13 years ago today this journey started & what a fantastic ride it has been. A bunch of us migrated from Bert's forum after XX had become all that was talked about for days/weeks, I might even have been the first to register. Bert of coarse introduced us to PeterSt & his "new" way of playing audio. I remember early days being a guinea pig for Peter's 64 bit version as I had a 64 bit rig & he at that brief moment had not. He would email me a version which would either run or not! Eventually of coarse it was a runner & the rest is history & a shed load of coding & hard work for our host. Thank you Peter & your "workforce". Live long & prosper....

So Jack ...

You're not one of the astronauts on Space-X, right ? You sound a bit like good-bye for ever.

What I certainly do get from this is how Covid-19 is getting to our nerves. Small example from this afternoon for us :

We were driving from Arnhem to the west a bit and back, just following a nice route. Hardly doable with a 1 million bicyclists on our track (they own the small roads these days), so half way we took a short cut on that route and decided to visit family in Arnhem. Our son Paul was driving (all right, he was our friendly chauffeur) and his mood went bad. Why ?

He is now more than two months performing his (EE) graduation from home while normally this would have been at the firm hospitising him for his graduating internship. On a side note : he is the only one from his group who will manage to graduate because all others failed to arrange for this "working at home" in time and the others will continue with that in October.
And thus his mood went bad; we shouldn't visit family, of which she out of all is practising physiotherapy.

And so I changed the navigation to "back home" and there (45 minutes later than could have been) I grabbed my beer (I am lying a small part here :party:).

The moral : in the G-D 4 hour trip nothing was open for a beer.
This is killing, right ?

Jack, next time you reach Arnhem, step on it and end up 50Km or so more north for a beer. Last time we miserably failed.
