    haha, the old man took a little while to figure out how to do this, but.....here it is :) (truth be told, I had some help from my wife, but don't tell her I admitted that to you)

    On a Mac you can take a screen shot of the map by hitting shift-command-4 which brings up a cross hair pointer - then just select the area you want to take a pic of.

    Not sure on Windows. How did you do it?

    I remember seeing the google map car driving by when I was getting my stacks started. I waved thinking I could check later and see if I was pictured waving.Looks like I turned around too soon!

    Hit the Start button, and search for "Snipping tool."

    uh, I got ah hp g60 laptop here, hit the fn (function) button and the print screen button at the same time, then paste it right in to paint, cropped it a bit, then copied it and pasted it right in here.....

    And it's absolutely ridiculous that Scotty doesn't cover up them stacks in that pic up there ^^^^

    Punching the Print Screen key will dump the screen to the clipboard in Windows. Then just paste it into whatever image editor you use.

    One nice thing about the snipping tool is that it opens it up to save it as whatever file type you want in the original size of what was snipped.

    Thanks for that! I have been copying screen, pasting in paint, cropping, then save file, and 9 times out of ten, I can't remember all steps.

    Was surprised to see they've taken some new pictures. I circled a few wood piles. Not all show up in the Google shot. In this you can also see part of the area we sold off a couple years ago. That is, sold off some pines.

    Old neighbor from when I lived in Rhode Island allowed the local tree services to dump logs in his yard.. Used to drive by slow wanting to liberate some of the logs from their soon to be rotting state. Sad thing was that he did all of his processing about 20 minutes before throwing the logs in the stove.. He could have been like 15 years ahead!!!!o_O

    Bing maps has even better quality 'Birds eye' pics but they are 6-7 years old in my area.


    I was working on the roof when this was taken. My helpers truck is front of my trailer and the staging planks are the back side of the valley -- can't zoom in enough to see if I was on the roof.
