    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    Pic of the week game

    Going to go with Rich for stirring up fond memories of my time with Stator. Hard for me to believe that was 12 years ago now.

    The oil shock is about to hit America

    An informed and well presented opinion. It is borderline Vortex but I think its value to members broadly is worth keeping it here for now. Its predictions are near term so we will know in two weeks or so how accurate he is. I like that he states he could be wrong while providing the facts and...

    R.I.P. Dash Crofts

    For me it would be mid 60's to mid 70's. British invasion, Psychedelic Rock, Detroit sound, Folk Rock, Southern Rock. Beatles to Skynyrd, Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship, Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin, Janis Ian to Janis Joplin, Mamas and Pappas to Moody Blues. Steppenwolf to The...

    Old timers trick for stuck bolts

    Makes sense. The crayon would allow heat and lubrication to be combined at a higher temperature.

    Said goodbye to five bikes at one time after Hurricane Irma visited me in 2017. Here are four of them.

    Old timers trick for stuck bolts

    Hard to believe that melted crayon would be superior to penetrating oil in this application. I am curious to know why from the physics/mechanical standpoint.

    March Madness!

    That Connecticut win over Duke was wild. Three point shot from mid court logo for the 1 point win.

    March Madness!

    I of course hated to see Florida lose but Iowa has shown that their victory over them wasn't a fluke. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it up against Illinois. Some great down to the wire games so far and some great matchups ahead. Highly unlikely but potential remains for an all...

    Thoughts about the website in general

    Obviously the difference. I am little curious why making a making a comment on an individual post would only be at the highest tech level. I would more expect that to be in the moderator function which we discovered is actually weaker in the current version than in previous ones. But I bow to...

    Thoughts about the website in general

    Let me throw another wrinkle into this for you, Frank. I am seeing IP, Edit, Quote, and Flag, but not Comment and Set as Answer. My admin is giving different options from your admin, both of which are different from what the regular account is seeing. But maybe not a problem we need to risk...

    RIP Rob and Michelle Reiner

    Among the tributes I have read I thought this best captured his work. "As a film-maker, Rob Reiner championed humour, civility and intelligence – qualities you suppose would be out of step with the Hollywood of the 1980s where he made his name,........" From everything I have seen, read...

    RIP Rob and Michelle Reiner

    I have deleted any posts with reference to the unfortunate public statements on this tragedy by a certain high office holder. Another member has started a thread in Vortex where that issue can be rightly addressed. This thread is not about that guy. This thread belongs to Rob Reiner, his...

    Temu is B.S.

    We have been blessed with two multi-post spammers in a twelve hour period. I think I got them all taken down but please flag if you find more. I am not sure what is going on but I will definitely need help catching them all if this keeps up.

    New (to me) bike in the garage

    Happy Birthday, Trevor. Was this just one of the perks of living in a place that requires vintage bike ownership for residency? :) I'll say. One of those rim$ costs more than I paid for any of the bikes I currently own. Congratulations on the bike but even moreso on the good fortune of fellow...

    The American Revolution

    Nova, the PBS science series, aired a great show last night on the weaponry of the Revolutionary War--muskets, long rifles, cannon, tomahawk. There was even a submarine. Interesting comparison of the musket to a modern rifle--velocity, accuracy, damage. You can view it at this link but here...

    The American Revolution

    ​ The above exchange is to me a great illustration of how things have changed since the airing of The Civil War 35 years ago. The rise of streaming has served the decline of shared experience in our country and, well, everywhere. Back in 1990 almost everyone watched each episode all at the...
