Looks kinda quiet here. Anyone still checking in?
I turned 80 on last Nov 28 and to be honest, I'm feeling it. I have the new flight sim but I'm not using it much. I have the newest versions of 3 train sims and not using those much either. My ex-wife keeps me active with travel & stuff, or I would become a hibernating slug. I'm content most of the time to wrap up in a blanket in the recliner and read.
I hope all you "survivors" are all doing well. Keep smiling!

I check in every single day. I have not played flightsim for quite a few years. I had a big system built up over years with dozens of planes, real weather, the best scenery I could find for the entire world, everything I could find to make it more realistic. I could go on and on. Then one evil day my hard drive crashed and it was all gone. I had much of it archived on CDs but I did not have the heart to start again. I still enjoy reading our other old regular's postings and I post the odd thing myself, but The Old Hangar will be in my favourites list until either it goes or I do.

Ditto Nige, Tom.  Every morning, religiously, as I have my first cup of the day. Congratulations for getting to the Big Eight-Zero, Tom. Good to read that you are still enjoying life and are content with what you do. Like both of you, I haven't rotated off a virtual runway for some considerable time. I still have Flight Sim installed....it's all there, exactly as I left it some years ago. I never bought the new one; I was going to but I think my interest had waned by the time I thought about doing so. Train-sims still attract me but not as much as they used to. I spend a lot of time reading, playing my keyboard (music, not computer), playing my other keyboard (computer, not music) as I research stuff and wander through some forums, community radio sessions twice a week and walking. Spending time in hospital was a big exclamation mark for me and I think I'm more relaxed since then, which is good. I certainly feel better than I have for a long time. Take care, blokes, and keep checking in. It's nice to see a post from the old denizens of the hangar. |

Well....it's been a while since I've checked in, however, still think about everyone quite often. Since retirement a year ago, I've been busier now than ever..... I guess that's how it's suppose to be. (smile)
I do some flying occasionally, but spend most of my computer time farming anymore. (smile) I recently uninstalled Railroad Sim etc., but picked up Trainz 22. Years ago I had an older version of trainz and seemed to like it, so I decided to give the newer verison a go. I had forgotten how much fun Trainz could be.
Take care everyone....I promise to check in more frequently.
Cheers,

Well....it's been a while since I've checked in, ...., Definitely! I thought you'd checked out, Steve! Good to see that you're still around and enjoying life and, yes, you are supposed to be busy in retirement, mate. |

If my experience is anything to go by, retirement is the best time of life!

I'll second that, Nige, with one slight negative: your sex life is nothing like it was when you were 30!! |

T-shirts can be great. I once saw a barman wearing one that said 'the liver is evil and must be punished'.

I saw one recently here on a middle-aged woman... "I'M A VIRGIN" and then in brackets underneath in smaller type "(This is an old T-shirt)".
