• 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.

    Northern Lights in Northern Illinois.

    We've been there a number of times, very nice. We like camping at the Mississippi Palisades State Park near Savanna.

    Northern Lights in Northern Illinois.

    These cameras collect more light with a longer exposure time, thus the brighter pic and more vibrant colors.

    A bit south of Rockford.

    Northern Lights in Northern Illinois.

    Cell phone pictures. The phone did all the work; I just pointed it and pressed the button. iPhone 15 adjusted the settings on its own for the longer than normal exposure times.

    Northern Lights in Northern Illinois.

    My wife and I have lived in our house for almost 40 years, and we have never seen Auroras here in all that time. I received a notice from Spaceweather.com about a major CME in progress. I went outside just before bedtime to take a looksee. At first all I could see was a faint green glow and I...

    Oop's! Look out BRP, Honda has a new 3-wheeler coming out!

    Yep, a top-of-the-line 2025 Mazda Miata MX-5 can be had for less than $40k and I'm sure that if that Honda was real, it would be north of that price.

    Oop's! Look out BRP, Honda has a new 3-wheeler coming out!

    My math skills are a bit rusty since I retired and no longer have to use said knowledge regularly. I can still count to three and all the way up to four on a good day. While that Honda looks super cool, four wheels does not make a trike, no matter who's counting.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Sady, it's time to put my F3 to bed for the winter. Changed oil, washed and detailed, rode to the gas station, dumped in 3oz of Sta-bil, then filled 'er up with 93 octane, rode home, covered her up, and tucked her in, in the garage with her favorite cover along with a couple of poison mouse...

    Spyder - Trader Joe's - A case of Two buck chuck will fit!

    I had no idea what Two Buck Chuck was/is. I did a search. A $2 bottle of wine? Oh boy. Perhaps the name needs to be changed to Four Buck Chuck now? I do not drink wine, EVER. It's an acquired taste that I never acquired it seems. Beer for me please. On the other hand, my wife does enjoy wine...

    I'd be concerned about those bottles bouncing around and breaking. Where's the ice? ;)

    Hidden Surcharges shouldn't be allowed!

    You wanna talk added hidden costs, taxes, surcharges, the works! Here in Illinois, where recreational marijuana is legal, the bottom of the receipt is where the interesting added costs show up. Sin tax, yes, I'm aware. Illinois brings in a LOT of revenue this way...

    Just wondering out loud. Were cream and sugar ordered with your wife's coffee?

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Two weeks camping up in beautiful Wisconsin. Pulled the covered trailer up with us, with the Spyder inside, behind the RV. Good time except for issues with the Wisconsin State Bird - mosquitoes!!! I think that I donated a couple of pints while there.
