Steam Shovel Trail

[ksheffield]

What if you used different pictures and text?
I know from the BOD meetings that sometimes it's hard to get enough good content for TT.

Ahh yes, the "more work" loophole … I'll try the phone call/e-mail thing this week, see where that goes, then take it from there.

Changing the story up isn't that big of an issue. I can flesh it out a little more, make some edits. The photos may be another story because those were the best of the weekend shoot. However, Dan and John may be able to contribute their images too. I'll see what TT's image quality requirements are. Since TT uses gloss paper, images need to be about 300 dpi to hold up for the higher press quality demands. Not sure if those tiny digital cameras have that high of a resolution. They were getting some good shots too, so we'd want to get them in as well. I'd have to redo my photos as well if the 300 dpi rule is in effect.

Hope this stuff makes sense to someone besides me. I'm talking in publishing geek speak at the moment. Let me know if I sound like Charlie Brown's teacher.

It might be a while, I have to re-size them all before I can attach them.

Now I just have to keep these images away from my mother.
I'm 36 and she doesn't even want me riding my bicycle on the road. And that was before I got hit by a Range Rover bike commuting to work.
(Maybe a subconscious reason why I'm now a Toyota owner).

Forgot to say thanks for posting the photos. I've been showing them to everyone in the office. Then I printed them out so I could tell people on the streets "see, this was how I spent my weekend."

Thanks again guys,

Keith

Yeah...back in the day when I used to commute to work when we lived in the midwest I had a very elderly lady creep out from her red light just as I was coasting, after a nice down hill run, across her bumper. Went sliding...tweaked my neck which to this day isn't the way it was before she bumped me and of course tore my nice bike clothes, ground down one of my racks...thank God I had front panniers on that bike that day...that's what took the brunt of her bumper and the concrete I went sliding across.

I got clipped by a station wagon (ironinc hu?) going 55 MPH!
Just hit the rear tire of my bike...
If I were a FRACTION of a second slower, SPARKY would be a GONER!
Apparently, I was thrown about 6 ft in the air straight up. I guess that I tried to get up and walk, but then crumpled to the ground after a few steps...I bet that was funny to see!
I remember nothing of it, but that is what my friend told me!
I got really lucky on that day!

Chicks didnt dig scabs and bruises which really sucked, so I was getting NO PLAY for a spell!;p

I picked up a stranded Aussie cyclist near La Pine, OR, during my spring road trip. He'd been tagged by a truck along Highway 97. Needed a new rear hub, and was beat up, but not broken. He'd had a run of bad luck in Redding, CA, where his money, credit cards, etc. were stolen. Didn't want to go back to SF where the nearest Australian consulate office was, so he was headed for Seattle, the other consulate location. Let him camp at my site and dropped him off in Bend the next day where he could get to a bike shop.

Thought I scored some karma points, but paid for them. Guy was a jabber jaw. Never stopped talking unless he was eating or finally passed out in his tent. Next morning, I was asking "So, we should find you a bike shop pretty early today."
