Post yourself ?
It's always interesting seeing who your dealing with or talking to . We all get a mental image of what each other looks like . The picture we have is never right , I always get a kick out of it . I'v pretty well discribed myself accurately in my posts , 61 years old , fat , not too smart . Yea thats me , the fat guy in the overalls , probably the only one on the forum that could win a Junior Samples look a like contest . I'm at peace with myself and appearance . Post a photo of yourself if you want , should be interesting .

Re: Post yourself ?
I would, but I'm not near smart enough to figure out how to post a picture at this site with my iPad. I've tried and tried.

I'm betting it is a Mowery black powder rifle.chuck j wrote:I at least figured someone would ask about the crazy looking rifle I'm toten in my picture .
Re: Post yourself ?
Bingo Sidro !! Made right here in the great state of Texas ! The man must know his Blackpowder rifles , they were a copy of an Ethen Allen (not the furnature guy ) lockbox rifle made in the 1840's . Mowery Gunworks was located in Iowa Park Texas about 15 miles west of me in Wichita Falls . Mr. Mowery also owned an oilfield machine shop in the 70's , that is where I became acquainted with him . Great guy and big time BP enthusiast , they made handguns , rifles and even cannon .
Mine is the Bicentenial model made in 1976 , 50 cal .

Download and install a free copy of an app called DropBox. Then go to your photo app and select the picture you want. There's a little button with a "curved arrow" on it that allows you to send a photo by email, text, to facebook, etc. One of the options should be to DropBox. In DropBox, there is a "public" folder. Send the image to that folder. Then once the image has been uploaded, "click and hold" on it in DropBox, you should be given an option of copying the URL to that image.Wodathunkit wrote:I would, but I'm not near smart enough to figure out how to post a picture at this site with my iPad.

Then come back here, use the "Img" button to insert your button tags, and then paste the URL for the image into the tags.
Caveat: if your image is full sized, meaning however many pixels your camera is, it will be displayed full-sized on this page, meaning that even a large 27"-30" monitor won't be able to display the image without having to scroll vertically and horizontally. To avoid that, install a free photo-editing app on your iPad.......heck, for all I know, iPads may now have that capability built in (I haven't owned one in a while)....and output a reduced size copy of the image no larger than 800 pixels in its longest dimension, upload the reduced image, and that will be more than adequate for displaying a large enough picture to be quite clear without overwhelming the viewer's monitor. For an idea of what 800 pixels looks like, my image above is 450x450 pixels.
