• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    The last couple of days were spent with friends in Seattle. It was mostly overcast and partly sunny. The days were in the low 70°s and nights were in the high 50°s. No rain in the area since last Friday. Today I traveled to Sequim, WA. Very pleasant top-down drive with temperatures in the...

    Where are you from? Where do you live?

    From Seattle, WA and retired to Eastern Mesa, AZ 21 years ago. I can be out of the metropolitan area in 10 minutes and ride forever on uncrowded mountain and high desert roads. Riding season is about 8 months long with the summer being too hot. Summer road trips from AZ back to the N.W. are...

    Just had an Internet learning experience!

    I went into the phone store on Monday to get clarification on what I have and the potential for extra costs. Most plans have unlimited data... BUT the amount of high speed data is a fixed amount. When that is used up, then all you get is slow speed data until your monthly plan renews. Except in...

    Just had an Internet learning experience!

    Not unlimited. I start each month with 10 GBs. Been monitoring my usage and it is very minimal. But so is my computer time.

    Just had an Internet learning experience!

    I learned something new from a friend yesterday about internet access. I'm in a motel with very poor wi-fi and it is usually non-existent in the evenings when the place is full. I now know that I can use my phone as an internet hot spot and get good service. Sometimes us old dogs really can...

    Spyderless, but not gone!

    Good luck with a Slingshot. I hope it works well for you. I tried one as well as a Miata. I'm just too big (fat) to fit and be comfortable. Had a real problem getting out of the Slingshot and couldn't even get in a Miata. My old blue pony fits like a glove. Happy I made the switch. Left...

    Lake Stevens to Leavenworth and back today.

    That's a great loop ride! The weather we're having here in Western Washington now is something we don't want broadcast!!!!! I've been in the Mount Vernon-Anacortes area for the last 6 weeks. The desert heat is not missed..... Had lunch on the deck at Roche a few weeks ago. In recent years...

    Random thought for the day

    A few months ago, while surfing around the web, I stumbled upon a site that sold humanoid robots that were both physically and functioning in all respects. Some features could be changed to provide different appearances. Using A.I., they could respond and interact with voice commands. Got me...

    Currently in Mount Vernon, WA: 64 degrees, 4 MPH breeze, Humidity of 70% and no clouds in sight. The high today will be a very pleasant 75. This morning I'll wipe down Old Blue Pony to remove all the remnants of Wednesday's rain. Then it's off for some top-down sight seeing. Stay safe..... Jim

    HELP: U-Haul Enclosed 6’x12’ - Anyone tried one? Any tips or tricks?

    A U-Haul 6X12 enclosed trailer is not suitable for hauling your bike. Many years ago, I rented one and loaded my Goldwing in. I thought it was going to fall through the floor just sitting there in the parking lot! Looking underneath the trailer, I saw the floor is reinforced with very small...

    My Spyder is causing family trouble...

    Similar... but different... I have been a boater most of my life. Several years ago, I bought a Kayak to carry on my cruiser. Found out it wasn't for me. I gave the Kayak to my brother-in-law, who had a beach cabin. He had 4 kids... and 1 Kayak! Later, he told me that it was the most expensive...

    My MPG skyrocketed in ECO Mode - is ECO Mode really that much better?

    Given the same ride, your Spyder still uses exactly the same energy (fuel) regardless of which mode you are in. Changing from ECO to Normal or even Sport only allows you to change your riding style/habits and the sensitivity of your bike. The different modes do not add or subtract horsepower...

    Several years ago a buddy and I toured Florida and Arizona looking for places to retire. (He chose FL and I chose AZ). Key lime pie was at the top of our list when in Key West. Been one of my favorites ever since..... This morning in Anacortes it is cloudy, 63 degrees, breeze of 10 MPH, and...
