Looks like things have slowed down here lately time to post anything as we don't want to fall into that "Inactive Social Group" status or we might be in the Boss's sights.
I noticed it too Jeff and not just here but on other forums as well... not sure if it's the time of the year, the economy, or what.
I check in here multiple times a day but don't really have any updates to post. Too cold in the garage and too many other inside projects getting in the way.
Posted a new thread, I am still having trouble with my pictures being too large for some reason. I am not a computer whiz when it comes to the internet but I guess I can stumble along! Thanks for watching out for us Jeff!
nosford...........easy way to resize, ***uming your pics are on your computer, and you're running windows: Select the photo you want to resize, then right click. A menu should open asking what you want to do...select "open with"......... and then select "paint". (It should already be on your computer if you're running windows). When the screen opens look at the top left area and you'll see an option to RESIZE. When you click on that, the dropdown menu will show the pic @ 100%. just change those to a smaller % and enter. You'll have to play with the numbers for your particular pic sizes, but I normally do 50%. Keep in mind when you reduce by 50%, you're doing it both left-right and up-down, so the new size is actually about 1/4 of what it was. When you hit "save", it is permanent, so if you want to keep the original pixel size, but make a smaller copy, hit "save as" instead, and it'll keep both.
Yeah, pretty much my story too, those #@$# inside/other projects. The fun to do's, get put aside for the need to do's that get put aside by the have to do's that get put aside for the immediate do's that get put aside for the emergency do's that **** up all the money for the fun to do's. I'm starting to forget how much fun this build is.
I use a digital camera for any pics i download here and other places. I set my camera to 3 meg and i never have a problem .with it being too large
It's slow time of year right now. Not much going on up here in northern Michigan, just too cold to do much in the barn and outside is snow covered. Had a guy looking for some parts I probably have but the '56 parts car is buried in snow. Next year I hope to get rid of it and 2 other parts cars, I hope to salvage what I can and will s**** the rest. A '53 Customline and a '54 Crestline. Grandsons want to help me pull parts from them.
i check in on a daily basis but really have nothing to add...i am currently rebuilding my jailbar pick up but even that has come to a halt...unlike you guys freezing your buts off we are having temps in the mid 40's Celsius or around 113 deg f in your lingo....so i am having trouble with bog going off before i get to the job. once this is finished then hopefully it will be on to my vicky or mainline ute and then i can contribute something worthwhile.....stay warm
I usually check daily and see now action so o go to the main board. I can start some post though. I’ll try.
