Have you noticed.
 
That the member count is up to 300 but the active members are down to 118. How can we keep our members and keep growing; any idea's? Sometimes you can hear an echo in here. Other times I feel like a tree in the woods; does it make a sound.

Ms Grumpy 04-21-2010 05:41 PM

Hank is invaluable for sharing information. Many others ask additional question that the original poster might not have thought of. I think of a thread where it was suggested that the poster also do a compression check while checking plug colors. Most excellent suggestion! Gets you right back to the basics of solving a problem or doing the diagnostic check. I think that we all have info we can share with each other and so far I have seen no sarcastic answers to questions posed. As long as people feel that all questions are valid and they won't be put down for asking, the word will get out and help the site to grow.

But then, what do I know?

I think you got it right, not about me but in general. Try to help and provide answers when we can. The more help we provide the more times the search engines will bring people here. Hopefully they'll find a friendly site and want to stick around. We may be small right now but I really like the group of people here. As you said, no sarcastic answers, no big ego's. Hope it stays this way.

grandsport 04-21-2010 08:42 PM

I hope I can still joke around.:o

shadowgray396 04-21-2010 09:06 PM

You can always joke around Gary, it alway brings a smile to my face. I agree I like the help I recieve on this site and everyone is treated equally and with respect.
Thanks everyone

Thanks,Ray. At least you don't have to put up with me all day.

Ms Grumpy 04-25-2010 05:59 AM

Maybe it's quiet because everyone is out enjoying the weather where they are.

Yeah, the weather is bad outside now.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Winds gusting more than 100 mph have left thousands without electricity in Reno and caused travel havoc across northern Nevada.

The California Highway Patrol closed part of westbound Interstate 80 north of Lake Tahoe on Tuesday morning after wind flipped a truck on its side and snow began to fall. As much as a foot of snow was expected in the upper elevations by Wednesday.

About 5,000 homes and businesses were without power in Reno, where wind ripped off shingles, blew a school bus' door off its hinges and uprooted hundreds of trees, including a 70-foot-tall pine.

Reno-Tahoe International Airport recorded sustained winds up to 63 mph, and more than a dozen flights were canceled. One gust topped 125 mph near the Mount Rose Ski Resort between Reno and Tahoe.

(AP & KTVN) -- Winds gusting more than 100 mph have left thousands without electricity in Reno and are wreaking havoc on travel throughout the Sierra Nevada.

The California Highway Patrol closed part of westbound Interstate 80 north of Lake Tahoe early today (Tuesday) after wind flipped a truck on its side and snow began to fall. As much as a foot of snow was expected in the upper elevations by tomorrow.

Washoe County schools remain open and WCSD emergency personal have asked administrators to keep students inside and off the playground throughout this severe weather situation.

Right now, 2,000 customers remain without power in the old southwest Reno (Hunter Lake, Cal Ave) area by Reno High. There are also still smaller, isolated outages around town.

NV Energy's Karl Walquist told us that "anytime we have wind we have trees that get into power lines...power poles get broken like they were today in Carson Valley. It creates havoc, because a lot of our facilities are above ground."

The weather is also affecting air travel into Reno/Tahoe International Airport. At least 16 flights were cancelled today.

The control tower measured winds up to 70 mph. But it's not the high winds that cancelled flights...it's their unpredictability. Planes are more vulnerable to wind storms…with heavy snowfall the airport can just push it off the runways and taxiways. But with wind, you just have to wait for it to subside.

Winds are expected to die down by Tuesday night as precipitation moves into the region.

Temperatures Wednesday are expected to be in the upper 40s, or about 15 to 20 degrees cooler than on Tuesday.

The area will see a chance of rain on Tuesday, with more rain on Wednesday and a slight chance of snow. The storm is expected to remain in the Reno area through Saturday.

On some forums the mods would warn you about 'off topic' replies or move this post to the new weather forum.

Beer is good for the lawn,really. My beer of choice is Coors.

I quit after I drank Canada Dry!

Hank70SS 04-28-2010 02:50 PM

Coors isn't bad but all they sell around here is Coors Light, don't like that. Labatt's Blue, Molson Canadian, Blue Moon, Leinenkugel are few I like. Don't care for dark heavy beers or bitter tasting beer.

flash 04-28-2010 09:06 PM

No beer for me please ,me dont drink anymore . If I was to want a drink my favorite in the past was Crown Royal w/Sprite. Them Ohio boys seem to like sweet tea at their show, and boy do they have a big pitcher.

Highway Star 04-28-2010 09:15 PM

I miss Molson, can't get it here...or Labatt's for that matter.
