Aww. . . RiP.

Khajiit did not know this person, but it’s always sad when a community member is lost. RIP.

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that!

Didn't know them but sad to hear.

He went way too early and should have had at least a couple of decades left here. It came as a shock to me, I didn't know he had been ill. If I had known his time was up I would have done certain things differently while I had time.


But something tells me he knows that.

I'm not sure he knew it was coming, 'rocu. His last post was on the same day, and nothing seemed amiss.

You just never know folks.
Give your people a hug. Tell them you love them.

New Jurassic Park and Star Wars crossover movie confirmed .

At least K2-S0 doesn't have to worry about being poisoned by that dilophosaurus.

He might not get poisoned but he could get blinded .

But that would not slow down Chirrut Imwe!

But then he'd be susceptible to the venom or poison it spits .

But you forget that the force is with him. He is one with the force.

He is now...in little bitty pieces .

Cheah, for real. Death Star don’t mess around.

*edit* wait, didn’t he die from a smaller explosion?

In that case he's dust.

It's coffee time come grab your friends, we'll drink Joe from distant lands, with Cappu the cappuccino and Esso the Espresso.
Drinking coffee will never end.
It's Coffee Time.

So Tuesday night, Mrs.Treydog and I were sitting in the den reading. We were reading instead of Netflixing because there was a thunder storm rolling through and we always turn off the TV and computers during the boomers.

About 7:30, there were 3 loud "pops" and a pinkish/yellow sphere flashed near the ceiling of the room (about 5 feet away from us) and then there was a loud "boom" right over the house. The power didn't go out, so we thought we were okay (if a bit shaken). But then, we started checking things....

Central air- dead. Cable TV box- dead. Cable modem and Internet router- dead. Mrs. Treydog's computer- dead. TV set- dead. PS4- dead. My computer- flaky, but possibly recoverable.

Good news- no attic fire or fried people (2- or 4-footed). In fact, Rico (the grey and white clown kitteh) slept through the whole thing on the back of the couch in the room where the fireworks occurred.

First time in my (mumble mumble) years I have seen ball lightning, and I hope it is the last.

My old PC is working (and I am using it now) and I got a replacement router and just finished setting it up so I could tell you folks about the fun times at Casa Treydog.

Next thunderstorm, I will go around the house unplugging things....

Damn. Glad no one was hurt!

So that's why you haven't been on ESO for a while?

Glad it was just the electrics affected. I lost a chimney to a lightning strike a few years back, and of course the bill came in just under my deductible.

Treydog. . . Wow, glad you and yours are still with us!

Wow, that is really scary! I used to be in the habit of unplugging everything in lightning storms, but since I moved I've fallen out of the habit. Guess it is time to get back into that habit before I end up with a similar incident at my house! Urk! So glad you and family (2 and 4 footed) are okay!

Be careful in the storm, Treyyie!

Holy smokes Treydog, that was quite an event. Best I recall, the worst that happened to me is lightning taking out a motherboard, video card and one other component in a long-ago computer. I had it unplugged at the time. However, I didn't think to disconnect the (dial-up) modem. That's how it fried my computer. Oddly, the modem was okay. Go figure. Glad you guys are okay!

(Well, I suppose the worst storm event was a 1998 hailstorm that totaled my entire roof, two walls of vinyl siding, and my car. Like your pet, I slept through it, and that was back when my hearing was still adequate. My parents once survived a tornado that totaled their home by hiding between their bed and what turned out to be the only corner of the house that remained standing, though it too collapsed a few hours later.)

Wow, bless your parents for surviving that! Holy Cow!

** Now that you mention it, I never remember to remove the internet connection to my PC even when I religiously unplug it!

Here in ETN, I've lost roof tiles; producing apple trees; and had the neighbor's huge trampoline blow over my fence and bash my house. In this new house a year ago the neighbor's tree dropped a 35'-50' branch on our roof and deck that only really damaged the gutter where it landed. That branch may or may not have bumped our house off its foundation, I felt the jolt, but we have no way of knowing since our house is on stilts.

But it is the stormy season here right now, so Treydoggie's event may not be isolated.

WOO HOO!!!!!!

I'm with you, mALX!

Was only down for little over a day but, man, Khajiit missed you guys!

Ditto!!!







Thank you, Starge !!!!!

Many thanks to Stargelman for keeping this site going. I don't know what we would do without it . . .

I've been sick since Wednesday night - mold. Would have been better by now if it hadn't been for the HEAT WAVE we are currently undergoing - 95 degrees for three days in a row, combined with a very high allergen count (yeah, I'm allergic to lots of things, but especially blooming trees and mold) and a high ozone rating.

Had to leave work early Saturday, and had to call out yesterday and again today. The problem is, I'm sick in just those areas that require me to be at my best - hearing is shot, and I find it difficult to focus when people are talking to me. Speech reading is hard enough, but this just puts me over the edge. Ugh. I hate doing this to my teammates at work but . . .

So if you see me online in Tamriel (ESO players), bump me and say hi - I need some cheering up!

Aww, sorry to hear you're not well, Rider. I hope the weather and allergens stop conspiring against you! Here -

Thanks a ton for keeping us going, Starge!



-Here, have some

Aw, I'm so sorry you are sick, Haute!

I'll just be sitting by...

Khajiit wonders if people really are sitting around watching that. It’s mostly a blank screen and occasionally someone wanders by.

The waiting...the waiting...!

Ew, lol

What happened with the utility pole at 0:40? Was this put together from out-takes?

Leaving later today for a semiannual pilgrimage to visit Acadian Sr. I try to do that as long as he is still with us - he was born in Jan 1921 and still doing pretty well.

Will miss this place but be back in a week and enjoy catching up on what I miss.

BWAAHAA! I didn't even see that till you mentioned it! That most def should be in their "Bloopers" threads!






Wow, 1921! Almost a century! My very best wishes for a safe and wonderful visit with your Father! I sure wish I could still visit with mine; and really love that you still get to enjoy yours = hope you can for many more years to come! My heartfelt love goes out to Acadian Sr.!!!!!!

My gramma is not far behind, being a 1924


Best wishes for Acadian Sr!

Come on, E3 !!!!!!!!!!!!

And I HOPE it isn't another remaster job (AKA Skyrim) of Fallout 4, Grrrrrrr.

It’s not. It looks to be a brand new game.

Ooh, I just saw the trailer! Come on E3, I want to see gameplay and get some details!!! WOOOOOOT !!!!

I had me a cup of Joe this morning at Ihop also had it with a chicken fried steak and a bowl of cheese tomato soup.

It appears that it’s going to have some kind of multiplayer. Not sure to what extent but it definitely seems likely.
