Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Sort of overdue for this.

Sure missed it for the 3 months or so it was not running.
Not a lot on power, but it sure beats the lesser alternative.
I am going to have to start paying attention to walking every now and then.
I'm not quite getting the exercise I should, now that I'm not working.

2006 Chev Uplander with about 40 000 miles on the clock when I bought it.
It quit on us Christmas Eve, just after turning over 100 000 miles. Got it running Mar 24.
Fuel pump and sending unit were gone and there was a bit of a problem with the spark control that may be squill related. Fortunately, all it took was a fuse.
Kind of a big repair bill with most of it being labor to install the pump and trace the electrical issue.

However ;) we are extremely happy to be mobile again...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

i understand , i think that is great that you got it fixed - everyone needs their mobility inspite of those that wish to steal it from us , i get the need for exercise as well , in retirement ive found i actually need to think about it for the first time in my life - never been real big on it but mostly got what i needed in my job and recreation , thats changed a bit

i have been working 6 days a week for a couple months but its a short term thing , ive got two part time jobs for a couple more weeks then back to one - i stand a lot but dont move very far , im starting to think walks will be required
