Lookin' good Drew. Nice plays! Batter up...Newfie... :smiley20:
Hell yeah. I'm in New Brunswick right now but will be home weekend coming. The package and I should get there pretty close together.Quote:

Great pics. :smiley20:
I love that sign, but I think the horse and the cow are ganging up on the sheep.:smiley3: :smiley36:
Nice pics - still can't get over that y'all still do fur trapping - seems like something out of history...
Drew, how 'bout a pic of that deer with a bajillion points??
Actually I forgot to take that one with the digi, but it is on the cam in the pass.Quote:

OK, Mauied, if this is OK by you, I'll send it Saturday the 12th from Motown. Sound good?Quote:

- Box exterior - no visible damage

- P&T Log, pens and beads - Check (more on this later)
- Tupperdor with sticks - Check (more on this later too)
I spent quite a bit of time chatting with mauied about the things below:
I'm going to redo the list of puts and takes to keep the numbering sequence in order so there are no reused numbers. I will also add the 5 Puts & Takes someone left off the list.
There are 2 damaged cigars. One had a pretty badly damaged foot with 3 splits, the longest being about 3/4" long. The other has some splitting and unravelling of the wrapper starting about an inch from the head, and going for about 2 inches. I'll not list what cigars were damaged to protect the innocent, but mauied knows which ones they are and I'll be replacing both in kind.
As for my puts and takes, I haven't quite decided as yet, but suffice to say the WOAM basil left as # 25 will find a home in my new custom birds-eye maple humi!!:smiley41:
As previously posted and agreed by the host, this package will be on it's way to Bkcloud114 Saturday via USPS Priority Post and I'll have pics taken and posted by then.
Well, it's midnight and 5:00 comes early, so ............
:smiley43:
COOL, my 700th post!!
Thanks Newfie for the update, inspection, and for replacing the sticks... and updating the log... and just for the conversation... :smiley20:
If those following could number up (e.g. 26, 27, 28...) instead of replacing the numbers, I think it'll be easier for the next guy reading/editing the log.
Looking forward to see your p/ts newf!.
No problem Paul, you're welcome.Quote:

PHUCK. I know I posted my P's & T's last night and it ain't there.
OK, here we go again:
Take # 1 - #16, Rocky Patel Edge Toro
Put # 1 - #37, Carlos Torano Virtuoso Crescendo
Take # 2 - #25, AF WOAM
Put # 2 - #39, Ashton VSG Illusion
Take # 3 - #32, Rocky Patel Edge Torpedo
Put # 3 - #38, Padron # 6000
Take # 4- #33, AF Hemmingway Best Seller
Put # 4 - #40, Cuesta Rey Pyramid #9
I had posted earlier that I would be replacing the two Edge because of damage. I must have gifted them in a gift pack as the only ones I have left were gifted to me, and I won't put those in. So as you see above, I put alternates.
This is my first box pass, hence my first go-around at this. Please let me know if these are OK, it'll be in it's way to Binghamton, NY tomorrow!!! I'll post pics later tonight too.
The box went today via USPS priority Post. Now, if I could find the slip in the Jeep, I cound post the DC#.
Tommy, you should see it Wednesday.
I'll post my pics later on. I can't find the USB cable for my camera, so I'll go to work to use the card reader on my lap-top.
Just posted the updated pass/cigar information. HUGE props to Newf for the reorganization, numbering, excel-file generating, BOTL-being effort. :smiley20:
DC # for the box on it's way to Tommy is 0306 0320 0000 0222 5557
Where are th pics? :smiley13:
I was kinda hoping nobody would notice!!:smiley9:Quote:

I heard Canadian's were lax about it, but to have a father condone weeding... :smiley8:Quote:

The second one is a part of the town's history. Some of you may remember in history and the Battle of Lake Erie. Well, the British Naval Fleet
was based in Amherstburg, and this is part of the park that remaons. It's the navy Yard Park, and many original buildings exist, or damn close
recreations thereof. In this one, it's taken looking west, past an original cannon, through the park and towards the river. The stone & mortar
& iron fence are apparently faithful recreations of the original. I took a couple of more here (really beautiful area) but because it was into
the setting sun, they got jacked up, even with the digital. If I remember correctly, the 2 pics I took with the disposable were facing more towards
the south, so the sun shouldn't have affected them.
http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...irginPass2.jpg
OK, this looks like a good place to ask for help with imbedding pics.
Both pictures are 776x582. The top one is 118K & the bottom one is 190K. Why can't I make them so they're the same size here, and why does the top one (technically the smaller one) always appear bigger?
Nice pics. I was up at the park several years ago (I think my 30 year old son was about 12 - damn!)Quote:

If you have a large picture with the same or similar colors and areas, it's going to be smaller than a small picture with lots of complexity in it. The simplest explanation is to imagine a picture with no detail and all one color. The algorithm only has to record the one color and a repeating pattern (i.e., where do I start this color and where do I stop it), while a picture of a complex mosaic, say, has to not only have the multiple color information but also a lot of repeating and position information in it. Your second picture is much more complex than your first one. This is oversimplified, but you should get the idea. Hope that helps.
I'll take that as a no, that I can't make 'em the same size!!Quote:

OK, now they're the same size. WTF happened?
Actually you can with a picture editor, but you will lose quality. Just do a resample on the picture and tell it what size you want. Most will let you enter in pixels or inches.Quote:

OK guys here it is.... this picture is of a local nastalgia. Binghamton, NY is known for it's Carousel's. This Carousels and the Bandstand in the back was made famous by Rod Serling, the creator of The Twilight Zone. the episode it was in was "The Walking Distance". In the center of the bandstand is a plague dedicated to Rod Serling. Rod Serling was born in Syracuse and spent all of his childhood in Binghamton, attending Binghamton High School. He later retired and passed away in Rochester, NY.

The next two links are from the inside of the Carousel. The first on is my pic.... the second one is a scene from the TV series.... I couldn't find the exact horse in the TV shot. People were looking at me strange because I had a camera taking pics of the horses.
First Link
Second Link
The next link is a sign from inside the ride. E.J. Shoes was one of the big businesses located in Binghamton along with IBM. One of the founders of EJ Shoes vowed that no-one would be denied a ride on the carousel. So he bought them and made all of the rides free... price of admission- a piece of litter.
Next Link
My next picture is what happens when you take a boy from the city and put him in "the country"... next year I am hiring a landscaper !!!

As soon as I have it packaged up and sent out I will post the DC #......
