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.

Hey, I'm glad to help
Just hope, one day, I'll get to enjoy it too. But in reality, 20 years from now, I doubt there will be anything left of Social Security, even though we've spent a lifetime of paying into it:dontknow:

Wow, what a difference a day makes
This morning, on the ryde in to work, it was clear & cool, around 48F. Amazingly, I didn't see another vehicle on the highway, at least Northbound on I75 this morning. I saw other vehicles heading southbound, but once I got through the downtown construction, not even 1semi heading Northbound, it was erie but very welcomed after my experience yesterday. Was a bit chilly for shorts, but I turned on the heated grips & that helped make for a very nice, calm ryde in this morning :thumbup:

The Tedster has another run-in with the law
Yup, the construction outside the house continues & everyday it seems to get louder. I was dead tired when I got home from work yesterday, especially since I'm not yet acclimated to 12 hour shifts. I have to give props to Teddy tho, cause I thought for sure that I'd be coming home & having to clean up an "accident" cause its allot to expect a lil dog to "hold it" for close to 13 hours when he's gotten used to a 9 hour routine for so long. But, to my pleasant surprise, no accident, just overwhelming joy to finally see me again. I love this dog.
So, as a reward, even tho I'm dead tired, off to the park we go. In preperation for the OSR group weekend ryde, I decided to hitch up Teddy's camper and take it along to the car-wash so its nice and clean for the trip. First, to the car-wash, then we stopped at Eden Park in Cincinnati. We went to the Twin Lakes part of the park, cause he really enjoys chasing after all the ducks that live at the twin ponds. One of these days tho, one of the large geese are gonna go after him & he'll be whining like a baby for daddy to save him -lol This part of the park is small & very picturesque, with the twin ponds and a natural water fall inbetween, walking bridge over top, and beautifully manicured gardens & flowers and a seperate playground for the kids. Sadly, we could only find a small stick to play fetch with & that just wouldn't do. So, after about 30 minutes of playing & him posing for pics for fans, we set out for another park. On the way, I stopped by Wendys & picked up a large fry (his favorite) cause I knew he had to be starving because we left home before he had a chance to eat.
The last few days, we had been stopping by Burnett Woods Park, which has an amature 18 hole disc-golf course and is on the campus of the University of Cincinnati in the Clifton area. Having a broken rib, I can't play right now, but we found Teddy the perfect stick for fetch. Its a little over 3 feet in length and fits perfectly in his mouth & as long as he holds it in the middle, its not too heavy for the lil guy. So, after we finish playing each time, I've put it back leaning up against a metal pole & its been there every time we've stopped so far. He goes crazy playing fetch and can do it for hours and hours, and you can tell he really enjoys it. A few of you SpyderLovers that we've met, have seen this in person, first hand, he just loves it.
As a revenue stream, the university has made almost all parking in the park by permit only, except for maybe a dozen spots way in the back of the park. When we go, its usually past traditional shool hours and there have hardly been any cars around & we're usually only there for about an hour playing fetch. But wouldn't you know it, about 3 parking spaces away from Teddy's favorite stick, just sitting there waiting for him, there were 2 cop cars with both officers out of their vehicles & huddled around one of the cars hood with them both looking at some type of apparatus. Uh Oh buddy, don't think we can stop & play today :-(

Teddy's run-in with the law --- PART II
So, with seeing the 2 cops right next to signs reading "PERMIT PARKING ONLY" & "LEASH LAW ENFORCED AT ALL TIMES" I figure there's NO point in stopping, "Sorry Buddy, not today. Just as I was about to pass them, I see one officer look directly at me & put his hand up in a "STOP" motion. "Uh Oh, he musta ran my plate & now I'm going to jail" is exactly what I thought. Long story, nothing serious, but I'm a wanted man in Ohio, so I thought for sure I was a gonner.
So, I came to a fearful stop right in front of the officer & said, "Hi" with a half grin on my face. He looked at me and asked, "That's a stuffed toy, right?" But as soon as he asked, Teddy cocked his head & gave him his answer, to which the surprised officer exclaimed, "OH SH*T!!! NO WAY!!! THAT'S THE COOLEST THING EVER!" And I let out a great sigh of relief with an even larger grin upon my mug.
I replied, "Yup, that's Teddy & this is his byke & I'm just lucky enough to be his cheuffer." with a chuckle.

Sadly, not in his future
WOW!!! That was truly amazing & one very tallented & well trained dog. Sadly tho, the Tedster has medical issues that would prevent him from doing this. Most of you know, he had surgery for his Luxating Patella "Flat KneeCap" a few months ago, so its not advisable to have him trying to stand on only his hind legs. Would be asking for trouble & we get into enough self-inflicted trouble as it is:roflblack:

Teddys Run-In with the LAW - Part III
With the officers face lit up like it was Christmas & he was a 10 year old kid again, he gave a shout out to his partner, that he just had to come over and look at this, to which his partner readily did. Upon seeing Teddy, he asked if I wouldn't mind waiting for a minute while he went back to his squad car & got his camera phone, cause his girlfriend was never gonna believe him. "Sure, no problem." I said, while I'm thinking, "As long as your distracted by Teddy, I shouldn't have anything to worry about : So he goes back to his squad car & I then here a loud whine coming from the rear, and see that he has a canine unit with him. Our LUCKY Day, he's a dog lover too.
By the time he gets back to us, Teddy had rubbed his head against the backrest, and now his blue Doggles are up on top of his head, right in the middle of his bright red mow-hawk. He does this quite often, as he doesn't really like to wear them, but he knows the rules, which are, If he's on the Spyder and the Spyder is moving, he's got to wear them, which for the most part, he does. But as soon as we stop, he usually finagles them either down around his kneck or up on top of his head, which looks even more cute than when he's actually wearing them. When the cop saw that he did this himself, he just busted out laughing & Teddy was doing his best to get to him so he could schmooze & be petted & loved on. I swear, this dog is a player & he owns the game.

Teddy's Run-In with the Law - Part IV
Since Teddy was still tetherd, he couldn't go anywhere, tho not for a lack of trying. After a couple of minutes of him posing for pics, the cops & I chatted a bit. I told them that I noticed all the signs about Permit Parking Only & wondered where we could park for a bit so Teddy could eat and play. At first, the one cop asked if we were from out-of-town? To which I explained, "Not really, out of state, yes, but just across the river in Covington." He said, "Oh. ok. I noticed your camper & you can't camp here, but yeah, its cool if you park here." Well ok then, I'm not gonna argue with the law -lol.So I drive around the rotunda & park right close to where Teds favorite stick is. Mind you, we're now parked right under the sign that says, "LEASH LAW ENFORCED AT ALL TIMES." & the other sign about "PERMIT PARKING ONLY" So, at 1st, I have Teddy on his leash. I open up the back of the camper and use it for my seat, while I tell Teddy that he's not allowed on the street & that he has to stay in the grass, which he understands & complies with. Such a good dog. I grab his fries & tell him to sit & I'll pitch & he can catch. I take a bite of the fry & toss the remaining peice high in the air above Teds head, & like a lil heat sinking missle it quickly dissapears down his throat. He's actually pretty good at this & out of 30 or so tosses, he only missed 3 or 4. After about 10 minutes, the fries were history, so now its time to play. Have you ever tried to play fetch with a dog on a leash? Just not all that fun. So, I figure since the cops are right there & their clearly smitten with Teddy, we'd take our chances off leash & if they have an issue, I was confident they'd just tell us he's gotta stay on a leash, & not ticket or fine us. So, I undo his leash & he starts barking like a banshee for me to throw his HUGE stick. I pick it up & tease him a bit, waving it over my head & asking if he wants it. I overhear one cop comment to the other, "Yeah, Right. That sticks 3X his size." Cool, we got 'em buddy, is what I think. So, I throw the stick about 30 feet or so & Teddy takes off like a bat outta hell & I watch the officers as they both watch in disbelief as this lil firecraker goes after the HUGE stick & pick it up and bring it back to me & beg for me to throw it again & again & again. I get a bit worried when I see one of the cops walking over to us, & I think, "UhOh, game over buddy, he's coming to close us down." But again, I'm pleasantly surprised. The officer has his smart-phone in his hand & says he just has to get a video of Teddy in action. Oh, Ok, Cool. He asks again if its ok to video us for a little while to which I readily agree. As I said, this dogs got game & even has the cops eat'n outta his paws -lolAfter about 5 minutes of video, he thanks us & both cops pack up & take off, waving to Teddy as they leave our sight. So, there you have it, his second run-in with the law in a week. 1st, the Presidents Secret Service detail & now the Cincinnati Police department.

WoW!!! Teddy's more popular than I thought
Ok, let me apologize upfront if this post rambles or is incoherant. Mispelling is a given at this point in my study on sleep deprivation & no spell check, so please, bare with me here. I'm uwed to going to bed after Letterman, which I think is around 12:30 or 1am. You try changing your sleep pattern over-night & let me know how you fair. Me, I'm making it, but just barely. Eventually, I figure my body/mind will give me know choice but to shut down, but as I said, so far, I'm making it. Going to sleep at 12 or 1 & waking up at 2 & this is what, Thursday, so my 4th day in a row .... UGH!!! But hey, I can sleep a little after tomorrow at least. When I've been getting home from work, I'm just dieing to take a nap, but after leaving Teddy locked up in the bedroom for 13 hours, I just can't do that to him. Not to mention, all the dang constructiom going on directly in .front of our condo & its SO LOUD, doubt I could actually sleep anyways. I asked them yesterday as I was ryding over the metal plates coving the road where they are working, how much longer the job was gonna take, and the forum said, "Oh, this is gas lines, its gonna take some time." WONDERFUL!!!JOY!!! thats sarcasm folks
So yeah, I'm done whining, sorry. So as soon as I get home, I make my way upstairs to Teddys Bedroom & he hears my footsteps on the stairs & I can hear him jumping up against the door in EXCITEMENT to see me. Again, the pup makes me proud, no accidents waiting for me to clean up, YAY!!!! GOOD DOG!!! Since he gets so hyper & EXCITED when he first sees me, I usually just let him jump up into my arms & I just hug him tigtly while petting him &allowing him to give me some lickens. Usually do this for about 5 minutes to get him calmed back down some. I've found, if we don't go thru this lil routine, he gets himself so worked up that he goes into couging fits.
THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF OUR STORY:
For those that are unaware, small dogs like Teddy can be plagued with many ailments, due to breeding them soo small, such as we recently dealt with his LUXATING PATELLLA (flat kneecap) surgery right after SpYderFest 2011. Along with that, he also has a callopsing trachea which surgery is usually only 50% ssuccessful, so, besides managing it, there's not really much that canbe done. To help manage his condition, I give him a syringe (1CC) every day of a narcootic, can't think of the namme right now, but it helps to relax his trachea so he can breath normally for the most part. If he gets really excited tho, hee still goes into his coughing spells & there's not much I can do tto help (which sucks) So yeah, I got home & was holding him to calm him, when my phone (which is downstairs) starts ringing with my bosses ringtone. I put Teddy down and make my way to the stairs, cause I have to take his call. Well, Teddy being so EXCITED to see mee & be free of his bedroom after 13 hours, he dashes under my foot just as I was about to head down the stairs & well ........... you woulda thought I just kiccked a football & he goes floudering down all the 16 wooden steps to the tile floor at the bottom. My heart sank,cause I was powerless to do anything but watch & I just knew he was gonna brake a leg or something worse. This was my fault & believe me, I felt like sh*t! I mean litterally, he went down head first, paws up & flip'n siideways. I thought for sure I'd be rushing the poor lil guy to the vet for something broken. He picked himself up & was visibly shaken & looked a little disoriented. I dashed down & grabbed the phone & yup, it was my boss needing some info about work. After I finished the call, Teddy was once again schmoozing around my feet beg'n for my attention. HUH??? How can this be? Broken leg, brroken back, broken neck??? Nada, like nothing even happened. Whew, thank god for small miracles!!!
OK, enough drama, back to the story. So, to make it up to him, we had off to Lowes so he can schmooze with his adoring fans. It had been a few weeks since we went there, but between PetsMart & Lowes, those are his 2 favorite stores to visit. We got the usual requests for pics in the parking lot, as soon as we stopped. Took care of them & then headed insiide. Once inside, a 20something Employee, that I didn't recall meeting before approached us & said, "Hey, there's the lil superstar & he got hiis Mow-Hawk ccolored." Wow, he remembered that his Mow-Hawk waas orange before & now its bright red, cool. Well, another employee cme up to introduce herself & to meet the lil star. She tolld me how she had been waiting for months for us to come in while she was there, so she could meet him in person. WOW, OK!!! Then, she really blew me away. She said that her fellow employees were all talking about Teddy from one of our previous visits, and she couldn't believe some of the pics that they showwed her. Then she held up her cell phone & said, "look" To my disbelief, even tho she had never met Teddy herself, she had a pic of Teddy that one of her fellow employees had sent her, as her cell phone background. & you ccould tell it was an older pic of him, cause he still had a black mow-hawk back before I started coloring it. Got to admiit, I thought that was pretty cool.

Took care of them & then headed insiide. Once inside, a 20something Employee, that I didn't recall meeting before approached us & said, "Hey, there's the lil superstar & he got hiis Mow-Hawk ccolored." Wow, he remembered that his Mow-Hawk waas orange before & now its bright red, cool. Well, another employee cme up to introduce herself & to meet the lil star. She tolld me how she had been waiting for months for us to come in while she was there, so she could meet him in person. WOW, OK!!! Then, she really blew me away. She said that her fellow employees were all talking about Teddy from one of our previous visits, and she couldn't believe some of the pics that they showwed her. Then she held up her cell phone & said, "look" To my disbelief, even tho she had never met Teddy herself, she had a pic of Teddy that one of her fellow employees had sent her, as her cell phone background. & you ccould tell it was an older pic of him, cause he still had a black mow-hawk back before I started coloring it. Got to admiit, I thought that was pretty cool.

Yep, I go to sleep each night using my Bose QC headphones. Liquid Mind sleep music playing. They come off at some point during the night. I don't even notice. Pricey but well worth it! No outside noise gets through.

Yup, I've tried my earplugs & they DO heelp some, but its also a combination of not being. Acclimated to sleeping durring the day along with being very uncomfortable still dealing with this broken rib.
Heck, I can't even afford to get my Cougar running right now, so pricy plugs. Would be nice, but not in the. Cards for thhe near future at least. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

To put you at ease...
I have a 9# Toy Manchester Terrier who is now 14 1/2 years old. She likes to get under foot on the stairs, too. A couple of weeks ago, I accidentally tripped her on the way to the basement to go out (exposed basement). Well, this was in the kitchen at the top of the stairs. She goes down, rolling from stair to stair lengthwise like a little hot dog for about 5 steps, then hits the edge and falls the last 6 feet or so right to the cement floor. Dazed for a second, and opened a little cut above her eye, scared the crap out of me, but other than that, nothing.
They're resilient little beasts.. and being a small terrier, she's too ornery to get really hurt!

Thanks for share'n & Yes they are
Yup, it seems they can bounce back pretty well. We were down at the river-park in front of my condo today playing fetch & he got a thorn stuck in his rear paw. Was kinda funny, as he'd be running full out, then all of a sudden, stop on a dime & twist around biting at his leg. Then he'd be off again like crazy & the sceneww would repeat itself over & over, til I finally stopped him & pulled tge thorn out for him. Then he was HAPPY GO LUCKY again :2thumbs:
