RCS AND A RETURN TO IT'S FORMER GLORY

Steve, would I do that after I had dumped the images onto the site? In other words, right now I post the link on the URL and people can click on that and get the pictures. Are you saying that I can post the link and then do the things you are talking about and the pictures will show up on the coffee shop when people long onto the thread?

It is really hard to re-train an "old school"

OS!! go to edit and you can see how this image is linked from picasas

the image url is http://lh6.ggpht.com/-B444rlQMxIc/UXctlM8GiRI/AAAAAAAAKZ8/yMIX5QZoLtw/s640/DSCN0832.JPG

This is what you want to do

right click on the image then click properties, then highlite the image url and click Ctrl + C on your keyboard to copy the url then in the forum form submission click Crtrl + v to paste it.

then highlite that url in the form and click the Image button.

be sure to remove the s from https:// of the url so that it does not cause possible image download issues in the forum

Sounds like a lotta work but really on takes a few seconds once you get the hang of it :blush:

Actually I just tested it and the https in the image url does not cause and issue :cheer:

Well Vickie nothing much changes only on page 2 and already miles off the topic :)

Nice job Old School, hard to tell the difference in the quality between the different slates, well done.

I'm taxing my memory if there is anything left, I too have my asphalt mastic and greenstone key chain, fro Mike and Marlene, one morning I reeived a phone call from the Kiwi land it was Marlene and Mike just calling to chat lol Yep a lot of fine memories still locked up in the old brain. Question for Peter 1 are you the old Peter from Ireland I think that i called you way back when right before you decided to go pellet Good time by all I do remember the group meeting up in Orland Fl sponsered by RCS and crew Oh well time to take the kiddies to school

Ahhhh...

... memories are the chocolate of life.

My mastic encrusted abolone shell sits front and center on my desk to this very day. It gets more questions than anything in my office. So does a deer antler pen, turned on a Tom Hay lathe, a little info piece on Shakers and a Google Earth image of this beautiful little piece of farmland on a riverbend near Harrodsburg, KY that serves to remind me of a truly wonderful evening of back porch conversation. Also there are a couple of locking aluminum shingles that I will never use, but always appreciate. And a picture of a ponytailed dude and his skinny little buddy sitting around my fire ring (that little guy is now a 6' plus Marine). And a picture of a precious little Hart that serves to remind me of my many blessings, and to pray for my friends.

In my kitchen cupboard remains the ONCE used bottle of some kind of military designed tongue remover sent to me by a porcelain tongued naked dude in VA.

In my desk drawer, there are the certified financial records of 3 different contractors that sent me their info so we could spend hours on the phone to determine their true overhead and get their business back on track.

Perhaps not as singularly important as the Hart, but the most treasured for the good and genuine friendship it represents is the first run copy of "Something Has to Change, Little Change - Big Results" by Mark Lefty Holencik.

Then there are the memories of the volumes of generational knowledge, freely shared, through countless hours of composition...... nuggets and turds that I always said "Someday, I'll have my son read all this stuff in XYZ and ABC threads".... I often thought I should copy and paste some of this stuff to hand down.... But I thought it would always be there, and I could just do it tomorrow.

Tomorrow came, and the nuggets and turds were lost. My passion for writing on forums was also lost that day. I'm sorry Vickie, but for my part, that's where I went. A piece of me died that day as I thought of all the times my son tried to talk to me while I was regurgitating on the interwebs. I vowed never to let it happen again.

I will always treasure the friendships, but I have decided to spend more time in quiet, learning by observing the many things I don't know, instead of spending time in ignorance as i spew the little I'm sure about. Gaining new wisdom through the eyes of grandchildren, for I was too busy to learn it from my son.

Thank you for the thread. It is always a genuine treat to read Egg when he's been touched by a memory.

Whether you knew me as: Wordy (Scott) Captain Vacation (Bull) The King Albert Einstein The Village Shingle Idiot The Anti-Christ (SoCal) Friend or Foe, I simply say...

God Bless and thank you for sharing a piece of you with me, Mike H

I have always heard that whatever you put on the internet is there forever. That somewhere it is stored and can be pulled up somehow. Is there a way to find out where all of the old threads would be and bring them back? I would love to read some of Mikes nuggets again and even a few of my turds. :cheer:

There are some in the forum archives

I recall receiving an email from a semi retired roofer in Florida who had been through heart surgery, well without thinking I picked up the telephone dialed the long distance number and let the phone ring......and ring...and ring until a man answered and in a husky voice (needed a glass of water);

Hello Who? Peter? WTF it's 4am here.

I had completely forgotten about time zones and the fact that some people actually go to bed and sleep :)

Well he got his drink and we had a long chat all about stuff n nothin.

If that's what you recall then I guess it's the same Peter.

( made me laugh Gerry )

There are sites that record web sites one is called web archive (I think) worth looking up it may hold some of those treasures.

This thread is turning into a reunion, well it's better than my first time around when Tom (twill) took exception to my English UK spelling :)

A pleasure as always to be subjected to the writings of Egg and Mike H.

Now if only Pgriz would poke his head in here, the Quadfecta could be complete. :)

Going into archives brought back some memorys mac roofer for one! LOL

Yo! I'm not dead... yet.

Mike kindly sent me an e-mail to see if the bones were already shiny or just stinky, and I had to disappoint him by being still alive. It's been a while. I recognize many of the names, and yes, I'm still in the roofing trade.

Whether I have lots of time to participate... is still to be determined. I thought I knew stuff, and then stuff shows me how little I knew. So it's back to the basics, rebuilding, roofing 2.0. (or maybe it's 9.8 and I've lost count).

However, Vicki, I promise to come back more often.
