Thanks, Bob, for the info. about posting photos. I'll make sure to adjust the size accordingly next time.

A tip for those wishing to post photos ...

Photos of any size can be posted but if your photo file exceeds about 400 pixels wide x 300 pixels high, only a portion of your photo will be displayed within the available viewing window. Before posting your photo, it's usually best to re-size your photo accordingly. If photos larger than that size are posted, slider-bars appear in your message, that allow the viewer to pan to hidden portions of your photo. However, this kind of ruins the viewing experience. This is a limitation of our message board software.

For what it's worth ... Bob Hammett

A great day and a fun contest, Dick. Thanks for being CD.

I sent you some photos via email. I'm going to try and attach one to this as well.

Cheers,
