This forum allows conversation on non-controversial topics, therefore no politics or religion. "The Campfire" is an area meant for casual, civil discussions. Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.
The words insight and incite are pronounced the same. But one of them will get you banned and the other will not. Before hitting the Submit button be certain which of the two better describes your post.

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.

IMG_5858 by Scott Marvin, on FlickrHelped this little one across the road today. I think it would have come right up to me but I didn't think that was a good idea.
Nice pic, Scott.
Looks like that smooth, flat, gentle curve could be taken at a fairly fast pace.
Glad it wasn't a bad ending for either of you.

Oh deer, bad ending for me, not sure about the deer. Bike seems to be fixable & I'll recover too.
It appears the deer tried to run along side bike on right shoulder (which was overgrown with tall grass to fog line- county lagging on mowing), then decided to cross at an angle in front of my tire in a hasty poor judgement deer call.
By the looks of my Helmet, the hind quarters locked the front brake lever & down I went. Came to flat on my back in ambulance.

Wow Carter, glad you’re alive to tell the tale. Get well soon.
Sh1t Carter. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I hit one in the mid 90s. Road rash from the young and not experienced enough to know better pre agtatt days. And young enough to bounce and not break.

That stinks, Carter.
Glad you are still with us.
Knock to the noggin can be tricky.

Bob, are those crows? Ravens? Vultures? Whatever they are, that’s a great silhouette shot. And that sky in ominous looking.
Black Crows, common around here. Stand about a foot and a half tall.
Wasn't too long before our neighborhood hawk moved them out...

Nice silhouette.
Interesting that the background sky is much lighter behind the main subject and blue elsewhere. Really adds to the scene.
The sun was setting behind the ridge directly behind me, which light up the clouds above and behind the tree/birds, but not the tree/birds.
Lucky. I stepped out of the garage, and saw them. My camera was nearby on the work bench, with the 100-300 already on it.

I called my wife, 5 miles away, yep, she heard it.

Dave, that is by far the favorite picture from the set you posted on FB. The converging lines are great and the sheer size of the ship is conveyed even better by it being not fully in the frame.
