Upgrade or... downgrade? Only time will tell.![]()

This thread probably belongs in the Vets forum, but i posted it here so it will have wider visibility.
I continually notice that there are a lot of ECF 'Veterans' still sporting a 'blue name' when you have earned the 'dark maroon(?)' colored name, via your year+ activity on ECF.
I'm sure many just don't care, but others may not know how to change it, since the process is not automatic.
For those who wish to change it (and didn't know how) here's the steps to change it:
1) Click on "Settings" in the upper right corner.
2) Scroll down to the middle left side where you will find the 'My Settings' area, under the 'My Account' subheading, click 'Permission Groups'.
3) Select 'Identify me as a member of this group' on the ECF Veteran entry.
4) Click 'Update display group'.
5) Enjoy your super snazzy new color!
You've earned the designation as an ECF Veteran, now show the forum your true colors!
Deb would tell us both to get lost, sweet lady.
Still shows up on my desktop but doesn't show in the text box. OK, I'll try reducing the size smore. Sometimes with flash pictures I need to do that. Trying again:
Is she cheating on me .. ?? I should have known, go away for a while and what happens .. ?? Sheeesh .. women ..![]()
I'm really not into THAT kind of action ..
Johnny, durn it ...
Willie let's go drink a beer or 8. Sorry Deb it's a Man thing.
Don't know if either of these pictures will post. If not I'll shrink 'em and post again. The pics were sent by my brother to his fambly after completion of the restoration work 4 years ago. I don't know if he's gotten any more clocks done since that time... I think I maybe saw another when I was there at his house for Christmas.I luv ol' clocks! Bought three in Germany and got two to run fer quite a few years. I'll be handin' down three now inoperative collectors items. Just can't find any local artisans to repair 'em, regardless of cost.
Ol' clocks are both marvels and a bane! Thank goodness fer retirement; other dan doctor appointments...


Oh, no. I would never underestimate the ladies. I love you all, and would get my .... kicked if I didn't acknowledge that. women are stronger hen men because we could never give birth. For myself I'll take Deb for a turn arou nd the dance floor and give her a peck on the cheek.Then stand and defend her honor.It' an SCA thing, honor and chilverly. Not to say Willie and I won't share a few pints.

These two found out the hard way.
The other clock is a Tiffany..
Never could afford one of those, nor my HS classmate named Tiffany! Must say both were well made...
