• 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.

Dave and Teds 2014 Adventures

Lemonade

Hang in there, you and Teddy will be better for all the trouble life hands you, remember when life gives you lemons make lemonade.:thumbup:
 
Amazing. Out of almost 3 thousand pics on this sd card & not one Tinted Shorty pic

well, I intended on trying to stay in theme to get the pics showing the different looks the different shields we've tried provide, but I'll have to wait til I can find our other sd card to post pics showing the Cal-Sci Tinted Shortly. Personally, I think it looks the best, but being so small, it obviously provides the least amount of wind protection. I'm thinking it'll be our go-to shield in the summer time. Will post those pics when I find that card.
 
Mandella .............. I am not

I realize most things in life revolve around our 'perception' of them and how we allow them to affect us.

 
Teddy checking out samples of new flooring to replace the destroyed carpet

20140115_152708.jpg20140115_152704.jpgGot a sample carton of a sold black laminate & loved how it looked. ... until you walked on it. You could see every little foot print with that stuff, so I'd be a slave to it, having to constantly keep cleaning it, so it went back. This stuff, being mixed black & white & a little tan, don't think it would show nearly as bad. Teddy isn't crazy about it tho, cause he has no traction & slides everywhere :joke:

I have the same flooring except mine's tile, not laminate, and has brown/tan as main color. Looks just like wood flooring. I love it.

Haven't had much reason for optimism lately, but had a meeting with Labor Relations

And I'm Praying the sun will come out tomorrow
 
Temp right now is . . . . . . . . ZERO. Hope y'all are warm & safe. . . & sane

Or 10 to 20 below with wind chill. So much salt covering everything, so needless to say, Teddy & I haven't been ryding lately. Heck, when I took him out this morning, he walked about 2 feet thru the snow & gave me 'that' look, of u better pick me up dad, poor lil guy. Had a bit of a shocker when I got home yesterday. When I first drive onto our street, I'm looking straight up at our condo, up on the top 2 floors & I noticed that it strangely looked like our balcony door was open.... but that couldn't be. Well, our front door opened easier than normal, so that alerted me that there was a pressure imbalance & then I knew I was correct. Sure enough, the balcony door was wide open & I'm guessing it had been for a while, cause the thermostat was reading 48F degrees. Poor Teddy, so glad I've let his coat grow long, but even with it, he was still buried under the covers of the bed. Guess it got windy enough to blow the door open. Being 60ft up, I tend not to lock it most of the time, guess I should rethink that. I cranked up the thermostat & put a log in the fireplace & did a load of laundry running the dryer extra long to help warm things back up. He was happy & hot after about 15 minutes of playing fetch with one of his favorite miniature tennis balls.

it would be a full time job keeping that clean:gaah::gaah::gaah::gaah::gaah::gaah::gaah::gaah:
That's an understatement!!! I had a friend who just HAD TO HAVE black tile floor in the kitchen and down the hall. They had an unmitigated amount of cats and dogs. COULD NOT KEEP THE STUFF CLEAN LOOKING!!!! Tore it up and got ceramic tile in a sandy color. Sure looked really nice. Could keep it clean , looked clean, was clean.
 
YAY!!! Good News ..... sorta ..... But the sun is shining at last, even tho its -7F

I'll detail all this drama later when I've actually got time to do so, but a quick update about my work situation. The lesson I learned, no one will fight for you more than yourself. I got out our contract and started educating myself about all of our work-place agreements and requested a meeting with our Labor Relations department that does our Plants reassignment letter & I showed them in black and white how they were wrong in placing me in the Assembly department. After some back & forth disagreement in how things were done, it was in black and white, it was conceeded I was incorrectly reassigned.

If you have a problem with a member of your family who is negative, begin by writing a list of all the things you appreciate about that person. Remember to include gratitude to them for giving you a great desire for positivity in your life; because that is a gift they are giving you. As you focus with all of your strength on appreciation, you will not only reduce your exposure to the negativity, but at the same time you will be attracting positive people into your life.

Get yourself on to the appreciation frequency, and the law of attraction can only surround you with people who are in a positive state.
 
So, did I tell u about us get'n stopped by the Rangers while ryde'n on Sunday???

Devou Park's finest walked out in front of Ted's Red Sled in the middle of the road and waved us to pull over to the side of the road.... OH NO!!! NOW WHAT HAVE WE DONE??It got up to around 40F degrees and dry, so we had to ryde. Went up to Devou Park & was watching all the kids sled ryding when the park Ranger walks right out in front of us and waves us over to the side of the road, blocking half of it cause I didn't want to park in the snow. I was starting to worry & thinking, uh oh, have I forgotten my new tags, insurance or what?
