    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.

Had a pretty close call with a dear Sunday

Glad to hear that you came out alright from the deer scare, rvj.

My closest call on a bike with wildlife was two big black dogs running loose on the highway at night. I (barely) saw their silhouette against the intersection a quarter mile beyond. I slowed and safely dodged the dogs but the car behind me nailed one and clipped the other on the nose. I don't think I'll ever forget that sound. The poor old woman was pretty shaken. She thought she had hit someone who fell off my bike. Fortunately, I was alone.

Thought I'd throw that one in.

THANKS, i IMAGINE HITTING 1-2 DOGS WOULD BE A CATASTROPHy also. Even though it wasn't that close I was still shaking thinking about it. 20 years ago I probably would not have slowed down and been in big trouble. but I'm getting wiser if not safer with age,
 
Discovered something interesting about wildlife ...

Camels are even sillier than deer. We had a camel on one side of the road while the rest of her herd/pack (whatever) was on the other side of the road. Lane, whatever. Anyway, convoy of LARGE trucks is going by and this camel decides she had had ENOUGH of waiting ... walked right into the road and started attacking one of our trucks ...
 
Hey fairecat, is that you at the Howitzer in your avitar?
 
Yes, Jethro, that avatar is me behind a machine gun. It's not a howitzer, it's just a 50cal. On top of my truck, not a tank. :D

Wow, cool pic! I guess it's obvious I don't know much about guns, I bought mine at Wal-Mart and use it to shoot red squirrels...

Well, that particular gun would make smush out of a red squirrel ;) ... I'm looking for something a little more "normal" now.

And thanks. You can probably guess where that one was taken. :P
