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.

    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.

That’s it, rub it in.

Here's a replica of the main entrance to Los Alamos during the Manhattan project. Looks like the real deal, but it's a rest stop with bathrooms on the side of the building.

The theme.....Replica.

 
Well shoot, I was hoping Dave was taking extra time writing his acceptance speech.
Just kidding, I hope everything is as good as it can be for Dave and his family...

We had bad storms come through last week. It knocked the power out at work. They sent us home early. I wasn't complaining though...

Thanks for the tally, Norm.
ANd the most official announcement. Maybe prompted Rogers idea of Replica, haa haa​​

I want to thank the forum and all that make it operate, my family, and most off all my loyal fans.

......

..... I think Dave is helping his daughter after some bad storms.

Yep, I was.
Big storm (not so strong here, but intensified further inland) Thursday evening Grand Rapids area. 50-60-70 mph winds and some 80-90. All safe with my family (some others cant say that).
Tornado a couple miles from daughters house, main storm heading in thier direction, but tornado tracked in different direction.
I went there SatAM with generator. We saw lots of big trees down, partialy cut just enough for traffic on main roads. Near thier house, down trees cut for only one lane.
After got generator in operation, They got refridge back in operation, and some lights, and gas stove, and limited water. So are camping out. And PapaMimi took kids away for the rest of that day to give daughter a break after all that.
THey were expecting power back that Sat evening, but didnt happen. But online Outage map showed more and more subsections to their outage area (I suspect that means more problems identified in that area)
THier outage area seems to be one of the last remaining large outage areas. Expected return time is now 11pm tonight (MOnday), but such 4 previous stated Return Times have come and past, with only more subsections shown to their outage area.
THanks for asking. (oh, man, I yammered on.)

So, yah, a couple times Saturday I thought to check, but could not connect., and then I forgot about it. ANd I thought that was little need to check since my pic is probably the quickest snapshot that I have ever entered. (Although I did wait a little bit to see if could catch a student "back to school".)

Had I known the results, I probably would have passed anyway.
