• 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.

Random thought for the day


Before cell phones, I didn't believe in the walking dead. I had seen couch potatoes and knew they were real, but they just laid there and didn't move. The cell phone zombies are like somebody very intent on watching TV while they are walking around, or driving, or should be paying attention in school. It is true that you can be in two places at one time, but in one of those places, you might get run over, or fall in a pot hole, maybe walk into a lamp post. If my cell phone is even turned on while I am driving, I won't answer it unless I pull off the side of the road and stop. If the cell phone is turned on at all when I am riding, it is playing music through the helmet speakers at a low volume and in airplane mode. It is usually inside the tank bag and I can't see it and don't want to. I can always go back to the missed calls when I get to where I am going safely. I lived most of my life without the entire world being able to access me immediately, and there is even less reason for them to be able to do it now that I am semi-retired. If they really want to contact me, they can send an email or leave a message on the land line answering device. I will call them back when I come in the house at dark 30 (... or not, if I don't want to talk to them anyway). Mid-term and local elections in 2026... there will be a lot of people calling who I don't want to talk to.
