Request a resend. IME zips don't shrink anything or never have for me; they merely compress data. This old Commodore 64 gal cries foul!

I've got the same EE's but not even close to that size. Guess it could be a small head though.LOL

Charles - Hope the B'day gig went as well as the nana meet - it was a blast. Thansk to you and Tammi for all the effort that went into this...
Snookie - Chainsaw huh? I've heard that same comment from my wife..sitting in the shade on the patio with a full belly, dozing was a done deal...
Hope everyone's new pups have a happy home.
You can post some large files by using Photobucket - you have to upload them to photobucket as jpg files- once they are there , simply copy the img url and paste in your nana message....hope that helps.
Happy Digging
Jose

Obviously it was all gone by the time anyone remembered to take out their camera.

There were people that came in from the grafting class that were wondering where did the Boudin go to? I had 2 short pieces, and it was good.. :^)

Thanks again, Charles!

I had an amazing time, it was great to put some faces and names together. You and your family went to a lot of trouble, and I truly appreciate the effort. It was a great day of sharing. I promise I won't be such a stranger, and I've found some Orinocos for you. See you Friday, 10-25!

Russell

I see this a lot. I always fix them on my computer by left clicking and then picking rotate before I post them anywhere. But if they were right on your system, it might not work.

ETA: Opening the photobucket link shows them sideways so you need to correct 1st.

Not me; I don't have the PW for your photobucket account and I'm no hacker.

But I'm glad they're straight! Finally got to see the BBQ device without turning my laptop on its side. Looks like gas to me...even turning it way down and adding wet chips can't turn that into a smoker. Just saying.

Neat water feature, too.

No I use an electric smoker and a cheap one. It is made by Masterbuilt. It isn't as romantic as a wood smoker but its very effective with digital controls and if you control the amount of wood you put on you can get a very good product. It isn't very fancy but I get no complaints from my guest . The grill is just for grilling vegetables. I have no secrets and everyone can have my recipe. It is the attention to detail that makes the difference.

I miss my Brinkman bullet. I had a gas grill for pizzas to die for; I never figured out how to do them over wood/charcoal.

Ummmm When I view them here they were ok, not sideways. I had rotated them upright after taking them off my camera & putting them on my computer. Then I sent them to you...Hope my sending them to you did not mess you guys up.

When I viewed them on my computer they were fine but when I uploaded them to Photobucket they turned and I had to rotate them but after I posted them they were sideways. Then later they straightened up. I have no idea!

Anyone else with photos post them or get them to me and I will post them.

I know there are some more coming in just not here yet!
