Why is Happy Hour 4:00.........who makes these crazy rules???


Hehe...the local beer store had a big promo on Appleton's so, combined with the weather, it's been a slow weekend for build progress but...

'Tis the season !!! :tipsy: :tipsy:

Even so, I've got a scar on my hand from running a grinder through fiberglass and into the soft bleedy bits: keep 'er safe, chief !
Don't really need to tell you that, though :thumbsup:

Looks like it's going gangbusters - you'll be ready for paint next week sometime ?

Appletons! Good choice :wine:
Brian, re photos. Do you go to your gallery at the top of the typing box or in the light blue bar further up on the right of the screen?
If I want large pictures I use the one in the blue bar go to my gallery, select the picture I want, open it, then click on the url to highlight it, then right click on the url, click copy. Then go back to the reply, click on the place you want the image, click img above the typing box, then right click between ][ and click paste.
I have also used Brads method of resizing and it will work with 1 or 2 photos, but I have also had it reject one on its own. It depends on total file size.
You may already know all this, but I know it took me a while to fathom it out.
:beer: Frank Appleton (!) Yes, that really is my name.

I set the size of picture on my camera and can then load them to my gallery 15 at a time without having to resize.

Just remember, when you go on a trip and want to take nice scenery pics to share outside of the forum, reset your camera to a higher resolution. (When we came back from vacation I found that I had forgotten to reset my camera and was a little disappointed with the resolution.)

But I would never remember all of those steps, without a written card in front of me. :thinking:

Didn't get dirty today!.......Football Sunday. :roll:
But still made some positive steps forward on our build.
Spent some time on the phone and ebay and got some great stuff for Kermit. :thumbsup:
Found a couple of cool Bottle Openers :beer: that can be mounted in the Galley and on the Tongue, even though who have met me know I am always "Packin"! :wine: :twisted:
Bought 3 of the 4 Stainless trim mouldings I was missing (1947 Chev Fleetline) and the new tail lights. :applause:
And the day is only half over???? :)

Yeah, with a splash of coke it's a beautiful thing.
Frank Appleton (!) Yes, that really is me.

Then you, sir, are responsible for some very long Monday mornings...

Pretty impressive that Kermit's still moving forward even though you haven't laid hands on tools all day, Brian :thumbsup:
At some point here, I need an 'eBay day' myself. Those bottle openers are definitely a must-have: there's nothing worse than having to improvise an opener (even used a Sharpie once!). Think I might get my stove that way too.
Too bad I wind up losing so much time when I'm prowling eBay than just about anywhere else except maybe here :lol:

Always loved your trailer! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
And British Racing green has been my all time favorite color for cars!
I think 9 of my first 10 cars were all "Green" :oops:

Hi Brian/Vedette,

I just came across this and thought you'd appreciate it.

http://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/pos ... the-guilty

The website it comes from, itself, has some interesting things too.
