• 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.

    FedEx is the worst!!!

    Still no snowblower. FedEx says that it's delayed at the local depot again, same place at last time. Says that it's coming today but it's not showing as being loaded on the truck for delivery, so it ain't coming today. The weather will be better tomorrow for a snowblower delivery, above...

    FedEx is the worst!!!

    That 'too cold to snow' was just wishful thinking on my part. I've lived in northern Illinois long enough to see it first-hand. If the blower is delivered in the next few days, in ONE piece and no holes in the box, I'll be happy enough. At the FedEx site where they ask if there are any...

    FedEx is the worst!!!

    Surprise! No FedEx delivery yesterday, the truck went by the house but didn't stop... Website says delivery is delayed because of weather and they'll let me know once a new delivery date is picked at random. Ok, I added that last part. The blower made it to Chicago at least. I can live with...

    FedEx is the worst!!!

    Since I'm a glutton for punishment and I really want the model snowblower that I selected from Lowes, I ordered the same one from Lowes again. I know, I know, I'm asking for it. Surely FedEx can't mess up two orders twice in a row, right? Right? :ROFLMAO: Stay tuned... Yes, I know that I...

    FedEx is the worst!!!

    Nearly every time we have something delivered by FedEx, there's an issue. UPS has no problems delivering to us, but FedEx certainly does. I needed a new snowblower. My 25-year-old machine finally gave up the ghost. Drove into town to buy one. Lowes, Menards, and Farm & Fleet were completely out...

    Speak for yourself, I find it adds to the challenge of the course! :ROFLMAO:

    How many of your Spouse's ride their own machines?

    How many of your Spouse's ride their own machines? I only have the one spouse and she's a perpetual passenger. ;)

    And who's going to protect our minds from Newsmax?

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    That's what I was thinking of doing with my new Fobo's. Installing them to make sure they work properly, then removing the batteries for storage.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Not according to Fobo. They state that the transmitters broadcast continuously. 24/7. According to them, this is why you can have your Spyder in the garage, not moving or not having moved for a while, and pull up the ap and see your tire pressures and temps. FOBO TPMS sensors transmit...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Thanks, that's what I was thinking too. But I wanted to make sure that they work, with my luck, they'd be DOA and I'd miss the return period and have to mess around with warranty replacement. It's a conundrum and my laziness will probably make my decision easier since I'd have to move my...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I just now ordered, finally, a set of Fobo TPMS for my F3. Amazon has em for the lowest price that I've seen so far, $112.60 for the set of three. I have my Spyder put away for the winter, debating on uncovering it to install the sensors and testing or waiting till Spring. I don't think that I...

    Northern Lights in Northern Illinois.

    We've been there a number of times, very nice. We like camping at the Mississippi Palisades State Park near Savanna.

    Northern Lights in Northern Illinois.

    These cameras collect more light with a longer exposure time, thus the brighter pic and more vibrant colors.

    Northern Lights in Northern Illinois.

    Cell phone pictures. The phone did all the work; I just pointed it and pressed the button. iPhone 15 adjusted the settings on its own for the longer than normal exposure times.

    Northern Lights in Northern Illinois.

    My wife and I have lived in our house for almost 40 years, and we have never seen Auroras here in all that time. I received a notice from Spaceweather.com about a major CME in progress. I went outside just before bedtime to take a looksee. At first all I could see was a faint green glow and I...

    Oop's! Look out BRP, Honda has a new 3-wheeler coming out!

    Yep, a top-of-the-line 2025 Mazda Miata MX-5 can be had for less than $40k and I'm sure that if that Honda was real, it would be north of that price.

    Oop's! Look out BRP, Honda has a new 3-wheeler coming out!

    Oop's! Look out BRP, Honda has a new 3-wheeler coming out!

    My math skills are a bit rusty since I retired and no longer have to use said knowledge regularly. I can still count to three and all the way up to four on a good day. While that Honda looks super cool, four wheels does not make a trike, no matter who's counting.
