[QUOTE="Tony, post: 178803, member: 1"] Y'all it has been crazy around here. The last couple of weeks has been challenging. To start out with, I still have large projects that I need to complete, including the new helicopter build, trust me, I have not forgot about that. Just have not had any time to do anything with it. I promise when I start the helicopter build, it will be on video somewhere, not sure where yet. I also have another project that I think you all will like and again, there will be video of the build. This second one is a long term project that the wife and I are working on so once it gets kicked off, there should be a lot of updates on it. So the wife was offered a new, higher position at her work, and she accepted this position. I ended up getting a raise, pretty significant raise just for showing up to work lol and a week later, I was also accepted for a promotion to a different division which came with it's own pay raise. For the wife and I both, increase in pay comes with increase in the work you have to do and both of us have been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. So this weekend for me (Friday and Saturday) are all about getting things caught up. I have not done a water change on the saltwater tank in 3 weeks and that is a must do tomorrow (er, today lol). So I will be doing a 20% water change on that tank and just general cleaning. I'm not sure if I posted this here or not, but on my sim rig (sim racing) I run a 3900x and I had my 2070 super on it.
