You're welcome, yes just take a random picture and play with it. You can make all these designs you see, straight lines, curved lines, circles. You can cut out a section using the dotted line square at the top, right click and copy, then paste, so you can paste the copied section as much as you want, like the extra tires here. You can click on the little medicine dropper looking thing, then click on any color in the picture and it'll use that color for whatever you're doing. I made the yellow scribble with the yellow off the yellow car. Click on the letter to write dialogue. I learned all this just by trial and error, and i'm sure you can do a lot more with it than I know how to do. Just remember when you're working on a picture you want to keep, if you go to "file" and click "save as" it will save the edited one and keep the original, but if you just click "save" it will save the edited one and the original picture will be gone.

He had lots of adventures, that's for sure. That's a really good book.

I just use the photo program that was on the computer at first, I don't have photo shop or anything. It's called "Paint". I just right-click on a picture, any picture- here's a just a random picture that was on facebook- when you right click you get this pop-up box, then you click "save image". Then this will come up, you can choose where to save it, pictures, documents, desk top, etc. I saved it to "pictures", just click "save". You can also re-name or number the picture anything you want to, to make it easier to find later, especially if you have thousands of pictures saved like I do. You can do that in the box shown in blue at the lower left, where it says "file name". . Then when it's saved you go to "pictures", find the picture, right click on it and another pop-up box opens, click on "open with", another box opens, click on "paint". Then you'll have this screen- Look at the top left and you see "resize"... ...just click "resize" and this box drops down. You can make it whatever size you want, by percentage or by pixels. I'll just do 50%, then click "OK". And here's 50% of original size- You can do a lot more things with this program, that's just resizing, no cropping, writing, circles, etc, but you can do all that too. And you might have a totally different system like Apple, or Linux, or something that none of this even applies to. Oh well.

I was just going to say that the late Clifford Bishop was part of that convoy, he tells about it in this book- I was also going to say that he was still alive and very active on facebook, at close to 100 years old. But when I went to his facebook page to see exactly how old he was I found that he had just passed away, at the age of 99. This is him driving, age 96. https://gofund.me/85156c26 I ordered several copies of that book, gave a lot away as Christmas presents. I ordered them directly from him, but it's probably available from Amazon.

Just click the photo for the link to the rest of the pictures.

Here's what i'm doing, besides taking a break and drinking a beer now- i've posted examples before, but anyhow, here we see in this first photo a tiny little section of this Ford van. That's how big it is on the computer screen, untouched, straight from the camera. You have to shift the picture up and down and back and forth to see everything. Then when I reduce the size to where the whole picture fits the computer screen, you get this. Then I can see what I want to do, get an idea what to crop if anything, maybe take a light pole out. Sometimes it's more hassle than it's worth to try to get rid of a pole, but sometimes it's easy. I just copied and pasted sections of the grass between the van and the pickup when the picture was full size, that way it's barely noticable when the size is reduced. That's why in the "finished product" you don't see any of that pickup directly under the yellow trash can. Then i'll end up with something like this- But I enjoy doing it anyway, it's actually kind of fun. And i'll do that for every picture, all 206 of them. Some are simply just smallerizing and cropping, so it doesn't take long. So if somebody like, say, 1958FWD is walking by waving when i'm about to take a picture I just think "keep walking you jackass, two more steps and I can crop you right out of the picture". 😆

oh, I didn't know that. I'm sure I still have pictures there though.

I'm in Lynchburg now, at Ortho Va. waiting in the car with the dogs. I brought Zina from Gladys up here for her follow-up appointment. She had an MRI here last week because she tripped over a dog and fell and hurt her back. I'll get back to pictures when I get home. I need to cut a tree down, move a section of fence, and strain the wine too.

I'm working on the truck show pictures, I'll post a link when I'm finished and put them on Flickr, or wherever it is I put my pictures. I heard somebody mention Photobucket the other day, I used to have pictures there. I guess I still do, if it's still a thing, but I don't know what my password is. I have to pay for Flickr now anyway, so that's why I use that. Seems to be OK though.

I'm out of likes, so-

We need this. Here's some girl over at Super Dollar in Winfall.

Nice seeing you again, and "facts is facts".

oh...well that doesn't look like a separate engine now. Maybe my clutch is slipping a little bit.

yep, that's all.

They had a little old Jeep there that I walked by in front of several times. I didn't notice until I walked behind it that it had a 3 point hitch attachment on it, then I noticed a separate engine in the back. I was wondering what that was for when I noticed the PTO shaft. I'm kinda slow sometimes. The engine in back was for the PTO. I doubt if you could bale hay or run a combine with it, but a little sickle bar mower or a 4' bush hog would probably be doable. I've got pictures of it on the camera. I always say "I'm not taking many pictures this time, I've seen most of this stuff before anyway". I just looked, 206 pictures on the camera.

He's taking those trucks to Amarillo.

L. to R, Farmer52, HarryS, fuzzy buzzard, other dog.

The best looking B model at the show.

I'll keep an eye out for one.

Sorry Grand Ma, I was trying to duplicate the original picture as exact as possible. It was hard to do. I was talking to Jim Moore and he said it wasn't even me in the first picture, because that guy had dark hair, and plenty of it. And that old dude with the gray hair, what's left of it, looks like he's trying to smuggle a basketball in.

This one's just kinda big- MH Fred, farmer52, and other dog.

These are mighty big too.

A couple of BMT members' trucks, farmer52 and Underdog. Just saw fuzzy buzzard roll in.
