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.

We tried a ride earlier today. It was pushing 100. Since we were not having fun, came back home and maybe will get in an evening ride.

Valley Springs AR: went for a short jaunt on the Vulcan this AM. 80's for starters. Gassed up and saw a large black colored front moving our way from about 5 miles off. Decided to head back to the barn. By the time I got home the front with the black clouds was moving over our valley. We sat on the front porch, watched it get darker and darker, saw the temp drop ten degrees in as many minutes and watch the humidity go from 70% to 100% and saw the wind increase in the same amount of time.
Result: we got a great soaker rain that was pretty intense for over an hour. Now it has went to more gentle rain, but it continues. We can use it...so we will sit back and enjoy it. Thunder continues to be in the sound effects.

Go on, just rub it in a bit more, why don'cha, you 'still warm' bunch over there! :banghead:
I'm facing Yet Another day here in South Oz where the local temps are barely gonna climb as high as (+) single digits & the fog &/or 'rain' isn't exactly 'mist' or 'water' any more, but it ain't snow either (probly be warmer if it was!
) and it sure is bleedin' COLD!! :shocked:
Haven't seen any 'fully loaded' Brass Monkeys for a few weeks now - they'd all headed North for warmer climes back by the first week of August in the hope of hanging onto their balls for a bit longer; and there aren't any warty toads left around either - the cold's frozen all their warts off & the only toads we see these days are a freshly skinned pasty pink instead of a healthy warty green!! Surprised at how many of 'em are around tho!?! :shocked: And it's even got to the stage that not only am I avoiding ryding in the mornings, but I've skipped a few of the alternative 'early afternoon rydes' too - even if I do put on all my 'usually more'n suitable' winter riding gear, it's often still just too cold for me atm.... or maybe I'm getting soft & picky, only ryding on the 'good' days?! :dontknow:
Still, we had one 'chilly but fine & sunny' day this last week, so I did a quick run up to the local shop.... via a 200+ mile Riverland run & a quick spurt thru the Lower Barossa Valley and the Hills. A fella's always gotta keep in mind what that World Famous Iconic Ozzie Singer/Songwriter Bob Hudson told us in The Newcastle Song (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yZSSYqHYjxY ) and 'Never let a Chance go by Oh Lord' - so I try to ryde whenever I can - and I NEVER miss a break in the traffic!! :thumbup:

Enjoy your weekend and Ryde Time. ......:thumbup:

We had a great ride yesterday. Left about 6:00 PM. 80's, but in the shade areas it felt cool. Did not come home until dark. A great 80 mile ride.
And right on about the grass. Tall, plush, and needing a cut in the next couple days.

Temperatures for the next week..... Today 114H/87L .....110H/88L .....109H/87L .....113H/87L .....110H/88L .....111H/91L .....110H/88L. For those living in Celsius, 114F=45.5C and 88F=31C. Typically our monsoon season goes through the month of September so there is still some hope for relief but nothing in the foreseeable future. The big triangle shaped thing covered by canvas in the carport remains stationary. I am really looking forward to when the canvas comes off and getting reacquainted with having my knees in the breeze..... Jim
Update. Today was supposed to be 114F. But instead the high was officially 117f (47.2C). Eight days in row with above 115F temperatures. Wondering why I chose to retire to the desert.....:hun: :dontknow:
