Just save them elsewhere on your computer, like notepad or word pad.

Don't let the operator get near a Shopsmith or let the lawyer know that such a wonderful machine exists for those of us who can think and follow safety precautions. The guy who sued probably needed some dough to pay off one of his pharma reps. :eek: Think I'll go crank up the band saw and see how much damage I can do to some scraps. Wishing all a super day.

Save it as a jpg file by selecting FILE / SAVE AS and make sure the file save as option is set to JPEG. (if your going to upload the image to the forum, you'll have to make sure the image is no larger than 800x600 pixels. You can do that from Paint by using IMAGE / RESIZE if you don't mind doing a little math since it depends on big the image is initially as seen in IMAGE / ATTRIBUTES)

It may reflect that folks are remodeling since they are not building so many new houses but a local counter-top factory is very busy.
I have a grandson and the husband of a granddaughter that both work at a large local counter-top maker that ships nationally. Both young men are working 2 hours overtime each day (and have been for some weeks) and now there is talk of them also starting to work weekends soon... Since the counter-top is only part of the system I would assume that at least a fair number of those new tops are going to be attached to new cabinets and that some of those will go into new houses.
I was talking with a long time real estate broker acquaintence recently and she said that if she gets a listing for a house that is priced at a reasonable price it is gone. She is having trouble keeping listings. Of course those listings that are priced from "high" on up to "pie in the sky" levels for what they are will still sitting.
We are in better than average shape here in my part of Indiana (20 miles south east of Indy) for several reasons. Much of our county is still ag based and our industrial base is very diverse, not just automotive based. It also helps that we were a little behind other donut counties in development (thankfully). The "donut" counties are the 7 counties that share borders with Marion County which is Indianapolis.
We also have a betting horse race track / casino (they call it a racino) about 6 miles north of me. While a similar facility north east of Indy is going bankrupt this one is doing well. The local paper headline one day this week was "County government sitting on millions". Racino money of course. They are trying to decide what to spend it on...
Purdue University is going to be building a huge equine health center in the county and it looks like it will be quite close to the track.
I am pretty excited about the Lowes going into a new shopping center (and the White Castle) but I am a little concerned about the new apartment complex going in about a half mile from one corner of the farm. The last number I saw was almost 400 apartments. Time to build more electric fences. :D
You do know that farm fields belong to everybody and you can use them any way you like when ever you like (including as a wastebasket)... :rolleyes: :mad:
At least a lot of people seem to think so...

Besides reasonable manners, some city slickers need to be taught what "Posted" means!:rolleyes:
