• 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.

30 degrees outside, it may be time to call it a season...

As one IBR rider once told me "There's no such thing as weather that's too bad, only insufficient gear".

I have Pink's Ride to Eat on the 21st - also known as the Bite the Wienie Ride, and possibly a Winter Solstice or Santa Sore 1000 before the end of the year. We used to do the Because We Can ride between Christmas and New Year. Hopefully that will show up again.

I put my Spyder in winter storage on Saturday November 7th.
Cold temperatures are Not my favorite thing to do. I really enjoy
the warmer season of Life. (y)

& it sure sounds like good Frito Chili Pie weather! 🤤

* helpful hardiness - add either tamales or cocktail weenies & another layer of cheese *
 
I'm ryding today to the eye doc. About 25 miles each way and 40°F. But the Pineapple Express storms are all lined up to hit the Sierra Mountains tomorrow. They will soon bring snow to my 6,000 ft elevation. The Spyder will be tucked away soon.....
 
The founder of the small company I work for has called for all employees to return to the office two days a week (after all of us being fully remote for 4 years). For me, because of the size and type of equipment I'm working with, that means full time in the office. I expect to be riding either the Spyder or the Beemer every day there's no snow/ice. For the snowy/icy days I have my 4wd Nissan Frontier.

My wife came home to WFH at the start of COVID. They kept telling her she needed to be back in the office a few days a week starting about two years ago. She just ignored it and kept working from home. She told them if she absolutely had to go into the office she would retire. Like you, she either worked from home, or from the office, as she had too many computers to lug backwards and forwards each day. It didn't make any sense to her as the rest of her team was spread out all over the globe, so it wasn't logical to commute in to work to just sit on Teams anyway with people half a world away.

It would have been really silly. She finally got fed up with it all and retired at the end of last year. They weren't happy. I don't think they realized just how much equipment she was handing back in.

I've noticed the drop in my electricity bill as all the computers and servers piled up in her home office have all finally gone. I can now get the AC balanced again so the rest of the house isn't either baking or freezing. Cooling her home office with the central AC was a constant nightmare.
 
Packed mine away for the year today and put the snow tires on my truck as they're calling for a bit of snow tomorrow. Only a couple of inches, which I doubt we'll get, but it'll be here eventually.

There will be 4-6 engineers in the office at least two days a week. I have enjoyed my very short commute for the past few years, but I have also missed the synergy of very senior engineers being within earshot of one another. Slack can help fill the gap, but it really is no substitute for being there in person.
 
Yes I will. We have a lot of people that do a little bit of
cleaning off their vehicle windshield. Then they wonder
why they have an accident. Go figure that one out. (y)
