Alright Pat... I've looked everywhere, and still can't find the giant mango you advertised in this update!  What gives?!?  Oh wait... you're telling me I read that wrong?  Oops...  &ops

It all looks good as usual, my friend.  I can't thing of anything else to say but that!   :thumbsup:  Will the little stub there eventually become another full branch of this river or is it just a drainage type of creek bed?  I suppose I should just be patient and find out... but I thought I'd ask anyway.  ;)

Hi my friend!
Hm, let see... I think that on this one is less "gray rocks or boulders" as on earliers, if I am not wrong you added the "mossy rock", I dont remebrer seeing those plants bright plants in the wather earlier also and not sure, but did you changed the trees around it?
As of the double shot I have to say again, that I like them very much and cant wait to see more! :thumbsup:

Very nice Pat.  It's all coming together rather nicely.  I especially like the stream, very peaceful and quiet....and a bit warmer :P than here.  The riverbanks in the first pic looks like it took a while to do and looks so real.... :thumbsup: 

Look forward to part deux :thumbsup:

Ive been able to handle medical calls at least, as usally those are short and sweet... I wont know any more till monday novemember 24th when I go in finally to see the GI Doc after they cancelled my appointment that I waited for from the 17th lol.... 

OK Here is the second part of today's Double Shot Thursday.... So without further ado here we goo....

Not really sure what it is you're going to do in the dark patch of water in the fork, unless the water is just deeper there. ::)  A showstopping second half I say :thumbsup:  Great double-update today Pat.  Nice work  &apls

Surprisingly enough... things continue to look good around here!  Who ever woulda thunk it, huh?  ;)

Sorry to hear that things aren't progessing as well on the health front, my friend.  I've been there before... with the uncertainty and seemingly endless consultations that wind up explaining nothing.  I sometimes think that doctors are really just guessing as much as you or I would.  But, then again, the human body is an extremely complex and complicated piece of work... so can we really blame them all that much?  I mean, honestly... what exactly is a spleen?  And what the hell does it really do?  ;)  Hang in there, Pat... they'll figure it out sooner or later!

I'm sorry to hear about the slow progress on the health front Mr Pat! I trust that things will look up for you in no time and that you'll be back on duty as soon as you can say 'update!'

Which reminds me, in the mean time, we're more than glad to see your splendid updates here! At least there is some positive note on the issue of your health, and I urge you to use the available time to continue to entertain and amaze us!

All of the best, and keep well my friend!

OK today is Friday and as I did promiss some replies today here they are in full and once again thank you all for your most wonderful support here to Waterfalls... Just a side note I am working on the replies as I go here so I do appoligze in advance as today is not so hot for me...

Lets see...what does I wants?.......How about the sky and everything underneath it? :party: :D...just kidding of course, world domination ain't my thing $%Grinno$%  I dunno, I'll have to think about it for awhile......

....oh, in case you haven't noticed yet, you only need 997 more replies to hit the 2k mark :P


Troy: Dont worry about there Troy take all the time you need... you only got a few more around 980 more post to go before the 2k mark lol......

Quote from: JBSimio on November 17, 2008, 09:05:31 PM
Another very nice video Pat!   &apls 

Response to your replies...  You're right, I definitely sit at the computer... I spend enough time on my feet in the kitchen, and that doesn't even count the very hilly walk I have to take each morning to get there!  I know exactly what you mean about long days.  This week is a fairly small group (which makes things nice and easy) but it doesn't change the fact that I'm at work for 15 hours or more each time for the next several days.  I don't think you overdid that cattails at all... in fact, if that's what you were aiming for, then it means that I've had two very good guesses in the last week!  I simply meant to say that it was the first thing that came to my mind.  Actually, I'm still trying to finish off Walnut Hills State Park east of Covington... and you're flooding (no pun intended) me with ideas.   :)

I wanted to be one of the four replies you needed to reach that magical number... but unfortunately, I couldn't watch the video on my work computer.  (Apparently I'm missing a plugin of some sort, but that's beside the point)  In fact, I'm off to watch Paul's newest video next!  :D  You were right... the rapids show up much better in the animation.  The whole river (or is it a creek?) looks extremely good.  Congratulations on hitting the millenium milestone!   :thumbsup:

See you next time,
JB

Jon: WoW 15hrs a day eeeks!!!! And I flood you with Idea's lol, I am glad you was able to watch the video finally as it does give a better view of whats happening there...  Also the cattails I was aiming for a RL situation where they do go wild and I am glad you do like it...

Quote from: bat on November 18, 2008, 10:54:45 AM
That's a great looking video there!
And congrats on over 1000 replies!!! &apls &apls

Bat: Thank you my friend!!!

Quote from: paroch on November 18, 2008, 11:16:09 AM
CONGRATS Pat on being only the third MD here at Devotions to break that magic 1,000 mark.  You put a hell of a lot into Waterfalls so it is fully deserved.

Loved the video, nice to see your river "come to life", I really enjoyed seeing it.

And WOW, what a list of supporters.  You should be proud to have had so many people drop in and say something about your work.  And I agree ALL LURKERS - PLEASE POST, even if only to say HI!

Good luck with the next 1,000 replies Pat.

Paul

Paul: Thank you Paul for being sooo very supportive here of Waterfalls and helping me get to 1K mark!!! I am glad you liked the video and I know that list is very loooooong and I couldnt believe it myself either!!!

Quote from: Simpson on November 18, 2008, 11:52:05 AM
Two fantastic pictures my friend as well, also congratulation for having 1000 posts in your super MD  &apls

Way to go Pat,  &apls looking forward to seeing you get to 2k  ;)

All right, Pat, you've lured me out of lurking :-[ in this MD.  I might have to catch up for a while, but I do plan to follow Waterfalls now.  The work that I've seen is quite impressive.  It sounds like I could really learn something from this MD.

Metarvo: Hey there Metarvo wow welcome to Waterfalls and I am sooo honored that you came in... I thank you so much and I do so hope see you back here again soon...

Hey Pat, hope you're doing OK, and hope you won't try to push yourself too hard - we're here for you whenever you want us to be! :thumbsup: The photos are looking much better as you work on the riverbanks. I think the only thing I've really learned about TPW is that the results are stunning, but getting there can be pretty tedious! But what the heck - an extra six hours in game working on a few little tiles is nothing for the SC4 devoted!  $%Grinno$% :D $%Grinno$%
