Finally getting some computer time to post my take of this years International Rally. We got home around 6pm after a short stop at the daughters house to pick up our mutt. Crossed the Ohio/Michigan state line at 5pm after a 9 hour run from the Canann Valley Resort. Like Jay said no rain till just before getting to Bridgeport, WV on US50. From there it was on and off rain till getting to Toledo, Oh. Some were pretty heavy downpours too. Other than this you couldn't have asked for better weather during the weeks rally. Now as to the rally itself Chuck & his wife did an absolutely amazing job setting up this years rally. Everything from pre-registration to the final banquet ran smoothly, thou Chuck may have gotten few more grey hairs along the way. LOL As noted by others the area that was chosen by Chuck was a great choice as there were great roads to ride on & enough local attractions to please most everyone. Best of all the folks who chose to attend this years rally were great company. Its always good to meet new and older VR members at these functions. Bottom line, Thanks Chuck for a great weeks worth of fun. Larry

We arrived home at 6pm. Followed Rags till we made our turn off to our home. Black sky's and some lightning off to the north sure wasn't looking good for a while there but got around all that. As always the WNY gang did another great job putting this rally together. Larry

Jay PM or call me. Your travel plans are matching mine so far. Larry

Prayers up Patti & Don

Happy Birthday Bob. Hope you had / have a great day. Oh yea waking up today, any day is good at this age. Wishing you many more years ahead buddy. Larry

Usually if I know in advance I add what I call a safety bar to the adapter. It simply a 1 1/4x 1/8" flat stock bolted to the left side of the adapter. This then abutts up against the frame ensuring that the adapter is centered on the frame. I'll post a pic after I finish the one I'm building now. Larry

If memories serves me right I think someone who road with @Dragon Rider had one. Could be wrong thou.

Rob while not in the market myself for a trailer like you're building I do enjoy following your build. Same for the hitch you just built. As you know there's always differences in opinions and ways of getting a job done. Anyhow well done so far, Larry

Only one of two laptops would log on thru the modem. Nothing thru Ethernet. No idea why the previous router wouldn't boot up, even with the install disk. Plugged in the replacement router and off & running.

Update But 1st Thanks to all who offered suggestions & help. After several starts & stops and a whole lot of :smash2:and finally I have a good pc system again. The solution was to replace the router. Thanks again everyone, Larry

Yea from pics it looks good. BUT that "T" Top cool will step you back 3k according to their website. Ouch that'll pinch the wallet. Hey Gary glad to hear your enjoying your slingshot. Looking forward to seeing you guys with it sometime. Larry

Prayers offered up for all in the family. Wishing full recovery for Chris. Larry

Bypassed the router. No connection for Ethernet shows on screen. Doing a diagnosis results in a driver problem. No results on auto fix. Where is the driver located? In router or desktop?

Haven't had a chance to hard wire the desktop yet but wouldn't the router be ok since the two laptops are functioning normally?

On the routers I did unplug all cables including the power cable while checking their connections. Even hit their reset buttons a couple times. All nice green lights as they should be. Same at back of desktop.

Looking at my network adapters. Will disabling the nic card work as well as removing it? My pc shows 3 cards--- 802.11n wireless lan card, AARIS touchstone device, & Realties PCle GBE family controller. Clicking on them shows drivers up to date .

Ok today logging in on my desktop all seemed normal but no internet connection when trying to open a web site. Keep in mind the desktop is showing connections at the task bar. The router shows connection with a No Internet above that. Opening my network settings I'm seeing the router connected for my wireless network. Scrolling down to Ethernet network shows no internet. I did a troubleshooting service and got 3 possible fixes to follow. Driver(s) for Ethernet adapter, local area connection adapter, & wireless network connection. I checked all of my pc, router connections. Both mine & Joyce's laptops work fine. Clues anyone? Larry

Heads up for anyone planning on getting a landscape type trailer (or any other type trailer for that matter) for a Hannigan trike. I had a 6 x10 for the Tri-Wing trike but had to replace it with a 6 x 12 when I got the Hannigan trike. Larry

Nice. Have a fun & safe trip.

My desktop is down now too. However it's the monitor that's died. So off to Best Buy this evening for a replacement. Larry

Sorry to hear Eileen's having trouble with aches & pain. Good suggestions from the guys here. Joyce & I did 210 comfortable miles today on the Slingshot. We were in the same situation on our bikes too before making the change to the Slingshot. Larry

My desktop crashed yesterday. Nothing on startup. Hate dealing with this latest problem.

Pm me. I have a couple.

Health issues & the resulting Doc appointments seem to be getting in our way this year. First I cancelled the Root Beer run cause I had my ear operation just 4 days prior and now today cancelled the Ontario Rally due to a Doc appointment Joyce can't miss or reschedule. Also like some others we're retired and have the time but not enough funds to go everywhere we'd like to. Especially this year due to replacing my furnace and ac unit last spring. A double edged sword for sure but such is life. Larry
