    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Dave, just checking to make sure you’re Ok. Maybe the text looks different on your screen. Emojis of some kind? Looks like you may be having a stroke on my screen. Thanks for the vote :o
 
Well Happy Saturday, GSR! Welcome to the weekend!

Let's tally up...

With one vote each, Burque73, Cowboyup3371, Grimly, and kerrfunk.
With two votes, Redman.
With three votes, Rich82GS750TZ.

And with five votes for the win, dpep!
Nice photo, Don.
What's next?
 
I vote for REDMAN and the Christmas Street Lights.

I'm not getting how Burque's Sail Plane picture fits the "Light" theme... ? Cool picture though. 

I liked Redman's photo as well. it was hard to pick just one yesterday and I waffled so much I ran out of time.

Maybe a hot air balloon would have been a better representation of my thought there. Better yet a baloon with it's burner going at night, that would have been cool. Those night time balloon events are hard to get near with a bike though.

Actually the whole balloon setup, envelope, gondola, fuel etc. can weigh more than most gliders. For giggles and things I went to the scrappers near my house and rode up on the scale. My GS on that day tipped the scale at 662 lbs weighing more than many balloons and gliders. It has since lost a few pounds.


 
Thanks, guys. This week lets go with Local Landmarks. Here is a shot of The Rooster, the namesake of a long standing biker bar between Jacksonville and St Augustine.

That's a lot of monuments for one man. It must have required a monumental effort. lol
 
Being a old Steel Town, Youngstown, Ohio has a lot of "Local Landmarks". I call this guy Iron Man. It's a big sculpture made out of scrap metal. It sits in front of a scrap yard. I'm not sure how long it's been there, but it's been there since I was a kid. When I drive by, I always say "I am Iron Man" in my best Ozzy voice. 🌞

LOL Earl, local lore has it that as the horse statue was being delivered to the Cemetery a town drunk hopped aboard and rode B!tch to the Cemetery.....
 
Local landmark, real local, like down the street and around the corner.
When giving directions, will say "... just past the plane at the airport ... "
