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.
It is coming back

Sorry to hear that....we also had a very bad winter....hope yours will start to turn to spring. Ottawa is a great place...been there a few times. Looks like the NE USA is going to get it as well. We missed this snow storm (and I hope we miss all the rest! ). :yes::yes:
Have "zero" miles on my 2014 -- will wait until roads are clear of the grit and it rains a few times to clean them up -- also, we have billions of potholes...:banghead::banghead::banghead:

"Snow bird" home -- Arizona OR Florida -- your opinions please.....
AFTER THIS :cus: WINTER.......I am thinking of "moving up" the date to purchase a "snow bird" home in the south.....either Arizona (recently spent a week there riding a rental (sorry, it was a Gold Wing) OR Florida (where I have a few relatives).
What's your opinion???? Arizona? or......Florida? for a winter home for someone who has spent most of their life in the frozen tundra of Minnesnowta???????
Appreciate your "voice" on the pro's and con's of these two fine states!! :yes::yes::yes:

Yes, and the mosquitoes are HUGE. If you own a sled, and a spyder there is plenty of riding to do.
Just sayin'............
Both places are hot in the summer w/ Fla having much higher humidity and more rain/thunderstorms. Of course in Fla you're not too far from a beach if beaches are something you like. I suppose both have their + and -, good luck making the choice...I'm sure you'll make the best one for you.

But right now mother nature has other plans. More snow....

The Anchorage/Palmer area (South Central Alaska) have moderate summers. We usually break 70 degrees about three to five times a year. Last summer it was about 10 times. Other parts of Alaska (Fairbanks) area do reach 100 degrees. They also see -50 in the winter.
The winters in our area are also not to bad. We get a week or so of -20, but most of the time, zero to 30 is the norm. Other parts of Alaska see -50 below at times.
My Duluth, MN and Ashland, WI experience really did prepare me for Alaska. Lake Superior had a real effect on the weather there. I lived on Cheqwamagan Bay of Lake Superior and the backyard (bay side) would sometimes be 10 degrees different from the front side of the house due to the breezes coming off the lake. The bay got warm because it was shallow, but the open part of the lake never got more than 37 degrees.

I've heard that a summer spent dodging the Alaskan mosquitoes, almost prepares you for time suffering in the Adirondacks; dodging the deerflies!
I had one chew through a chamois shirt, in an attempt to get at me! :shocked: nojoke

Deer flies are an experience that I also remember well. When I used to do wilderness canoeing, they were always there to greet you on the portage and keep your campsite company. I came off one trip with a once inch or so welt on the back of my neck.
RE: mosquitos--we refer to them as B-52's here. They start showing up about late April.

Arizona at an altitude at or above 5000' would be hard to beat. Florida is beautiful but like Houston, or Corpus Christi it can be a little uh.....damp. jm2c
