The empty case of Jack pretty much sums up the quality of anything you are going to find on that rig, including any work that has been done on it. Shows that large amounts of liquor and a "git 'er done" attitude doesn't always produce the desired results.....

Tractor puller make sense, but, no roll cage? Is this a "Mid-Western" build?
It's cute that the trailer is chained to the truck. I'd be skeered of stealing the trailer knowing that the truck might follow. :eek: :D

Ya know, as much as hate HOA's, this is a prime example of why we might need them. (As if the pink trim on the house wasn't enough to send you hurling...):erm:

Pink? I thought it was purple! Either way, it's hideous, but at least they are consistent, the parking lines are the same color! :lmao:

X2 on lavender, Jackie. Or maybe lilac. :lmao:

LaDawn, even though she is partial to lavender, thought that this particular combination was in very low taste. You have to admit that the trim on the house and the matching lines on the pavement, plus the sweet decorations in the back to the nicely kept rig, do add up to a redneck's idea of heaven sent goodness. All that the picture really needs is the overweight woman with no teeth, her hair in matching lavender curlers and bathrobe( oh...not to forget the tattoo on her calf that is now hanging down over her ankle bone....never figured out how that happens, but attractive it is, for sure..), plus the dude in the wife beater, again with no teeth, big beer gut hanging over his PJs, jug ears and no chin and, of course, a matching set of lavender cement blocks....and, let us not forget, the Confederate flag prominently displaced in the back window with "The South Shall Rise Again" (yeah....um right...rise above WHAT?) on it....
Tasteful, tasteful, tasteful.....
And yeah, before anyone gets all sensitive about me dissing rednecks, I was born in the south (sad to say) and was more of an armed redneck with long hair than I ever was a peace loving hippy dude...just had a little more racial tolerance than a lot of the other folks down there.....
Ahhhhh...closer...
Brody

and I am STILL an armed redneck with long hair...
Lucky you still have your hair. I don't..though I am armed about 99% of the time....Kinda loses something when you say something like "old bald guy, armed and dangerous with attitude....":D
Small, but significant distinction between white trash and red necks...This is definitely in the white trash realm of holy goodness....

I hate how so many people have destroyed what being a redneck actually meant. Once upon a time what a decent thing it was.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Chris. Back in the day, I really got a lot of pleasure out of throwing my Bud cans into streams and lakes and stuff. Now it just doesn't have the appeal that it used to and people really get upset about it.....and there are now so many cheap nasty beers out there I have to make a choice of can colors.
I mean, what the hell, that **** degrades inna couple of centuries, right?:D
JOKE!

You can right click on the picture and do a "save image" or "save image as" . It (being your computer) will ask (more or less) where? and as what. Designate your desktop as the destination so you can find it easily later on for printing or what not, rather than trying to find it where the default save is. I believe the picture is already in a .jpeg format, so you don't really have to worry about the 'save as what?' stuff. If this crops up, save as a .jpeg image file, somewhere over a 5 setting, depends on what program you are using , too...
You did say something about not being all to fond of computers, right? Maybe this is stuff you already know. If it is, ignore it....

Please remove folks (so i can add my band!) and send me photo file in PM. I am seriously bringing this to the band...
There's no way you will get the quality you need for an album cover from this .JPEG file. You'll need a high-res shot. But if you can find the real mcCoy and get the shot you need, I will buy your album just for that...! In fact I will buy several and give them away as Christmas presents.
Oh by the way... what type of music do you play? :D

There's no way you will get the quality you need for an album cover from this .JPEG file.
There is a PS plug in that allows you to enlarge the picture to whatever size you need without it getting pixelated. You can take pretty much any image file and just run it through this program and increase the image size to whatever size you want and it will look just the same. I have it and have used it quite a bit, but can't remember the name of the program/add on. It is loaded on both the desktops downstairs, the Mac and PC, but not the laptop.
Nice little program, too, and I have had it for about 6 years.

Really? I'm going to have to hunt that down. Never heard of it and I have both PS CS3 and CS5. Thanks!

It is by Extensis and called PXL Smart Scale. Had to dig though all my graphics junk to find the book. Easier than trying to look through 200-300 graphics CD/DVDs for both Mac and PC. It is also a dual platform program, which is nice. I do all my "real" graphic design stuff on the Mac and the "regular" junk on the PC...

So you can actually take a web graphic (typically a 72 dpi image) and blow it up to be of print quality (which to my knowledge) is supposed to be at least 300 dpi?
Brody

Pretty much. I have used it and was happy with it. I got it mainly to rectify some images that I had done, but lost the original and only had the low res versions of.
Here is what their propaganda says:
