• 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.

Spyderfest Roll Call

Well, we have a week and away we go. I would like to know how many are going to make the trip with us leaving Tuesday morning.
Would you please post if you are going to meeting at my house or meeting us at exit 59 on I70 west. We are scheduled to meet the East Coast contingent around 10:30 at the Love's Truck stop. I think it would be a good idea that we be all gased up and ready to go when they pull in. For those of you meeting here at my home, let's plan on leaving around 9:30. You can show up here whenever you wish before then.
If you need directions to either place, let me know. If you are going to be late, please call. PM me if you want my cell.

BigLegMac,

If you take 57 south out of Chicago you'll intersect with I70 in Effingham, IL.(190 miles) We'll be coming west on I70 from Indianapolis and should be passing through Effingham about one and a half to two hours after we hook up with the east coast group (from exit 59 it's about 120 miles. We're supposed to meet with them around 10:30 a.m. and be back on the road by 11a. So... based on my calculations, we should be passing you sometime between 12:30p. and 1:30p. Eastern time. That makes it between 11:30a and 12:30p, central time. Dick... am I close?

Yes, you are close. I got a PM from BigLegMac and indicated the same thing. Hopefully we will be closer to Noon but :dontknow:. I figure we will be gasing up there. See you Tueday morning.
 
oil changed, tires checked, spyder washed/waxed, bags treated/mounted, and about 90% done packing.
 
Guess, I better start getting ready. I guess there are 4 of us meeting and leaving from my house in the morning and meeting 2 others at the truck stop. Let's hope for good weather.
