Was: Introduction Bigjohn, now John Deere
« on: 02.02. 2015 16:58 »
Hi again John, quite a few options , kind of depends on which program you prefer I like "paint.net" written by the some of the guys that wrote "paint" for MS, paint also works much the same way, both are free, you will probably have paint on your PC if it's a windows type.

load your pic in to Paint, do any alterations you might want then go to "File" then "Save as" and you will be presented with pic 1, note the preview file size just above the pictures top right corner, in this case 308 kb which would be fine but if it was to large slide the "Quality arrow along the slider until it gets to the size you require as in pic2 then give it a name and it's done

Ah you've fixed it, I'll send this though, might help others

It is indeed, seasonally drove it for the last five years of my working life and then part time for a year or two, comfortable in the field but a bone shaker on the road, and we shifted it along the queens highways between farms and fields, never had any trouble with traffic they just moved out of the way *smile*

Wellllll, far more expert at Google, but enough of an aficionado to recognize JD green. Though I could, I won't try to prolong the ruse. For me, driving one of those would be a thrill, while commonplace for you.

Reminds me of my youth. My dad used to sow a couple of acres of rye or barley each year. Boy, did I had the time of my life when these guys with there combine harvesters came along and they took me on board for the ride. As my dad was just a little farmer they usually came at the end of the day for a last job, so often it was at nightfall or even in complete darkness. Until today I still remember the smell and the sound they made and the drink of beer that went round after the job...

BTW, very nice collection of bikes bigjohn. especially the Enfield!
