[Charley Lillard]

I know there are a bunch of folks that read the forums that are not members. You don't need a car or to be a member to come to the reunion. It is Labor day weekend and Collinsville is just outside of St Louis. Come and goof off with us.

I am arriving on the 30th for a week as I have a ton of cars and parts to look at but will be at the show all weekend. Looking forward to meeting new members and seeing old ones (old=long term members not age Cumby so relax!). http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif
I was just offered a drivers seat on the 1/4 mile but may pass on that one. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Cool! Just watch your mirror for a Blue Silverado ext. cab when running through St. Lou. They ain't always what they seem to be! Some of them have radar and hidden light bars! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I hear Darren might be bringing something old; something Blue..... and just may be lookin' to make a few 1/4 mile passes as well. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

'Amuseme' Jeff has promised to be there too, but he's lied to me before so we'll see. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Born30YrsLate]

I'll be showing up Thursday night in my '97 Lumina!...

[COPO_Anders]

If that guy from Australia is showing up I guess I can´t claim the long distance price. But I will be bringing my 14-year old daughter, that doubles the distance doesn´t it ? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Anyone else bringing their young ones ?

John from Australia (with all the LS-6 cars) if that's who you are referring to, now owns a house in the Union Grove, Wisconsin area......So his claim to the long distance (if he shows up) would be up for Debate......

You better keep that young lady close to your side at ALL TIMES! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

That's very http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif to hear. Kendall (Bad1racing) brought his family last year and it sounds like they had a great time. Seriously, it's a great atmosphere and everyone is pretty well behaved. Just keep her away from Barnhart; kids seem to disappear when he's around! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Xplantdad]

Yep...it is a great atmosphere...especially talking to that Cumby guy! Here's to you DC http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Edit: By the way...I got the new laptop (Dell- about $450)
and will be able to download all the pics and post every night (If in my advanced age I can stay awake long enough)
barring any networking problems, that is.

If that happens, then I'll be in DC's room using his network http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Yeah, you're just easily fooled! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You're more than welcome to use our room for the downloads. Maybe I can learn a thing or two at the same time. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

So are you bringing Holly?

[Xplantdad]

Not this year...We might do the family thing next year http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

DC, will you have wired or wireless connection in your room? I have to cover all my bases, you know! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I do have high speed connection (wired) in my cheapo hotel room...I just hope that it works! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Seems like it's wired. Never having used it, I can't recall. Hey Charley, can you tell us?

Maybe I'll bring my wife's laptop and you can conduct a seminar? Actually, she will be attending a conference at the Holiday Inn Friday morning when we head to the track so she'll probably have it with her anyway.

Might need some pointers on the new camera as well. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Chevy454]

IIRC, they have both...wireless or hard wired...worst case scenario you could go to the business sweet and upload it on the public pc's...

[Xplantdad]

Seminar on what??? I can do the picture posting thing...I'll be glad to help you with the new camera, too!

I really don't want to bring up the fact that I've spent the last day and a half trying to figure out why I couldn't connect my laptop to my hard wired home network though my router http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Here's what I posted on DellTalk...their customer support forum...

[ QUOTE ]
I just bought an Inspiron B130 Laptop...and received it yesterday. I have a wired router (Siemens 2614...old, I know) and have 2 Dell desktops currently running on my home LAN The main computer is plugged into port one. The second desktop is plugged into port two. Both desktops are running XP home. My problem is that when I plugged the new laptop into my 3rd port...it wouldn't show that there was any connection at all...or that it even recognized that it was there.

So, I did a bit of testing. I took the second desktop computer (which was plugged into the second port of my 4 port router) and moved it to the third port (which was where I tried to hook up the laptop) and the second desktop got connectivity right away. I tried to hook up the laptop to the second port...and nothing. I tried the laptop on the 3rd port again...nothing there!

Finally, I took the laptop to my daughters room, where the wall plug for the second port of our home LAN comes out...and plugged the new laptop in there. I got a connection right away...so, I don't get it?

What could be my problem? I will be using this laptop when I go out of town on business, so I'd like to become familiar with what I need to do to get connectivity. I was able to log into my router last night...but didn't do anything but "reset" it.

One other question if I may...When I initially set up the laptop yesterday, I got a message that there were 4 wireless networks in my area that had a signal (1 bar). Only one looks to be protected. Can someone point me to some good reading regarding setting up a secure wireless network? In the next few months, I may switch to a Linksys 4 port wired/wireless router...but I will not do so until I fully understand how to keep myself protected.

Thanks again for any and all help/suggestions offered.

Bruce

[/ QUOTE ]

And here's what I finally figured out was wrong....DOH!

[ QUOTE ]
Hey, I figured it out...call me stupid. I had the laptop ON while I was trying to plug into the router. Once I plugged everything in with the laptop OFF, then turned on the laptop...It worked! In fact I'm on the internet now on the laptop.

Thanks again for the help Steve! Now to tackle the reason why I can't see any of the other computers on the network. I'm going to check the firewall settings and make sure that file sharing is turned on and go from there.

Putt-Putt...now THERE'S a midwestern term http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

When I first moved there...I couldn't figure out what going to the putt-putt was...

Looking forward to meeting you and your family Kendall! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[DarrenX33]

First timer = James??

[Xplantdad]

James? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[bad1racing]

First timer=James.I hope James is ready for sensory overload.

Putt-Putt=Mini-golf=Minature-golf,it's all the same game.The worst part is that I usually get smoked by the wife at the game because I try to overengineer the shot.I used to have a 9 handicap when I played 2-3 times a week,but havent even put a hand on a club yet this year.The week before SCR9 we are in Cadilliac MI.at a GM Parts Mgrs. golf outing so I guess I should get the clubs out of the basement. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Oh yea Bruce we have trees with branches all of the way to the ground that like to grab up errant shots,unlike the ones by you that only have branches at the top. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Can't wait to meet new members and put faces with names.

Well... plans have changed and unfortunately I can't make it to the reunion.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif that sucks.. For anyone that gets some cool video footage of the drags and the show.. I'd love to buy a copy when you get back. Just send me a PM. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

btw.. there needs to be TWO reunions a year. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

Mike thanks for the offer. But the reason I can't make it is I have family in town from PA and just too much else going on. A few hours in an 06 GTO is tempting though http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif Now I miss the 04 GTO I don't have anymore... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I look forward to the pics and videos anyone has to share of the reunion though http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif
