been having a hard time to figure out how to resize pictures

Take yr pics with the highest resolution you can...at least 800x600 if yr cam has that. Once you dump the pics to yr computer, you can right click and select properties. If it's less then 150Kb, you can post as is. If it's larger, you have to resize. Go to www.irfanview.com and download their free image software. Open the pic with Irfanview, then go to IMAGE-RESIZE/RESAMPLE and select a lower resolution.
By the way, some digital cams save the pics as .bmp files. Although a .bmp is higher quality, it takes up a lot of space. The same image (a 150Kb .jpg, for example) might be 8 to 10 times larger (getting into the Mb size now, Egon). If it's a .bmp, just open it (using Irfanview) and save as a .jpg

O.K. what did you do with the rock once you had it lassoed?

Roy:
I don't have a digital camera. These were photos that had been put on a disc. The originals were way to large to post and with my limited computer [ read non existentant ] skills it took a long time to figure out how to resize.

Thanks for the information.

The " little mule " also moved the rocks beside it up a 15 degree slope.

The guy taking the picture is kinda small too.

The rocK is slate and will be split into thinner sections for use in the lakeside camping area.

Cool picture!

You know not to used slate in a fire pit, right? It can explode.

Great stuff for landscaping, though.

 

[Egon]

Actually, I don't have a fire pit. What I have is what I call a fire hill. It is composed of 5 slate rocks about 10 in. thick raised 16 inches above ground level. Its about 5ft. by 10 ft. No problems with exploding slate so far and there have been some real nice fires. Used the tractor loader to bring in the wood. The setup doesn't allow the the base to get all that hot and allows lots of air for a good fire. It's also a good place to dry wet boots and warm the feet on a cool evening.

Here's a picture of what the slate is used for.

I can see a large coffee pot and big skillet with bacon and eggs frying … this is a beautiful place … and I’m sure you are very proud of it …as you should be …

Yea; we kinda like it. Only how's about a fresh morning caught trout instead of the bacon.
