And as far as using you as a clamp, I thought how neat it would be to just be able to ask you to "hold this for a couple of hours" instead of having to continually put the clamps on and take them off again.

I hope I get the order right here...but these are the alleged sunrise pics from the morning of July 21st. Sunrise here was at 5:32 a.m. that morning.
Pic 1, looking at what is supposed to be the sun, 17 minutes after sunrise.
Pic 2, looking over towards Ladysmith on Vancouver Island. You might be able to see some little orange dots...that is the sun reflecting off windows in some of the houses over there. About 8 - 10 miles away.
Pic 3, looking towards Vancouver, 23 minutes after sunrise, the far distant mountains are just behind North and West Vancouver. That would be about 35 miles from here.
Pic 4, here I climbed up on to the roof of the house and once again tried to find the sun - an hour and 37 minutes past sunrise.
Last one, two hours after sunrise and you can now see the sun peeking between the trees...it was another hour until the sun finally cleared the trees.
The trouble is that the fir trees are around 100 feet tall, and they sit up on the ridges on the island, so it takes awhile for the sun to get that high.
Nope, the 'puter put the fourth pic in first place. That one is from the roof of the house. I guess it is the orientation of the photo that caused it to do that.
If you want to put pictures in a specific order, here's what I do. Sorry if it ends up not making sense or if I'm telling you something you already know.
Type what you want to say first.
Hit the 'enter' button on your keyboard to move the cursor down 2 spaces.
Click on the little paperclip at the top of the box. A window will open giving you a list of the pics you've just uploaded.
Click on the picture you want.
Some words and numbers in parenthesis will show up where your cursor was. Move your cursor to the end of that line and hit your 'enter' button twice again to double-space. Leaving these double spaces makes it possible for you to go back later and add text or another picture.
At this point, you can add more text or click on the paperclip to add the next picture.
Repeat.
Hope this helps.

Man I could just feel a cup of coffee in my hand looking at the beautiful sunrise pictures and feel the warm cozy feeling of a new day dawning. (OK so I'm a whimp ) Thanks buddy.
Barb, I also appreciate your information on picture posting, I will print that out and see if I can get it to work for me.
This is a test of you national... OK it is a test to see if I am smart enough to post pictures and text as Barb has instructed. Here goes.. and a picture
And some more text. Now to see if it worked.
Jim
Well, I didn't do something right so I will see if editing the post will work. And now...

Reason: Testing
Well so much for that, I'm sorry that I am testing on your thread buddy maybe I can get a mod to remove it.
Jim
No, don't do that...leave it there. That way we all know what works and what doesn't. I'm going to try some pix later on and use Barb's method. I think what she was referring to was how to get pix in order.

Just waiting for the missus to get ready to go across this morning, and sanded and re-coated the table again.
Yesterday I varnished when the sun was too warm, and in a couple of places the varnish wrinkled. That was from tipping off too slowly. Sanded the entire top with the random orbital this time. It seems nice and smooth.
Roughly from the west, the stairs going up in that nice curve were to wrap around a hot tub. It turned out that the outer part of the stairs would have encroached beyond our setback requirements. Not by much, just enough to annoy me. However, not to be deterred, I have shifted the tub location and altered the stairs to fit within the requirements. That is not done yet, but the material for the tub is all cut out and awaits assembly.
I would love to see the finish product.

That looks like a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.
The wind dropped enough to get wife number 2 over to town today. It was late when we got back - around 8:15 pm. I still wanted to get more cedar stuck on the railing sooo...
...and for company, the moon was coming up behind the trees
) Thanks buddy.
