Newell.... Live it up , this not a dress rehearsal . Thanks for the reminder I sometimes take things way more serious than they are.... Thanks again. Ron. Dauntless.

Hello,
I figure eventually I'll make an electric hitch dolly to run the boat into the slot………...

Don.... I have a pull through shop/garage , so that part is pretty easy Moving the Mac where it belongs was My problem , until I remembered My Mothers old handicap scooter I brought home after she passed away ....charged it up...aired up the tires , pulled the seat off ,ground the ball stud to where it would fit in the square post. works like a champ I see these things in the free papers/want ads etc for not too much money , it sure saves My back Good luck. Ron. Dauntless.

BTW.....How can I post pictures on the forum Ron.

RON,
you have to upload your pics to a server like photobucket etc. Then copy the photo's link and paste it into your reply here. I think there is a "sticky" message with how-to instructions.

If you don't want to create an account with a hosting service, you can just go to http://www.tinypic.com and upload one photo at a time. No account needed.

It'll give you the url complete with image and /image codes on each end. Copy and paste directly into the body of the post and hit preview to see if it looks ok. This site puts up small previews in your post that will expand to full size when clicked on - a nice feature that keeps the bandwidth low for those with slow connections.

Well..... Lets see if this works. [IMG]://i59.tinypic.com/5xoaya.jpg[IMG] Ron.

You left out some of the url, particularly the "http" before the colon. Also, it works best when you leave a blank line before and after the image line, like this.



Better?

Oh, and upside-down is a bit of a challenge, but you're getting there.

Edit: Hit the 'quote' button in this post to see what the line is supposed to look like.

Before submitting to tinypic, open the photo in Microsoft Office Picture Manager, or any other program that lets you modify photos, and rotate it, then save it right over the original. You can also change the size, but this forum will scale it to a nice preview size anyway, so often I don't even bother to resize for posting here.

Photobucket, and presumably other hosting sites, lets you edit right in their program, and even change a photo you've already uploaded, but if you don't want to get involved with creating an account anywhere, tinypic is pretty good. I still use it a lot for a quick pic that I don't want to have in my albums on photobucket.

Only downside is that once you get the url for a photo from tinypic, which is random gibberish, it's impossible to find it again unless you record it or go to a forum post (or email, or whatever) with that pic in it, but on the other hand, because it is gibberish, it's not as easily (or even possible at all) traceable back to you like photobucket is.

For those who want to view these pictures right side up without turning their monitors upside down, you can switch the viewing by pressing [Ctrl] + [Alt] together and then hitting the [down arrow]. This will flip the view upside-down. To undo this, just pres [Ctrl] + [Alt] together and then hit the [up arrow].

I learned that recently as part of an office April Fool's prank.

That trick only works with certain display adapters.

However, if you want a quick way of responding to a post, just Hold Alt and F4 keys.

Thanks for all the advise Y'all I thought that went a little too smooth .....I didn't see the upside down part coming at all I will pay more attention next time Hope no one got a crick in their neck looking at the pic Ron.
