Nice shots Gregg. Looks like you guys had lots of nice smooth water. Gotta love that.  And all the daughters hanging out with their fathers for the day. Very cool! 8)

OUCH!  Sorry to see that Gregg, have you got another prop?  I'd make you a deal on my Solas Amita 3 13x19P if you need it.   ;)

Wow Gregg, that is too bad. That is the second time this year. If that prop works good, we can find another one just like it. Let me know if you want me to search. Is not that the one I picked up from a neighbor about 1/2 mile away for $35?

Jason might be able to help with Mac info.

Use photobucket or picasa. they automatically downsize the picture. Otherwise I use iphoto for everything. If you use that I can tell you how to downsize and upload the old fashion way.
