Jonathan (HJ60) has helped me many times. But I feel bad, because it seems every time I call him, I need help. Plus he lives in Mesa, doesn't have a work space, and is often pretty busy.

I'm kinda HUNGEE.
But we're having a "tailgate" at work today, that I am sure will feature many calorific options. So I'm trying to conserve.
Mebbe I'll make some tea.

But I hear what you are saying.  An "update" by Woody might/might not wipe out attached files.
 I guess it is just a way of sharing your files.

Its handy for sharing trip info. Like when I posted up photos of that slot canyon I did a couple weeks back...I could have attached this file and shown you fuckers exactly where it is.

Hey somebody open that for me and tell me what it looks like.
Just curious if google earth zooms you in still looking straight down at the Earth, or if it angles properly to look at the topography. Should look like this:

Those are all valid, but I am still calling shenanigans.
Why?
Mostly because I like the word and calling shenanigans makes me feel important.

The circle on top right with a N will do that for you. Hit the N and it orients the image N-S. The buttons that point up-down change the tilt of the image. For some reason during zooming the tilt changes. I find it irritating.

I could do without the canned chikn in the middle, however.

I try not to bother the man until I'm about to order. I'm really just curious at this point. I don't have the coin for it now. Poor grad student and all....

In other news...ran by the gubbery shop on the way home last night. They somehow scored 4 giant tupperware bins full of miscellaneous holsters. Its a total mess, but they are good quality holsters for the most part, and way discounted. Tons of them.
I ended up finding one of these:
Bianchi 01 that fits my 3" model 60 perfect...with a thumb break (kinda meh on that, may end up chopping it off).
And an ankle holster for the snub similar to this one, but with leather around the gub:
Got both for $50 out the door.

I understand how to navigate around, I was just curious if when I sent you guys the file, if it zoomed in directly above the point, or if it oriented like the direction shown in the attached photo.

I always see imperfections in our newly remodeled bathroom tile jobs as well
then I look at tile jobs in styly hotels or upscaler houses and see the same imperfections -

Flagstaff (where Mushro is) is 2.5 hours minimum
the folks in the Phoenix area are really widely dispersed - Phoenix has a greater geographical spread than Los Angeles
