Congrats! :cheers: Same here, I scored a PS5 using the Walmart early access. That was $12.95 well spent for the Walmart+ membership. It will be delivered by December 17.

If you already haven't found it, there is a different way of signing out/leaving of a Party Chat than with the PS4. What I see new PS5 users do is mistakenly quitting the Party Chat, then you need to rejoin it again. IIRC, look for the leave function and don't exit it entirely.

Was able to get a PS5 today through Walmart early access order. Access started at noon and I was checked out by 12:09. I actually could have gotten two since I tried on two browsers and was accepted on both. Now I'm ready for March!

Tomorrows 'challenging' Geezer Buffet suggestion,, I don't think we've ever attempted this BUT, a suggestion I would like to "TRY"

Nordschleife 24 hr track, 3 laps Mercedes SLR McLaren on SS - OR - RH tires
Mercedes-Benz_SLR_McLaren_.jpg

We met this car in GT4 "Driving Missions' (courtesy of https://gran-turismo.fandom.com/wiki/GT4_Driving_Missions)

The final mission of Driving Missions section of the game - Mission 34. This mission is extremely difficult as you try to close a gap of 123 seconds between you (in a Mercedes SLR McLaren) and the lead car (the Mercedes 300SL), and that, even in a track like the Nordschleife, is a huge gap. To make matters worse, the SLR in this mission has average handling. The best tip here is to learn this track a lot. When you're confident enough that you think you might be able to beat this mission, go for it

Re; tomorrows Geezer races, I am assuming since Luiz is on bed rest he may not want to host - Claude, would you do them for us? If he's not going to be with us I will host them. Cory still has the Sunday races.

Ok fellas, it is 0510, we're experiencing somewhat high winds in our area, power has been knocked out twice in the last 1/2 hour. It's obviously back on now and I am going to attempt opening a Geers lobby as well as a chat. "IF" at any time this am I get 'das boot',, the power got knocked out again and sinc the reset relays for our grid have already reset twice it my be some time before the power guys can get our area back on line. Last time we were in black out for 4 hours. Anyway, we're OK now so here we go.
 
Watched my favorite movie from 1969 Charles Bronson in Once Upon a Time in the West last night.
Movie starts with 3 gunmen waiting for Bronson at a desert train station. Jack Elam (one of the gunmen) is having a battle of wits with a housefly. After 2 1/2 minutes Elam wins. The train arrives. Minutes later it pulls away with Bronson on appearing on the other side of the train, playing a harmonica, as the train pulls away. The four then face each other...

Bronson - Where's Frank?
Jack Elam - He sent us.
Bronson - Where's my horse? (3 horses in the scene behind the gunmen)
Elam - Well, looks like we're shy one horse.
Gunmen all laugh.
Bronson shakes head no and says "No you're two too many."

Poor planning.

"No plan of operation extends with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the main enemy forces." Helmut von Moltke, 1871

The opening scene of OUATITW is an homage to the whole "High Noon" movie. They thought about those things back then, not so much today. All they do is remake movie classics. Recently, we watched three versions of "The Big Sleep". Humphrey Bogart's original, with its classic bookstore scene; Robert Mitchum's done in England (its Joan Collins bookstore scene sucks); and Burt Reynolds' "Shamus, with its own "healthy" interpretation of the bookstore scene. Burt must have had a fun time with Dyan Cannon, too. She always laughs.

The latest remake is "Westside Story". Why?

Apparently 'creativity' is a thing of the past. Since Lucas,, who among the lot of them has one ounce of creativity. Remakes,, it's all this current batch of Hollywood wanna be's can muster.
 

A couple is walking in St. Petersburg Square on Christmas Eve​


They feel a slight precipitation.
"I think it’s raining," says the man.
"No, it’s snowing," replies the woman.
"How about we ask this Communist officer here?
He is always right!" exclaims the man.

"Officer Rudolph, is it raining or snowing?"
"Definitely raining," Officer Rudolph replies before walking off.

The man turns to his wife with a smile.
“See? Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear.”
