I had my photos in a free account at photobucket, and a couple of years ago began using-up my allotted monthly bandwidth in less than two weeks.  This meant that for the remainder of those months, my photos were not viewable at all by others.  This was especially inconvenient when many of those photos were posted in how-to-do-it threads, which, without illustrations, became useless.
After some back-and-forth, I finally got some statistics from photobucket that showed where the bandwidth was being used - much was in forums such as this, but a surprisingly large amount was due to google searches.  My options were to either quit posting pictures or spring for a paid photobucket account, the latter which I somewhat reluctantly did.

Ahhh so it could be a double edged sword


and so far I just use facebook as sort of a blog for stuff I do: https://www.facebook.com/ryeguylocomotiveworks

though I doubt my photos will be lost there. I have a ton of photos uploaded on facebook of projects, a lot of stuff I haven't uploaded here, but I use facebook as a means of sharing the stuff, and most pictures I post here now are from facebook.

Mt. Doom is located in the north-west of the Black Land of Mordor and close to Barad-dûr.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for cluing Rich in, Roger  ;)

Rich, there is a back way to get there.  Would you like me to tell you about it?

Jbrock 27 :  did they ever get rid of the Orcs ?

jbrock27

Most were eventually killed.  Those that survived, went into hiding in deep places. ;)

In deep places already?  Jim; did the orcs mind you being in there with them?
Actually, to a much more better venue:  Got the new compressor wedged into the hole in the fireman's side walk way.  It looks good.  Now, I am deliberating the how and where I am going to install a central screw to hold the bod don nice and snug.  Rather than replace the gawky sand dome, I simply (??) sawed off the top portion, cut down the remainder, and, after I make some provisions for that long screw to screw into a nut, and install the plugs for the light circuit, I can slap the body onto the frame.
