World of Warships... continued

 Just a general update.  

I managed to save up enough coal to get the Forrest Sherman, I've reached tier X in multiple lines, etc.

Next I plan on trying CVs and Subs.

In the meantime, maybe I imagine things but... I love my Italian ships.  I've heard people badmouth the Roma but oh MAN I love that ship.  It is quick, nimble and if you maneuver close enough and manage a broadside?  BOOM that AP hits HARD.  I've one-shot'd cruisers, DDs, even multi-citadel'd BBs with it.  Sweet.  I also started playing destroyer lines and have picked up to Tier VIII in Italian line and am having fun with that as well.

MEANWHILE.

I have a puppy.  I got her at 8 weeks but she is 14 weeks now, a standard Schnauzer.  She is crazy, stubborn, mouthy but... she is sweet and fun.  She drives me nuts at times, but once she gets past her puppy months she will be my best buddy.

And that is it!  Cheers!

Geode Caching and Windows 7

We geo-cached today. We broke a personal record and found a series of 30 caches over 4 hours. It was a blast! Isaac came up with his own joke: What do you get when you cross a rock with geo-caching? Geode-caching (hence the title). Pretty funny!

We also went to the carnival that was in town. Sandi, Isaac and Anabelle drove, I decided to walk Cookie (one of our dogs) to the carnival. We got there and at first she was just a little anxious. Over time she grew more and more anxious until a booth where you threw darts at balloons just pushed her over the edge and the poor thing was terrified. I took her away from the carnival and waited for Sandi and the kids to finish up.

Other than that the only thing left to announce is that I am legal now with Windows 7. My official copy of Win 7 Ultimate arrived today and I've installed it. It was a bit of a pain since there was no upgrade path from beta to final, but that's alright, sort of starting with a clean system and I saved off a lot of my data ahead of time - using the transfer took and some manual backups. I kind of miss the little beta message at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen.
