Are you using Lexan or plexiglass? Gene

First, if you have your pictures saved on your computer, find them and place your cursor over the the file name or thumbnail. You should see a small window that gives you some small amount of info about the file/pic. This info should also include the the file size in KBs, MBs, etc. Second, if your pics are large in file size, check to see what the file type is i.e..bmp, .gif, .jpg, .tif, etc. BMP files tend to be large in bytes so, you should save the file in a .jpg format and see if that solves your problem.Of course, you could also change the physical size (dimensions) and see if that helps.

Pete, Linda & I are glad that you spent some time with us. We enjoyed your company. I'm sorry that we didn't catch more fish though. I want you to know that you are welcome at my house any time. p.s. I finally got the blood washed off the porch. Gene

Pete, Good to hear from you again! How's your head? Gene

Take a piece of threaded rod (all-thread) and roll it across the foil. Then, roll it again at about a 45% angle. Change the angle and you change the length of the scales. Use larger all-thread and you increase the over-all size of the scale. Gene

Hello Craw Chuck, we missed you at the get-together last month. Gene

I'd just like to wish my good friend, Nathan, a happy birthday! It was great to see you again. Thanks for all that you did. Gene

Well, I've been home for a few days now and I have read all of your posts. I'm like Phil. What else can I say other than I had a great time!! I made some new friends and met some great people, not to mention that I got to see old friends again. Oh, and I learned some stuff, too! When I look back at the "first" TU get-together I remember it was just 4 of us; Coley, Charlie Mitchell, and Jack Long. Coley & Charlie & I still keep in touch regularly and have become good friends. The second TU gathering was three years ago at Nathan's house. We had 7 or 8 people that showed up then. At that meeting I finally met Nathan in person. He and I had known each other since the days of Tacklemaking. He and I have also become good friends thanks to Tackleunderground. A plus to this is that our wives have also become friends. The third get-together was two years ago, again at Nathan's. And now, our fourth meeting. The number of participants just keeps growing. I guess, what I'm trying to say is, that over the years we have all made friends thru TU but there are none more special than those that we actually get to shake hands with. Personalities show through on the forum but true personalities can only be seen when you met someone face-to-face. Nathan is already planning the event for next year. I know it will be bigger and better than the last one. I'd like to see more of you show up next year. If it's too far, plan one that would be closer but, do yourself a favor and attend one somewhere. It will be an experience that you will never forget. BTW, Pete (Hazmail) should be arriving here sometime tomorrow. Gene
