Hey Mark,
Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving weekend.
Thanks for the Dragon Videos too
10 hours from home for me so I guess my runs are only gonna be twice a year

 

It ANNOYS THE HELL OUTTA ME when I see me do that.

Towards the end of the day, I practiced running the dragon and telling myself, "sit back, relax, and drive the car like Nick does". I'm working on it...

And no, not still stressed ! Life is good, and getting better (more on that later).


BY THE WAY: I'm flying to Las Vegas in March for a convention. I'll have a weekend free to run around (gonna rent the sporty-est car I can). Do we have any members near LV? Does anyone recommend a state/federal park nearby with good hiking trails?

Any other relaxing nature-based tourist advice for that area?

 

Change the hair to sandy blond and eyes to blue and you pretty much have our instructor for tonight's class! Life is good and my back doesnt' hurt anymore after driving the car for 13 hours !

And thanks to all who have responded in this thread - I'm super busy these days and can't be online much - but I did manage to set aside a 13 hour day to run up to Fontana. I thought it would be boring without all of you, but I made friends with a guy on a Goldwing, the two on the sportbikes, and a potential new member in an AeroBlue N/A 6 speed Roadster. Theyd not heard of our GTG's there!

Also met a couple from New York in a minivan who were very nice, but kinda intimidated by the bikers... told them they'd actually picked the perfect time of year, since the summer the place was like a drag strip... Anyway - told them to not let the crazies bother them, just let them pass and don't worry about it!

 

Pizza isn't the only one STRESSED! These new owners are pi$$ing me off lately. If it isn't broken links, its the 'much harder to load because of BS ad content' thats slowing the HE11 out of my old system. Dam mit I DO NOT want to or can I afford another computer upgrade purchase!

One example, the banners for the "NEW" features car of the whatever contest, its all crap that paying members should not have to have load up/taking resources on my system. I became a dues member for a couple of reasons, one of was to get rid of added content. If I can eliminate the extra content like those banners/pictures loading, please someone, tell me how to do it... I don't want something loading unless I CLICK on it!

Now watch this post get deleted or I get warned about something I said or something I posted somewhere it isn't supposed to be. I posted this here because a LINK in a post below is broken and its taking forever to switch from a linked page telling me a link is broken back to the post I was reading. Should have just not showed up in the post I clicked it on OR just put a popup (which the picture viewer is anyway) telling me the link is broken.. Happening on this forum and a lot of the other forums I am on which is owned by a company that derives its revenue from BANNER/ADVERTISING/LINKING. Maybe thats whats driving forums like ours down? Something to think about!


PS: If anyone had a win 7 ultimate 64bit COA license (as in bought a three or two or multiple license package) that they can donate to a possible unworthy cause (been trying since early september to get a legal copy cheap [long story]), please PM me?

 

Forgot to say GREAT VIDS PIZZA!!!

 

Thanks, GG. Oh, and I run Firefox with "Ad blocker plus" - all free downloads and don't see the banners or ads here, on the Spaceport, CHirstianForums, or Youtube !!!

 

Firefox is a complete browser right? I really do not want to try to learn another browser system. I have a hard enough time with IE and all its quirks... How they have pop-up blockers and such and they seem to not block a lot of em. I think MS gets paid to "allow" others crap. Its a MULTI-MILLION if not BILLION industry so it would figure MS would have their hand in the till...

 

Firefox IS a complete browser, seems to be configured like IE was, say five years ago. (That means it's easy to use).

I don't like IE much at all. Everything seems quite intuitive with Firefox. You can download it and TRY it - see what you think!
All I know is, I can watch YouTube videos and almost NEVER see any ads! I don't even see ads here !

 

No ads? They can fix that for you. Shush!
