• 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.

    Self driving autos in FL!

    Hi Bob, Re: Narcolepsy has an odd way of curing itself... It usually involves a solid impact with a bridge upright, or a tree! Back in '68, I did hit a bridge; didn't cure it. Any other suggestions that might work? Jerry Baumchen

    CONGRATS - To the USA WOMEN's Soccer Team

    Hi Grandpot, Re: However, those that kneel during the National Anthem are disrespecting the thousands of men and women that died to give us the right to protest. Not on my book. It is called Freedom of Expression; something about the First Amendment and all that. And...

    Baby names now and in year 1200

    Hi Bob, Re: If you despise it: there's nothing keeping you from changing it... You are correct; except there is so much paperwork, pensions, etc in the original name. I should have done it back when I was a teenager; C'est la vie. Jerry Baumchen

    Preppers

    Hi Bob, Re: For home defense: go with a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun! For a one-on-one situation, I absolutely agree. However, should you have the only food in your neighborhood, it might just be 5+ on you for that food. And they might just be better armed...

    Hi gkamer, Re: Mandatory motorcycle insurance in Washington This is interesting: 'requires anyone who drives a motor vehicle or a motorcycle (effective July 28, 2019) in our state to do one of the following' It would seem as though anyone from out of state who does not...

    Hi Rogue, Re: His only income was SS and the government took it back. I also learned that one; the hard way. SS is a system that pays you early in the month for that month rather than later in the month for that month. They put my mother's last SS payment into her bank...
