Techmod decals from my first time using them, are s***! Good thing I had the Mircoscale stuff or they would have been toast!

Yep. They are hit or miss. Old ones were the worst but the new ones are better I believe. I used some a few builds ago and they were ok. Hoping my Russian stars behave as I have two aircraft to use them on

Be careful with those Russian stars, they may have a smoking accident.

Leave a fire extinguisher nearby. Just in case.

Russian stuff tend to go up in flames lately.

I am trying to download the files pb43 has sent me and the nightmare bloody network is working like the old 56k modem I had nearly 30 years ago. That's what happens when you have a @#$%^&* monopoly

I am in the same boat here in FL. Worst internet hook up, reminds me of dial up days back in the '90s and the AOL 40s chat rooms with "hot tubs". Can't beat this crap with a short stick!

That's what happens when everything is online. The demand for data is growing exponentially, and with everything being "smart" these days. I mean, who needs a f-ing smart blender?

Had that happen to me as well. Try this. Open a folder and click on the three dots (1). Click on View (2) and make sure "Always show icons, never thumbnails" is unchecked (3). There other options as well

Thanks George but that did not work. I still run Win7 because about a year after Win10 came out the automatic update that you can not prevent wiped ever drive other than C on certain brands of computers. Fortunately I still had the old Win7 box alive as I was going to use it as my backup server and the Win10 box was only a few weeks old. I still lost a lot of work though. The win10 box is now the backup. My win7 box at present.

Laundry tub drain stopped up. I've been trying to snake it, but I keep hitting a tee and the snake goes the wrong way. I'm considering some diy plumbing modifications. But then I have to replace all the fittings I intend to break.

No time to work on the drain, so I poured a bottle of drain cleaner down. We'll let that simmer for a night and see if we get any action tomorrow.
