Hi Jaqoin,

I'm not much for chatting, I had ICQ but got rid of it. I am sitting here in east central Indiana, US, early winter Sunday morning and waiting for it to get light so I can work on my kayak in a cold garage. I was looking at a picture of an area in Northern MN., I was in last Fall when I first launched my just finished kayak. It makes me feel warm. There were lots of big rocks in and around the area that banged up my newly varnished kayak and made me a little sick.

Here is the way I post pictures. Click on the LINK and it will take you to Picture Stage, which is a free place you can uplink your picture for storage. There are instructions to guide you through this. Once a picture of yours is in a folder of yours, click on the picture to make it larger. On the left side of your screen you will see a list of things you can do. One is LINK TO AN AUCTION. Click on this and you will see the address of your picture come up. High light this. Then I press the computer keys CTRL & C, at the same time. Now post your message and go to the Optional Image URL below where you see (http://) and delete it, since your new command address will already have this and won't work unless you get rid of it. Now click you mouse in this address area so you mouse marker will be flashing. Now press the keys (CTRL & X) at the same time and the address leading to you picture will fill the optional Image URL box. Now hit Preview Message, to besure the picture takes. If it doesn't, be sure you took out the http://. Also, sometimes you get your picture address posted more then once and again the picture won't work. Anyway, try this and see what you come up with.

Keep warm,
John
