It's into the 20s. Mind you, the longest thread in CBT history (IIRC), was our 400-pager: The Thread to End All Threads; the UberThread; the Thready Embodiment of the Might of the Fatherland; The Threadlord; the Take 'em Out to the Thread and Beat 'em Thread; Threadhalla, the Pinnacle to Which All Lesser Threads Aspire; Threadri-La; if it were an elected official, it would be Threasident; Threadosaurus Rex; Threaximus Decimus Meridius. Yeah.

Speaking of, I'm down to 6:40 for my normal mile time, and my usual run is now three miles at 6:40 and one at 5:59.
Damn you speedsters, I'm taking an hour and a half to grind through seven miles.

I'm a lot slower on long runs. I think on a ten-mile run my time was something like 9-10 minutes a mile, wholly unencumbered aside from my camelback.

I barely clear 8 minutes on short (3 mile runs) and I don't remember my half mile time but it ain't good.  I guess being consistently slow is worth something.

Edward's nude-except-for-a-camelback runs through downtown Chicago are quite the talk of the town these days, I hear.

CBT.com seems to be pretty much all that I have left from Battletech now.

How are folks doing?

Take comfort in the fact that last year's back injury has cost me all my fitness. I've crashed down from sub six minute miles 18 months ago to barely being able to finish my two-mile route.... and needing  to lie down for ten minutes afterwards.  #P

Doing okay, I suppose.  I lost all of my BT books to a flood.  And a bunch more stuff, but the BT book loss has me back on cbt.com in some sort of looking for...I dunno really.

All my SBs and novels are gone.  So I came to the AFFS thread.  Part of the recovery, maybe?

QT: anything in particular you really miss?  PM me and if I have it it's yours.

MDM: that joke passed clear through terrible and emerged on the opposite side of awesome.  Rather like with Tupac.

So say you had funded a resculpt of the greatest 'mech of all time: the unseen Thunderbolt. (Don't quibble.) And say nefarious forces beyond your control made it seem very likely your beautiful dream would never come to fruition. What similarly complex heavy or assault 'mech would you fund? No Clan.

You're not me, but I would take my money and go home.  That's right, I'm not really a good person deep down.

Can't think of any 'mechs I really want done, but the Zugvogel(usable by everyone) needs sculpting.

I assume you probably don't want to fund even a very cool-looking Industrialmech, or I'd nominate the Kiso or Diomede.

What about the Fennec? If any funding is left over, that could go towards the Pandion, both very interesting AFFS units.
