    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...

    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

Well, I got three or 4 pics in mind, and need to find a tie-breaker.

If I was going for the best photo, for photography-composition sake and general appeal, I would choose mine.

Gustov's is unexpected and nice pose.
If I was going for most unique-unexpected I have a tie in my mind for Roger Burque and Charlie. Both good pics of quite "unexpected" places.

Man, when I was thinking of the subject-theme for the week I was thinking of something like "bike parked really strange weird places", like some of my pics that some could describe as "stupid, dangerous, ill-advised, hazardous".

But I though, naw, better tone it down so more folks will have some photos to enter. So described it as "unexpected places".

And then Roger post one that made me gasp and think "how did he ever get that idea, and then actually did it". And he somehow posed things for good lighting inside a car wash. So I will use that as the tie-breaker in my mind, and throw my vote to Roger Burque.

How about being on a stage?
Never thought I would be on a stage with my motorcycle...lol...this was May2017 at The Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Monterey Ca.
My bike won Cycle World Magazine's "Best of Tour"...
....

I can see the bike being deserving.

And they got you on stage .... and gave you the microphone !

Add me to the Charlie G. landslide.
With all the seats facing the bike i wonder did the Pastor sit on the Triumph while leading the Sermon? haha.
 
I think this is the biggest landslide win so far! "Our Lady of Fast Acceleration"👍
 
No real need for a tally this Saturday, but:

SteveM 1, CharlieG 12, Gustov 1, Burque 1

High number of entries and votes, and record high number of winning votes.
(and that is without counting a couple of post that mentioned some entries but not really stating a vote. Good thing those would not effect the outcome anyway.)



Charlie, What do you have for the benediction?

This has been fun....thanks guys! If you're interested, my photo was taken in the church I used awhile back and it was a bit tricky to get into the place, even if there is a ramp on the front of the building. I had come up with the idea the night before while we were moving chairs into the space for a up comming music performance. I asked my fellow committe members if it would be alright. They encouraged me.

Now "Our Lady of Fast Acceleration" wishes us to seek out other "Places of Spiritual Meaning". In this photo there is a mountian (Mt. Hood), I have just come around it's east slope after visiting my son and I am standing where my 2nd great grand father stood a 145 years ago. So it's up to you to seek out that place......

Interesting thing to think about.
But, I suspect any place that I can think of, the picture will not at all contain the significance of that place to me, no more than your picture contain what is significant about that place to you.
But, yah, could be some interesting pictures and/or stories.
