Thanks Tyler for the fine tutorial video re posting drawings, pics, and video clips. Hopefully you made it simple enough for even us semi-extinct species can make it work… some day when I feel real brave… :):)  Am pretty certain the computer hates me :)  Heck, I recall watching 'The Mickey Mouse Club" and "Sky King" on a B & W TV that was about the size of a sofa with a screen like a dinner plate… course I remember doing the dishes with my brother while listening to "Gunsmoke" on the radio… Then there was the last Ice Age….. :)

     The instructions look 'idiot-proof' but then some of us idiots are pretty ingenious in screwing things up!!! :)

No problem Don, I hope they help. You weren't the only one having trouble figuring out how to post pictures. Several others were having the same issue. 

I've never heard of Sky King, but Festus from Gunsmoke is (was) my relative. So I've heard of Gunsmoke. In fact, I used to watch re-runs with my grandpa all the time.

Festus and Jack Youngblood (a distant cousin) are my only two claims to fame. :)

     Off Topic,

     We'll overlook you never having heard of "Sky King" or his hot daughter, Penny – don't think his Cessna had a nickname like 'Trigger' or 'Buttermilk' like Roy and Dale's horses… :) Heck, even their jeep had a nickname, 'NellieBelle' :) 

     My only claim to fame other that Grandpa's WW2 fuel injector patent was my other Grandpa… he always told us Grandkids about his glory days playing semi-pro football in the Chicago area, even playing in soldiers' Field, and him knowing George Halas, later the owner of the NFL Chicago Bears team… yeah, sure Gramps… but when Grandpa died, Halas sent flowers to the funeral! Gramps also said he played against the great Jim Thorpe who knocked him on his a** twice. So much interesting, arcane history in most all families! One of my childhood buddy's family was distantly related to James Knox Polk, a pre-Civil War US President. Heck, after another century or two of this wonderful South Carolina heat [I LUV it!] even a frozen Ohio mammoth could thaw out and tell tales of the blizzard of 1976… I'm sure my grandchildren won't believe the stories either!!! :)

My suspicions have now been proven correct.

interesting stuff that i have no idea bout….

my most recent famous relitive would be john mccain (not to proud of it) and the rappers of ICP (distant), i do know that one of my ancestors (holy crap, did i spell that right?!?!?) was good friends w/ the Write Bros. and was there for their first flight. It fits my career choice perfectly
