Just happened to have my camera tonight....

[Hysyde]

I was looking up at the sky tonight and the sunset picture thread came to my mind and I thought I grab my camera and head down the road and get a good pic from the top of the hill over our corn field.

I didn't get very far when I came upon a police cruiser and some flashing lights. I could see a tractor behind the line up of cars and I pulled over and got out to investigate.

Turned out our neighbour down the road had broken an axel on a full gravity box of corn as he was pulling out on the road and it had tipped over and was partially blocking the road.

Not sure why it broke. It's rated for 14 tons (the wagon) and it only had about 7-8 tons of corn in it. The police were pretty helpful, but since they were city cops they were kind of clueless (they had called for a tow truck for one, when we had lots of machinery around to work it out) and for some reason it took three cruisers and 4 cops to figure it all out. They all seemd to disappear quick when it was apparent lots of shoveling needed to be done. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anyway, here's a few pics.

Here you can see just how far the wheel flew/rolled from the wagon into the field beside the road.

We used the auger and shovels to pick up most of the corn that was still in the box and used the loader and shovels (carefully to avoid getting and dirt or rocks mixed in) to pick up the rest. Overall not all that much corn was lost.

Once the corn was out of the box we chained it to the loader of the Versatile and lifted it back up on it's side. Then we lifed the front end off the ground and pulled it back to the yard off the road. I've got more pictures of mostly the same but none of the salvage and recovery work as I was too busy working. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

First you need some webspace to host your pics on.

Your ISP should provide you with a small amount of webspace with your account.

I just use photobucket.com. It's free and easy.

The rest is simple.

I hope this is what you're asking, and I'm not insulting you by being so detailed.

The rest is:

1. Open one session of your browser for TBN. Click to start composing your post.
2. Open another session of you browser and go to your webpage that is storing your pictures. View the picture you want to link to. Highlight the Address on the Toolbars and hit Ctrl-C to copy the url to the Windows clipboard.
3. Go back to the TBN session, click on the "Url" "button under "Instant Markup". When the dialog box opens, hit Ctrl-V to copy the url in place.
4. When the next dialog box opens, enter 1 to name the first picture.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for additional pictures.
