belated request for leave of absence...

Hiya peeps 
 
Just in case you haven't noticed, I have not been around these parts for a bit. Since November I think.
 
Having been quite busy for a period, and having plenty of time because I had "retired" for a bit, I decided to give my music a break for a time. Nothing serious... I do this all the time, jumping in and out of this hobby of mine.
 
One of the reasons was I got drawn back into a MMOFPS game which, like most computer games, can be most addictive.
 
I also landed a job. So it was easier to use my reduced "spare time" to jump on that darn game than get all psyched up for a bit of decomposing.
 
And then over the Christmas break I decided to dig out another old hobby of mine... Radio controlled cars. I hadn't had my 1/10 scale nitro powered car out for well over fifteen years, and I was amazed when I managed to get it going again without much fuss.
 
Next thing I know, me and my youngest bought new 1/8 scale cars and we've been having a blast with them for the last five weeks or so.
 
Even my better half is having a go, and enjoying it, which is always a big plus...
 
So, like last time, I may be absent from this forum from time to time, but I count music as my one big main hobby and I will always return to it.
 
In the meantime, here's a vid taken at one of our most recent "bashing" sessions:-

I may well be doing some simple background music stuff for more vids in the future, giving me a chance to combine my music along with playing with my car and creating the vids 
 
cheers for now, and apologies for not popping in sooner.......

GREAT BIG KID!

haha! yeah... you've got that bang on James 

Hi,
 
If he was gone, we didn't notice?
 
We're definitely getting old ... can't blame Sonar for that!

Wow, Liverpool really put a hurt on Aston Villa!  6-0?  Damn...

Aston Villa needs to do a lot more than they are to get 30 points!  Heck, they're barely half-way there now.
 
Bolton?  They're not even in the EPL, they're in last of the Championship league (hello League 1!).  I'm looking forward to watching Middlesbrough next year, they looked good last year and barely missed being promoted.  I can't believe how bad the Queen's Park Rangers have been after barely being relegated from the EPL last season.  Oh well.

...

Bolton got relegated a year or two ago ... and Fulham the year before last, after they messed up with Clint Dempsey and lost control of the rest of the players ... that manager really screwed up a good team. Bolton was doing better, but the minute they sold Tim Ream to Fulham, they dropped to the bottom ... again ... seems to me like bad management that just is not interested in the team anymore.
 
AV, will need some luck. Sunderland, some luck. Of course, we're still waiting for that team from the really low leagues ... the Coffee House Sonarists ... to get into the lowest levels so we can start cheering more in this game!

I'm sorry if it is not cool to laugh, but you have to realize what I expected.

Hiya Jesse,
 
Yeah, it's very cool to laugh... Most stuff I do is for the fun of it, even my music 
 
cheers

(oh... are Liverpool playing Man City today? Chance of some silverware perhaps?)
