|
|
We just got back from the Trinity Lake in Northern California. I have never seen so many tubs in my life! Some of those glass boats are wake making machines!! Not to mention the house boats the size of the QUEEN MARY!! No joke those boats are close to 60 feet long!! Those things make some serious waves!!! Great for the tubers and wake boarders, Bad news for the people just trying to go for a cruise! We ended up hitting a couple of those wakes! The first one we hit wasn't that bad I thought, It did end up throwing the wife's beer into the air and dowsed her from head to toe! That was the only fatality. The second LAKE ROLLER we hit caught us totally off guard!! I didn't see it until it was to late! Needless to say all I could get out of my mouth was hold on! We were running only at about 3300 rpms. Backed out of the throttle and the big white E6 was clear for take off!! We gave our boat the nickname of THE SPRUSE GOOSE!!! It was like running in an open ocean sometimes! We still had a blast though! Had quite a few people turn there heads when they saw our boat!! Sure wish I had the logo on the side of it though! JK XERO!!! I was proud to tell them it was an Eagle!!! Most would be amazed when we started up the motor!! We just have your average 350 package from Eagle. I could imagine what kind of reaction you would get if I brought a 21' SPORT with one of those HOOOOOOOOOOT motors in it!! Needless to say we will go back to the lake next year! One more thing these guys and gals won't drive a boat onto the trailer, The grab a rope and pull it onto the trailer!! I guess were just True RIVER RATS And not LAKE LICE!!!!!!! |

It's pretty simple once you learn how it's done.I was fairly green on this thing when we got it, but now I can do all sort's of things.There's two ways I know of.....
At the bottom of this screen under Filename Click browse and it should take you to the pictures saved on your computer.Click on the picture and it will show up in the little box before "Browse".Sometime's you have to resize them and there should be some sort of editor on the computer....I found a good size is 700X600 and then it wont run off the screen.
Secondly...you can join a site like "Photobucket.com" and download them on there.It's free and the even have a forum size to choose from.Once there uploaded you copy the "URL" and click Img on top of the big white box.....paste the URL and click Img again that will end it with a back slash.......like so_____[img] Paste your URL here [/img]then submit or preview and see if it works.
It took me while but I get by now............. |
