Actually Don's post deals with how to post pictures, but he says at the start that he did not include info on how to resize pictures.
There are lots of programs out there to resize pictures, but one easy way is to use MS Paint which is already on any Windows based machine. In VISTA right click your image and select "Open With Paint"; or in XP right click your image, select "Edit" and it will open in MS Paint. When open in Paint select "Image" and then "Attributes" and note the file size in Pixels, for example it may be 1200x1600. Don's post says that 480x640 is a good size, and that's 40 % of the 1200x1600 (480/1200 = 0.40). Click "OK" and select "Image" and then "Resize/Skew" where you replace "100%" with "40%" and hit "OK". Your picture is now 40% of the original size. If you want to protect your original higher resolution picture file select "File" and "Save As", edit your file name and hit "Save". Now when you browse the picture files to add one to a post select the new file name and you'll have a right sized picture.

That bottle could be attached to the kick panel inside and fitted with a tube and funnel for drivers with small bladders on long trips.

Like the "pilot's relief tubes" in military planes! Those had a rubber hose connected to little 1/4" venturi drains on the outside of the plane that created a very low suction in flight, into the air stream. Knew a guy who got back at a couple of pilot officers who he considered to be "over bearing" by snapping off a wooden pencil in those drains as they were taxiing out on a long cross country flight I guess "relief" became a wet mess for those guys... Sorry for the hijack - Mello triggered old memories....
