I finally get to post picture of me at Brooks lake. Ever since I saw yours, for some stupid reason I wanted to see I was there too!

[ozarkgirl]

So you just go to yahoo (for instance) and type image tree?

And then type really fast all the gobbledy gook to get a picture in there. What if the picture is too big. That's a complicated process to resize it. I had to have my 13 year old help me and it still wasn't easy.

[apackof2]

Oh your pictures brings back memories
I love Brooks lake, isn't it beautiful?!

When were you there?

My favorite Montana/Wyoming hike was by Brooks Lake

Bonneville Pass Trail, Brooks Lake, WY

[ozarkgirl]

I believe it was 2003, maybe 2002. When were you there? I just remember it freaking me out a bit, there were grizzly signs posted all over the place. I messed around a little down by the lake but was afraid to get too far from the car. It is a beautiful area. Lots of Wyoming isn't (high desert) but that area is gorgeous.

[apackof2]

Remember this when she won the gold metal?

Superb!

On the Yahoo page where the search box is,above it will let you choose image.
Click on image making sure the cursor is in the box.Than type in whatever you want to find an image of and click search.It is right next to the blue "web" box

After you select a picture from the search results click that picture.
This takes you to the web page the pic is on.

Right click the mouse on the picture and than left click "properties" at the bottom of the window that opens.
If you know how to copy and paste,do that on the URL address that is shown when you clicked on "properties".
It will also show the image dimensions if you want or need to resize it.

she is really talented.. these young athletes just give their heart & soul to their sport. Must be such a let down to eventually return to the more mundane aspects after their careers competitively are over. sure they coach, perform etc.. but the thrill/agony etc of competition.. wow

[apackof2]

I was were last year, 2005

Afraid?

I guess I am brave or stupid cause I wasn't afraid as I hiked about 6 miles into Bonneville Trail, although I am alert and cautious, i.e , going around bends and by water especially

I should have carried but didn't carry the "bear size" pepper spray
Next time I will

However I did hear a coyote yelping very close to the trail and I picked up a large rock, gathered Maddie and got behind a stand of evergreens

Wouldn't helped much if it was a pack that's why if you want to go where the "wild things" live, you must go prepared and alert

[apackof2]

but the thrill/agony etc of competition.. wow

I know, the look on her face is one of sheer joy/rapture!

WOW is right!

[carlr]

Resizing is easy.I do it like this.

<img src=http://i1.tinypic.com/nzo8pi.jpg width=288 height=216> makes your picture look like this.

[apackof2]

Lots of Wyoming isn't (high desert) but that area is gorgeous.

You're right, lots of Wyoming is desert which I am not a big fan of
Coming from Michigan I like green so I really enjoyed this part of WY

[apackof2]

Don't use the IMG on tinypic use the TAG option

[ozarkgirl]

Apackof2 - But even the high desert in Wyoming can be pretty

Carl - Thanks, Dollycali had written that as well. For some reason it looked complicated. It's just new to me so it feels complicated. I just need to get on my home page and practice so I don't junk up this thread!

[carlr]

Just remember to preview before posting,it will show that a mistake was made,which gives you the annoying little box,

Going out to cut that wood we were talking about last night.

[carlr]

I`m not really into figure skating (surprise right) but she is a pretty young lady.

[ozarkgirl]

Don't use the IMG on tinypic use the TAG option

Okay. Wow!! I tried that and it does all the work for me. However, I still need to figure out where to put the sizing thing in. I will worry about that later. That's much easier!

[Nowhere Man]

About the weather here, we are expecting a cold night. Our furnace is not working as good as it should. I had to hit the reset button once today(I think it just has dirty contacts in the relay) and then later, The blower didn't want to start. I rotated it by hand, it seemed free, and then, after I turned the power back on, the blower and burner started fine, and has been ok since.

We had a similar problem with the small blower motor that comes on to inject air to where the gas jets are as thet heat up the heat exchanger before the big motor comes on. Every onces in a while, it would sieze and finally after oiling it and manually turning it, it ran fine for a while. We had to get it replaced though at some point. Very rarely, there are times I have to reset the furnace be clicking the main power off and on.

Still, I am worried. Nothing like it getting down below 20f. and having no heat in the house. At least, when the furnace does act up, I can usually get it going again, even if only for a little while.

I know what you mean, here in "da Burgh" (Pittsburgh), it is going down to 6 degrees tonite. Talk about a "Three Cat Night!" B-) Usually I do have 3 or 4 cats sleep with me so that is no problem.

About V-day-- I too got several "virtual" valentines cards", from ladies here, and from a couple on CM, too!!

One good thing about it being a weekday, I'm so busy at accounts payable, I was too busy to notice. B-) We've been getting slammered at work a lot and even though quater close is a week and a half away, we are still quite busy, but soon, it will be a circus.

[apackof2]

But even the high desert in Wyoming can be pretty

Oh yes I can appreciate its beauty but its just not my perference, I need GREEN

Outside Laramie, WY

[ozarkgirl]

Very nice, turns that section pink! But yes, I see. I will still need to mess around with the rest and try to post a few things on my home page for practice.

You, apackof2 and Dollycali sure are smart! I am learning alot today!!

[ozarkgirl]

Oh yes I can appreciate its beauty but its just not my perference, I need GREEN

Me too, give me hills and trees anyday. Nice place to visit and love the fact there are hardly any people there. Seems you can drive 80 miles out in the country there and not see a soul.
