The Major Report post Posted July 19, 2007 Welcome Mark! Been down in your neck of the desert a few times. Love it down there. Saw my first live scorpion when I was in Tombstone, too bad it was attached to my leg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mbrien Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Thank you for the warm welcome. OK so I am new how do I uplaoad an image here? I see where I can add a URL but where do most of you save your images to? Is there somewhere I can upload my images to? Thanks Mark I reduced the size of your picture so that the folks on slower connections could enjoy it, too. I was going to explain how to upload, but i see you figured it out. It helps the folks on dial up if we can keep pics around 500KB or less, each. ~~Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K-Man Report post Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Mark: I'm fairly familiar with where you're at. Used to live in Huachuca City - went to elementary school there and over in Tombstone (the town "Too Tough To Die" - and to dead to live :biggrin: ). Lived up the road in Benson for a time. Made many visits to Cochise's Stronghold just outside of St. David. Was on Ft. Huachuca many times. Lots of good folks here to learn from, so don't hesitate to ask any questions.

mbrien Report post Posted July 26, 2007 candyleather, It is a second generation Colt Clone made by Urburti. I have another one just like it they fire great and look great as well. Mark Wellcome Mark!What do you have in the pic, a Colt or a Ruger? I like western firearms. HI all Well I have some time to show you some of my other work. This one is a good one that I am very happy with. It is my first attempt at adding designs to my leather. Let me know what you all think. Thanks Mark I changed the .bmp file to a .jpg file and reduced its size for the convenience of everyone with slower connections. Mark, try saving your pics as jpgs. Bmps are usually used for picture quality printers, not website and email formats. I don't want to discourage you from posting your pics- not at all! but we need to be courteous to the folks who pay by the minute for Internet or who have slow dial up connections. ~~Johanna ps I asked the good folks at Mountain Hollow to check out the board, and Tess joined. The railroad spike knife caught my eye, too, probably from living in Pennsylvania for so long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbrien Report post Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks for changing it I will make my images JPG no problem, what size do you recommend for the images?
