    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

Thief! We had a raccoon scratching on our back door a while back.


I did see the eclipse last night, but failed to get and good shots with my setup. Most interesting was setting up. My camera has a focus aid that makes the image extra large for fine focusing. While doing this, I could literally see the moon moving across my screen. Fist time I've ever seen that.
 
My punk kid has a fancy new phone and got this pic of the eclipse:

Here's a random picture of The Ugly on a camp out night in the woods. Using the red on my flash lite for illumination.

I bet with your lense, you could even see the moon occulting stars with its own motion if you wanted ...digital cameras are so amazing nowadays... Consider this from my first digital camera- not even good enough for a toy nowadays... And this is full size. according to my filename it's the moon through binoculars.

I was probably at a place I wasn't allowed to be at. But if you look like you're allowed to be there, no one says anything...
 
I'm sadly losing my workshop space for both the bikes and my woodworking as my friend took a new position at the VA Hospital in Augusta GA with a promotion. However, I was able to finally finish this 2-year long project of mine.

I also posted pictures of the gift to Jay in the Brown County thread if anyone is interested.

I'm taking the bike on a road trip to Gettysburg Wednesday so hopefully i'll find a way to get pictures in amongst the forecasted rain drops.

(one lost in the sun. I could not see to frame picture, and only took one shot. Cellphone.)

Todays Memorial Day parade.
Legion Riders stopped and dismounted (parade rest?), saluting flag display and playing of taps, and a fly over.
