    I think you are referring to life rafts infested with hornets.
    Correct?

    I'm sure it could mean different things to different people, but I was referring to an STD :rofl: :lol:

    I'm not sure I understand what you are doing with your computer. I use a couple different browsers and when I see a picture I want then just right click on the picture then choose "save as," give it a name (which is optional) and save it. It the picture needs shrinking the I use Paint to resize it. Done.

    "I'm not sure I understand what you are doing with your computer."
    Me either.
    lol
    The pics are on my computer. If I hit "upload a file", it opens my downloads and I select.
    I click "open".....pile too big.

    Where are my options to resize? Do I need to split and stack half and re take the pic?
    lol

    Should I ask for help from Aggregated Ignorance? It's never been a help in the past,....stupid lyin bot!

    seems much easier at other sites.

    Screenshot your pic and post the screenshot. Easy peasy.

    I'm with you on the slacking with splitting. Haven't restocked any of what I burned last season yet. I have tons of wood sitting around that needs bucked and split (locust, oak, apple, hard maple) but still on the hunt for the HD plastic skids I got last year that hold up better than anything I used before. As soon as the temps cool a little I'll get cracking and if necessary I'll just have to use wood skids again.

    ....same stack from the end.

    I was able to take a screen shot from the other forum and c&ped it.
    Now to figure how to take the screen shot from my downloads.......ugh.

    If I had my druthers,.....it would all be red, white, or black locust. This stack is primarily oak,.....like 94%

    Not a fan of the hickory anymore.

    I save the picture on my PC and use paint to reduce it to 20%. I same most of my pictures using Dropbox so not that big of a deal to reduce them. 20260817_201009 small.jpg 20180812_175510 small.jpg
