Quake3World

3 months after the event our new tiles are down, place has been cleaned. All that dust
Anyway, moving back and in the next days life should return to something like normal.... Then Christmas, the tree, lights and cards are the next challenge



We were lucky to score a very close match on the tiles, not perfect but that close you wouldn't notice the difference as they are maybe 2mm (is that a 10th of an inch?) larger.

I had to ask Google, where is Punta Cana?

Looks idyllic and I am sure you'll enjoy YourGrandpa

Glad you didn't get killed Whiskey
A tenth of an inch is about 2.5mm

Just got back from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and thought I'd share a few pics.

Flying in.

The airport. All arriving and departing flights, enter and exit the plane form the tarmac.

Thanks for the pics YourGrandpa
I did say looks idyllic, guess I was spot on.

The resort, government buildings and monument areas were well kept. Other areas, not so much.

lol, that beach. Any resort that doesn’t rake the seaweed early every morning is subpar and cheap.

And making a comment about boarding on the tarmac. You can tell Gramps hasn’t done much traveling. It’s ok, his redneck should stay in Florida...

Is it just me or is Gramps saturating his photos way too much?

Pretty sure it's just you trying too hard to be edgy.

Punta Cana looks like Galveston with all that seaweed... :olo: ...

The ocean was particularly rough for several days, which typically causes an excess of seaweed. But I'm pretty sure the water and sand in Galveston looks/is nothing like Punta Cana.

It's a nice cheap getaway, I think tortuga bay is probably the nicest spot you could travel to in the dominican republic. That said, any beach in DR probably beats Texas beaches.

florida beaches are nicer...just stay there next time...

Living in Florida, I can tell you the beaches are pretty nice. But the water and sand in Punta Cana were nicer.

I'd love to see a floridian come to the beaches where I'm from. The water is so fucking cold here, even in the dead of summer.

I can't imagine why a Floridian would go to the beach in Canada. But stranger things have happened.

Canada has beaches?

Nope. The country with the most coastline in the world has no beaches. Amazing eh?

A Brit talking about beaches lul

a Canadian talking about beaches right after another Canadian has admitted that Canada has no beaches lel

A Brit talking about Canadian beaches doesn't realize the other Canadian trolled him hard lyl

Just to be clear, Canada has some pretty great beaches. Even the one I'm talking about that's cold is an awesome beach but the water there is in a bay that doesn't have a high variance of temperature from winter to summer. It acts like the AC unit for an entire city during the summer and keeps it from getting too cold in the winter. Other areas not connected to the bay have warmer waters. When I went to the beaches on long island the thing that struck me as different weren't the quality of the beach but rather how many people were there vs beaches at home.

Did a nice 200+ mile round trip ride Sunday with 13 other bike. I don't think you could get better riding weather. Clear sunny skies and 68 degrees.

A little video shot by a passenger on another bike. We were having some fun with a group of sports bikes.

You're all fat lol

I just built a X299 rig with a GTX 2080 TI and a i9 processer gaming unlocked series. and 32gig of ram running at 3600mhz. I will post some pics when I complete the build. Right now I am overclocking.
