Love you all!  Work around the house is winding down just in time, the rainy season has hit - we didn't quite get all the moss scraped off the roof, but at least we got all the gutters and downspouts cleared.  My legs and back are killing me, and usually it's just my arms - so with them on top of it all, I've been having some very rough mornings for a few weeks.  At least I've not had any headaches to deal with, I get those from my neck muscles, not your typical headache or migraine but like a big general thing that kinda reduces when I lay my head down (whether sleeping or not).

I got all my old gear dusted off, including my X52 HOTAS, looking forward to setting up HELIOS (instead of YAME64) to get some BMS gauges onto my little touchscreen and just generally get myself set back up for Falcon BMS.  When I get back into it, gonna take it easy - just one or two flights in a session, then get up and take a break.  So worried I'll fuck my neck or arms, but I'm very antsy to get back into it regardless.

At nights, I've been spending some time here and there learning Stationeers in an "easy" mode singleplayer world on Mars.  Had to start over twice, but third time I figured it out (pausing ANYTIME I was just thinking, checking the wiki, as well as when AFK).  My goal is to learn the basics enough so that I'm not as helpless and useless as the last time I hopped onto our last multiplayer Stationeers world on Europa.

This has truly been the Year of Hell, and I'm glad it's nearly over.  Hoping to get back into a routine of casual multiplayer gaming with you all once again, and to stop hiding from the world to deal with my shit.
