Tractor tires

[scruffy]

Bird, as I've said on things before, it ain't the pretty that counts, its the functionality! That pic is functional!
Don't worry about using it, as we can see what you want us to see!

Bird -

I used to restore photographs for a living, so I thought I would jump in and try to help.

Consider the light clouds as a gift. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

You are WAY too talented Harv!!

I'm pretty sure I remember a comment awhile ago saying that tire repair shop won't (or can't) work on methanol filled tires. I think it has to do with enviro regs, but I can't remember if was a state or national thing. I guess that might be a good thing to check out.

At any rate, methanol, ethyl-glycol anti-freeze & CaCl all have disposal problems. Non-toxic anti-freeze is available and has fewer problems--at a cost of course.

Harv, it's amazing the things you can do with these computers if you know how! Unfortunately, I frequently don't.

Give me a tractor and I'll make you eat those words, Gerard! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Same goes for tractors I'll bet. I'm just buttering you up for when I finally do have one and need your advice by the loader full. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Bird, I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to computers. What I'm able to do with the computer as compared to what the computer is really capable of doing. But in time our knowledge level will improve and tasks that used to be difficult will be second nature. Guess it relates back to learning how to ride a bike!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Get this I was pretty proud of myself the other day when I figured out how to save a file from e-mail and then post a picture on this board. I was impressed and I know that alot of you guys reading this are laughing because this is a pretty simple task to those that are computer savvy. But I'm a computer newbie so---live and learn.

By the way Bird what were you holding in that picture?
Was my guess right?

Gordon, This is my 6th computer, I've been using them at home for 20 years, and I still consider myself very much a novice. When you get used to using one for specific purposes, then you tend to forget the other things that can be done with it (or at least I do). And, yes, your guess was right. I mailed Muhammad a color copy of that photo because I didn't know how to post one on the Internet, but did know that even if I succeeded, it would be black and white. Of course, the one I posted wasn't anywhere near as clear as the original either.

Bird, I set my monitor settings to supersonic sniper mode to read the paper in your hands. Nice tractor, you have good taste in tractors!

If you believe the sniper mode I have a barely used L3750 that I'll sell you./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hey I tried my hand at restoring that photo too... let me know how I did!!

 

[Harv]

Extraordinary !!!

You have an exceptional flare for detail, Muhammad!

I especially like the way you added in the camera's date-stamp in the lower right corner. Nice touch. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Oh, yeah -- and Bird is even better-looking in your rendering. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[Muhammad]

Awww well uh gee I don't know what to say!! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

 

[scruffy]

Sorry Harv, you lose! Its obvious that Muhammad more money at restoring pictures! ;o) Nice lookin' tractor! Who's da ol' geezer? ;o) Hey Bird! Nice to have a pic to see who were chatting with.

 

[Muhammad]

Actually, I think Harv wins this one... that image I posted was the scale-down of the 4x8' blowup print Bird sent me! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif And I was going to wait to post it... the tractor being so clean is what I first mentioned to Bird.

 

[Bird]

Very good, Muhammad. Now if my photographer had just been good enough, or had the light right, or something, so you could read the certificate and the Kubota name on my cap . . ./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

[Muhammad]

Yeah, you can on the second photo... I'll probably use that one.
