Had a great time, these meetings were missed for a year and glad to get back together.
Some additional photos including the bling crossover pipe Phil made from stainless steel...a true work of art! Picture shows the original pipe and the bling copy.

Great Pix Jim. I clicked on one and it took me to Photobucket but it wouldn't let me see your pix unless I signed up for photobucket, which, given their history, I am not going to do. Any workaround? --Bob

Hi Bob,

I have a long and rocky relationship with PhotoBucket. I had over 4,000 images of our road trips that are hosted by PB. A few years ago PB decided to charge a much higher price for "hosting" images. It would have cost me over $400 a year to host what I had stored then.

I contacted them and tried to work out an agreement with no success. I began a process to store all the photos on our business web server and then edit the code on the every post I had made on the forum. Then I realized that I would not have any security if I tried to do self-hosting.

About a year after I cancelled my PhotoBucket account, I discovered that I could still access my images. I contacted PB and they said they wanted all of their customers to know that PB was dedicated to the goal of never dumping a customer's files. They set up a "Legacy Account" for me and I could host my pictures again. My plan is $7.99 per month which I think is fair.

I made the Album for these pictures Public. Let me know if that works. Also, I would like to know if a visitor can see other folders.

Jim

Thanks Jim, the photos work now. Also all your other albums are available as well. You are not the only one who has had a "rocky" relationship with Photobucket. They lost many, many customers with their clumsy ham-fisted approach to trying to get people to pay. I am glad you worked out something reasonable for you with them. But I personally would never use them after the aggravation they caused so many people. Still your pix are great. Sorry I am not close enough to come visit. --Bob
