    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.

Random Photo thread

I noticed this scene on my way to the job site this morning. I took a detour to get away from rooftops and power lines, then hopped up on top of the truck's shell to get a good shot.

Thanks guys.

The camera (phone) never seems to capture how magnificent things are in person. The waves of clouds rolling over the mountains are just mesmerizing to watch.
 
Had another interesting drive to my first job of the day. This time East of Albuquerque in Tijeras. The other side of these mountains is a completely different climate zone than Albuquerque.

This pic shows Rime Ice crystals that formed on a fence. The ice covered trees, fences and power lines.

Spent about 4 hours in front of my scroll saw tonight working on the face of my new shop clock. I'm leaving tomorrow for a week long work trip in Chicago so I'll buy the clock parts next weekend.

Great photos guys.

Scott, Nice. Intersted to see how it looks with the clock mechanism mounted.
 
Ah, those flying bugs can be scary !

Those butterfly habitats are so cool. We went to one years ago and I have a picture of my son with a butterfly that landed on his shoulder.
 
Thanks Dave, a little luck of the draw added to by taking numerous shots. It was tough to anticipate the drips and ripples. Even at that, both are heavily cropped and the image moved around in an attempt to get a nice layout.
Capturing the splash in the top image was pure dumb luck, that I didn't notice until I got home.
 
An old scanned slide from a mountain biking trip to Moab in 1994. Me, Rich (aka Wizard) and his wife. If you're not lost, filthy and bleeding you ain't doing it right. "Two out of three ain't bad."

Spent this past week in Chicago for a training class with a few of my co-workers (first time having met them as we live in various parts of the country). We went up to the Skydeck in the Sears (Willis) Tower on Monday night - that is a site
