    MY DIGGING TOOL IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE

    I have a digging tool that has been a lifesaver for my back. I used to use those small shovels you find at hardware stores and building supplies...AMES SMALL OR MINI SHOVEL...I used them for many years and using them always made me feel like my back was about worn out after a few hours using them because of all the danged bending down to dig I had to do. Then I got an Idea. I took one of those sharpshooter shovels with the long narrow blade and cut off about the last six inches of end of the blade. Then I cut the new edge corners off about an inch at a 45 degree angle and sharpened the new edge of blade and sharpened one side edge to use as a root axe or to cut troublesome vines or limbs. The shovel's foot rest is just the right height to comfortably rest my foot on it before plunging blade into the ground. A COMFY DIGGER AND ONE THAT WILL SAVE THE OL' BACK...AND GET THIS, I CAN EVEN RETRIEVE FINDS FROM HOLES WITHOUT MUCH BENDING OVER-HA! SORRY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO POST A PIC...GOTTA LEARN HOW I KNOW.

    Re: MY DIGGING TOOL IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE

    OK i responded to your Pm Ill try to help in here also I need to Know the model Number of your camera so i can look it up a the Kodak site for instructions to help!!!!! Chug!!!

    I sounds like the Kodak program is waiting for you to select the photos and then send them to your computer!! you may want to look at your manual under section called downloading picture to your computer or similar that should help

    when i worked for circuit city selling cameras and computers the Kodak cameras were the most returned cameras they were not always the easiest to under stand to customers especially there software!!!

    You can always take your laptop and camera to the store where you purchased them and see if they can help with this, the best time is when they are not busy, also hint that you may be buying a new laptop soon you will probably get more help that way!!!!!

    Sorry about the delay I went back to work and have been busy!!!

    The link below will take you to the Kodak web site and show you how to download the pictures to your computer, looking at the camera and also the sharing software they use i wouldn't recommend this camera to any one!!!

    Re: MY DIGGING TOOL IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE

    Here goes another try-hope the pic of two of my diggers made of modified sharpshooter shovels show up... well, it worked---I posted a pic but it's so blasted big you have to scroll around to see the dang thing.......someone tell me how to re-size my pics please? this post of my shovel mods looks so dang big it's distorted-ha!!!

    But it definitely shows how I cut about 6" off end of blade WITH A HACKSAW-then cut 45 degrees angle on new tip of shovel on each side and sharpened it all good on grinder...I also sharpened one side edge to use as a bush and root axe....works like a dang machete on vines and stuff in my way too.

    end of handles are just common D SHAPED HANDLES ---ALL SHARPSHOOTERS I'VE SEEN HAVE THIS D HANDLE OF PLASTIC OR METAL...I HAVE ONE OF PLASTIC AND ONE OF METAL...THEY WORK THE SAME...

    Re: MY DIGGING TOOL IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE

    I wonder if the free foxfire program would have picture resizing on it? O r would I have to purchase photoshop program to get photoshop Maybe this kodak program may have resizing...I've never looked to see. LOTS TO LEARN------LOTS TO LEARN. how would I delete those big photos I posted and just leave the smaller resized ones?

    If you have a program to save pics to your computer it should have a resize feature. Monty
