Where be all the members?

I don't come along very much these days as I am otherwise involved.
Just wondering where are all the usual bods that used to inhabit the place?

I guess the covid thing has people running around doing other stuff?

I wish everyone well at this time and please stay safe.

Lots of work.

I lurk a bit these days but not much going on at SG.

I went fishing.

Good to see you

Stay safe.

We're still here. The SG drop happened way before COVID. I blame cellphones.

I got slammed with business doubling, society interactions halving, and losing great employees recently. Wish most of them the best of luck.

Lost 5 in 2 weeks for various reasons, none covid, right as we see huge growth in sales, expansions, remodels.

Lots of fun but glad to be working.

Got slammed with a lot of things. Marriage, Navy, divorce, university, work, and finally I've gotten hired in a career (I hope) working with the VA. 9-5 style job, so fingers crossed I can, you know, actually come back around and hang out with you all again.

VA.. Sounds great, benefits and all. Divorce must've been a pain. Either that or I am too sentimental.

Yeah, rotary phones were so much fun, if they come up with a rotary cell phone I'm buying some for my kids for sure! Or at least flip-phones, please!

Looking forward to the VA job very much. Going through the background stuff now before the first duty day. Going to be handling the pay issues for the docs, nurses, and admin staff in VA hospitals - I rather like this as it lets them have more time to worry about other veterans and less time having to worry about their own bills and such.

Divorce was what it was. We're both better off for it; can't ask for a better outcome from a crappy situation than that, right?

Good attitude, things looking up, sounds great Paft, I am glad!

True... but did you get those "pictures" I sent you a few months back? They were pictures from the back side of me!

Rivas · Post by **Rivas** » Tue Dec 22, 2020 4:08 am

Here and there ....not involved with any social media activities or gaming, different forum, icq or skype, telegram or whatever etc etc
Most of the time working/being involved with a group called "Scan the world", moved from desktop to industrial 3D printing unfortunately since the pandemic started I move a lot in BC and focusing mainly on native art, 3D mapping of ocean, and akes floors, parcels, mountains (3D survey and mapping) it is quite interesting.

I miss the golden years of SG but it is what it is.

Post by **Philip** » Tue Dec 22, 2020 10:56 am

Rivas, mapping lake/ocean floors sounds really interesting.

At one point in time last century/millennia, I was a part of an underwater archeologic expedition/operation as a scuba diver. We had to do a magnetic map of the seafloor of a bay, and we used some towable sonars/magnetometer and x286? PCs to crunch numbers overnight, it was really cool technology, we could figure out the location of ceramics and stuff under the seafloor before excavating.
