My point was, given your banishment from the barn, I would personally
be seriously tempted to break ground on my own barn to hold my own
"horses" (the SuperDuty, The General, the M5, and any others that might
come along). Only seems fair to me. And if the money, space, and
inclination was there, you can bet that it would be just as I
described. And that includes the pneumatic lifts. No sense in letting
those tires.get flat spotted. I probably watch too much of the Speed
Channel.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Is this Russ from AZ?

Obviously the misunderstanding was on my part. Lot's of mental activity the
past couple of days and I am just not in shape for it anymore. :-)

Now, because of you guys and your photography skills, I have to go read the
manual for my camera. I've wanted to learn about photography since I was
young, so I may as well start now that I am old.

Take lots of pictures of the opposite wall while sitting there. Have a few
things around at different distances. Try a bunch of different settings.
Take notes.

Good luck!

(I can handle only about 10% of my camera's abilities!)

I really don't "get" posting photos in usenet, when it is so much easier
to simply upload what you want to a photo website, and include a URL when
you want to reference that photo, as in:

One of the nicknames I've been burdened with during my lifetime. There's
worse. The assistant city editor at the Kansas City Star called me
"Moose" because he was a reconstituted sports editor and of course
remembered Ed "Moose" Krause, the ND bb player. But he outdid himself
with a redheaded Irish gal at the paper, whom he called "Scarlett O'Speece."
were you aware that there was a harry krause who played pro baseball
in the early days of the pro sport?
That was me...I'm older than dirt.

Yes, I was.

I was named for an uncle I never met, my mother's brother, who died
before I was born in WW II.
was that the same harry krause?
The same one for whom I was named? :}

That particular Harry, my mother's brother, had a different last name,
silly.


well, you never know - i mean like maybe your mother was one of the
maternal linage types - after all, you did live in new haven - home of
yale and ...

never mind. :)



My mother was a Bostonian. My parents ended up in New Haven because at
the time they moved there, my father was working for his uncle, who
hired him as his Connecticut district manager for the family's little
retail chain.

I was "conceived" in Atlantic City, though. The house my parents rented
for a vacation in 1943 is still there, but, sadly, there is no plaque
commemorating my conception. :}


That reminds me of a story.

While in Officer Candidate School, we were kept on post for about three
months. Finally the time came when we could get a weekend pass, but our Tac
Officer required that we put our request in writing, with reasons.

I wrote that my wife and I were planning to have a baby, and I wanted to be
there for the conception.

I got out.

No. Not that time.

if you want, ill be glad to help with the post processing if you
install paint shop pro x.



I'll take you up on that offer. I still haven't installed it ... it's
sitting here in the box.

Right now I am consumed by transferring the VHS tapes of our voyage to
Florida to DVD. I "think" I did it. So far, so good.

This is a good time to experiment with this stuff. Mrs. E is off in Norfolk
goggling the new granddaughter. Me? I am stuck with taking care of her
dogs, plus my juvenile delinquent, Sam Adams.

what kind of dogs?


She has two.. (count 'em, two) Westies (West Highland White Terrier).
Cute little suckers, but too smart for their own good.

Then, about a year ago she decided I *needed* my own dog. So, I ended up
with Sam Adams. He's a black Lab -- going on 10 months - 90 lbs and a
complete juvenile delinquent. No class at all. He burbs, farts, snores
and basically does anything he wants except listen to me.

sounds like he needs to go to doggie boot camp. ill be glad to put
him through doggie boot camp for you no charge.


Tom, if you can teach him not to burb, fart and snore, then Mrs.E. will pay
you double to send me to your school.


although, for a guy dog, burping, farting and snoring just comes with
the terrority.


Yep. He thinks he's just "one of the guys". I have to admit though, he's
really a cool dog.


i can do something about the listening to you part though. :)


Last night he really ****ed me off. It was the first time I forgot about
the "positive reinforcement concept and just let him have it. He decided
that outdoors was cool at 11pm and would not come into the house when called
for anything. By the time I got my shoes and jacket on I think he was
reconsidering. Right now he's laying by my feet as if nothing ever
happened.

Looks like 512kb is the max size without paying, and 1mb with payment. If
I
have to reduce the size, I may as well use abpso. There I can go up to
1.5mb and it's free!

But keep in mind that anything posted to abpso is temporary. My news server
is showing the oldest post as 1/4. Anything posted to a photo site is
permanent until you delete it.

BTW, when I'm at the office, I don't have access to my (Cox's) news server,
so I'm forced to access Usenet via Google Groups. Abpso isn't available on
Google Groups. Any idea how abpso can be accessed from the web?
