Guest Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Is it quiet because many people have other, and maybe better, things to do on the weekend, or is it because much of the posting is done at work? Just curious. We retired elderly pharts have time to waste 7 days a week. hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Just so you don't feel lonely, Howard, I thought I'd reply. Of course, I screw up your weekend formula because I am at the office today! Can't watch my favorite footabll team so I might as well get something done. Have a good one!

Guest Skyking Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 On weekends I usually jump on my computer between meals while working in the garage. I don't have on-line use of a computer in work. During the week I'm on it after work, or before bed, mostly downloading music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Interesting question.Many, but not all, forums slow down on weekends. Maybe it's the subject. Folks could be occupied out in the garage, although we all know they should have a computer out there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Howard, Come on now ! Not all of us old retired guys have nothing to do but phart around on a computer!

R W Burgess Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Quiet, yes, but at my house not the forum. On the weekend, my wife's on the tubes with the redneck Nascar boys, my kids are at school activities or other friends, and me?, I finally have the computer to myself to do as I like. I do my best(?) computer work on the weekend. If I post something enlightening(?), I can hang around all weekend to see how you intelligent(nuts) reply. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm hardly ever surprised. Except one thing. When I posted the Hershey pictures I had to plead with everyone to share their thoughts or experiences at the big show. You guys hiding something from me? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amphicar BUYER Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 As I am on the PC for a living, I rarely fire mine up on weekends. I now have the highest known S/N Amphicar in my garage to finish the resto on. So my weekends are filled with "Weird Harold" the Amphicar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6219_Rules Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I think, in my humble opinion, that postings, like everything else, go in cycles. There is a surge of posting over an event or triggered by something and it generates a cascade of responses, and original thought. Late fall is here, shows are closed, clubs are hybernating planning the spring events, cars are being stored like nuts for the winter...it gets quiet. But there is still people posting, looking for information, selling cars ... doing things they wish to share.It is good to see you posting again, Howard.

Guest Hal Davis (MODEL A HAL) Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I'll admit to using the work computer to surf. I normally get in 30 min to an hour early and take my lunch at my desk so that I can surf. I have internet at home, but it is so dang slow I usually don't bother. I occassionally cheat a little and check in when I'm suppose to be working, but I have to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Ditto to what Amphicar said. I'm self employed - work at home for a living doing computer work. Usually the last thing I want to do is sit in front of the computer too long on the weekend. Only as long as it takes to have my first cup of coffee in the morning.

ex98thdrill Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 You're right Howard, I'm usually off the web on weekends too. My weekend schedule is like this.Summer time - car shows and events.Winter time - out in the shop working on cars.One weekend a month - Wearing a multi colored outfit while making money for working on cars and spending it at Hershey.

JanK Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Same for me. I'm on the computer all week, so turning in on and waiting for dialup on the weekend is some form of torture!However, since I'm the boss, the flunky, the janitor and everything else, there's really no one to question the time I spend on this forum during the workweek.Jan K.Wis Region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 This weekend I will work with my dad to winterize our family beach house on Saturday and rake leaves on Sunday.

Steve Moskowitz Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Randall, now don't take this wrong but you are a sick individual! Love snow, love shoveling? Not on your life. The only time I like it is when it melts! I hope you guys keep all the beautiful snow in your neck of the woods and leave us alone! I am having sooooo much fun myself this weekend. Just got done loading and unloading 1300#'s of shelving for a room here in Hqts. Next, I have to get them upstairs and build ten new racks for storing club items. Such is the life of your new "executive". The phone just rang and I took a new membership, the sun is shinning and it is a beautiful day afterall. I hope everyone is having a great, happy and healthy weekend and while I am at it, Happy Thanksgiving to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Steve, Who's sick now? Have you looked closely at your contract. You're not even techinically on the job yet and you're working 7 days a week. I need to talk to you, son. I know the weather is a lot better in Pa then up North where you're from, but that doesn't mean you have to work all the time. Some pretty weather is meant to be for driving the country side and blowing out the old iron. I said blow OUT, not UP! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Wayne, what contract? Besides, I have nothing else to do! Iron is still in Indiana/Illinois and other parts! Seriously, whether it is Bill, me or the staff, we all put in extra hours around here. It goes with the territory and love of the club. Hopefully, all the early work I get done will pay dividends in a few weeks when my responsibilities will become a wee bit bigger. Now what is really wrong with that Randall guy, I don't imagine YOU have a great love for the white stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Steve, I told a friend last week, "one big advantage to 12 inches of snow on the highway, it keeps the "sunshine" drivers home, so "we" can get our job done without worrying about all the paperwork involved with running over yet another 4 wheeler." <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 You guys should see Alabama Father Ron Barnett here in Cheyenne in the snow. He and Sally are here for a visit and to take care of a little project we had in Salt Lake City. We got back just ahead of the storm, and are now sitting by the fire watching football. Ron is driving Big Red, a humongous Ford 1 ton, crew cab, diesel, duelly ----- with <span style="font-weight: bold">2 wheel</span> drive. We expect them to be here a while before heading back to Alabama. The good thing is that his truck is parked in our driveway, so we only have 1/2 a driveway to shovel. Big Red covers the rest. hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J.Heizmann Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hi, Dan...Just a question...If the Wyoming Winds blow leaves into Nebraska (a reliable source told me that some years ago.), then, the snow eventually winds up on Sharon's side of the driveway in PA. Just a calculated guess...Regards, Peter J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
