Ah those things, pretty cool What truck are you driving now? Still doing the snow clearing during wintertime?

I am at home at the moment, but I hope to go sailing again shortly. I've been busy with studying for my master's license. On monday I have the last exam for now

Nice! And good luck

Don't have my "own" truck anymore.. So it's shifting wildly..

And no snowclearing this winter. Both a good and a bad thing, miss it a bit.

Its just SimCity btw , But, Tropico is nice too, has nice caribbean music while playing!

What about SC5? That seems quite detailed and looks quite similar to Tropico 4

There, a good way to avoid people ignoring one's posts.

On the subject of SimCity, I'm on the Antarctica server with two other mayors. We just started donating resources for the International Airport last night

There would also appear to be plenty of space left on that server for new players!

My region is going to be full, as we chose Whitewater Valley, which houses five cities, and there are three players on now and two who intend to join later.

Maybe it is if you were being ignored 10 times in a row.

Happy birthday!

Plus I don't think there was time to wash the hatch covers before departure. She was filled with coal just before departure. Plus washing the hatch covers in the winter doesn't sound like a very good idea.

So even if the covers were clean through the duration of the lay-up they would have been befouled again once loading began. Coal tends to be a bit dirty.

Hello guys! long time no see...
i have been attracted by other simulators (Virtual Sailor,Vehicle Simulator,etc.) and therefore
i'm not playing SSE that much anymore as i used to,and now because my laptop is pressured with many memory-eating simulations and games,SSE is not running well anymore,and my X-Plane 10 Simulator runs too slow.

lots and lots and lots of snow.

not a single flake of snow

30^o here. I took my dog to the lake shore. I saw American Century re-arrive, Mesabi Miner at anchor, and the USCG Alder icebreaking. The water was perfectly calm and was so clean you could see five feet down without any problem. The surface from a distance was a perfect mirror and the only interruption was the occasional ice floe and a flock of loons (or mergansers? they were far away). The shore itself was wind-blown smooth snow. It was impossible to differentiate between land and lake except for the inch-thick ice precariously piled in blade-like heaps. Icicles poured down the red cliff face to meet the heaped snow. Unidentified tracks pock-marked the snow and led to a cave at the far end of the bay. The sky was perfectly clear with strato-cumulus clouds towering over the purple hills of Wisconsin in the horizon.

I wonder how that whole "Duluth is a frozen wasteland" stereotype is playing out...
