Puppy Visitors came in an unusual ride

[Tom M King]

It's an Amphibian. They wanted to test the bottom before taxiing out of the water. Since the water was calm today, they just left it in shallow water while they were here. They'll taxi out when they come back. The beach in the background in the first picture is about a mile away-distance distorted by telephoto.

Wait a minute .... I came here for the puppies. Where are the puppy visitors!

Cool looking plane though. :)

:) They came to visit our puppies. My Wife is a dog breeder. This couple want to get one some time in the future. There is a waiting list. Here's a video/puppy fix of the puppies playing on their screened porch. Our puppies are kind of famous in the world of Havanese dogs. We've had people come from all over, and as far away as South Korea to visit our dogs and puppies.

Is there an easy way to rotate pictures here now? Of the five forums I belong to on different subjects, three have no problem with phone pictures, and one (forestryforum) has an editor that pictures go to before being posted anyway, and there are rotate buttons there. With this one, I can rotate a picture up to five times in Windows 10 Pictures and it still not post correctly here. It seems like it just has to be luck to get it right. I just gave up.

I know there must be a simple way to do it, but I don't know it. I figured the software here would be updated at some point to catch up, and in the meantime, I'll just do the one step process however it works out.

Not a permanent fix but Firefox has as add-on called "Rotate and Zoom Image". I don't know about other browsers.

It's a variation of the well known "$100 hamburger". I need an excuse to go flying and what's that? The destination on a lake? Let's go!

Looks like it's still a multiple step process here, which I'm not willing to do since they can be posted multiple other places with no issues. I'll just keep posting them here like I do everywhere else. Maybe the software here will be updated at some point. If not, feel free not to bother to twist your head to look at my pictures.

It kind of amazes me that this problem has been going on so long with the vBulletin software and vB 4.2.5 has been EOL for at least 8 years. At least that is what their support page suggests.

End Of Life usually means there is going to be an upgrade of some kind.

Many of us have lives too busy to take extra time to fix something some software developer is to lazy to, unwilling to or incapable of fixing. I recall when there was an add on to the vBulletin software that allowed 8 images to be uploaded all at once. It was rather convenient but there was a vulnerability that the owner of the API wasn't going to fix and of course, VBulletin wasn't going to bother writing a script to replace it. That was going to be fixed in the next upgrade. My search through old posts indicates this happened back in 2014.

Here is part of the post:


PS: We can upgrade SawmillCreek to vBulletin 5. However, this is a major undertaking, will involve downtime, has risks, and of course, will change where "everything is" (TM), which will garner many more complaints than the uploader. We will move to 5 eventually, but probably not until May at the earliest.

The "risks" and "changing were "everything is"" is one of the reasons for my tending to not upgrade my OS until abso-(expetivin')-lutely necessary.

not every day you see some wading around their airplane ;)
(btw if you double-click the images in the viewer you can expand them to full size)

Thanks, Kev. I do a lot of different kinds of work, but with computers is not on the list.

What a cool Plane and lovely spot! I am sure I would have a good deal of anxiety if I were ever to ride in one. Especially landing on water.

With my iPod touch the images show up correctly when I take pictures with the device horizontal with the volume buttons down.

How cool to have a plane like that to show up and then relax with the pups. Great video with the birds chirping in the background while watching the pups play around all the desensitization objects. Makes you want to sit down, reach out and be surrounded by a horde of puppies!
