that Oleg is making - headed EAST :)

Then past Flanders - through the Homeland of Gozr - just past Alasace-Lorraine.....

Oh... I can't take it anymore...

They used to build Zen's, Rah's, TOAD's, Eco's, King's, Chukar's, Hunde's, Robban's most favorite Il2 aircraft here!
More specifiicaly, the exact town I'll be staying at was the attack point of the mission in which the largest loss of B-17's ever occured...

and.... I'm going to get to see, original ROF aircraft in their homeland :)

But most importantly, I'm going to get to see one of the most important and dearest people in my entire life...  that I have not gotten to see in a very long time..

You guys have to get this right on the next post... I know you will...

S!

Heh - heh -

And it's Gozr for the win!  All ur bases belong to Gozr.....


Werneck, Bavaria!  Got some museams to see!  I'm sure we'll get to Munich - but the only issue is my that my Daughter will be 7 months pregnant when we get there, so traveling will be a little constrained.  When we were going to take this trip back in December - we were going to go up to Berlin by train - but we'll probably miss that....

Anyway, a TX'er in Germany.  I'll take a buttload of pics....

S!

Your going to visit Deutschland, the Fatherland, the maker of the BF109, very nice.  I thought jazz was a hidden clue.

Zum den Fatterland. Veil gluck und gruss gott. Wahn gehst du?

Post by: TX-Gunslinger on April 22, 2010, 09:29:48 pm
Heh - that came out of Babelfish as "To the Fatterland. Veil gluck and greeting God. You go to illusion?"
Maybe I should try the Google translater, because quite frankly - that looks like a lot of the Russian translation stuff to English...
In short, King - it's like you recorded your voice on a file - and on playback you sound like Lefty!

Toad - I forgot about your "time sync" with the rest of the non-Vampiran world :)  You would have gotten it earlier.....

Sorry,

I'll have to make up with some 109 stuff ......  That would have been your favorite Il2 plane now, wouldn't it ?

Honestly the Dora is a preferred ride.

But as you well know I do the best I can with what I'm dealt, So on any given day, yes the 109 jut might be my favorite.

Since my favorite has always been the one I'm in at the moment.

A true Plane whore.  ;D

H-E-Y CUDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great to see you.

Sure, I'll take any suggestions I can get, I know we are going to Munich for a day or two.  My daughter lives in Werneck, so anything a day away (thought I was going to go to Berlin, but it's too far to take her as pregnant as she is.

Thanks, Man and great to see you back around - lot of stuff goin on as I sure you see ...

S!
