Sometimes you just have to say screw DDO

[Disavowed]

The Beergirl & I woke up this morning on day 2 of a 4 day weekend looking at each other going what do you want to do today after we lift & run. The normal reply is let's go online & geek out. After working out we look at the lake, and the water is glass. Now we're like, what a perfect day. Do we really want to waste it geeking out? We could put the big boat out on the water and hang out on a beach, or put the bass boat out and go fishing. The verdict. Screw DDO let's get the dog & go fishing. The results? A perfect day on the water. Other than I lost every bass I hooked into so I got skunked.

We get back home and debate. Order a pizza so we can geek out or grill some Mahi Mahi and watch the sunset. Fish tacos win out and we get to watch one of the most perfect sunsets over the water in I don't know how long.

So the moral of the story. For those of us who have been geeking out non stop. Step away from the mouse and keyboard and find something to break out of the rut. What a great day! I would have missed it all if I typed in my PW and logged on. I love my DDO, but I'm so glad I didn't log on. Even if I got skunked fishing I still had fish tacos. It was a very pleasant break from the grind. For the folks who are in a DDO rut and grind like we've been in. Step away for a bit you'll be happy you did.

meh.

nothing out there for me lol.
I don't enjoy sunsets/fishing those kinds of things.

besides what if you had picked up [insert whatever item you wanted since forever.]
wouldn't be saying it then I bet

I broke my distal fibula back on May 6th while hiking Tempe Butte (A Mountain). No more going outside without a big plastic boot for 3-4 months. Dosent matter anyway, it will be 115* outside in about 4 weeks. Hiking the desert is the only real fun I have outside, especially now that I can easily visit some of the mountains south of Anthem. I used to love hiking South Mountain, but now thats like an hour away, lol.

Good work! Gaming is a hobby, not a life*.

Grats glad you could get out and enjoy things that you like....that being said...if something interesting is going on; ya I'll bypass my geek fix but that "perfect day" is my idea of hell TTFN

mahimahi is yum and hell yeah would rather go fishing on a perfect day than play ddo.

have you ever caught mahimahi? they fight well for their size and leap a lot, very beautiful fish.

[Disavow]

LOL Eric, I think you took the good route considering what happened with the Khyber Hamster Rage-quitting for some part of Saturday. At least you and Beergirl did something constructive, my guild mates and I made level 1 toons on Argo and made a guild called Khyberian Rejects, played for about an hour, guild level 6 ^,^ bored out of our minds.

Today I suited up and attended my fete. As much as I like games, I like my honors more.

We're neighbors. I live in Havasu. Sorry to hear about the fibula. Get well & get out. Yes the hot weather is just arounf the corner which is what made it so nice. It didn't break 95 today not the norm for June.. We're usually well over 100 by now.

I guess it depends on where you live. If you live in a perpetual pit-stain of a city like I do, staying inside might be the best choice you make all day.

That's on my list. The Beergirl & I were actually planning a trip to Mazatlan yesterday and I was pricing charter boats for Marlin & Mahi. We have 2 weeks off here in 10 days so we're hooking up the bass boat and doing a socal bass fishing trip on a bunch different lakes. Or it's Mazatlan for the big ocean fish and a ton of drinking by the ocean. Still haven't decided. If we don't go to Maz now we're going to go in December and do our Xmas shopping at the same time.

I wish you did that on Khyber. I rerolled Disavowed into another wiz/rog. Starting 8 dex & str is making korthos on elite tough to solo. Having to pug and it's been ugly.

[Disavowed]

More than once today bro. Kinda ****ed me off but nothing a beer didn't fix.

[Blank_Zero]

We have had a bit of rough weather in el paso the last couple days.

Winds kick up enough dust to turn the sky brown. Then the storm clouds rolled in right after.

Lots of lightning and maybe 12 minutes of hard-as-Hell desert rain, then back to muggy and over 100.

I'm enjoying the **** out of portal 2 atm, with brain breaks here and there.

Glad you had a fun day Eric.

hah! Just did the TR tango on my clr. Sorta. 20 clr is nice, clr past life is not. Used lesser hearts of wood and turned her into an 11 wiz / 9 clr. Even you wouldn't believe the people that kept asking me what kind of mindset I was in when I made that build.......

So yeah about a week ago, TR. IF you EVER TR into a caster get that amazing eternal wand of magic missile from the catacombs chain. It is stupid, level 1 potency 2 item with 50 rechargeable goes of caster level 3 MM.

Basically from levels 1-4 i only used my sp to heal myself with repair spells... and maybe blur. I like to low level melee like anyone else, this just made it unnecessary.

[Tap4black]

Hearin ya Eric!

Salmon season opens very soon and I have the vacation already scheduled! Word on the forecast is we'll even break 75 for the first time in 9 months both days this weekend
