It's okay, Rusty...just admit it....you're illiterate, and your wife has to sit at the keyboard and transcribe everything you say on here.....we'll understand...."Wah, wah, wah."....lol

Heck no. She would never do that. Its my 12 year old.

I can't. I love to read, but alas, about the only hard copy I read nowdays is Shotgun News. I drive anywhere between 70-80 hours a month, and work 100 hrs a week. By the time I get to a motel, I shower, brush my teeth, post a few posts on Xcolony and sleep.

So, I multitask. I get my news from AM radio, my entertainment from audio books, and non-oilfield interaction via Xcolony.

Which one you want first, Deathlands, Outlanders or Doomsday Warrior?

Deathlands is about post apocolyptic America and a group of travelers travel about via a gateway system set up by the Cerberus project pre nuke, by a super secret government program.

Outlanders is a similiar scenario that involves a worldwide "Club of Rome" type of cabal that is pitting small baronies against each other in a giant chess game, and one man who fights against it when he finds out the truth.

Doomsday Warrior is about a group of people a hundred years or so post nuke war that are fighting against the Soviet occupation in the United Soviet States of America (USSA).

Heck. I will send book one of all of them.

Sure, I'd be willing to try it out.....might be worth disconnecting for a few hours.

LMAO @ "voices"......

Its amazing. My wifes voice falls into the "Wah Wah Wah" catagory. But the voices in my head keep me happy.


I can send you one of the CD's if you promise to send it back when you are done. I can send you book 1 of one of the series. They are usually about 8 hours per book.

I might check it out....I usually don't like to wear headphones, 'cause it makes me dead to the outside world, with the little hearing I do have left.

My loss in the ear I have left is actually limited to the frequency that vovers spoken language....it's wierd sometimes...I'll be pluggin' along, nothing wrong, and somebody will just start jabbering in a low tone and all I'll hear is "wa wah wah."

Anyhow. The site is www.graphicaudio.net

But, I too have real bad hearing loss and have found by using headphones I over come that problem. I am talking about the ones that fit over both ears and where you can adjust the volume on each side. I have 40% loss on the right and 20% loss on the left. Certain tones are completely silent to me. The pastor at the church I went to for 3 Sundays had a voice I could not hear. I had to find a new Parish. I had to explain why, and that it was nothing personal.

I looked at hearing aids, but the kind I need run around $20K per ear. OUCH.

But I do enjoy these CD's and stories. There is something about the way that they record them in their patented "Graphic Audio" style that works well for me. I can hear everything including the background noises they put on the CD.
