-
Jon, You just missed us.
Gregg
-
Well back in town and ready for a good chat line tonight,should be a lot to talk about. :cheers:
-
Sounds like a plan Glen. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
I'll do my best to join you guys. Been busy lately. I guess the plus side is it's been on the car!
-
Sorry guys, have my best friend going thru the big d and we were out for wings and beers............see how you stand! :cheers: :-D
-
Chat, now! :-D
-
I signed on at 9:34 EDST .... no one on .... did miss everyone or do I have a problem?
-
We signed off just a few minutes ago Joe. Must have just missed you. Dynoroom and I were the last ones on. Steve M. was signed on but didn't reply to us and Rob was on from Oz.
-
Thin crowd, but chatty. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
I logged on early to be there when the chat started, then got busy with kids homework and such, and never got a chance to chat.
-
Steve, we can never spend enough time with our kids. The time spent seems to pay big dividends. Well done, we'll talk to you next week. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-

-
We were on for about half an hour tonight Rob. Sorry we missed you. Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Pete
-
Same to you PJ, it's Xmas eve here and I got side tracked gift wrapping.
Cheers,
Rob
-
That's about as good an excuse as I've heard. Enjoy the festivities! :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Chat line tonight, last one for 2014, we will start a new chat line post for 2015.
-
Damn it ... missed it ... too busy working on the bike. About ready to fire it up.
-
Best excuse I could think of Joe. You only missed Nort, Glen and I so you may have invested your time well. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Sheot! Been busy AND forgetfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think of it about 8PM
-
I thought of it at 5pm MT, by 7pm MT I was with the young bloke at the local library and I didn't give it another thought until I checked my email :-D
-
New Years Rez .... Chat line on Tuesdays.
-
Ok, who forgot to remind me it was chat tonight and that you guys are on DST? :-D
-
Probably me Rob. :| :| :roll:
There was just Glen, Cajun Kid and myself. We had a pretty good chat until I unfortunately had to bail.
Pete
-
:-D Cheers PJ, I got the time change right but in the wrong direction I think. Maybe next week mate.
-
We always remember it with "spring ahead" and "fall back". If that sticks for you maybe it'll help you with North American ideosynchrosies. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Chat, tonight... for me too if I remember :-D
-
I can't log on for some reason.
-
I'm on but no one else is there Glen, sometimes it takes a while for Java to kick in once the page starts to load.
http://client0.sigmachat.com/chat.php?id=123857
-
Rob, still trying 7:10 here.
-
It's blocked on the web page. I did Java updates and they are ok.
-
maybe next week.
-
Yup can't get in. Time to go back and look for a chat that is not steam powered. :-(
-
Glen made it, Joe (55Chvr), Charles (Cajun Kid), PJ and of course, yours truly. We just quit now.
-
I cannot log on the chat line,getting a message that the JAVA thing is not supported. If you all can log on have fun. :dhorse:
-
Glen, I just tried on my PC and got in faster than I have in a long time. Try again closer to chat time.
Pete
-
So a few days ago I sent Bob (web elf Bob) a note about the hassles youse guys are having with the chat line. Here's what he said back to me after researching:
"I contacted 1and1, they didn't have any chat or recommendations, but I did find one that recommended 1and1 as a host, so it should be compatible. I'll check that one out. It's a case where you buy the software, another option is to have someone else host it for a few bucks a month.
B"
1and1 is the host for this entire website and Forum. If things continue to work well (as PJ just reported) and not be ugly (as Glen mentioned earlier today) we'll stick it out. If it all goes to he** in a handbasket -- let me know and we'll opt for another chat room source program.
-
Joe and I are both on now, had to do yet another Java update first though.
-
I got on last Tues. Just ignored the java update and logged on.
-
I don't download the update .... just "run" it.
-
"This plug-in is not supported"...O Well
-
Blocked Plug-In
(Maybe they know me.)
-
Worked fine for me. I am running Firefox
-
I did the latest Java update a couple of week back. It's a little slow to load but once in works aok. No Glen this week but Cajun Kid, Jessechop, Chv55r, PJ were there.
-
And you missed HB2 Rob. He left just before you came on.
Pete
-
Chat was a lonely place tonight. I stayed on from the top of the hour until ten past then signed on a couple more times in the next twenty minutes. No one was there. Hope to chat with a few next week.
Pete
-
Damn, no one bumped this post and I forgot.
-
Unfortunately Rob it only gets worse as you get older. Guess how I know! :-D :-D :-D :evil:
Pete
-
I try to think of it as "funner" rather than worse, helps me to maintain a healthier mental altitude :-D
Ed
-
I missed our regular chat. The damn job keeps getting in the way of racing.
Joe
-
I was busy with other stuff.
:cheers:
-
I haven't been on in quite a while. Been working like crazy on ole Hank.

Chat line tonight.

Same-'ol Blocked Plug-In.
Still knows me.
-
Stan, you need some 10-12 year old kid to come over and sort out that issue. :roll: :roll: :evil:
Pete

I'm not allowed to have anyone under 18 on the property.

Yea, Freud said it was a condition of your parole... :evil: :cheers:

Chat in 5! :-D
New non-Java chat room we are currently trialing (and it's good!)
http://www.landracing.com/prochatrooms/index.php
-
I missed the call. I was invited to the Yankee/Phillies game. Painful to sit thru a good old fashioned asswhooping. Should have stayed home and joined the call.
Joe
-
It's easy on and fast Joe. I think you'll like it. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Ok, we've switched..... the new room is at:
http://www.landracing.com/prochatrooms/
... and you can register anytime, then join the party Tuesdays 7pm MT.
It's non-Java (!) :cheers: and I really think you'll like it.
-
Looks great so far.
-
How the hell do you get on there. I can't register because I guess I'm already on here. I can't log in because it tells me there is something wrong with my user name. So for tomorrow night. Hi guys. Hope all is well. Bonneville soon. Looking forward to it. See ya.
-
Shoot Bob a PM Nortonist but in the mean time you can log on as a Guest. I registered with the same name and no dramas but I know Glen had an issue initially.

So far 15 have registered, and Glen's on there too. I'll PM Mr. Nortonist.
-
It wouldn't accept "Peter Jack". I had to make it "Peter_Jack" before it would let me in. It works really well once you're in.
Pete
-
I was able to register ... not difficult.
Joe
-
Sure glad it worked for you. I'm still in the wilderness. Had an email from Bob. Just waiting to hear back.

Turns out spaces are not allowed in your name! Peter Jack figgered that out.....
Either squeeze 'em out, or use an underscore ( _ ) or such. I'll see if I can get a note on the login page, save some grief. Y'all are the guinea pigs here...... :-o

It was fun having you on with us last week Bob. Feel free to participate anytime.

Great! I probably missed it all (yup, I did), I was microwaving dinner and our newly-remodeled kitchen microwave closet micro-shelf came crashing down, taking the whole cupboard with it, lots of breaking glass, with me holding a 50-lb microwave trying to minimize the damage.
It ain't easy being an elf. :-D
-
The new chat line is bitchen, easy to use and fast, Thanks Bob for all you did to fix this issue,
-
CHAT LINE tonight 7:00 PM MT.
-
Oops, forgot. Hope it was good.
-
I was late but two of us chatted for half an hour. Apparently there were a few more on.
Pete
-
It's got lots of fun stuff, you can make sounds (that's good for hours of amusement), change the font and holler, ring a bell....
-
I like how the door slams when you leave! :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
I see we have a new chat! Torins baseball season is over so I have Tuesday nights back.
-
We'll look forward to it Trent. You can easily register anytime, then sign on is quick.
Pete
-

My speedtimer.gb emails on the new computer but still tryiny to transfer from old PC.
-
Got on just as you left Glen but no one else was there.
-
quick conversation tonight ...
without you there was nothing to talk about!
-
Hah! :-o
I was hanging fibrous cement by myself, kind of keeps your attention concentrated in the one spot.
-
Lets try to get a few more on the live chat tonight. The new chat site is easy to get on and 100 % better.Hope to see you tonight. :cheers:
-
CHAT LINE TONIGHT :cheers:.
-
chat line tonight,
-
I'll do my darndest to be on tomorrow guys. It's been awhile. I'll be out in the shop doing a side job for a friend. Apparently a TH350 doesn't like being put into gear when the engine it's attached to is turning about 5k rpms...
-
Just don't make 'em like they used too!!! :roll: :roll: :-D
Pete
-
Stayed on the chat line till 18 minutes after the hour. No one else came on. I think a lot of people just need a little time off to regain their enthusiasm. Have a great week everyone and we'll catch you next week. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Chat line at 7:00pm tonight

I came back at 7:40. Nobody home. You guys don't have much to say.
-
I looked down to type a reply and both Sum and Glen left. It was good to chat with you. I hope you come on more often. I really enjoy some of your projects.
Pete

Heck, even I popped in for the 1st time in a couple years.
RichFox had just left.

Nice chat in the end with Hoss, RichFox and HS.
Cheers fellas.
Rob
-

I got in at 10 past the hour and there was no one there. I had some stuff that needed completion so it was probably a good thing! :-D :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
May have got'n fired up a little late tonight, but it was fun. Thanx to all. :cheers:
-
Chat now people.. PJ and I were early birds :-D
-
Chat line tonight, lets see how many show.
-
Did chat die early? Phone rang, I came back and nobody was still on :dhorse:
-
Looks like we all got phone calls,,,,, popular bunch.
-
No chatters?? It's ten past the hour and I actually remembered....
-
I logged on just before half past the hour and Rob had just left. I got on just in time to hear the door slam. Those sound effects certasinly add emphasis. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
I saw you in the driveway PJ, darned late commers :wink: sorry mate.
-
Dec. 15 Chat line tonight.
-
January 19,2016 CHAT LINE TONIGHT 7:00PM :cheers:
-
Just to clarify, that's 7:00 mountain time. It's been pretty lonely since before Christmas. I look forward to a few of the ol' regulars turning up. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Missed it again I'm afraid, was over cleaning out dad's garage for mum in 40'C + temps, chatting online in the AC would have been nice!
Probably miss next week too, last day of school holidays for the protégé so we need to do something special!
Cheers,
Rob
-
Unfortunately you missed a good one Rob. We had a bunch of guys who haven't been on forever. The really good thing was they all appreciated how much easier the new site was to use.
Pete
-
Chat line tonight,last week we had a good turn out,lets try tonight.
-
I should see you there Glen. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Chat line tonight.
-
Sorry guys, I had every intention of getting on tonight, but the foot of snow in my driveway had other ideas.
Figured I better get it plowed because if momma got stuck in the driveway again this morning, I may be sleeping out there tonight.
-
Feb 9 2016 no visitors on the chat line tonight.
-
I was on for about ten minutes starting about ten past the hour and no one appeared. JDincau showed as being on but he didn't respond to my questions. I wondered where you were.
Pete

It's pretty hard to come up with a better excuse than working on the car Ben. :-D :-D :-D

Well it could have waited... but when you've got parts there.... I just kind of start to forget about everything else. I should have done laundry tonight... so it'll be holy socks to work tomorrow. I would buy some new socks but... I'm a bit over budget this month... just a little.
-
Ben, here's a new habit - if you don't already sorta do it:
When you think you're done wearing a sock 'cause it's so holey -- toss it in the rag drawer. They work okay as rags, but when you're desparate 'cause you haven't done the wash in a long time -- you can still wear the clean ol' rag/sox. :-D

You know wool makes a shitty rag. Ask me how I know! But worn out jeans work real nice, but I end up making char cloth out of them.
My habit for rags is to stuff both pockets full and walk out the shop door. :D. I do bring them back, eventually.
-
Yeah, and that's how we collect cool glasses from bars and clubs, too. But - I wear cotton socks. I can see where burnt woolen sox might make for an unhappy moment or two in the shop.

Cotton socks Fiat my feet up. They'll be cracking and bleeding inside of a week. Never have that problem with wool. I have no idea what's up with that. I just wish wool socks weren't so damn expensive.
-
Chat line Tuesday. :cheers:
-
Just got out of the shop. Rush job came in. Won't be able to make it tonight
-
Chat, now.. I remembered :-D
-
Sure would like to see a few more on chat tonight. See you there! :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
I won't make the chat tonight. I hope there's a good turnout. If you're not chatting your missing out on meeting and talking to a lot of great people.
Pete
-
I didn't make it as I was working on the 444 car.Maybe next week.
-
Was sanding ceilings, I'd rather have been chatting! :|
-
Can't make it tonight, have to go to a meeting. Have a great chat. :cheers:
-
Rob, I gotta ask something. If you're sanding sheetrock that's on the ceiling but you're in Australia when you're doing it -- don't you have to kinda stand on the ceiling, which'd be the floor, right, and sand where you're walking?
You are upside down there, right?
:? :? :?
-
Hey Slim,
Does a bear sh.. oh wait, wrong dilemma. :-o
I guess it all depends upon your point of view :-D, regardless, you still cop a dusting... none of that fancy vacuum long pole electric stuff here, just elbow grease and sand paper thanks.
There is definitely something to sprayed finishes there vs smooth here when it comes to finishing. I spoke to a sheet rocker in Az when I was there a couple of years ago and he was horrified by what he called "smooth wall".
In other news, I got on late but chat was good with the usual suspects inflated with one or two newer recruits. Joe fell asleep at the keyboard, PJ had to leave early and so it went.
Cheers,
Rob

:? :? :?
-
I've done sheetrock more than enough times. And since I'm tall I get the upper and ceiling surfaces. And I'm just able enough that I start kind of poorly - but by the time the job is completed I'm all the way back to not too bad.
Nah, I'll leave you in your (own) dust. :evil:
-
Chat at the top of the hour. Look forward to seeing a bunch of you. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Just me and Peter tonite.
-
School holidays for the next 2 weeks here, spent time with the protégé instead.
-
That's time well spent Rob. They grow up fast.
Pete
-
Definitely PJ, he was born yesterday and is twelve today! :-o
-
Geez Rob--Mine was born just a couple of days before yours and she`ll be 18 next month!!!
-
I hope you have a suitable large bore rifle for the suitors Paul! :-D
-
I won't be on tonight. I have another commitment with a good friend that I haven't seen in a lot of years. I hope everyone has a good chat!
Pete
-
Looks like another no show tonite. I gave up after 20 minutes. Maybe next week.
-
Daylight savings messed me up, didn't realise the time in the US meant 11am for chat in eastern Oz. :|
-
PJ that was a pain in the with the kids playing.
-
I just signed on and you left.
Was it something I didn't say? :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
I just signed on and no one was on ... I was loading trailer to leave at 0500 for Maine
-
There were some kids got on Joe and just screwed things up.
Glen and I bailed.
Pete
-
next week ... Same bat time ... same bat channel
Joe
-
Damn, missed again
-
You didn't miss anything tonight Rob. We had some uninvited guests that completely ruined the session.
Hopefully there's a way of barring them in the future.
Pete
-
There is a ban feature PJ but it's not available to the average chatter.
-
CHAT! I remembered, Glen, PJ and myself are in there now.
-
New computer here, what is the link again?
-
Home page, right hand column.
Mike
-
Doesn't let me log in
-
It should Trent. It was a little challenging at first but once I sorted it out it's worked well.
Pete
-
Seems Glen and I synced our clocks an hour late so we're chatting now. :-D
-
I've only got one more night class to go and I will be able to join in again.
-
We'll look forward to it Dan.
Pete
-
Tuesday nite chat line tonight.
-
Got booted, software issue
-
Didn't get the memo in time :|
-
Chat line in one hour.
-
Same as last post, CHAT LINE tonight 30 minutes.
-

Pete
-
Damn, was tiling again. I need to mix smaller glue batches :-D
-

-
I just went on as Glen slammed the door leaving. Sorry I missed you Glen.
Pete
-
I missed you both
-
It sounds like it could have been a good nite! :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Came on a little late, nobody around so I kept going, figured it had been an early one.
-
Damn ... I had some good stuff to kick around too.
Joe
-
Everyone must be headed to SW. Have a safe and fast time everyone.
Pete
-
I wish PJ, had visitors which was better than watching the Olympics...
-
Page wont load for me
-
Where are you PJ, it's old home week in chat! 5 there atm.
-
I got buried in other projects and didn't realize the time until I was an hour late. I'll try not to miss next week. :| :| :|
-
PJ, sorry we missed you tonight.
Charles
-
Thanks Charles. I hope you're on next week. Really sorry I missed you.
Pete
-
Chat line tonight.
-
And I'll be there. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Got on and both Glen and Joe bailed out, guess I need new deodorant or maybe a new watch :-D
-
Rob ... working the Model A Ford Coupe ... it sat for 10 years and it is time to get at it.
Joe
-
And I left a little earlier. Trying to keep customers happy. Sorry I missed you Rob.
Pete

Glen and I were on for about 20 minutes. I was under the weather so I quit early. I slept a bunch more and that seemed to work.
Pete

We will chat again tonight, join us 7:00 PM Mountain time. :cheers: :dhorse:

Pete
-
Chat line tonight 7:00pm Mtn.time. Back on standard time.

Looks like you checked two hours early Rob.
Pete
-
Chat starts in a bit over an hour. I'll try to make it. I'm just heading out on a parts run.
Pete
-
It's Tuesday and chat line tonight
:cheers:.
-
I should be there Glen.
-
I've been missing in action for the last couple of weeks and I may miss again tonight. Hopefully there have been some good conversations going on. I'll try to make it next week.
Pete
-
Chatting now, just Glen and I so don't be shy.
-
Coaching baseball and will be tied up 4 nights a week for the next 3 months! DOH!#@&!

We'll miss you Trent. Have fun with the ball! :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
chat line at 7:00 pm tonight Mountain time.
-
I should make it tonight Glen. I hope to talk to you then.
Pete
-
Glen, sorry I missed you last night. Been getting ready for an audit at work. Should be on next week.
-
Chat.. Now http://www.landracing.com/prochatrooms/
-
Tried the last 2 or 3 weeks, anyone chatting anymore?
-
I was on 6:05 to 6:30, first time in ages, Glen, Olepaw and PJ were on
-
I get on when I remember what day it is :-D
-
Been on chat a few times but nobody's home. Same for tonight, dead as a door nail. Where'd everyone go?
-
I was on for the first half hour Rob and I left Glen and Nort still chatting. You do realize that North America is changed over to daylight saving time, don't you. We try to keep things as confusing as possible, or at least our politicians do. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
Yes PJ,
I set an extra clock on the 'puter for US mountain time so it should update automatically as required.
It said 7:02pm when I logged in today, then I came here and posted, went back and logged off. Maybe I needed to hang around longer for someone to turn up.
-
I was on last week exactly 2100 EDST. Site indicated Glen was on but then he disappeared.
Joe
-
wont accept my password
-
I got on, nobody there so left.
-
I was late ...
-
wont accept my password
I log on as a guest these days because it wouldn't accept my password after I changed computers.
Pete
-
I got on, nobody there so left.
I was late ...
I was on for the first 20 minutes but was somewhat distracted. I didn't see any sign of anyone else logging in. I'm not sure but I think if you've logged in and out it should show on my screen.
Don't give up. I enjoy talking to you guys as does Glen. He's a little distracted this week. Their car sounds to be running well.
Pete
-
I just got called out. I hope everyone has a good time reviewing Speedweek this evening. I'll talk to everyone next week.
Pete
-
I was knee deep in concrete :roll:
-
I was knee deep in concrete :roll:
That's okay as long as you didn't get dropped in a large body of water after. :-D :-D :-D
Pete
-
There's more chance of being dropped in a fire here than getting wet PJ, we're in a serious, farm killing drought though they do predict a deluge come Friday for the eastern seaboard. :|
