Scrounger, nice pics. You might want to scale them back a bit. Some of the forum members have dial up internet and your pics are huge and don't load very fast. Your treatment of the pics is clever. If you scale the size back some, you could then raise your resolution and you would still fit their parameters. Keep eme coming, we always enjoy pics. Cheers, Jim

That is a nice load for $260. Congrats, BTW I use photobucket.com for my pics, just upload them there and they get resized. Then copy and paste the IMG code and add to the post like this. HH Mark

Glad you all are too busy, you know what they say about idle hands haha. I just take pics straight from my puter (where they are too big to post as is) and put them in photobucket, from there they are perfect size for posting. Works for ME as I never learned to resize my own pics. There is a website somewhere (I lost it) that a guy makes bridges and towers and such with pennies- is really not as hard (or time consuming) as it looks. That is a 3 span bridge meaning 3 halves will lay side by side between the columns. Took less than an hour- I get wierd when I don't have no coin to play with haha. I made a 4 span bridge once but it almost came down- it sagged to within an 1/8" of the table- I guess halves are just too heavy to go bigger than 3. HH all, Mark

I remember when you first posted this Mark....I told you long ago you were the champ!!!!!! Now quit showing off.....ha! How about some type of tower on the next one??

Scrounger - Very nice haul. I love the road trips. Different scenery.....more relaxing to me......my regular system seems more like work....lol.....same old grind. Road trips are just fun. Speaking of which....I think I am due for one....ha!

I use 'Picture It' to downsize my pictures.

Good luck on the next hunt Scrounger.......
