Nothing wrong with older bikes. Back in Jr High and Senior High I road raced bicycles before I got into motorsports after HS. I still have my last race bicycle, A 86 era Miyata. Cro-moly frame and is about 18-19lbs. Have a 1996 Specialized Rockhopper, no fancy suspension either. Was gonna get a...

Yesterday 73F (22C for you metric types 😁 ), this morning it was 7F (-14C) at 5am..

We got that last night. Dog was happy as a clam about it. Crazy pug that loves snow. :laugh1: Thursday was near 60F, Friday was 35F. This morning was 18F. 30F as of 8pm tonight. High of 57F tomorrow.

Do you just turn the bodies or do you make everything in them?

I think you need to up the SPF level of your sunscreen. :laugh1:

Well from Google earth streetview, its been there since at least Jul 2019. The "caution slippery" signs in the US dont have the car nearly tipping over with wild skid marks like the Aus ones.

11 below zero this morning. Next week supposed to be mid to upper 40F all week.:oops: Guess the 10"of snow is gonna dissapear.

Not lifted. It just has the larger factory Z71 tire option (265/70R16 vs the normal 245/75R16). It does have some good clearance though (its an 03 so its bumper height is still higher than the 08's and newer). It will push through 24" with the bumper 4-5" in the snow but it will get me home in...

LIght snow now. 20ish deg F.

Tried playing Call of Duty Warzone with some coworkers last night. God I SUCK at FPS games other than GTA series. 🤪 Guess now I have to get a headphones since I can barely hear them with the controller speaker at full volume.

Love driving in snow. My Odyssey drives good in up to about 20cm (8"). When I got the van the OEM Bridgestone Turranzas SUCKED. Has Pirelli Scorpions AS3 on now and its like having AWD on starts. More than 20 I take the truck. It goes through 50-60cm (22-24") of snow no problem. I do take my...

Thanks. Looked at it on Google Maps street view. Area doesnt ring a bell but then again its been 33yrs since I lived there. Road surface looks like asphalt in the street view (taken in June 2023). Yes its a nice gentle bend, but looks like the road off cambers downwards to where your car ended up.

Probably get myself another bang bang stick. We kinda stopped the xmas stuff after mom died.

+1 on AWD/4wd being useless braking and proper tire choices. Last couple years here we've had huge pileups on the freeway near every winter. Heres the aftermath of last winters pileup.

Glad you are OK. May I ask what road that is? Lived in Clayton for 3 yrs back in the late 80's and would be curious if its one of the old roads I used to go zipping around with my Falcon XF. Also whats the road surface made up of? Blacktop? Seal coat? Chip Seal (pea gravel stuck to tar)?

In 2004 I just bruised my ribs after high siding my racebike. Was under orders no lifting more than 10lbs and pulling 25lbs for a week. Slept the next 4 nights in the living room. Laying down hurt. If you have kids, make them carry it. 😁

Grand Theft Auto VI. Really not into FPS games, but played GTA since it came out on the PC originally. Its a great stress reliever after dealing with idiots all day. Gran Turismo 8 and Tourist Trophy 2 also.

Have to check your area. Some places its illegal to feed wildlife. Here its a big no no to feed ducks/geese (city ordinance). We used to do it as kids in the 70's. Back then it was mostly ducks. Now geese took over pretty much and are a total nuisiance. I refer to them as flying rats.

For $200 I'll just go buy another printer.:D Generally once out of warranty, boxes disappear. I do have all the boxes for my Henry's. Lifetime warranties and shipping them is a lot easier with the factory box. Friends 77yr old mom keeps every box for anything she buys. Has a 4000sq ft home...

Honestly I dont think I even bother with the cameras clocks.

Oldest cam I use is my D70 for uses in areas where cameras can get destroyed, ie kayaking.

Pretty sure it was vBulletin when I signed up there. It takes alot of courage to write your own forum software especially for a, at the time, large popular site. I did remember a bunch of hubbub on how he change the normal UserCP (user control panel) to something that wasnt normal named and...

Thats a shame. Been a member there a while back when it was a Canon orientated site (Nikon here). Was a very busy place for a while. But when Pekka created his own forum software, thats when the site started dying IMO. I know my time going there slowed down a lot even after trying to give it...

I would say a larger zoom lens from behind a tree🤪 .

Just picked up an Exo Mini. Mainly since a friend has one and he wants someone to fly with. It was cheaper to buy a drone instead of upfitting my heli's or planes with new radios and having to register them now (thanks to the idiots who eff-ed it up for everyone by being idiots and flying drones...

Gonna be hot hot hot here all week. 90's and humid.

Got my 1st one late 70's. Dont remember the brand, but it used 126 film cartridges. Grandma bought a Canon AE1P and never learned how to use it but let me use it. Eventually she gave it to me around 1983-4 since I was the only grandchild who actually did photography. 1st digital camera was a...

3 days ago we were got an air quality alert from the Canadian fires from a local TV station. 2 days ago they posted another one due to "automobile pollution, ozone and other pollution". They are getting blasted on their FB page about their "reporting abilities". Same station refuses to name...

Freelancer or pro, insurance isnt that expensive especially if you shoot stuff that can break your gear.

Unfortunately Chris, usually that is a setting that the site admin has to change (if the software even allows it).

LAst week, high 70's and 80's. This week, 30's to 50's. Springtime in Wisconsin. 🤪

Bad night in this area last night. An outbreak of tornados (we were ont he north end of the big outbreak yesterday in the midwest) reported and touchdowns. Locally (well 30 miles from me) an old theater in Belvidere, IL had its roof collapsed during a concert killing 1 so far and injuring 28...

I have a new Netgear Nighthawk router also. Didnt have to download and app to set it up. Just changed the routers login main password, put my SSID in, set security options ot WPA2-PSK, set wireless access password and off I went. Its pretty much secure right out of the box. There are tweeks you...

Used to go there alot before Pekka wrote that horrible forum software they use now. Was just mainly a Canon site then. Place use to be very active. Not so much now. Lots of long time guys there left. May pop in there every few months. Pekka should had just stuck with commercial software.

I dont think VS has anyone that knows how to use a pencil sharpener. :D They bought a lot of motorcycling, automotive and firearm forums up I've been on. 85% of them now are dead and full of spammers. One of the bike sites I was on that got bought by them had 5 different "admins" using the same...

People have become worse drivers. Rely on too many drivers aids which allows them to not pay attention to driving. I know a bunch of people who want the limit raised from 70 to 90 here because "cars are safer and built to handle high speeds now". Yes the cars are safer and are better built to...

Well an ice storm here a few days ago and now 48F out.

Ice storm here also. Nothing like Brownie had, just a 1/4" coating on the snow. Snowblower cant clear it off the sidewalks. Tried breaking it up and then using the snow blower, but got tired pretty quick. Got about 3/4 of the front sidewalk done (on a corner lot so I have the pleasure of...

Was just one "journalist" was arrested (and charges later dropped). Guy was trying to create issues, was asked to leave and refused so he got tresspassed then tried fighting the cops when they went to escort him out. Theres a bodycam video released on his arrest and what led up to it.

8" of snow thursday. 45F today. Snow is melting quick. Dog isnt happy about it. Little nitwit loves snow.

Discovery channel. Thursday nights at 7pm Central. Right now its week 2 of the new season.

Been watching them pretty much since it started beng televised. Caught an episode of Robot Wars with Craig Charles (aka Lister on Red Dwarf for all us Smegheads:D) and just got hooked on robot fighting.

Been watching WKRP in Cincinnati all weekend on the Decade channel.

Robert Clary, Cpl LeBeau on the TV show Hogans Heros died today @96:cry:

I think the band isnt that great.

Having issues with them cancelling my account. They "limited" it after someone sent me $1100 by mistake (yes the guy got it back right away). Since then they have limited it. Now they WANT a copy of my drivers license, bank account numbers, ssn, and what not to cancel the account. Told them I...

Watching Battlebots now.

I get "page cannot be loaded" every time I open the site for the 1st time. CLick on reload and it loads fine. Nikon Cafe does the same thing. Both use the same forum software. Only 2 sites I have issues like this with.

I currently have 5 Dell laptops. 1 Inspiron 15, 1 Inspiron 17, 1 INspiron 11 2-in-1 (my travel pc), 1 Inspiron 17 2-in-1 (was moms) and a 2007 Dell Studio 17 (my 1st Dell) that still works and is on Win7. Very few issues. The Studio 17 is known for hinge issues, but they are easily user replaced.

Married With Children marathon. :ROFLMAO:
