I was trying to lure a chickadee or nuthatch to the deck railing thinking I could still get a fairly natural looking environment. Look who came to breakfast, the little thief. A little sun would have been nice. This is a bit of an experiment. It was quick processed in my basic EOS browser, as I have for all but the last post which was in the Photography Forum. If I would take it to Photoshop to do highlights and shadows, despeckle or tighten the eye I am not able to get a preview, and my post would only show an url, at least on my monitor. Is it because I crop in one program and process in another? It loads to Flickr just fine, and processed this way, it popped right up in the preview.

Did you upload the new version of your photo? The program you use will have no bearing on the ability to post your picture. If you want to post the new version on here go ahead and I will take a look at the post and see why it is not showing up.

I'm no expert on photo quality, but it looks fine to me. Amazing how much stuff one of those blue jays can put in their mouth at one time. Counted 5 kernels of corn one of the local talent flew off with the other day.

Oops! Sorry, I have been away from the computer. I tried the Photoshop version last night and this morning first. I just got the 'preview loading' message. After ten minutes I shut it down without submitting. Same thing happened with the stellar jay, but I did submit that one. The photo showed up on my monitor the next day. I figured someone fixed it for me? I knew I had been able to submit normally before--retirement shouldn't have fogged the brain that badly! Then I realized I hadn't Photoshopped before so I gave this version a try--no problem. Thanks--I'll try it on another photo and see what happens.

Thank you! Don't know that I'm able to tell much difference and it sure is a lot easier. By the way, I have just come to realize what a gem we have in you with your Fencelines. Didn't know if I could respond to the column so I will tell you here.

Birdsong, fell free to reply to Dotch right in the column thread. Helps him know his writing isn't falling on deaf ears. If others are like me, we read each one but often don't comment. I'm sure Dotch sometimes feels like he's shouting into the wilderness. gringringrin

And nice jay!

For sure, always feel free to comment Birdsong, good or bad. It sometimes gives me direction if/when I've strayed off into the rhubarb. If I could display a fraction of the talent some of the photograpers here do including Steve and yourself, I would be dangerous. Appreciate all the kind words here in addition to those I receive on the streets of Bugtussle from the Bugtusslians. grin

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
