dsmiths.. what I do is just put them on photobucket, full size upload from my device, then when I link them here, they show up fine. Using kB size doesn't work well, because file size does not equal picture size, the amount of picture detail affects it also.
is easypeasy freesy.. |

Yes, the resolution of the picture weighs into the total size. I think I usually have mine set to 72 pixels/inch when I resize them to 6 x 8 for this site.

FYI for Windows users. Paint, included with Windows, will resize an image without going to a third party service. With the large image on the desktop, right click on the image and select "open with". Click on Paint. After the image load, click on "Resize" at the upper left on the menu bar. Then select "Pixels. I find 640 or 800 horizontal pixels yield a good size for uploading. The resulting file siz will be about 250 KB. Be sure the "maintain aspect ratio" box remains checked. Then "save as" back to the desktop with the original name or a new one if you want to retain the original.

Yea, I'm still here....! Been busier since I retired than before, it seems! I like your solution for the fender shelf, but I always try to avoid tying things down with elastic cords. So I made the two leg shelf. The 4 cup (2 mug) coffee maker sits there, always 24/7,, along with a coffee container and a sugar jar! I'm up at 6, BW at 8+ so coffee and a fire are going first!
On the other side of the pod, I made a shelf for washing dishes (won't find me with soft clean hands on a camping trip!) for the BW. I used a 5 ft length of white coated shelf, two of the reinforced angle brackets and two of those clips they sell to hold the shelving up. Rest the center of the shelf on the fender and support the ends with brackets, hold close to the wall with the clips. I have an auxiliary shower on the street side wall (see several posts on how these can be installed) so dish pans can be filled, rinsing complete, etc and nice clean dishes show up the next meal for the delicious food we serve at Chez Free Spirit. I think I posted some photos. If not let me know and I will do so. BTW, I am not afraid to put holes in the sides of my pod. The mfr does it, so with a good application of white silicone, I drill away, usually using short Molly bolts to fasten too the walls. Happy podding! Walt

Good grief, I don't know how I did that. I am going to quit and fix some lunch.

We were thinking of a fender shelf too! Love the ideas here. G is nervous about drilling into the side of the pod (we haven;t done our outdoor shower mod yet :( ).
We have a laptop speaker we use and a BT speaker as well.

g4, I didn't drill any holes, the prefinished tread is rounded 0n one edge and flat on the other. I put the flat edge toward the pod, It sets on foam strips on top of 1 by 1, this keeps it from sliding. the bungees keep it setting tight on top of the fender.
