that was it!
i forgot the name.
i had the demo. it expired. tried a crack. it jumps me back to the menu at random intervals during a race, dont want to deal with the CRAP exchange rate thats been forced on to it. (US$40 normally $58 or $68 AUD for some STUPID reason....)
but yes.... from what i tried with rfactor... it was good too

dad and i are in the process of building up a decent simulator computer

I enjoy playing poker...be it online for coins or with the Autralian poker League at a club, or at a mates place for cash. Its great fun.
Also dont mind going for the occasional hack around a golf course, and heading to a footy game whenever i'm not at work.

i'm actually not a big fan of playing cash games at the casino believe it or not.
It can become very expensive very quick and you could lose your 200 dollar buy in in one hand. Thats no fun

The tournament are different though...i think the Canberra casino down here have tournaments with a 110 dollar buy in fairly often...might have to go dump some money into a few of those
Daniel180
Jul 2 2008, 12:52 AM
yeah it sucks when you go to a table with $50 and some player have 300 - 400 dollars, but the comps are like $145 buy in and its all even so thats good

Well, i got a big one. A big project I mean.
Im 75% done on the new paint job
New fans and lights to be fitted. (I bodgeied and fitted the switches myself, but I need a sparky to fit the new wall lights and funky fans)
Hardwood timber floor panels arrive on tuesday for the loungeroom, kitchen, hall, bedrooms.
Finished bathroom
Finished Laundry
Finished grow room garage
then I might do some outdoor decking.
DOes anyone have excperience hangning a 50" plasma on a plaster wall. I was gonna mount the bracket to the wall studs but, for the life of me, something seems not right about doing it this way.
The exterior is white colorbond, but its a little faded in some areas. Can this stuff be sprayed? Would love to give it a nice new coat of white.
Droopz
Jul 2 2008, 10:44 AM
You'll have to hang the plasma off a stud man. No way would I trust the plaster sheet to hold it.
As for spraying exterior colourbond sure. I'm not sure if/how your supposed to prep it but we just masked the house up and used an airless spray gun. whole house painted in less than a day.

A current project of mine is building the house extensions I designed...so far the verandah steel work is up, footings for the balcony happening tomorrow, then I'll see if up for the challenge of building a 'twisted' roof for my carport.
