Might have to keep an eye on the various services. The limits vary quite a lot, and the amount of the limit seems to change periodically and/or sporadically. Once upon a time Yahoo mail had no practical limit on the amount of email space you could use. There is a limit now, but it's huge; 1 TB. That is a thousand gigabytes, or a billion megabytes. That's a whole lotta storage for email.

Here's the tape I used, 3M VHB 4950  https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Y7GIKI/ref=od_aui_detailpages01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Photobucket doesn't let you share images anymore, unless you pay them a $400 a year extortion.. err... "use fee."

Not true.  YOu have a limit, I think it's 5gb is all you get for free.  If you go in and delete some of your old pictures, you'll always have space.  I'm still using photobucket for free and have ever since it was invented.  I keep hearing over and over that you have to pay now, but people must not realize that everything has a limit.  You only have to pay if you've exceeded your 5 gb limit.

I just shared photos from Photobucket on here last night. Free. You get a limited amount of storage but a lot if you watch the size of you photos.

Thanks for posting a link to a close up of your double sided tape solar panel mounts. I'll be honest that I'm kind of astonished that over time and traveling down the highways and byways that your panels have still stayed fixed to your Pod with just using that tape.

 I have had an Imgur account for 5 years and only use it for forum links. I have about 60 pictures on it.   All Goofy pics of car parts,Pod mods,and such. Stuff I don't care who sees. As far as I can tell they stay until you delete them, or they stay forever floating somewhere in the interweb.
 I don't use it for personal pics and don't make any public except with the link.
