get out of resizer and save the picture under another name that has worked for at times although photo bucket is just as easy

[crazywalrus]

quickest and easiest way to do it is this way

1. go into my computer/my pictures

2. highlight the photos you want to post

3. Right click on the highlighted photos and select send to email

4. this will bring up a resize window accept this

5. when the email opens right click on the attached photo and select save as

6. Select another location or change the name and save the photos.

7. these new photos are ready to be loaded no problems.

Cheers I hope this helps. It is often easier for people than using a resizing program

Cheers TEd

ok starts of with a two days before our big annual trip doing the last touches to one of the cars when what do we find in some of the oil drained? one of the teeth off of the front diff . long story short with half adozen trips to just as many wreckers we finally get the new front diff to suit. only to find out that wreckers seem to like tell people its the right part when its not thankfully a mate of a mate knows how to make it all work.

so finally on the road from ipswich a 2pm saturday instead of 5am. but its all good with three whole weeks of fishing and drinkin to come

about three thousand kilomtres, later done in under 48 hours (basically nonstop drivin, when one driver is sleepy we swap over and so on) we are finally there allbeit sore arsed and reel hand itchin to nail that first big one.

we set up camp at king ash bay get the boats in the water and head out (so excited) and half pissed as well gota love it. with not long before dark we decide to go for a quick troll out the front of camp. landing two barra on b52's and getting snapped a few times aswell. great start

the next morning see's us getting out a bit later than expected due to some alchol induced suffering. ( i must mention at this stage that between the two utes whe had about thirty cartons and half a dozen bottles :blush: , smileys indicating the cylce of fun lol).

we decide to head for the mouth of the mc carthur river system and get stuck into it with a bunch of livies and some silver slugs.

[jon]

me with the first dinner time queenie of what seemed like an endless supply of queenies through out the trip most of em were let go. we would only keep fish avery second or third day to stock up our food the rest were released.

[jon]

with the trip being too long to bore you with day to day trip reports ill just thro up a few piccies until we reach the next location

[jon]

mmm gotta love them salmon IMO they are better than barra and i ate those fillets over barra every time

my pb jack at 42 cm

this prawn went out on my hook as live bait and musta been one of the only baits not to get smashed. so not to waste i took him of me hook and onto the fire with sweet chilli sauce and a coldie went down a treat

theese huts are vietnamese pro crabbers who live in the mangroves in theese awseome little huts like a scene from a movie. they barley come on land and head out into the bay every now and then to drop off crabs and get food and fuel from a mother ship.

sleeping and dining quarters

ok guys big apoligies for posting this like three times without pics and that but ive fianlly got the hang of it (duuuhhh) . and will post the next bit soon thanks for reading.

[Dinodadog]

Dino

[jon]
